Celia Valerius

Mary Lector - Enemy

Celia Valerius, also known as the Ultimate Statue Maker, is a Danganronpa OC that was first used on Amino and has now been transferred into Lizard's latest book project, Future's Hope: Fanganronpa

## Personality:

### Amino:

Celia is a very shy character who is the definition of a friendly giant, she often stutters a lot when talking to others and can be distracted and go on ramblings about statues and architecture. She is incredibly friendly and shows her appreciation by making statues for those she cares for.

### Future's Hope:

Celia's character is very similar to her Amino, only she is more paranoid of Mary and her influence and doesn't talk to others due to her possible anxiety. She doesn't like to kill, even if her life is being threatened, mainly due to her fear of Mary.

## Backstory:

### Amino:

When Celia was born, it was obvious there was a dispute between her parents and their marriage was on thin ice, with her mother only staying around for a couple more years because of Celia's birth. However, when Celia was about 3 years old, her mother and father went through a divorce because her mother didn't appreciate her father's spending and stock habits, also noting that he was also becoming an alcoholic, this lead to a court case to dictate who would get custody rights. Somehow, Celia's father won the trial, probably because at the time he was incredibly wealthy, not billionaire wealthy, but maybe several million, and he had the most custody of Celia (6 days out of a week, with her mother only getting to see her for 1 day, a Sunday). So, Celia went to live with her dad, at the time, she never understood why she could only see her mum for 1 day, and she desperately tried to visit her more often, but her attempts always fell short. When Celia was 5, her mother was going to move to a different country to pursue a better career, she offered Celia to go, but her father wouldn't allow it, so Celia stayed and would never see her mother again.

Things got worse. Her mother was right to have feared for her husbands future. A couple of months later, Celia's father placed a high and risky bet on a stock, and it plummeted the next day, couple this with a declining business venture and a drinking problem that only increased, meant that Celia often found herself completely ignored by her father. Her anxiety and desire to help only strengthened from that day, worrying she had done something wrong to deserve this.

At this time, Celia was being enrolled into school, where they had an arts and crafts day and the class was instructed to make something out of clay. Despite Celia's unfamiliarity with the subject, she tried her best, and by the end of it, she created something so life like that students feared the clay structure may pop out and come to life. When Celia showed her father this, he too was impressed. but at the time, since he was a tad short on cash, he took the clay figure and sold it, and for a decently high price as well. From that day on, Celia's father encouraged Celia to steal clay and supplies in order to make more statues, and she got away with this for about a couple years until she was found out and kicked out of school. However, by that age, it didn't matter, with the money her father had collected, he could afford his own materials and even gave Celia a new workshop and finest tools.

Ever since, Celia has been working with her father to create massive works of art that have been commissioned by wealthy patrons or sold off in art museums. Celia has received the best education possible and went to various art skills to improve her craft, but it was already pretty damn good. Eventually, this would lead to her getting an invitation from Hope's Peak School/College to be known as the Ultimate Statue Maker. Celia accepted, and accepted her new life.

### Future's Hope:

Celia's backstory remained the same, only with the added detail of how they got trapped in New Verrock:

Celia was in Verrock with her father at the time, and when the tragedy struck, she tried to run away with her father, but after about of month of trying to escape, she was captured and bought forward to the new 'Leader' of this torn city. Instead of being killed, like she had first expected, she was taken in, given a place to stay, in exchange for her building statues for the ruler in their image in order to spread their word. Celia reluctantly agreed, fearing the consequences if she said no, and she would work with them throughout. She learnt through this time never to disobey her ruler, in one event, she had her eye gouged out by a Monokuma as a punishment for getting caught working with a group of survivors. She has lived in constant paranoia ever since.

## Trivia:

- Celia is the tallest Danganronpa OC.

- Celia has a pet snake called Slithers (but he was not added into the story).

- How she received her bandages differs. In the story, she received them through punishments from Mary. In the Amino, she took the phrase 'Blood, sweat and tears' too seriously.
