DISLIKES: Showing his scar, not being able to communicate 

PERSONALITY:
-Impulsive/Whimsical- He enjoys the freedom of being able to go where the wind takes him and where his heart feels at home
-Cheerful- He most always has a happy-go-lucky attitude because very few things bring him down
-Responsible- Despite his tendencies to mess around and be too open with his humor, he recognizes that he was brought into this world for a reason and has a duty to fulfill as a magician
-Sociable- Contrary to not being able to speak, Calcifer is quite the social butterfly and thoroughly enjoys the company of others
-Optimistic/Shortsighted- He fails to recognize the evil in others because he doesn't believe people really can be evil, he just thinks that their perception of good is different from his own. As a result, he is quite easily swayed to whomever tries to gain his sympathy. 


HISTORY: The ambitious wizard Calcifer courted the beautiful sorceress Celeste many years ago. He charmed her into helping him perform a spell that would help them live forever and allow their love to last for all eternity (they had heard of the toxin but sought something void of such repercussions). Together, they would each pull down a star from the sky and swallow its light, giving their lives the energy to burn on into infinity. But Calcifer betrayed Celeste and stole her star to give to the non-magical woman he truly loved. Being pregnant with his child, Celeste was incredibly hurt and betrayed; she made it so that no soul would ever be able to see, feel or know of the woman's existence ever again - especially not Calcifer. He was furious with Celeste and went on a magical rampage, threatening to tear her home, Squirrel Kingdom, apart unless she yielded to his desires. But Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. She would not stand for his behavior any longer. Using the energy of C.J.'s birth to cast a spell, Celeste ripped Calcifer's soul out of his body and trapped him in a purgatory he would never escape from.
Furious with the transgressions of Celeste and her "lover," HazelNut punished her with the task of ensuring that Calcifer would never  return. So with her newborn cradled beside her, Celeste set out for the farthest reaches of the land. To the best of her ability, she ensured that his body would never be found or meet his soul again; C.J. was raised along the way, taught all that he could learn about magic and how it would ensure evil's defeat every time. Along the way, Celeste realized that the spirits of nature were angry with her wrongdoings and held her back from her true potential. Late one evening, they were attacked and C.J.'s throat was slit. Celeste was able to save her son's life but at the cost of his voice - he could never speak again. They carried on, regardless. But when her task was complete, Celeste suffered the ultimate repercussions for going against nature; she would have her own penance to serve, just like Calcifer and all the rest.
The spirits of nature would rip her out of existence.
She sent C.J. on his way to return to the Kingdom where at least he might be welcomed even if she wasn't. Near the end of his 6 year journey to return to Squirrel Kingdom, C.J. encountered a poor lost squirrel named Andrei. He felt a strong sense of charity for this squirrel and decided to help him on his journey home.

ADDITIONAL INFO: He cannot speak but communicates by touch, using his magic to project his thoughts into others' heads. As his skills develop, he may be able to project things more complicated than words, like images, and eventually be able to do it without the necessity of physical contact.
