Basic Information
Bloodline Ability
Celeste's bloodline has not yet fully revealed itself, but her family now knows for certain that arrows are part of it.
Physical Description
At five, Celeste is a slender, poised child whose Shadowtitan heritage presents identically to her twin's at a glance: soft, even lavender skin that catches light with a faint luminous quality, thick white hair, and fine silver-white freckle-like markings across her cheeks and nose. The resemblance ends there. Her hair is always styled with care, most often in a long braided ponytail, sometimes with smaller plaits framing her face or a silver clip pinned above one ear. She dresses to look the part of a young princess of Goodberry, favoring elegant gowns in midnight blue with silver embroidery, and she stands and sits with a straight-backed composure she has clearly studied. Her pointed ears tilt slightly when she is curious or concentrating. Lately the fingertips of her right hand are often red, or neatly wrapped, from the bowstring.
Celeste still goes very still and very quiet when she is thinking hard about something, which gives her the air of a child much older than five. She holds books with both hands and turns pages with deliberate care, and she can sit through an entire musical performance without fidgeting once, then hum the melody back perfectly afterward. She speaks Common, Elvish, and Draconic, and where she once switched languages mid-sentence without noticing, she now does it on purpose, usually to say something she would prefer Seylah not understand. Her silver freckle-markings seem slightly more pronounced in low light, as though faintly luminescent, and they brighten a little whenever she draws a bow.
