## Overview

### **Physical Appearance**

Celeste has long, copper-red hair that curls over her shoulders and past her chest. She has green eyes, enhanced because of the rift along with golden skin that can lean towards white. She stands at about 5'6" tall, which might not seem a lot but to those around her it was. Her body type was built as if she was an hour-glass herself, which most men have noticed but per Celeste's personality she tended to ignore them.

### **Personality**

Celeste is a kind, compassionate, woman but can also be blunt when she needs to be. A lot of people who have met her when she was younger and in the Circle of Mages, they noted she held a note of regalness to her. She was the descendent of the Trevelyan family, so she made sure (as did her parents) that she had top-notch studies growing up, so she was always a well articulated and knowledgeable woman, and still is. She cares about her friends and family, and cares more about Thedas than probably anyone.

### **Talents and Skills**

* Rift mage, can dispel rifts at the palm of her hand, but can also summon them as well
* Knight-Enchanter, though very limited as she didn't get to finish training within her Circle

Celeste is a jack-of-all-trades, once she tries to learn something she can pick it up fairly quickly. As it goes for her training, she was once training to become a Knight-Enchanter, but was sold short when the Circle fell apart due to the actions of Corypheus. Despite her training, her favorite type of abilities have to include Lighting, Fire, and Ice, as those are the one's she uses the most during battle alongside her Knight-Enchanter friend *Vivienne De Fer.*

## Biography

### **History**

Celeste Trevelyan was born to Bann & Lady Trevelyan on 9:18 Dragon, a noble family located in Ostwick of the Free Marches. She was raised to be an elegant woman, showing respect & kindness to those above her or even below her. Once she turned 13, she began to be under the watchful eye of her parents who were beginning to worry if she would show said qualities of a Magic Wielder, she began to show the abilities that of a Mage. Her parents, with concern on their mind, sent her to the Circle of Mages in Ostwick. She lived a very close-off but protected life, though she was already accustomed to this lifestyle from the one she lived before she became a Mage.

### **In-game**

In 9:40 Dragon, a year after the Mage-Templar war began, Celeste was sent by her First Enchanter to the Temple of Sacred Ashes to talk about the current situation. She had hoped to voice her own opinion about the war, but was soon caught off-guard as the temple blew up and Celeste emerged as the sole survivor.

As she was the sole survivor of the Conclave explosion, those around her believed she was to be a traitor while other's believed her to be the Herald of Andraste. With this knowledge, Celeste wasn't as nervous about the title and more-so what it entailed, as she was used to the position of power seeing as she was a high-rank herself in her Circle of Mages.

As they continued their fight to end the rifts that are suddenly showing up everywhere, Corypheus shows up unnoticed with the intentions of ending & ruining Haven, along with killing Celeste herself. They fought all they could, and all Celeste can remember is seeing Corypheus one last time before she went unconscious, waking up to a foreign place. Soon enough, as she walked and fought her way to find where her companions were, she passed out again only to wake up to everyone fighting.

After a bunch of talking (*and singing...),* Solas, along with Celeste, lead everyone to Skyhold where they now reside as a replacement for Haven, to which Celeste was asked to become the Inquisitor of the Inquisition, which she happily obliged to.

