Caere'Telan nar Erysh

Aeran'Celet is a quarian, and one half of a designer duo (the other half being Sasha Thompson). The two of them are Shepard's go-to fashon house for the wardrobe required for their many diplomatic functions.

### Early Life and Capture

Aeran'Celet was born Caere’Telan nar Erysh. The Erysh had been a small freighter that specialized in the textile trade. When Caere was on her pilgrimage she met a young asari named Seri T'Scalyt and became friends with her. While visiting Erinle, the two girls were grabbed by slavers and sold on the Illium auction blocks. They would spend over the next decade as slaves.

### The Silver Star and Isabel Windsor

Both Caere'Telan and Seri were purchased by The Silver Star, a very wealthy and public slaving group. The public face of the Silver Star was Har’steil Weiak, and it was in his mansion he installed both girls.

In 2177, a young woman was brought to Weiak's mansion as a prisoner and Seri and Caere were assigned to work as her personal assistants; the name she gave to them was "Isabel Windsor". The two girls helped her calculate the date as mid-January, despite not knowing the human calendar.

Despite the torture Isabel received, she was tenacious and formed a plan together with the steward Venaius. On March 26, 2177, after killing the board of the Silver Star, Isabel and Venaius deactivated the slave collars and grabbed what they could to help the sizable amount of slaves escape, including Caere.

### Sasha Thomson

After escaping, Caere took the name Aeran'Celet, and dropped the use of a ship name all together. Sometime after that, she met Sasha Thomson and the two of them established Thomson-Celet Atelier fashion house on Illium in 2181.

### In Debt and Indebted

A few months after founding their business the Marquis d'Apien (Har'teil Weiak's senior business partner) re-discovered the quarian. Despite being very talented, they had no connections to build their reputation or clientele; both women were eating nutrient paste, and that still was not enough to make rent. The Marquis offered Aeran a deal- he would provide their needed capital and connections, and all she would have to do was be available for the occasional favor- dropping off packages, messages, payments and the like. But in the event of issues, the Marquis would drop an anonymous hit to the Citadel Chamber of Commerce's fraud department for accounting irregularities- push him far enough, and Sasha might disappear. Aeran agreed under the condition that everything appeared legitimate, and that Sasha was to never know. The atelier ended up being deeply indebted to the Marquis as he almost single-handedly floated their business for their first year.

### Shepard

After the media bombshell of discovering that Evadne Vakarian was involved with giving orders at Shanxi during the First Contact war, Shepard was advised by Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani to choose from an approved list of fashion houses to help strengthen her ties to humanity. Shepard was intrigued by one of the dresses Sasha and Aeran had made for eccentric simulstim star Lilian Sayanirash for the 2184 Academy Awards and asked to interview them.

Sasha would later explain that the two of them design all their pieces with a "story", and Shepard was sold on working with them.
