Celestia was described as a beautiful girl with a pale skin complexion, blue eyes and medium length blonde hair. She has a heart shaped face with prominent, big eyes. She has a slender, petite build and is slightly short for age. It is said that she and Luna resemble a lot in each other that students have mistaken them as twins.

Unlike her sister who wore "bizarre" outfits, Celestia wore comfortable clothing when she wasn't wearing her uniform. She had a tomboyish style and wasn't very girly. Before cutting her hair before her seventh year, she would have her hair up in various styles such as braided, up in a bun or ponytail, or just kept it down on occasions.

## Personality and Traits

Unlike her sister who was very perky and energetic, Celestia conveys a "bad girl" persona-- overconfident, tough, quick-witted and sarcastic. Though she was blunt and didn't care about anything that wasn't important, she did admit she wasn't proud of who she was.

Most of her brashness could be borne of the fact that her mother was accidently killed in front of her and her sister. She blamed her mother for her own death, despite the fact that she missed her mother dearly. However, even after her mother's death, she became fiercely protective of Luna and protects her from the bullies at Hogwarts.

Not only is she protective of Luna but she is also protective of her best friend, Fiona Potter. She was very worried for Fiona when she was petrified. She also stood up for Fiona when she volunteered to take Harry's place in the tournament.
