Appearance[]
Celeste is a brown haired woman with her hair up with a white hairband that ends in a red-violet ball and a longer bang of hair on her right side, and when letting her hair down, it reaches to just halfway the shoulder blades. She looks a bit more older than her own age, helping to her own image as older sister character while the most striking feature of Celeste is her prosthetic mechanical arm with three long fingers.
Her prosthetic arm has a little bit of reinforcement on top of the radius and ulna of her arm from where she can extend a hidden dagger to fight with, while using the reinforcement at the same time as a make-shift shield for close combat.
Personality[]
Without a doubt, Celeste has probably one of the most diverse personality that can be found without having a split personality. She appears to change from a wise doctor to that of an innocent maiden, back to that of a big sister, reverting to a female with the spirit and youthfulness of a young girl and the knowledge of a mature woman.
One of the more noticeable traits of Celeste is that she can be rather unpredictable, as it is rather difficult, if not impossible to discern her thoughts or motives at times. Despite her personality having different ways of revealing themselves, the one thing that has never changed in her is the philosophy’s that she lives her life by. While most may think them to be rather trivial, there is one that stands out the most, and serves as probably the most characteristic piece of who she is. Celeste her believe in the philosophy that the only thing that is actually worth risking one’s life is "one's legacy", a belief that was passed down by her rehabilitator. She believes that no matter what happens, so long as something of her exists that would be capable of defining some of her deeds or something that is capable of resembling her, she can never be truly defeated since she will be remembered for her deeds and hopefully also for who she was as a person. Perhaps an extension of this belief is derived from the promise that she had made in the past. She had promised to never allow her past to control her, living not only for herself, but also for those she lost the moment that she put the sentinel mask on her face.
In addition to Celeste's great trust in the power of one's legacy, she also has a rather deep understanding of the power of love. She possesses incredible insight on people, often knowing if they are troubled or hiding something.
Celeste seems to be proud of her own power, but unlike one would expect with that pride, she seemingly possesses no physical signs of arrogance or overconfidence. Celeste’s almost immature and free-spirited personality masks her sage-like and experienced attitude, revealing those parts of her when the situation demands it.
Celeste is prone to think several steps ahead when facing opponents and giving her a remarkable (almost annoying) talent for strategic fights that help her to defeat even opponents that have more brute power than what she has. However, while these traits do have a place in her real personality, much of her outward persona can perhaps be considered an intentional facade perfectly designed to cause those unfamiliar with her to underestimate her knowledge and ability. At the core, she is a remarkably devoted protector whose primary focus and personal duty is to her friends and family ( even if they most likely will never know of the protection she gave them). Though she hides it well behind a veil of kindness and helping, Celeste is still a young maiden at heart after all, despite how she may act at times...
History[]
Magic & Abilites[]
Physical Prowess[]
- Immense strength: As Celeste didn’t want to rely on just her mental fortitude, she used a part of her own magic source to suppress the chaos of her mask. What this also meant was that in response to that, she had to train her physical strength in order to make up for the lack of magical strength. By forcing herself every day to train with bags of rocks on the barbells for weightlifting, running with animals swimming against streams, climbing mountains and fighting against several animals her physical strength gradually grew to the point of lifting rocks four times the size of her self, and still throwing them with enough force to destroy a part of a castle wall through the sheer force of it with nothing but her physical strength.
- Monstrous Endurance & Stamina: Thanks to all the training Celeste has done, her stamina improved tremendously, which generally helps with how much she relies on the physical parts of a fight instead of the magical parts like most mages do. Where-as normal mages generally eschew the physical part in order to become stronger in the magical part, Celeste chose for the reversed path, improving her physical more. As she went down that route, she was turning into a physical monster with regards to how much she could output regarding the stamina and also regarding the amount of damage she can take before going down. As her stamina is greater by a great marge when compared to a normal mage, it allowed her to use more attacks and higher speeds without becoming tired or opening herself up for openings. While there are a few exceptions to that, it is mostly tied to her use of a partial transformation with Suzaku. What should be remembered however is that unlike most take-over users, she doesn’t get as exhausted or strained thanks to her previous trainings. One of the best examples for her stamina can be found in her match against Naoto where she managed to keep on fighting without getting visibly fatiqued.
- Immense Durability: Thanks to how she trained her body, Celeste's body gained an impressive durability. Whenever she used weights for her strength or endurance, her body would have to withstand the pressure that the weight would exert on her body after all, not to mention the pressure of waterfalls whenever she would sit in a waterfall. At the start, she would use a single carrying pole with the added weight of water and food for her durability training, she had to struggle at the beginning since she had to use her strength in a different manner as she previously trained with simply lifting weights, running, climbing and more. As she got stronger and more durable thanks to her slowly combining the different trainings, she added another carrying pole so that she would have one pole for each shoulder, allowing her more space for water and normal weight training. Noticing the bulk she started to build thanks to her weight training, she began to change the durability training a bit so that she would be more toned instead of bulky without losing out on the durability she trained for. An added benefit of her training (besides the increased bone density) in several climates during her travels was that she could withstand several temperature changes a lot easier so that she could fight just as well in a desert as in an arctic environment if you look at it purely from the temperatures.
