Personality

Behaviours

Celeste manages to maintain a very high level of patience, which extends to limitless when her companions are concerned. In spite of being physically weak, she takes the diplomatic front position of the small tribe of wanderers - leaping to defend them in any way possible. She is softly spoken and may appear to be somewhat of a pushover. She always carries a magicked star globe and a deck of cards. On a clear night she will often stop in her tracks and gaze skyward for a long time as if in a trance. After doing this she always feels invigorated.

Attire

Before coming to Eorzea, Celeste would usually be seen wearing a rather tattered robe with stockings and shoes. The tribe's lifestyle being minimalistic at best meant that the majority (including the elders) would not live too extravagantly. Celeste will now usually be found attired in long flowing robes that hide her small frame. She is fairly opposed to showing her body in public and will only bathe when she is convinced of assured privacy.

Upon first coming to Eorzea, Celeste activated a female Hyuran disguise to walk the lands without fear of startling.

Since coming to Eorzea she has come to appreciate finer garments that are tailored. When she and Raeth would approach new places, she would insist they take their time and see how others were attired before integrating their glamoured forms into the crowds. She secretly worries that garments she has collected will no longer fit her when she removes her magicked veil. From time to time she will don her older clothing.

Combat

Wielding a strange talent to manipulate and harness the energy of star constellations, Celeste employs a high level of Astromancy from a safe distance.

She is capable of weaving both offensive, and restoration techniques which can also form powerful barriers, centering these spells usually upon Raeth who is known to charge headlong into a foe's path in order to keep Celeste, Sully and Milo from harm.

Companions

• Raeth - A seldom spoken male Au Ra with a tumultous past. Despite an initially forced partnership, the pair have developed a mutual respect and trust. They share a strange bond that helps them understand what the other is thinking.

• Milo - An extremely skittish male Au Ra who is the brother of Raeth and the runt of their family. Milo was brought along by Raeth to join him, Sully and Celeste on their travels after concern that he would not be taken care of in his absence. Has quite a high intelligence and enjoys tinkering with gadgets.

• Sully - Another female Au Ra of the same tribe. Celeste knew little of Sully before their travels due to their differences in tribe hierachy. Celeste views her shy companion as a genuine friend and feels safe due to her prowess with a lance.

Likes and Dislikes

Likes: Books The Black Shroud The colour red Spending time away from conflict with her guardians.

Dislikes: Revealing clothing Being hassled for card divinations Stress Bullies

Hobbies and Talents': While she is not able to foretell the future, Celeste has an uncanny ability to draw power from the stars and use it to protect her allies. She has been using this power over the past few months to veil herself, Raeth, Sully and Milo beneath a magicked glamour so as not to draw attention to their appearance. When sat beside a fire, she enjoys singing.

History

Humble Beginnings

Xura - To Gather

Led by the enigmatic Kroin of the Dotharl, the Xura tribe has currently spanned over three generations. Their strange leader claims to have been present since the beginning (yet there is no proof to support this) and as such is rumoured to be hundreds of years old - a whimsical trait of Kroin is his assignment of titles to his tribe, despite his birth tribe’s bloodthirsty nature.

Seeking the strongest of warriors, Kroin travelled far to gather Elders from the Tumet tribe - renowned for their tenth summer ritual of a survival trial and their proud traditions.

Taking effort to ensure the future of his new dynasty, Kroin sought out Elders from the Geneq tribe - initially as he found their ability to communicate in a manner similar to cloud and wave kin somewhat adorable, but also respecting the knowledge and patience it must have taken to perfect this art.

The final step was for safety, Kroin and his council of Elders travelled to seek the Kagon tribe - in particular two of their Sages (skilled practitioners of forbidden magicks) who left their superstitions of evil sun goddesses behind them.
