## Biography

### Early Life

Celesta was born in a community in the forest called Timberholme just a few miles away from Lycia and Arcadia. Her father Cederick Mynt was from Arcadia, and her mother Qileth was from Timberholme, and they ran away Timberholme to escape the tensions of Arcadia and Lycia. As a child, Celesta always had a natural affinity for turning into animals.

Celesta's parents went on numerous missions for the gods they worshipped, leaving Celesta to be raised by a gaggle of aunts, since her mother was a middle sister of 20 sisters. Her youngest aunt, Lorieth, became a mentor figure to her.

Three years before the events of the story, Cederick was killed by Lycian agents, and Qileth disappeared without a word to Celesta. Shortly afterward, Silvanus began communicating with Celesta since Qileth had been his previous champion. Celesta also grew close to her aunt Lorieth.

One night, a mysterious entity sends a dream to Celesta, warning her of a vampire with a "star map on his back," as he is the one who killed Celesta's mother. She tells her aunts of this dream, but steals away in the night to go to Lycia to fight this vampire herself. However, upon encountering Bronwyn Ironkeg and learning of her mission to end the war, Celesta also pledged her allegiance to Bronwyn's cause. She begins working with Xiao Liang. Celesta continues to receive random dream omens from Silvanus and the mysterious entity. She also mentions seeing Raeyi in these dreams ever since she began working with Liang.

### Post War

Celesta, at some point, mentored JR Charpentier at the beginning of his training, but he branched out once he'd learned the basics of elemental magic and shapeshifting. He ended up joining the Circle of the Land rather than the Circle of Dreams.