## **Relationships**

### Main Companions (those Celeste partied with):

* *Cassandra Pentaghast*
* *Sera*
* *Vivienne De Fer*

### Companions (as told by how she viewed them):

* ***Cassandra Pentaghast -*** Celeste was never really close to Cassandra at first, but she viewed the woman with such dignity and respect, as she hoped the former would for her as well. She also helped and encouraged Cassandra to reform the Seekers of Truth to become rededicated to their purpose of protecting the innocent. Until one day, Celeste caught her reading a book that Varric had made himself. Per Cassandra's request, she asked that the Inquisitor not tell Varric about this but Celeste put it upon herself to get the next book from Varric himself, only to see the excitement from the Seeker herself. That day solidified their friendship, and from that day forward Celeste made her first friend that she cherished greatly. Celeste also helped seek revenge for Cassandra on some rogue Templars, just because she wanted to help her friend as much as she could.
* ***Sera -*** Although not much was known about Sera before their meeting, Celeste couldn't help but be drawn to the elven woman that presented before her. Soon enough, after much talking, there was a lot of stolen glances and late night talks to where they'd giggle and talk about their difference in growing up as Sera grew up as a rogue Elf and Celeste grew up as a noble Mage in the Free Marches. As they got closer and closer, Celeste knew deep in her heart she wanted more with the elven woman and she had hoped the same came from the other woman as well. After an intense amount of fighting for their own peace, Celeste admitted her own feelings to the woman and Sera admitted her own to the Inquisitor, and soon enough their stolen glances became stolen kisses in the middle of the day after a "stupid" - in Sera's words, quest.
* ***Vivienne De Fer -*** Vivienne was someone Celeste had to understand and learn to accept, and love. While they do both understand the way of a Mage and the way of a Noble, they had differences in political views. She was someone that Celeste had to talk to in intervals, as she didn't want to clash too much with the woman and risk the ruin of their friendship. That is until one day Vivienne asked the inquisitor to defeat the Snow Wyvern and obtain it's heart, along with finding her lost books, to which Celeste happily obliged to do. The day the inquisitor came back with the items she requested, Vivienne in her mind knew that this was someone she could trust in being their friend, and Celeste knew the same about her as well. Now they talk almost every-time they can, or in-between quests if they want. Celeste considers Vivienne to be one of her close friends as well.
* ***Dorian Pavus -*** Dorian is someone Celeste values highly, as she & Sera are very close to him. All three of them would occasionally drink some tea together, or Celeste & Dorian would casually play some chess. He also would teach Celeste a thing or two about her Mage abilities, just to freshen her own teachings up seeing as her own Circle taught her as much as she could. Celeste also would help Dorian finish off some Venatori's that he wanted dead, only for Dorian to respect Celeste even more than he had before. Their friendship is merely casual, though Dorian isn't as close to Celeste as most think he would be.
* ***Cullen Rutherford -*** Commander Cullen is someone Celeste highly respects, but is also someone she isn't as close as she should be. Seeing him struggling with Red Lyrium, something she was unaware of until it was brought to her own attention, she advised him to stop taking it in hopes that it would help -- and that it did. Other than some casual Chess games here and there, their friendship/relationship dynamic is purely work related and they both view each other as highly commendable people.
* ***Josephine Montilyet -*** Advisor Josephine, where can Celeste start? This is someone Celeste GREATLY appreciates, even more-so during the events of when Celene was possibly going to be assassinated. She helped the Inquisitor a lot during the ball, even though Celeste was already accustomed to the life of "The Game", she's been out of for a little while and Josephine was a big help during all of it. Celeste loves getting tea and having chats with Josephine, feeling already at ease knowing she has one more person she can talk to about the life of a noble.
* ***Leliana -*** When she first met Leliana, she could feel the respect coming off of the woman. Seeing as their first encounter was of when Celeste was with Cassandra at the beginning of the events before the Inquisition came to be, Celeste knew that Leliana was someone to keep close but to also keep a watchful eye of. During their time at Haven, Celeste made it her goal to tell Leliana that it was okay to not be so uptight, and also telling her not to inevitably kill one of her spies who had been traitorous. She wanted Leliana to remain the softened version of herself, instead of the hardened-not-so-fun version. There's not much else to be said of Leliana, but from Celeste's point of view she is someone who she also GREATLY appreciates as a person.
* ***Varric Tethras -*** When Celeste and Varric first met, it was all laughs & jokes. She never met someone so funny, but also so simply put as character she can see herself being friends with. There's not much Celeste can say about him, other than he is someone she can depend on especially when it comes to conversations that are not easy on the heart, so she can get a lighthearted laugh out of it. She appreciates him for who he is, and he appreciates her for honesty and her diplomaticness -- even if he doesn't agree with what she does.
* ***Solas -*** (I apologize in advance to Solas lovers) Celeste doesn't really like Solas, never has and never will. She personally finds him to be an annoying piece of the Inquisition, and probably wouldn't blink an eye if he was gone from Skyhold. The first time she met him, she personally thought he was an arrogant personality and would try her best to ignore him or not talk to him unless she was forced to. (*not even gonna bother finishing, you get the point. i'm sorry Solas lovers but this is how she is)*
