### Backstory

Celestine was born in the East Blue to a pair of Merchant Parents, and with a dozen or so Uncles, and Aunts or what her parents really call them, the crew. Celestine was born to the open seas where she truly belonged, at an early age she adored them. But what she adored more than the open seas were the pirates that helped her Merchant Parents from despicable Marines!

Celestine had a very good impression of Pirates, as a couple of Pirates commonly helped her Merchant Parents sail the East Blue safely, for the small exchange of food, and a few riches. Her Merchant Parents were happy to oblige if it meant the safety of their only daughter. During that moment, Celestine’s eyes sparked with a passionate glow, as she knew what to become when she was of age, a pirate!

One fateful morning, Celestine asked the pirates to teach her in combat. Of course her parents did not approve of this, but Celestine didn’t care! She’ll do it anyway even without their permission. The pirates sadly disagreed to her offer, as the life of a pirate was no life for a woman like her, but they did teach her basic forms of combat. This would be another spark for Celestine to adapt what she taught at an early age to her own Fighting Style with its own varying techniques.

Once Celestine was 14, the pirates finally agreed to her constant insisting to be taught in sword training. Her parents also caved in to her constant loud voice. Celestine didn’t really like close-combat, so she insisted on using their spears. The pirates agreed, and until that day forward Celestine continued to learn Spear-Combat till she turned 16.

Two years before her great embankment on her own. Her parents, close to retirement, docked in Shells Town. Uncontented that she had to leave the Ocean, Celestine found the most desolate and isolated part of the Island and continued to train there for another two years, this is where she would develop her own fighting style known as Konubushiko-Koro(Fake Japanese) or “Pole of the Tiger Shark”. This unique fighting style makes quick work when incorporating quick tight slashes, and long reaching piercing strikes to target the opponent's weak points.

Arriving out from the depths of the secluded parts of Shells Town was a new woman, a woman ready for the journey of her lifetime. Suddenly arriving at her parents' retirement home which was rather nice, she told them she would use their old boat to sail the high seas, and seeing that her parents really can’t do anything about it, they simply agreed! Celestine understood Navigation across the seas as she basically lived most of her life on the open seas, so she knows a thing or too.

## Recap

### **Savior**

Celestine sailed peacefully across the vast ocean, casting her fishing nets to catch food to sell and sustain herself, her tranquil solitude was abruptly shattered by the jarring sound of wood colliding with her ship, "The Redbud." Startled, she rushed to investigate the source of the disturbance and discovered a dinghy adrift nearby. To her surprise and concern, she found a wounded and unconscious man named Levi lying in the dinghy.

Moved by compassion and a sense of responsibility, Celestine made a compassionate decision to take Levi under her care. She extended her hospitality, providing him with nourishing food and tending to his injuries. It was thanks to her timely intervention and care that Levi's life was spared.

## Techniques

Celestine skillfully employs the martial arts technique known as "Konubushiko-Koro," which translates to "Pole of the Tiger Shark.

* **The Cyclone of the Thousand Sharks** Twirling her spear in a circular pattern around her. Celestine leaps around as she closes the distance of her target while twirling her spear in a circular pattern, this ensures that she can block any incoming projectiles. As she nears her target, Celestine pauses abruptly and sends a quick spear jab to their head.

* **Jaws of the Tiger Shark** Assuming a more defensive position. Celestine chases her target, attempting to parry every attack, upon finding an opening Celestine decides she’ll either send a slash or a quick jab to whichever body part is the closest. Requires precise timing to master, and quick reflexes.

* **The Unrelenting Beam of the Crustacean** (Requires a Lighter, and some Oil to properly use) The Technique that she had practiced the most, yet the hardest to perform. Celestine channels most of her energy into a single jab, as she releases. Sending a beam of energy directly at the opponent. The beam itself will go through the opponent, but will explode upon impact.