- Impressive Speed: Probably as an example from her training to get stronger, Celeste posesses an impressive speed, capable of keeping up with many animals and vehicles as well as evading obstacles in different parcour settings. As she generally had to rely on her own strength and speed to catch her own food when out in the wild, she was forced to improve or starve after all. After getting enough strength to not only kill her prey with her bare hands, she kept working on increasing the speed until she was quick enough to leave behind an after image whenever she got serious in the fight or hunt for a specific target.
- Impressive Insight: Even though Celeste can appear to be laid back and lazy, she has shown to be more perceptive and detail oriented then one would expect both inside of a fight and outside of a fight. Inside fights, she seems to have an uncanny knack for figuring out the type of magic and how to cancel out its energy output by releasing or altering the energy around it in different ways. One of the ways she manages to accomplish this, outside of just seeing the attack is in how her opponents behave, as well as how their body responds. If the movement is unconscious or an ingrained reflex, the body usually moves a bit different in comparison to conscious movement. Thanks to her high intellect, which is seen in how quick she manages to pick up the different jobs and studies, she can even think up how to solve different problems at the same time within a moment’s notice, a trait that has helped her while working in hospitals as well whenever she had to fight of opponents. A different example of that can be found in how resourceful she is at times, using even the smallest things from her surroundings that can aid in either beating or stopping fights and opponents. Thanks to both her utilization of the surroundings as well as her attention to detail, she can figure out the mechanics behind several techniques by first observing the basic moves of it followed by the more advanced moves that are used in combination with it, helping her in figuring out how they flow from one move to another and eventually seeing the potential different possibilities that can come from mastering that path. Thanks to that, she managed to pick up the different styles that quickly, allowing her to expend her repertoire quickly even though she hardly ever mastered any of those martial arts styles.
- General hand to hand skill: It is possibly because of that, that whenever Celeste fights in a physical fight, the techniques she utilizes are so fluid that it can be likened more to movement instead of fighting styles. Since one of her first teachers would make her practice the basics even outside of the lessons, Celeste continued that practice even after leaving them. Whenever learning new styles, she would try to integrate them in her daily life so that it would not just become second nature to use in fights, but also in her everyday life. A simple application of kouho haiho for example can help with avoiding collisions when working in busy areas, in turn ensuring she can keep momentum without hindering anyone during work, but it can also be used to catch her opponents off guard and knock them down. Sure, Celeste might have a lot of strength but that is probably not the scariest part of her strength but rather in how she manages to integrate the soft martial arts that have a focus on guiding and directing in everything she does. The thing that most people often assume because of that is that she has a talent for the different martial arts styles that can be found, which is an incorrect idea as it is more thanks to her talents in the medical field and perception then actually talent.
- Martial Arts Mastery: As Celeste practiced a lot of martial arts in the past, Celeste can be considered as a master of martial arts thanks to the muscle memory that comes with all the practice from the different teachers. Thanks to the numerous sub-categories of martial arts that she practiced with, she manages to switch between the different styles seamlessly, confusing the opponent as they can’t figure out which style she is using. Acting on her own preference for counters and tiring out the opponent, instead of straight of offensive fighting, Celeste normally uses the grips and locks found in certain martial arts when possible in addition to redirection counters in order to deal the most amount of damage back through the added momentum of a counter. When that is not a plausible option for the situation at hand, she can always switch to a different style. However, one of the biggest mistakes opponents usually make when seeing her fight is that they think that her attacks are either limited solely through physical force or magical force, as they can even be used for something soft like redirecting an opponent, followed by a simple disarming or a lock by aiming for the pressure points that are needed.
- It should go without saying that punching is one of the most basic things one can do in and outside of martial arts. And as one would quickly pick up whenever learning anything about the different styles, there are multiple ways of punching others just as there are multiple ways of actually striking at others. While everyone can simply bald up their hands to throw a punch, the difference between a martial artist and someone who doesn’t practice the martial arts is that the martial artist will punch with a certain control and intent, where-as the latter one just punches with strength. With the proper technique, one could even rupture organs or break the bones in such a way that the organs get pierced without the victim noticing it at first until it is too late. It should come as no surprise to anyone then that depending on how the arm and hand is placed, the punch itself can have different effects. For example, by keeping the fingers tight to each other similar to a knife, one can utilize a so called knife strike with their hand. The goal for this kind of punch is not to stab, but to cut similar to how one would cut with a knife. This is not to say that one would not be able to stab, but most martial artist fighters use it for a cutting attack instead of a stabbing one.
