## In The Story

### The Words of the Winter

In the prologue, Celeste laments about how she was requested to attend Frost's Guidance by Crispin Everhart himself despite not taking the entrance exam seriously, as well as being given the Frostdreamer title despite having no dreams of her own. She believes herself to be the worst person to pick for the job, deciding it will be her one accomplishment. She answers Everhart's summons, and begrudgingly agrees to deliver a package to Hotaru Hinata.

During the events of Our Faults and the Awakening of Success, Celeste looks for Hotaru's laboratory, surprised to find a sign that appeared to be drawn by Burnet Stormshade right after she had sarcastically though about finding a sign. Realizing that it was a trick, she opens the door to find what isn't a lab and someone who isn't Hotaru. In fact, it was some kind of robot! While she is mumbling to herself, the robot activates and tries to encourage her, calling her pretty. She introduces herself as Valkyrie Combat System, explaining that she's an amnesiac soul inhabiting an android's body temporarily. Celeste introduces herself as well, and Valkyrie offers to take her to find Hotaru.

When they deliver the package, Hotaru suggests that Valkyrie goes back to Everhart's office with Celeste. When they return, Everhart asked Burnet to call his brother, Basil Stormshade, to the office as well. When the wolf creatura arrives, Everhart explains that he plans on putting them on a team together. Basil angrily berates Celeste and exclaims that he should have been made Frostdreamer. Celeste shuts him up so Everhart can explain. When they are dismissed, Celeste tones out Basil and bitterly continues walking to her dorm.

Celeste next appears in Chapter 3, Starting Out Is Messy, where she is sleeping before class starts and Valkyrie wakes her up. Celeste recognizes most of the Dreamseekers in the class, however a bat creatura she hadn't seen before enters with Pyrrhus Dawnblaze, who was the second choice for Frostdreamer, and Kayda Starshatter. The redhead settles next to Celeste in order to prevent Basil from making a fuss about the events that occurred in Daily Life of an Observer. Valkyrie is able to identify both Pyrrhus and Kayda by name, but also doesn't recognize the bat creatura.

Celeste is irritated when she realizes there are a lot of people coming to sit by them. However, she soon focuses on Burnet starting the lecture with attendance. When the wolf creatura reaches the name Noir Duskmoon, Celeste is confused as to why most of the other students begin freaking out, including Valkyrie. Two girls insist that Noir Duskmoon is dead. She looks over to the bat creatura who has put on a hoodie and is hiding in it.

While the chaos is occurring, Celeste notices Vian Sapphirus quickly slipping in, as well as Burnet's panic. She asks him to use his ability to quiet the class down, to which he agrees, bringing the attention of the room up to the row they were sitting in. Celeste harshly lectures the class for not allowing Burnet to explain the situation, calling them childish cowards. Burnet is finally able to continue on and explain that the bat creatura is Noir Duskmoon, and that he and Everhart are excited to have him joining this year.

Attendance hits another snag when Raymond Seidel appears to be absent. Ray suddenly enters the classroom, apologizing for being late and saying that he felt sick, causing his friends to comfort him. He tries to lie about his worse-for-wear condition, despite it being obvious. Celeste feels a bit bad for him.

After the role call is finished, Celeste thinks about how chaotic it was. However, she also begins to think that this may be worth it if she can find amusement from it.

Right after that, in Everything Has Its Purpose, Burnet explains a bit more about the Guardians, and asks the class to list some courses that are not useful in combat after saying they can be useful even without protecting or healing people. Celeste prepares to fight back in defense of the arts when Burnet calls on one of the girls who was making a fuss before. She insults Burnet once more and harshly questions what art has to do with the Guardians.

Both Pyrrhus and Celeste stand up to quiet the girl, Celeste nothing that the cat creatura was still angry about what she said before. Pyrrhus lists reasons why art can be helpful and Celeste backs him up, both reprimanding the doe creatura. Burnet bounces back from the anxious demeanor he had when the girl raised her voice at him and praises them.

Valkyrie tells Celeste that she was cool, and Celeste also notes Kayda and Noir seem impressed as well. She tunes out of the lecture, instead she decided to watch Ray and his friends, eventually dozing off and waking back up when the lecture was over.

When Burnet says that Everhart wants to Valkyrie, Basil, and Celeste, she is shocked that Basil doesn't blow up on his brother, anticipating his potential development.

Basil quickly drops this act in Inhale, Exhale. The World Isn't Yours, after Hotaru, Burnet, and Everhart officially form Team VNUS with Nina Bendette as their fourth and final member. Celeste runs into Pyrrhus as they leave and they have a small conversation where she invites him to hang out, putting her in a good mood.

This doesn't last long, however, as Basil can be heard blowing up at Nina. Celeste and Valkyrie rush to get there, to find Nina attempting to calm Basil down. He denies that he is entitled, and says that he will not hold back his anger when there is no staff around. Valkyrie attempts to stand up for Nina, but Celeste stops her, saying that it isn't worth it. She decides to give up, unofficially renouncing her title of Frostdreamer and insructing them to give her blazer and badge to Everhart so the title can be passed down to Pyrrhus. When Valkyrie tries to calm her down and give chase, Celeste snaps at her, but immediately feels guilty, causing her to hurry away.

