CHARACTER BIO

Arizona Robbins; Cuban food; dancing in her underwear
DISLIKES:
Not having enough money to pay her rent; getting criticized for not washing her hands after using the bathroom
NOTABLE RELATIONSHIPS:
Met George after treating him for a dislocated shoulder. The pair started dating and Callie fell for George in a big way—the two married! Ultimately, however, they divorced. Callie next sought refuge in the arms of Mark Sloan and, more recently, Arizona Robbins.
Callie’s relationship with her father has become a bit strained in recent months, mostly due to her relationship with Arizona.
OTHER:
Callie is the sort of woman who has had to stand on her own two feet most of her life. She's a passionate, hot-blooded young woman who isn't afraid to ruffle feathers in the typically male dominated hospital environment.
