Cally is a graduate of the Dorley programme; she was a member of the 2016 intake.[SD 44]

Cally speaks with a South London accent. Elle describes her as having "magnificent décolletage", and Cally seems to agree. [SD 44]

Cally is currently in a relationship with Elle, of which she describes her role as "basically a fucktoy", though Elle refutes the label. She currently spends most of her time in Elle's private suite in the secure wing of a Peckinville facility referred to as "the ranch". [SD 44]

After Elle confides in her, Cally is aware of the full details of what happens to washouts. [SD 44]

Personal history

Cally describes herself pre-transition as "a fucking mess" and sardonically blames her mother, who was a therapist. [SD 44]

During her second year, Cally and the rest of her intake had a crush on Jessica Bell, who taught self-defence. [SD 46]

Cally seems to be fully Dorleypilled and is vocally appreciative of her time at the Hall. Even after learning all the details of the Peckinville washout program she refuses to condemn Elle for her part in it. [SD 44]

Relationship with Elle

Cally first met Elle at a fundraiser in June 2019 (in Aunt Bea's presence) but the two did not start hooking up until meeting again in early January 2020. Elle was apparently "having a case of the sads" (presumably following Valérie's return to Dorley Hall and Beatrice's life), attracting Cally, a self-described "sucker for hopeless cases", who slept with her; Cally ultimately found Elle "weirdly charming" and "incredibly energetic [for her age]". The two's relationship has mainly been sexual thus far but Cally has shown interest in becoming a larger part of Elle's life. [SD 44]

Cally's life with her therapist mother, combined with her experience under a sponsor at Dorley, apparently makes Cally adept at reading Elle's moods and she often serves as a productive sounding board and empathetic ear for her thoughts and emotions as well as providing a pushy, sponsor-like sense of direction when Elle is wallowing in guilt. Elle is aware of the irony. [SD 44]

Notes on biographical information

  • Year of intake: Chapter 44 implies that Cally was in the 2016 intake by mentioning that there were three washouts in her intake; Alyson has confirmed this supposition in the Dorley Discord.
  • Hooking up with Elle: Cally says of their relationship, "we’ve been doing this, what, eleven days? Ten?", suggesting the two connected somewhere around January 8th 2020. [SD 44]
