Final Fantasy
Celes's strong will, determination, and even temper make her one of the series's "strong, serious female" characters in the series. She was preceded by Rydia (as an adult) from "Final Fantasy IV", and Faris Scherwiz from "Final Fantasy V", and is succeeded by Tifa Lockhart from "Final Fantasy VII", Quistis Trepe from "Final Fantasy VIII", Freya Crescent from "Final Fantasy IX", Lulu from "Final Fantasy X", Fran from "Final Fantasy XII", Oerba Yun Fang from "Final Fantasy XIII", and Aranea Highwind from "Final Fantasy XV" (though the latter was merely a guest character, she nonetheless came the closest to filling the role).
