I actually think she's really beautiful. The second I saw her I was like, "Please don't make me have to kill her. She's too pretty to die." The gap teeth, complexion, hair color; she sort of reminds me of Georgia May Jagger.
I find her a mix of pretty and homely. Like, there are flaws, but there is also beauty. A "6" on the ole scale (where 5 = average).
If she were an option, I would romance the hell out of her, because charisma and compelling character trump flaws of beauty.
I think she lives.
If you fight her she jumps to her unseen "death", which usually means the character survives.
If you convince her to see the light, she says she will confront Corypheus, but I doubt this meeting takes place. Corypheus simply strolled into the main chamber as if he had no care in the world. He was genuinely surprised by seeing the Inquisitor standing in the Well of Sorrows. Which means he did not run into Calpernia, who would have cussed him out and revealed that the Inquisitor told her about the binding. If that had happened he would have rushed to the Well of Sorrows and he would have had a look of urgency when entering the room.
I think there is a very strong chance she survives and we will see her again next game, hopefully as a companion. The ex-slave heart of steel but treats her servants well, even non mages, and wants to see them raised to full citizenship of the Imperium, would be a nice counterpoint to our current noble warm hearted Tevinter mage who sees slavery as an alternative to poverty.
If she jumps to her death, you don't see her land. She leaps into a waterfall so could definitely have survived.
If you let her go, you never see the confrontation with Corypheus. May be it never happened because she had second thoughts about it; may be she was flattened but not killed outright and recovered; may be even Cory had a soft spot for her and so spared her in spite of her "failure" over the Well.
WoT2 definitely leaves it ambiguous and thus perfectly possible for her to return without it contradicting anyone's choices in the game. Even her name could change, since it is clear it is one that she took for herself rather than her birth name, so it would not be apparent immediately that it was her if they chose to make it that way (face damaged and restored or wearing a mask) and introduced by a totally different name.
I thought Calpernia was great, but wish there had been more of her. More back-story. More interaction. More something.
I released her in the end, and kept thinking I might get an update, or see her in the final battle, maybe get a War Table mission involving her. But nope, nothing. I hope that's not the end of her.
P.S. I want her armor.
If you speak to Leliana afterward she mentions that Calpernia's defection has dealt a serious blow to the Venatori's morale. This seems to indicate, at least to me, that she survived. How else would the Venatori know of her defection otherwise?

She was a little too young for my Inquisitor (who was about 44), but I think she is pretty in a plain way. I also like the fact that she doesn't wear makeup. That's an important point to consider when judging a woman's true beauty.
But I should also point out that she did have one lover. A slave fighter/guard by the name of Marius. He was sold to some other magister eventually, and his fate is unknown. She might still hold a flame in her heart for him.
Where was the stuff about Marius? It wasn't in WoT2.