- Kicks are no exception to one of the basic things in and outside of the different martial arts. As certain martial arts have the philosophy that you can do the same things with your feet as your hands like jiujutsu, by altering your center of gravity a bit, you can essentially do the same techniques as when punching. By using the side of your feet, you can essentially use a knife strike with the feet instead of your hands, allowing more freedom in how one essentially fights and making it harder to restrain since both the arms and legs have to be restrained.
- Normal Magical Power: While she technically has a rather immense amount of magic at her disposal, most of it is used keeping her partial transformation active at all time, ensuring she looks like a normal human, with the exception of her prosthetic arm, at all time as well as containing and controlling the chaos through her own magical power instead of will power. As the mask increased the flow of etherano that enters her body for refilling the magical container inside the body of each mage, she generally has no problems with the amount at her disposal for most things that she works with. One of the benefits for her reduced amount of available magical power is that it got her to fine-tune not only her control of the etherano she uses but also fine-tune her control regarding the environmental etherano where necessary as she had to reduce the wasted etherano if she wanted to keep up with other mages that could pose a potential problem. Where-as in most cases, the reduced available amount of etherano would be detrimental to a mage, it forced Celeste into such a precise control that she essentially could remove a lot of potentially wasted etherano, in turn getting access to more spells. As an added side-effect, people generally seem to think that Celeste has a high amount of available magic power with how much magic she can utilize where-as it is mostly thanks to her high control of the magical particles. As to why she rarely uses the full potential of her magical power, it is mainly out of fear that people will see her as the monster of zeref whenever they would see her with mask and there-for avoid or attack her so Celeste just prefers to avoid that with her current solutions.
- Poison resistance: Possibly thanks to a combination of her experience with poisons, antidotes and the natural protection her mask gives her against poison. Celeste got a pretty high resistance against poison which borders on an immunity. As she got curious to how strong that resistance actually was she got from her mask, she began injecting herself with poisons to see what kind of effect it would have on her. Obviously, she held the anti-dote close by in case the poison would be too strong for her resistance to handle. She went through the different available poisons and anti-dotes and she gradually discovered that her body was getting resistant towards poisoning in general since she was able to breathe without a problem in a cloud of her own smoke bombs. Since each of her smoke bombs already have 300 ppm of monoxide at the bare minimum, it is an impressive testament to her resistance as that amount of monoxide is 9 times the amount to make a normal person sick.
- Expert medical skills: Thanks to her experiences and knowledge in the medical field, Celeste became rather good in that field. Using her herbal knowledge, she first started helping with simple things like healing broths that are used regarding sickness or herbs that help with recovering quicker. As she worked with those simple things, she began studying human anatomy so that she was also allowed to help in hospitals.
Magical Abilities[]
Take Over
Take-over is her favored style of magic, although also the one with which she has had the most backlash in the beginning. It allows her in essence to take on the appearance and powers of other beings, not only boosting her chances to quickly adapt to the situation, but also giving her an excuse to practice different martial arts styles as she would call it. Her most common take-over resembles an armed robot, mostly to enhance her strength, and defense, although she herself stated that it is partially due to how she looks in the take-over which is also how she got the nickname of the blood-red knight.
Aside from having an incredible amount of experience with it, Celeste is also knowledgeable enough about take-over to know most of the secrets that a take-over can bring with them, which also allows her to figure out not only the purpose but also the power a take-over has whenever an opponent uses a transformation against her.
Jizuri Jizuri, which is her most commonly seen take-over form allows her to take the form of a red knight, owing to her nickname of the blood knight thanks to its appearance.
When starting this transformation, her entire body gets covered with a mix of scarlet red and jet black energy. The moment her body gets completely covered with the energy, it also starts to change her clothing in the red with yellow armor that this form is known for. As her clothing changes, her hair becomes longer, with more volume added to it. The moment her armor and hair finished, her head gets covered last by the helmet that almost covers her entire head.
Byakko  Michiyuki Byakko is Celeste's most powerful Take Over when it comes to defense.
It basically allows her to take on not only the appearance and abilities but also the powers of the king of beasts, Michiyuki Byakko.
Once the transformation is started, the spell changes Celeste's appearance drastically. Firstly, her entire skin becomes pitch black. Even the clothes she wears at that moment change their color, becoming just as black as the skin at that moment. As the clothing starts to twist around her, it becomes slowly more like a silvery metal shaped like a white armor with the shoulder pieces shaped like box shaped lion heads until it finally settles on the proper form and becomes a combination of silver and metal in coloration. Grey metallic markings appear to start surrounding her eyes, gradually covering the rest of her head in a helmet manner before settling in a mask that fits both perfectly while also removing any obstruction during the moving, breathing and looking.
