Quote: “Well, mister black-suited Bureau guy, I was always told that fame is a double-edged sword. On one hoof, you can earn tons of money, the adulation of fans of your work, and instant recognition everywhere you go, amongst other things. But on the other hoof, the sheer amount of money is a really corrupting influence, the aforementioned adulation can be a bit much at times, and of course, you’ll likely never be able to have time to yourself anymore.”

Curtain Call is a 34 year old unicorn actress originally hailing from Trottingham, but who now technically lives in Sires Hollow, even if for much of any given year she can be found on film sets all across Equestria, or at one of her various other large properties.
“Callie,” as her friends call her, is a household name throughout the many regions of Equestria, mostly due to her starring and co-starring in various movies and TV shows over the last couple of decades. Tall, pretty, elegant, wealthy, and openly friendly, she is considered to be one of Equestria’s most eligible bachelorettes.
In her youth she attended stage school and was initially training for theatre work, but was subsequently selected by a talent scout after they witnessed a particularly impressive performance from Curtain Call, wherein she also gained her cutie mark, completely by chance.
However, Callie, despite all appearances to the contrary, has a fair level of resentment for the position that she finds herself in, and is actively considering retiring early in order to live out the rest of her life in some semblance of normality.
She considers herself to be getting rather jaded with all the glamour and glitz, and as she is rather broody, she would like to start a family before she gets too old to do so without having to resort to adoption. This is an option that she is keeping open, however, just in case.
Physically, Callie is tall, slim, and elegantly proportioned for a unicorn mare, having a lot in common with the Equestrian supermodel Fleur De Lis. Her height is approximately 5 feet and 8 inches, or around 173 centimetres tall, while she weighs in at 80 pounds, or almost 32.29 kilogrammes.
With regards to her magical prowess, they are noted to be rather average in power level and that she is not a natural in any magical discipline that she has ever attempted. Despite that, her magical aura, rather than appearing as the gentle glow that other unicorns manifest, appears more like an impressive display of dancing, ghostly blue flames along her horn, that appear to obey physics when it comes to their movement.
This minor, yet effectively, unique trait of hers is one of the major reasons that she is so recognisable, despite how many times she dyes or restyles her mane and tail or uses different makeup or outfits. Coupled with her rare build, it is a dead giveaway of her identity.
(It must be stated here that the appended image of Curtain Call does not represent her natural mane and tail colour - it is naturally a platinum blonde, but is almost never left that way. The black/white colouration was iconic to her most famous rom/com movie, “The Ladies of Manehattan.”)
When it comes to more personal matters, Callie is heterosexual and sees species as no barrier to love, so long as there is physical compatibility with a potential partner. Callie is an old-fashioned mare with mostly traditional ideals and would like to be courted properly. She especially likes chivalric traits in a guy and values honesty and a sense of humour.
In summation, Curtain Call is a very famous mare that could really do with some time to herself, and would prefer anonymity over continuing the vicious cycle that she had been unwittingly perpetuating. She is, in her mind, on the very precipice of starting a new, quieter chapter in her life.
