BIO:

Calliste is originally from the island of Crete, located off the coast of Greece in th Mediterranean Sea. When she was a child, her mother brought her to the ruins of the palace of Knossos and Calliste crawled away and found an ancient pillar-crypt, which was where the Minoans may have worshipped. She saw a vision of the Mother Goddess there, who told her that when she was older, she would have to defend the earth using the Goddess' powers. The young Calliste thought this was a great game and accepted the small double-headed axe the vision presented to her. When her mother found her again, she was sitting happily in the crypt, clutching the small axe.

Calliste grew up to have a great love of wood and carpentry. She lived with her parents and worked in her father's shop until they were both killed in a mysterious accident. It was soon after their deaths that Calliste met Mikko, and they became fast friends. A few months after meeting Mikko, Calliste was attacked by a stranger while walking home from work. She was forced to transform into Sailor Minos. Their nightly battles continued for a year until Minos was nearly defeated, but her assailant ran off into the night. Calliste decided to leave Crete and moved to Japan. She was happy when Mikko decided to join her. Soon after their move, Calliste was set up in her own shop and the attacks began again. Calliste never told Mikko about the stranger who was trying to kill her, or about her ability to become Sailor Minos.
