Cecelia Dram

Charlie Dram (uncle)

"*Business boundaries pusher Cecelia Dram isn’t interested in yesterday's marvels. She’s following in her father's footsteps to achieve tomorrow's innovations today. She can’t wait for you to experience a new corporate horizon with the Leadership Ascension Track.*"
―Description, *Dramcorp Website*
**Cecelia Dram** is a fictional character in *Omega Mart*. Cecelia has taken over the CEO position at Dramcorp after the "retirement" of her father Walter Dram. She is the daughter of Walter Dram and mother of Marin Dram. The company is very suspicious of this since Walter said himself prior to his retirement that Kazuhiro Matsumura should have been his successor. Still, Cecelia has many plans going forward with the future of Dramcorp.

## History

#### Early Life

Much of Cecelia's very early life isn't well known. She is the daughter of Walter Dram and has been following in her fathers footsteps. Cecelia succeeded very well in all of her academic life and took it very seriously. Cecelia told Marin that she didn't even go to prom because she didn't have a date. She doesn't seem to get along with most people. Cecelia had a very good relationship with her uncle Charlie Dram in the past, while her relationship with her father is dodgy at best.

On an ordinary day of the summer of 2003, while Cecelia was exploring The Source factory, she reports on having a vision of The Nula. The high-priestess Thali spoke to her, revealing them collecting Source from corners of the multiverse. Cecelia noticed their limitations and weaknesses, them being dependent on their collective and their semi-corporal bodies. The Zenion scepter appeared in her hands and she felt limitless for a moment. Ever since her vision, her goal has always been to free humanity from desire and limitation and to harness the Nula's incorporeal freedom to evolve.

A few years into her work with Dramcorp, Cecelia was starting to get burned out and needed a personal disruption. She traveled to Seven Monolith Village where she met up with Charlie and Rose and partook in a special Source drinking ceremony. Somehow, from the ceremony and being around the source, she became pregnant with Marin, and had to spend nine months in the Forked Earth. During that time, she experienced a complete lack of desire, and wanted everyone to have exactly what they want. When she tried to leave with her daughter, Marin could not leave the portal. Cecelia had no choice but to leave Marin to be raised by Charlie and Rose, sending letters to them and giving specific instructions to never tell her about being part of The Source (so her abilities could evolve naturally). Marin writes in her blog that she's upset her mother rarely visits, and that when she does Marin feels like she's not the focus of her attention. Cecelia spends most of her time at Dramcorp, trying to figure out a way to rid the world of desire, and to free her daughter from the Forked Earth.

##### Spoilers

After Cecelia heard more about Marin's lucid dreams, she decides its time for Marin to see her grandfather, and for Cecelia to talk with him about her potential and what this means for the future of Dramcorp. They meet at the Source Well in the factory. Walter gets carried away, demanding that they should capitalize on this and even bring her to DART to run experiments. Walter shouts how Cecelia will never be CEO, and in a fit of rage, she pushes him into the Source Well and he ends up in the aetherial plane. Marin then jumps into the Source after Walter. It appears that she was trying to save him, even though it seems this was their first time meeting.

Cecelia frames a story of Walter willingly choosing to enter the Source Well while setting up a story of retirement for the public. (Nobody knows that Marin exists outside of 7 Monolith Village, so she's just considered missing by her friends and the other 7MV residents) Cecelia appoints herself as CEO as she tries her best of getting her company on board with The Leadership Ascension Track plan. In private, she is still finding ways to save her daughter Marin from the Rift.

## Appearance

Cecelia is commonly seen wearing a black blazer with a collared shirt and her hair up and tied back. Her skin is pale with dark hazel eyes and dark brown hair. Her hair is seen down only in Charlie's Super 8 Footage.
