History: Celeste was born to the hard streets of Relgoth, the corrupted
city located within the Blue Wastes.
Her parents she never knew as her father and mother were slew by
Dark Knights soon after the Blue found out of this Solamnic Knight spy amidst his territory.
However, the child that resulted from Sir Owen, Knight of the Rose
and his fair partner, Raellaenia, lived on.
She was taken by the Dark Knights after the murder of her parents
and brought up to become part of that dark army. For all these
years, she has been one to believe the lies that the Knights of
Takhisis have fed her, she has believed that it was Solamnics that
killed her parents instead of the "proud" and "honorable" Knights of Takhisis.
She was a mere squire for a time, but soon enough her other skills
began to show through. She was assigned to a man known only as
'Blackblade', through him she was to learn the subtle ways of a
spy and would soon become what the Dark Knights had seen in her.
She stayed with him for six years, up until the age of fifteen.
Looking back on it now, he seemed to be the only father figure
in her life and although he was often-times strict with her, it
seemed as though he treated her as though she were a daughter to him.
He really didn't share the views that she had seen instilled in
other dark knights either, he seemed almost to despise the knights
as they had "fallen from grace" as Blackblade once put it. Soon
came the time for her training period to end and his final gift
to the one that he called 'daughter' was a silver medallion with an onyx gem in the middle.
She left the next day, back to Relgoth and those that she hadn't seen for so long.
She came back to Relgoth, seemingly with much more guile and cunning,
but also with the confidence in herself that she had a decision
in what she would do with her life.
She was ready to continue the last of her training to become a true
Knight of Takhisis, which was still a few years off. However, within
days, her world was shattered and that around her was broken.
She got word of the execution of Blackblade from Neraka. This shook
the very foundations of that which she knew, such as it was that
he was the one who shaped her beliefs and strong will.
She was deemed unfit for duty for the few days afterward and soon
began having these strange dreams.
She dreamt of a noble knight from the lands of Solamnia and an elven
woman that must have come from the green forests of Qualinesti.
She does not remember what she saw exactly in those dreams, but
suddenly it seemed that the veil of lies that the dark knights had
draped upon her had been torn from her and allowed her to see the light of truth.
Within that week, the Heroes of the Heart soon arrived to save those
that were doomed to become dragonspawn. They shattered the fortress
known as the Bastion of Darkness and with that Celeste saw that
her place was not among these foul knights, so she left.
Fleeing to the south over the sands of the wastes, she arrived in
Solamnia with the help of the desert barbarians that she had encountered.
At the age of seventeen, she stayed in Solanthus with Sir Arkhel,
an aged Knight of the Rose. He took her in after hearing of her
story and has been thus far hoping to convince her to start on the
road to becoming a Solamnic Knight.
She is truly grateful for the generosity that he has shown her,
and hopes to repay him someday, but the life of a knight is not what she wishes for.
She went south into Abanasinia and joined with the Legion of Steel,
apprenticing to Lady Azshara Kiljaril of the Citadel of Light.
These two may commonly be found on the Citadel grounds, or in the
town of Schallsea. At the Citadel they stay usually, Lady Azshara
stays has decided to take Celeste here so that she may learn of
the art of mysticism in a better learning environment, also because
it isn't such a bad place to stay at either!
Game Statistics: Mysticism~ One sphere, Alteration Acute Senses~ Sight & Hearing Celeste automatically gains a trump bonus on all PE actions that involve sight or hearing.
Appearance: Celeste has a quarter of elven blood in her and thus has slightly pointed ears, not very, but they are noticeable. She has long red hair, usually keeping it up on all but formal occasions and stands at 5'". Celeste's facial features are considered quite attractive by most, with a small pert nose and large blue eyes. She tends to keep herself in fit condition, never forgetting the training that she had through the dark knights, and looks to be around 19.
