She is best friends with Lillian Rezza, Eleanor Harris, and Amberly Wise. She is currently in a relationship with Zachary Pierce. When Seana came back to Seaside in 2012, she led her friends in finally defeating her, almost at the cost of her own life. When she joined the Hathaway coven at 18, she followed in her father's footsteps and became an enforcer. However, she has shown to be very conflicted with the coven's actions, most of the time going against her own family for what she sees as the right thing to do. Especially when her cousin Elle was taken by Seana. After graduating high school in 2013, she went to Redmond University with her friends to study game design. 
Celesta is a member of the Moone Family and Hathaway Family, as well as a descendant from her biological grandmother Lydia. She is also a descendant of the Archer Family. 
== Early History==
Celesta Marie Moone was born on March 18, 1995, to Miranda Hathaway and Jeff Moone. She was also born on the same day as her best friend Lily Reza. Growing up, she was taught magic under the tutelage of her father, who was very skilled in magic. With his teachings, she had profound knowledge about magic. She became close friends with Amberly Wisen and Eleanor Harris as well with Lily growing up, all of them being cousins. Out of the group, she was the tomboy. Sometime in 2005, she attended Redwood Academy, a middle school in Seaside, California, along with her other friends. She later went to Franklin High School, where she is currently attending in the beginning of Darkness Descending.

==Appearance==
Celesta is described as having an athletic build, standing at 5'8". She always wears jeans and T-shirts, generally having a tomboy sense of style throughout most of the series. She has nearly waist-length dark brown hair, that is wavy. Her eyes are described as being shockingly blue, almost like two sapphires. Zachary described her as being one of the most beautiful girls he had ever seen.
==Personality==
Celesta is headstrong, upfront, brash, and not afraid to speak her mind. A tough as nails, no-nonsense witch, she believes in doing whatever is right to uphold justice. She also has a sarcastic sense of humor, something she has in common with most of her friends. She showed no fear in saving her friends when their lives were in danger, and she is a natural leader at heart always being assertive and taking lead when the time calls for it. However she is not adverse to feeling fear. As the first time she and Zach were almost killed in a fight with two vampires, Cel, feeling like she was going to die started to have a panic attack and felt completely defeated. Though she quickly started to manage this so it wouldn't happen again. When she met Zachary however, she was instantly obsessed with him and almost became clingy and at times would forget what she was doing in the first place. But her love matured and the two grew to have a very loving relationship. But they often would butt heads over situations. Celesta is also shown to carry deep resentment towards anyone who harmed those she cares about or who she perceives at a threat and has no trouble in threatening or speaking her mind even in deadly situations. It can be considered her fatal flaw. 
==Abilities==
Celesta has all the standard powers of a witch. Descended from the Hathaway Family, she is a very powerful witch. Growing up under the tutelage of her father, she was very proficient in using magic, even before she tapped into her power, she held vast knowledge of spells. Also, from her maternal grandfather's side, she is a quarter hunter, though those abilities are not as potent as a full hunter. Despite that, she has shown above-average strength than a regular human/witch which also allowed her to channel more magic easily. She also inherited all of her ancestor Claire's magic, making her one of the strongest witches in history.
