Dr. Calliope Torres is the most hardcore and bad ass surgeon of Seattle Grace Mercy West/Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital. She's the best orthopedic surgeon in the country, a superstar with a scalpel, who wears a red scrub cap. But, more than this, she is a wife and a mother. She is married to the perky Dr. Arizona Robbins, Head of Pediatrics. They are made for each other. They cannot live without one another, though they seem to forget this, sometimes. She is the mother to Sofia Robbin Sloan Torres. Even though Callie comes off as having a hard exterior, she is actually really loving and vulnerable. She wears her heart on her sleeve and has never had much of a filter. She always vocalizes what she is feeling in the moment, even though that has gotten her into trouble a few times. She is known for wearing her famous leather jacket that everyone loves. Callie Torres has the biggest heart of anyone at SGMW/GSM. Anyone who who gets to know her, will surly fall in love.
