Celeste

**Celeste** is Navi’s talking guide cat from Taurus and one of the six main characters in *Spylights*. She has been with Navi since the beginning and will be with her until the end. Although she appears rather lazy and laid back, similar to regular cats, Celeste is wise beyond her years and knows much more than she is letting on.

## History

With very little intelligent life available on Taurus, that is to say, aside from the humanoid Zodiacians, the Callisto family further domesticated cats, teaching them how to speak and develop a brain capacity very similar to a humans. Thus, the idea of Guide Cats was established and every Taurisian is gifted a Guide Cat the day they enter the world to assist them all their life.

Celeste was given to Navi Callisto the day Navi came to life as her Guide Cat. The process of deciding which cat goes to which spy is unknown. There was some very crucial information about the young girl that Celeste was given the day Navi was born that she was told to never disclose to her. A promise that Celeste has kept to this day, despite it going against her moral judgement. But to say that Celeste has helped Navi would be an understatement. Navi's closest companion both figuratively and literally, Celeste has gotten Navi out of more than one sticky situation. Due to being bound to her for life, Celeste understands Navi on a very deep level given that their brains are connected. Because of this, she is supportive of Navi through most things despite Navi's more unconventional means of solving problems and accomplishing missions. She knows Navi means well and is very protective of her for this reason, a trait that Navi appreciates immensely.

## Personality

Although Celeste is a very intelligent creature, she doesn’t like to show it off. Instead, she’d rather sit on Navi’s bed and contemplate things only she could ever really understand. But with some help from Link and Navi, Celeste’s best attributes shine some light on the most desperate of situations. Despite her laziness, Celeste is caring and loyal and is never afraid to be the voice of reason. Celeste is aware of her own intelligence and she utilizes it in helping Link or Navi with any problems they have.

She knows information about Navi and Link that she has been specifically told never to disclose to them, or else suffer serious consequences. This has proved to be morally trying for Celeste who believes that Navi has a right/needs to know. On the other hand, however, she understands the dangers of Navi knowing things she should not and thus has held her tongue for all these years.

Celeste's loyalties lie with Navi and Navi alone. Anyone Navi trusts, Celeste will too, even if it takes her longer to do so. She has more than once helped Navi out of a bad situation and her patience with the super spy is unmatched by anyone except perhaps, Link. That being said, she will try to talk Navi out of some of her more spontaneous plans if she truly believes them to be detrimental to Navi's well-being, such as trying to talk her out of going to the planet Sirius to adopt a dog. Though, of course, it could have been just for selfish reasons since she does not like dogs.

## Appearance

Celeste is a black cat with green eyes. She's relatively small compared to other Guide Cats, fitting perfectly on Navi's shoulder and being able to hide beneath Navi's hair when necessary. She prefers to perch on top of Navi or Link's shoulders for his reason.

There is another, more intense form that Celeste and all other Guide Cats like her can take if they are provoked or if the situation is dire enough to warrant it. However, Celeste, with whom this is a very touchy subject, keeps herself calm and collected for the reason of keeping this side of her undercover.

## Relationships

### Navi Callisto

Celeste and Navi have quite the history with Celeste being bound with Navi the day the super spy was born. Since then, Navi considers Celeste one of her closest companions. Like most people in Navi’s life, Celeste can get irritated when Navi refuses to listen. But in the end she knows that Navi will do the right thing. She cares about her and always tries to cheer her up when things get rough. One of Navi's main support systems, Celeste can understand Navi on a deeper level than other beings since they are connected. In her own little way, she takes care of, making it all the more difficult for her to keep the promise that she made all those years ago. Ultimately though, she understands that it is for Navi's well-being that it remain a secret to her.

Navi shares everything with Celeste, and even the feelings that she does not voice, Celeste detects them anyway. This can prove to be frustrating for Navi particularly when Celeste tries to get her to admit things she does not want to or otherwise teases her about them. It is a testament to the strength of their relationship that Navi is an open book with her.

### Link Cornell

Although Link was freaked out by Celeste at first, he eventually comes to recognize how intelligent and loyal she is. Like Navi, Link often goes to Celeste for advice. Since she is really the only other being on Earth that understands Navi’s frustrating mannerisms, he trusts Celeste and always appreciates the help she offers. Celeste sees Link as a genuine person who is inherently kind, a rare find in a universe full of mystery. She believes that Link is good for Navi, and is likely to help even her out as they spend more time together. The two are very similar in temperament, making them the perfect companions for Navi. Link finds a lot of comfort in Celeste's level-headedness and her ability to deter Navi from doing certain things, especially when nobody else can.

Because of this, Link will turn to Celeste for advice on how to deal with Navi or otherwise look to her for support in particularly stressful Navi-related situations. There is an unspoken comradery between the two of them that is likely to grow stronger as time goes on due to their similar way of thinking.
