Lady Calla

Lady Calla (a.k.a. Dagmara) is a recurring character who appears in “The Whimsical World of Leopold”; she’s the adopted sister of Princess Iris and the biological daughter of her unnamed parents. She was also born and raised in Chechnya.

Appearance
Lady Calla is a beautiful mouse girl who has waist-length wavy brown hair in addition to a warm beige fur, black nose and matching whiskers and brown eyes.

In her first appearance, she wore a tattered wedding gown in addition to an equally tattered wedding headscarf; when Mitya and Motya help Princess Iris carry her into a spare room, her outfit magically (and permanently) transforms into a beautiful and luxurious-looking Rococo-inspired white ballgown with flouncy bell/pagoda sleeves and several lace trimmings everywhere (including the underneath of the flounced sleeves), respectively, in addition to a pair of silver glass slippers with a 2 1/2 heel on each shoe, a circlet made out of crystals and pearls and a calla lily-inspired jewelry consisting of a necklace, a pair of earrings and a ring, respectively.

Personality
Lady Calla is a curious individual who strongly desires to know things that she had been forbidden to learn about by her father when she was still living in Chechnya.

She’s also an adventurous young lady whose goal is to travel the world and visit different cities (especially Paris); however, that caused her father to slap her hard across the face in addition to angrily reminding her that all she would ever see was “whatever’s inside her husband’s house”.

Because of the abuse that she suffered at the hands of her father and brothers, she hates them; she also hates her mother for sitting idly by and passively letting her get abused.

After Princess Iris takes her in (with the help of Mitya and Motya), she becomes very close to the latter; she also deeply (yet platonically) adores Mitya and Motya, the latter of whom she has since considered her new brother figure.

Trivia
Lady Calla’s gown is inspired by Plumette’s human form from the 2017 remake of Beauty and the Beast.

Her dark and troubled past is inspired by that of Padma from the Kiera Cass book called The Siren.
