Calianna Mordsson

 is a half-elf sorcerer. She is played by Mark Hulmes.

Appearance
Calianna is a half-elf with black hair decorated with green ribbons. The right half of her body is covered in black dragon scales, with her a yellow dragon eye, a right arm ending in a draconic claw, and a dragon's tail that she hides under her skirts. She often attempts to hide her draconic heritage, using her hair to cover her face and hiding her arm under her cloak. She wears an off-white blouse and skirt, brown leather waist cincher and belt, and a green cloak and overskirt.

Personality
Calianna is very complimentary of others, often pointing out aspects of them that she thinks are cute. She is very nervous, worried that new people might be either members of, or hired by, her former cult. She was very excitable, honest and talkative towards the Mighty Nein after Molly told her that he was a worshipper of Bahamut, the Platinum Dragon. Calianna was also prone to small outbursts of anger, specifically regarding loot from kills she regarded as hers. Calianna attributed this possessiveness to her dragon blood.

Background
Calianna told Beau that she was born in Port Damali, but didn't spend a lot of time there. She lived on the streets on her own and then was taken in by the Cult of the Caustic Heart, who raised her telling her she was special and important.

Serissa
Serissa led the Cult of the Caustic Heart and worshipped Tiamat. She was motherly and kind to Calianna, encouraging the cult to treat Calianna as special. She was able to convince Calianna it was the way of the world to kill people - merchants and other innocents - in the Scaled Tyrant's name. Calianna came to realise Serissa and the cult were evil and ran away from them.

Jester
Cali called herself naive, as she knows very little of the real world because the Cult kept her locked away. Jester insisted that she was not naive, and assured her that sheltered people can be quite intelligent. After the Bowl was destroyed, Cali and Jester promised to be pen pals. Later, Jester received a long letter and gifts for the whole party from her that were forwarded from Zadash to the Lavish Chateau in Nicodranas.

Quests
Cali traveled to the Labenda Swamp in search of a magical bowl that can be used in a ritual to contact The Scaled Tyrant. Cali wanted to destroy the bowl, or if that was not possible, hide it from the Cult of the Caustic Heart.
 * Cali found the bowl in The Gentleman's Safe House with the Mighty Nein's help. Yasha Nydoorin destroyed it using The Magician's Judge.

Quotations

 * "Can I write to you? Like, if we leave letters, can we be pen-pals, Jester?"
 * "Well, when I was raised people always complimented me, so I try to do the same for everyone else!"
 * "I'm very disappointed in you, Mr. Fjord!"

Trivia

 * Calianna is the third player character in the main campaign to be a different gender than their player, after Shale and Nott. There has been one more since, Lieve'tel in the Search for Grog one shot.
 * In artwork, Calianna's draconic side is depicted as being on her right, but Mark Hulmes roleplayed it being on his left. In a tweet Hulmes confirms that it should be on the right, he was nervous and made the mistake of using the wrong side during the episode.
 * Mark Hulmes has levelled up a copy of Calianna's character sheet on D&D Beyond each time the Mighty Nein has levelled up on stream.
 * Mark Hulmes indicated that he thinks Calianna would "lean more towards liking girls," though she does not "know herself yet" in terms of relationships.
