== Personal Life ==
Celeste is the daughter of a ministry official, which might explain why she tends to dress slightly more formally day-to-day.  She was born and raised in the London area, at least as far as she knows. She was the product of an affair and yet, because of how things worked out, she’s lived with her father for as long as she can remember. Her father had his warmer moments towards her but was usually busy while her stepmom only saw her as a reminder of the affair. She knows nothing about her birth mother and b/c of the mystery surrounding her birth, along with the fact that there's something about her that's 'different' about her (but hard to put your finger on), she was under a lot of scrutiny growing up. She was slow to make connections with others and kept to herself. However, she was inquisitive and would pull pranks that would, unintentionally, bordered on dangerous, because she didn't seem to understand it was bad. She spent most of her time reading or watching the stars by herself. When she turned 11, she enrolled at Hogwarts and was sorted into Ravenclaw. Initially, she had a bit of a hard time with kids who knew her history, particularly ministry kids. Through her school years she learned to open up to others, made friends and was known for pulling the occasional prank (at least only the ones she got caught for). She came to deeply respect one of her teachers in particular who was always there for her and helped her. They became her inspiration for her wanting to become a teacher herself, so she could share her knowledge and help students. Shortly after graduating, however, Celeste disappeared without a trace for 2 years, before reappearing just as suddenly and taking a position at Hogwarts. She either can't or won't talk about what happened during that time, saying it was for 'personal business.'
=== Personality ===
While at first glance Celeste looks to be quiet and reserved, she has a gentle heart. She’s passionate and interested in how people are doing and will go to any lengths to help someone. She is a dreamer that maintains some of her youthful nature. She also has a rather sarcastic and/or sassy side. She’s 50/50 torn between exasperation at student’s shenanigans or fighting to keep herself from laughing to not encourage them.
