*Ceres is a personification of the dwarf planet Ceres.*

Ceres is the largest object in the asteroid belt that lies between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter, slightly closer to Mars's orbit. With a diameter of 945 km (587 mi), Ceres is the largest of the minor planets and the only dwarf planet inside Neptune's orbit. It is the 33rd-largest known body in the Solar System. It was discovered January 1, 1801 - at first being classified as an asteroid, but is now known as an "embryonic planet," which means it started to form but didn't quite finish.

Ceres' oblateness is consistent with a differentiated body, a rocky core overlain with an icy mantle.This 100-kilometer-thick mantle (23%–28% of Ceres by mass; 50% by volume) contains up to 200 million cubic kilometers of water, which would be more than the amount of fresh water on Earth. There are indications that Ceres has a tenuous water vapor atmosphere outgassing from water ice on the surface.

Ceres is named after the Roman goddess of agriculture, grain crops, fertility and motherly relationships, Ceres. It is unknown if this will play into Pyo's characterization of Ceres.
