Hobbies: Kickboxing – Celeste uses kickboxing as a way to destress and keep her more physical impulses contained. She works a stressful job dealing with people who have no idea how to manage their own money, and she ends most days wanting to punch any number of them in the face. Fortunately for them, she has other outlets, and kickboxing is one of them. She began the practice in college during stressful exam seasons and has carried it into adulthood as a way of releasing any unwanted tension in a more healthy fashion. Not only does it serve as a stress relief, but with such a sedentary job the activeness of kickboxing helps to keep her in shape.
DIY – Not the type to go looking for help or asking for assistance, Celeste is an avid do-it-yourselfer. She enjoys the hard work and the feeling of success that comes with a job well done. Celeste enjoys taking old, battered pieces of furniture and making them like new. Some of the pieces she'll sell for a few hundred bucks, and other she keeps for her own use. She recently bought an outdated and rundown house in one of the better parts of town (one of the only reasons she was able to afford a place in the area was because the house was such a mess), and she spends a lot of her weekends and time off working on fixing it up room by room.
Cats – Celeste loves cats. She loves every kind of cat. Sorry, she just... she really loves cats. And she just wants to hug all of them but she can't, 'cause that's crazy, she can't hug
every cat. But she just wants to. She wants to.
She wants to. Anytime she hears “cat,” she just... she loves cats. She is a cat lover. She thinks about how many don't have a home and how she should have them, and how cute they are, and their ears, and the whiskers, and the nose... she just loves them, and she wants them. She wants them in a basket, and she wants little bowties. She wants them to be on a rainbow and just in her bed. She just wants a house
full of them.
Virtues: Alert – Perhaps due in part to her upbringing, or perhaps due to the nature of her job, Celeste is an attentive individual. She is naturally observant, interested in the goings on around her insofar as much as they relate to or affect her. Celeste is wired to be watchful. She's not the type to miss something or be caught unawares, with the result that she tends to be prepared for any outcome. She's sharp and perceptive, able to pick up on the minor ticks most people tend to think they're able to keep hidden. Celeste doesn't always bringing attention to these things, but it aids her in making determinations about people. She's able to quickly assess any given situation, as well as her surroundings and the individuals who happen to be there.
Fearless – To say that Celeste is entirely without fear would be an exaggeration. She doesn't know anyone who doesn't have at least one thing they fear. The difference between Celeste and more fearful people is that she didn't allow her fears to get the best of her. She keeps them buried deep down and hidden, with the result that she can respond with guts and bravery. She isn't the type to back down when something seems too hard. In fact, the more difficult a situation is, the more it seems that Celeste excels. Celeste is unafraid of making mistakes in the process. After all, it's those mistakes that truly help one learn.
Efficient – Due in part to her observational skills, Celeste is also quite efficient. Though she may not be the most skilled at her job, she is at least adequate and makes an effort to get things done both quickly and to the best of her abilities without overextending herself. Celeste is practical and economical, decisive and productive. She isn't the sort to waste time. Celeste is far from lazy, and though she may not conduct herself or her business with any notable passion (indeed, she remains somewhat lacking in that), she is at least competence, and her actions show it.
Flaws: Aloof – Often it might seem as if Celeste just doesn't care about people. This would not be an entirely inaccurate assessment. That isn't to say she cares more about herself than she does others. She's not selfish. She simply lacks the emotional capacity to care about much of anything, with the result that she comes off as distant an uninterested. She is observant to a degree. When it comes to the more private details of a person's life, she quickly finds herself growing bored. Celeste isn't the type to go out of her way to form attachments with people. Her preference is to remain on her own. Celeste is independent to a fault and has lost quite a few friends due to her apparent disinterest.
Curt – Celeste doesn't often go out of her way for people. Instead, she is only as polite as she needs to be. Perhaps the one complaint her supervisors have concerning her performance at work is that she's lacking in warmth. She responds to people in a terse, abrupt manner that seems quite off-putting. Even in those instances in which she might care about someone, it's in her nature respond concisely instead of with any real feeling. She prefers to be succinct. Celeste isn't the type for small talk or long-winded explanations. She gets straight to the point, with the result that she often seems quite brusque and uncaring.
Volatile – Though she frequently appears quite calm and unruffled on the outside, Celeste has quite the temper. Her emotions are often erratic, which is part of the reason she puts so much effort in keeping them to herself. When she explodes, the results can be disastrous. She keeps her emotions so tightly bottled up inside of her that it may seem she doesn't have any, with the results that many people are caught unprepared when she finally snaps and releases all the stress and distaste she keeps so rigidly contained.
