in general, calodor is free-spirited and likes to think beyond the borders of shi'ian. he does not care much for others opinions, nor does he take life seriously. while, being the eldest prince and the probable heir to the crown, he finds himself on the streets with his companions disguised as a mere commoner. he finds the problems of the castle trivial much to the annoyance of his mother. in the past years, he has avoided the discussion with his father of his ascension, and instead, he has traveled to various places under the premise of strengthening the kingdom's bonds with the other kingdoms. he is most himself during the night being very much a night owl. he was formerly known to be quite a clever prankster in his teens. but, fortunately he has grown out of that. cal tends to be forgetful of things that are not important to him and has the inability to remember faces that well which can lead to unfavorable situations. 

cal has more progressive ideas than his father, and they often clash in political styles due to his father being more set in traditional ways. of course, that does not mean cal dislikes his father; rather, he wishes his father was not so stubborn. cal believes change is necessary in the advancement of society as well as the individual himself. this point has caused many debates in the castle with his father winning each one as he had the ultimate advantage over cal--besides his status as the king, his stubbornness. he has inherited that trait from his father to some extent. also similar to his father, cal is does not appreciate when his time is being wasted. he can be a bit impatient about getting things done, but it is hard to anger him. in fact, when he is upset, it is mostly out of disappointment instead of anger. in that way, he can border the lines of manipulation but usually not out of bad intention.

he values loyalty above all and betrayal is not taken lightly. he is not the type to hold grudges; however, he will never treat you quite the same after. most of his friends are knights who he grew up with, but there are a couple of scholars that he befriended out of his interest in foreign diplomacy. he would also never betray any of his friends no matter what. cal also values action over words. he takes the word of others very lightly as most should do with his own. he sets low expectations for the those around him as he has come to find out that people are largely flawed and therefore cannot be completely trusted mentally. for example, you could trust someone with your physical life but not your inner thoughts.

calodor was born the second child and the first son of the king and queen of shi'ian. his family were relatively close, although his father prioritized the kingdom over himself and his family. cal  had been a mischievous child so because he was the probably future heir, his father wanted to discipline him so he would not retain that trait into the future. he began vigorous training and studies early due to king's insistence. he longed for the hours of leisure and play that his younger brother and sister enjoyed. but, as he advanced in both, he began to enjoy them, however, and began to push himself further even in his free time. 

he began to notice the difference in treatment that his older sister was often subjected to. his mother would slowly not allow her to play with their little brother, and instead, she would be inside learning the arts even though she clearly would rather be outside enjoying the sun. when cal would ask his older sister why this was so, she would merely state that she was a princess and not a child anymore. this was the first instance in that he did not understood the purpose of a societal ideal. as the years went by, he kept the steadfast closeness he and his siblings shared despite leaving to other kingdoms to study their distinct cultures and also partake in improving relations.

cal has begun to realize he may not be the right fit for the crown as he knows that constant action is what he needs in his life. while being a king means pressure, responsibility, and constant presence in the public eye, there is no fighting in the frontlines of a battle in most cases or exploring an undiscovered stretch of a wild jungle. however, he does not want to pass on that responsibility to his younger brother if he does not want it and the king and queen would probably not consider his older sister if she did not marry--which in that case, the crown would technically go to her betrothed.