Her body however receives the most notable changes. Besides the skin, her physique becomes more bulky, her muscles expand and become more well defined, bringing it closer in appearance to her ogre king then other forms. Her hands get covered in a protective glove of the same material that is covering the rest of her body. Her leg and feet gain the same change, although the part that sticks out the most regarding the legs is the added shield that is sticking out on the legs.
The ogre king  This spell exchanges her ever-so youthful appearance with a more grotesque one, vaguely reminiscent of that of an ogre. This form was obtained when Celeste fought the leader of an Ogre colony. The transformation enhances all her natural abilities several times, as well as giving her some new ones. The transformation-process gathers a massive wave of Magical energy, which drains the surrounding area. After the gathering of energy, her skin is covered by brown scales of Magic. In her new form, Celeste's pale skin color has been exchanged with a dark shade of brown. Her hair has become pure white and even become shorter, barely reaching below her shoulder blades. Two hornlike pieces of body seem to have grown out of her skull, annoying Celeste slightly since she preferred to be without horns. Both her irises, have become scarlet red and her pupils constantly appears to be elipsed. Two black, scar-like marks appears under one eye each, mimicking the appearance of tears. While the change isn't extremely radical compared to other users of Take Over, this form's strength is worlds apart from her human form.
The harpy queen   This spell allows her to change to a harpy queen. Once started, Celeste's entire skin becomes pitch black during the transformation. Even her clothes become black as the night. Her hair lengthens to below her shoulder blades, appearing wilder, the color of it becoming a dirty purple with two small jet black horns. While her mouth remains the same, her teeth become sharper. The eyes themselves also change with the sclera turning completely black, the eye itself becoming amber. Her body however receives the most notable changes. As her skin starts to get a normal color back, it becomes more toned, her muscles less defined than normal. Her hands grow to claws, able to slash through various tough materials like rocks, steel and titanium to name a few examples. Her clothing attire consist of a black, bordering on gray, bodysuit with what seems like bones that protect her sides and back, although her shoulders and legs are kept bare. Her breasts are now more pronounced, with small metallic bones under them. From the wrist to her elbows, wings appear on the back of her arm with each of them big enough to cover her own body in both width as well as length. The boots that cover the talons on her feet are the combined work of the delicate and nuanced workmanship of a smith's utmost effort and a tailor making it comfortable to wear, succeeding in granting it an air of formidability and a fine construction, neither exquisite nor crude, and it instead perfectly melds magnificence and functionality.
Macha   This spell allows her to change to Macha. Once started, Celeste's entire skin becomes pure white during the transformation. Even her clothes become white as the snow. Her hair changes color to blue, appearing wilder. While her mouth remains the same, her teeth become sharper. The eyes themselves also change with the sclera turning ocean blue, the eye itself remaining white. Her right eye is covered with a black eye-patch, adorned with a skull that mostly serves to lengthen her battles. Her body however receives the most notable changes. As her skin starts to get a normal color back, it becomes more toned, her muscles more defined than normal. Her clothing attire consist of brown leather, bandages and some fur, although her shoulders and legs are kept bare.
As the transformation finishes, she raises her right hand to the sky to pull out her sword while speaking a single line; bow down to the queen of the amazons.

Requip
Although not really one of her best styles of magic, she does have enough experience with it to allow her access to her armors, weapons or tools, though she is not above using it simply for dressing up when in an hurry.
Equipment[]
  A dagger made of an unknown metal that seems to be unbreakable as it has been able to withstand the brute force that Celeste applies on it continuously during her fights while the sealing mechanism that keeps the dagger in place seems to break a lot easier.
The dagger itself appears to be a tactical combat dagger. The hilt of the dagger is hidden inside Celeste her prosthetic arm. The quillion, while being long enough to protect against bladed weapons, is a bit unusual in the fact that the right side of it has a point curved downwards similar to a demons claw where-as the left side has the point curved upwards. Since it is a full tang construction, the quillion has also added in a bolter pair reinforcement for a stronger construction. One of the decorations that can be seen whenever she pulls out the dagger is between both quillion, an ornate red beryl crafted in the construction in such a way as to make it appear like the dagger grew around the beryl instead of the beryl being added for decoration. The ricasso has a small part jutting out on both sides, transitioning into the bladed part, before it finally tapers to a spear point. As the bladed part is covered in inscriptions, whenever there is magic channeled through the material, the inscriptions start to glow pink, a few shades brighter then the red beryl between both quillion.
Nine Legion Masks For Celeste, her mask allows her not only to summon and control the sentinel Tribe and control how they use their Poison Magic but also obtained some of their resistance to poison in general.
