Celia

Celia is a survivor of the post-Change world and lives in the tunnels under The Magnus Institute. She follows Melanie King and Georgie Barker as a member of the post-Change cult, but respects their wishes to not be called saviours. Prior to the Change, she was known as Lynne Hammond and would experience regular nightly visits by a flaming ghost woman before she moved to a different flat.
== History ==
Prior to the Change, Celia was known as Lynne Hammond and lived in a flat in Clapton in 2016. While living there, she would be regularly woken up at night by the smell of smoke. This happened a number of times before she began to ignore it, at which point she started seeing the flaming ghost of a young woman. The ghost would only appear briefly, and Hammond would simply go back to sleep. As the visits continued the ghost woman would reach out to Hammond, and at one point was able to singe some hair off her arm. Hammond moved out of the flat shortly after and did not see the ghost woman again.
In 2017, Lynne Hammond contacted The Magnus Institute on the advice of a friend, assuming she would receive financial compensation for sharing her experience. She gave her statement to Martin Blackwood.
Sometime after the Change, Lynne Hammond fell victim to a Domain that took her name from her. Upon being rescued by Melanie and Georgie, she gave herself the new name Celia and joined the cult that had formed around them. Celia seems to believe that Melanie and Georgie have the power to save the world, but does not have the same level of fanaticism toward them as some other members of the cult and is respectful of their aversion to religious terms.
Celia is a curious woman who seems interested in connecting with other survivors, and who is often nervous about her surroundings. When John and Martin arrive at the tunnels, Celia asks them what Domain they had been trapped in before being rescued. She is friendly with Laverne.
Despite giving a statement to Martin before the Change, she does not seem to remember him. It is unclear how much of her memory she retained since being rescued from the Domain that had trapped her.
