Celeste has lived most of her life attempting to avoid her father, who's apart of the Merchants. From a young age her mother has instilled a fear in Celeste of her own father, telling her to stay away from him and how dangerous he and the Merchants were. So, for the most part she listened to her mother and avoided areas where she might end up running into her father.

It was after she turned 18 that her father attempted to reach out to her, wanting to meet his daughter under the pretense that he was attempting to get clean. She went with the request although took a friend as hidden backup just in case, but wanting to believe that her father wasn't the boogeyman her mother made him out to be. Turns out her father was offered a lot of drugs in order to recruit pretty women to 'up morale'. And she triggered when her friend had trouble getting into the room that she was in with her father and a small group of merchants.

Thankfully her friend broke the entire door down and managed to get her out, having armed themselves with a crowbar. She was fine other than the trigger event, and the whole thing was something that Celeste quickly put behind her. Instead focusing on her new job as a barista at a small coffee shop, as well as her new powers and what to do with them.

She has a small friend group who are aware of her powers and sworn to secrecy about it. But when the group does get together, it's usually the topic of conversation, about things that she could potentially do with them and different ways she could go be a hero. First of all, she's a flying artillery, with flight being her sub-power. Her main blaster power allows her to imbue random effects on projectiles she either throws or fires from a weapon. Another effect is that when she mentally targets somebody, her bolts typically have the effect of homing in on them, moving around corners or adjusting the projectile mid-flight to strike true. But her main power is still rather random despite this.

This means that if she were to do something like fire a crossbow bolt, it could explode, freeze the surrounding air as it travels, light things on fire, negate gravity for a short while in the area, ignore friction, or shock people. She's forced to 'cycle' through effects, becoming aware of them as the settle into the object. Although this does allow her to prepare them beforehand because the effects don't leave the object until she either fires it or the object is destroyed. Granted she's the only one that is capable of taking advantage of this power, so people using her enhanced projectiles won't be able to take advantage of the effect they may have, and it'll only work like normal.

She's taken a page out of Shadow Stalker's book, acting as a vigilante although nowhere near as violent, and mostly aimed towards taking down the Merchants as a form of revenge. Her friends are enablers by the way, pushing her to do it and she's a bit of a sucker for peer pressure. She's got no real plans for the future and is more than happy with where she's at in life right now although knows that it's going to change. She's not really excited about that but knows that it's going to happen.