Celeste ends up the rooftop where Ray, Kuno Aurich, Renata Dernbach, Rin Kusayanagi, and Tsubasa Amonogawa are hanging out, and asks them what it feels like to have a reason to keep living. After Ray shares his feelings, she recites a poem about her feelings that she made up on the spot, and fully explains the situation to them. Kuno offers encouragement, and Celeste considers that she acted a bit too rash in the moment. Deciding that she doesn't need one person to be her reason to live, but multiple, she accepts them as her friends and rushes off to find and apologize to Valkyrie.

### The Light of Self Love

Celeste has not yet appeared in The Light Of Self Love, but as this is Team VNUS's arc, she will appear.

## In Spin-Offs and AUs

### The Great OC Crossover Social Media Series Nobody Asked For

#### **Chatfic**

Celeste first appears in Chapter 8, The Lusty Dragon(Argonian) Spirit(Maid), under the username Starlightz, where she is added to the 'MATURE FUCKERS ONLY' chat by Anabraxis Flamedragon, implying that she at least knows him and Riyotsu Dalton. Scarlette Dalton asks if she is Xinnia Hargrave, to which she replies that she wishes she were evil and hated by everyone. She then gives a hurried explanation of her world, which causes Vale Cristalle to use proper grammar out of shock and question her about the omegaverse. Later on, she says that she is 18, as the social media series takes place a year or two later than the beginning of Bloody War. Zale Seaver adds her to the main group chat, where he is asked to explain her world in better detail, which she agrees to.

Celeste begins Chapter 9, Oh No, Interdimensional Twitter Exists, by changing her username to StardustWanderlust. She then explains that many people from her class at Frost's Guidance are on Interdimensional Twitter. She then states she feels bad for Everhart because he is getting old and mostly has to manage the official Frost's Guidance page by himself. She admits that he grew on her, which causes Anabraxis to call her sentimental.

Chapter 11, Pining Intervention, continues the events of Frost's Gaydence Adventures, chapter 9 of the twitterfic. Celeste adds Pyrrhus, Noir, Kayda, Vian, Kuno, Renata, Ray, Rin, and Tsubasa into the chat to help Ikuma Mochizuki hold an intervention for Ray and Tsubasa to stop ignoring their feelings for each other. She then refuses to let Ray leave the chat, adding him back in after he leaves.

In Chapter 12, The Squad Gets Raided, Celeste and Valkyrie's bot joins a new world's group chat, adding Celeste, Valkyrie, and Team PSSN to it. She then posts a 'callout' for Basil. She then realizes that this was not Basil's group chat. Valkyrie explains that it was meant for spying on the Ichor of the Wild among others. After Noir complains about Basil stealing his food, Pyrrhus then gets mad because he drew his own blood to use in making them. Avi Rodriquez questions them, and Noir explains that he has some vampiric attributes. Vian questions Pyrrhus on why he didn't get blood from a butcher, which causes him to call himself an idiot. Celeste laughs at him, and then says she thinks the bot needs more testing, to which Aric Tsumori sarcastically says 'you think?' She then tells them to hit her up if they want to be added to 'a fun group chat' before the bot removes them all as well as Avi.

#### **Twitterfic**

Celeste's is @stardustgalaxy on Interdimensional Twitter. She doesn't appear in the third segment, Chromé Saves The Day, but Chromé Lavigne does tag her when he's asking people to private or block Tilanya Avalon. Her first real appearance is in the eighth segment, The Great Breeding Kink Scandal. She replies to Burnet's third tweet and says that Burnet finally logged back on to Interdimensional Twitter, but he was presented with the chaos that Iwaaki Kasai caused.

Frost's Gaydence Adventures is mostly in her point of view, and it reveals she is an admin of the group chat. When Ray says he doesn't feel very well, she jokes about it being a race to see whether Annette Andringa, Pyrrhus, or Tsubasa would drag him to the infirmary. When Nina asks if she will place bets on it again, she says she won't. When Mars Voclain posts a picture of a disgusted-looking Percy Reindhardt, she responds with 'lmao'. When Tsubasa finally decides to take Ray to the medics, she makes a joke about them being in love with each other, and sends a picture of 'U R MR GAY', a meme from Super Mario Galaxy. Rin responds with a meme listing reasons why a user is reporting a photo on Facebook, with the option 'I'm in this photo and I don't like it' highlighted. She then tags Pyrrhus, Noir, Kayda, Mars, and Pluto Nightshade, saying that Ray and Tsubasa need to take a page from their 'resident breeding kink havers' books'. Ray responds with a photo of himself edited to look as if he's saying 'Hey! Go fuck yourself!"

Celeste asks who made it, and Ray responds with 'Damiano Terranova from SeaSanc'. Celeste then lists off the abbreviations for all the academies, and questions what the fallen academy in Draussentier was called. Basil tells her it was called Desert's Instincts Academy, and she thanks him with an insult. She then says that he has gotten better, but he 'still gets to a bitch boy because [he's] still kind of one' to which Basil agrees that it is fair. She then says that she hopes some of the fallen academies get built back up again.

When Adette Lichtenburg tells them to go to sleep, Celeste removes her, but then states she is about to pass out. The next morning, Tsubasa asks her about other worlds. She sends a screenshot from X-Cord, and corrects Vian when he misreads Pretty Cure as 'pretty cute', before mentioning the matchmaker's group chat. When Ray seems to panic and makes an excuse to log off, Celeste says that she also needs to go.

Afterwards, she and Ebony ask Emi and Zale to talk to Ikuma about letting her and some friends into the chat, where she reveals Valkyrie is her girlfriend.
