== Trivia ==
== Trivia ==
* As this character is not yet released to the public, there isn't any reliable and concrete information about this character yet.
* Calico was called '''Nano''' in ''[[Neon Prime]]''.
* Calico's pet cat is called "Ava".
* At one point in development, Calico's gameplay style was inspired by Dota's [https://liquipedia.net/dota2/Broodmother Broodmother].
* Calico's weapon is called "Sweetest Lie".
* Calico was an arms dealer in her original background.<ref>{{HeroIcon|Calico}}'s old bio: ''"Granted the dubious honor of being named Time Magazine's most dangerous woman on the planet, Calico is an enigmatic occult arms dealer that is willing to fund any and all sides of a conflict if the price is right. While her critics (and friends) would correctly identify her as being amoral, she is not without her principles... however cold and calculated those principles may be."''</ref> Her background was changed when she was officially released on [[Update:January 17, 2025|January 17, 2025]].
* Players can access Calico in Hero Sandbox by '''activating console via F7''' and typing "'''selecthero hero_nano'''".
* Ava is a [[wikipedia:Sphynx_cat|Sphynx cat]]. Ironically, she's not a [[wikipedia:Calico_cat|Calico cat]], as her skin has no spots of different colors. (Despite the lack of fur, Sphynx cats can have Calico markings.)
* "Playing With Ava in the Hideout" is displayed as one's status in the in-game Friends List when playing as Calico in the [[Hideout]].
* When in the Hideout's Atrium, switching to Ava and then running near the smaller version of her will cause the kitten to follow you for the duration of the spell.
* Calico's lead developer is [[Hopoo]]. He redesigned her abilities and weapon after asking the community a series of three questions, twice<ref>2025-12-14 - [[Hopoo]]; Deadlock Discord - ''"Hey yall - some quick questions about Calico (posted this in the other channel, not knowing this was a thing.) -When you see Calico as a character, what do you expect? What is the “promise”? -What parts of that fantasy is working today? -What parts are not working?"''</ref>.
