Celia Callahan

Known for her aloofness and cunningness she’s praised for her analytical mind and her cold bea by her kingdom. She’s named: Celia Callahan, is the king's daughter, known for her intelligence and cold beauty. Twenty-five, she has golden blonde long locks that cascade to her back, a slender body, pale skin and paler freckles scattered across the bridge of her nose. With sharp shaped almond gray piercing eyes and a perpetual cold empathy stare.

She has a brilliant analytical mind often seen in the courts meetings proposing complex plans that extend from warfare to the state of the economy. Always careful with her words, always being introspective about presenting her ideas to the courts. Her speech usually takes two states; sometimes guff and concise with her speech, doesn't talk much outside of the court walls or royal events. In the palace she only speaks when she needs to hand out orders to maids, never letting herself express her true inner feelings apart from her criticism. Always keeping a reserved wall around herself that has nothing to do with meekness. Then there’s in the courts. Always introspective about her words and how they come across. Pausing before she speaks to rein in her thoughts. She’s always praised for her ideas she presents with grace and deep thought.

Outside of politics in her free time she enjoys taking hobbies that challenge her brain. One of her many interests is the study of metrica medica. In her private charmers she has whole shelves and cabinets that have her many experiments, written essays, and ongoing studies scattered across her room. She also has an interest in cryptozoology. She has many books about the anatomy of these mythical creatures in her rooms, ranging from stacks of notes from scientists who studied these creatures she pleaded for and bought herself, to different anatomical study scrolls of these creatures.

Mannerisms/speech/quirks: Quirk; In the mornings Celia has a multistep mythological morning routine which consists from washing her face to reading a chapter of a book she picked out of the royal westwing library. She values this alone time, and despises when she’s interrupted in her morning solidarity. Which ranges from thirty minutes to an hour. Mannerisms: Especially in royal court meetings Celia is always meticulous with her speech. Whether it is pausing before speech up to not speaking for a couple minutes and listening to the different political points brought it. She’s also as, if not more, perceptive during everyday life. Always watching every person's mannerisms, speech, to the way they dress. In her free time outside of her political life, or everyday hobbies she enjoys walking the courtyard of the palace. It’s a large garden in the middle of the Palace, the palace walls enveloping all sides of the garden with hallways that lead outside and wrap around the garden. The garden is always under meticulous care under the gardeners with sharp crispy cut hedges to care for a small pond in the garden. Celia enjoys taking a stroll in the gardens and sitting down on a rock underneath a particular tree in the garden that overlooks the garden. She tends to intently people within the gardens. From hurrying nobles to the maids cross the windows. Manners: A noble, yet alone a king's daughter, etiquette was crucial in her social standing. Having a good posture is one, a standing and sitting posture that holds your backs straight and holds your chin higher. Anything other than that means you’re undignified and a ruffian. Celia keeps this etiquette in her mind always, and never is caught with a slouch in her posture. Throughout the palace walls she always walks unhurriedly, her head held high, her hands folded in front of herself and steps always light. She also has a way of going with everyday life. From taking a cup of tea to how she walks so gracefully, she’s basically the embodiment of a high standing woman. Yet always wears an empty stare. Her cold stare is perpetual, even dead, nobles that were the attention of Celia ’s ice glare have always crumbled under the weight of her scrutiny. From the proudest noble’s mumbling a weak apology to some even excusing themselves on the spot. Quirk: Celia despite her well known reserved nature from big emotions, she surprisingly has a quick temper. She’s highly susceptible to her anger, and although she tries to rein in her annoyance she always has to have some kind of outburst. Whether it be pinning a pompous noble with a withering glare to not talking when annoyed. There’s a tale that once when she was shopping in the local marketplace, a shopkeeper tried to scram her out when she was trying to buy a common herb. Celia quickly caught onto the scheme, publicly cursing out the shopkeeper before her guards politely pulled her away. Quirk: Celia is very reserved with her emotions. Often very reticent to express feelings such as loneliness or sadness. The few times she may show emotions outside of aloofness or nonchalance, is when she makes a dry comment or sarcastic joke. Celia has a dry if not subtle sense of humor. She may deliver these jokes with such subtle nobles that are sometimes unsure if they are allowed to laugh. Leaving nobles to stand there uncomfortably trying to find a twitch in Celia ’s expression that tells them if she’s serious or jesting. However Celia never really expresses a lot of amusement to her comments. Often leaving nobles with a cold smirk or stare. Quirk: Celia doesn't like it, even maids enter her room. In fact she despises it and deters the palace maids from entering her chambers. And if she does, it's usually under strict instructions about where to put certain items, what dishes to take back to the kitchens, and what to keep untouched. But normally Celia's room is as meticulous as her mind is. She splits her room into five sections. The section in the top right where a large window is located, yet always covered by the covers, is the official ‘restroom’ where her bed, a desk that is specially for personal items such as her silk lace glove (that she always keeps on her hands), and cotton hair ties. At the foot of her bed lies a wooden vanity she uses to get prepared in the mornings. The top left is a small cobblestone counter with wooden drawers underneath that are attached to the walls. It has a small washbin where she washes her face in the mornings, her plants rest at the edge of the counter next to the window where she keeps a small crack in the curtains to let in the sun for them, and in the counter drawers storage for boxes filled with different supplies. Bottom right and left in the study room were a large desk she uses to study to do different experiments. And bookshelves in the left corner with plants that hang from the ceiling in that section. The middle of the room has couches and seating spaces and a small table of half the height of the couches. She uses the middle part as a lounge.

Word lore/ Celia ’s lore

In the word there’s different mythical creatures that live around the word. These mythical creatures from different cultures are around the word and all have different species depending on where they live. For example, in Japan there would be japanese kitsune, with slick white fur and large ears. Then their counterparts the north american Kistune. Depending on where they live, in North America they would have different characteristics. For example a southwest dessert kitsune with a lean body and tan dusty coat.

But there’s also a stigma surrounding different types of creatures that disrupt humans. Kitsune often play guile pranks and cause disruptions with their illusions. There’s more stigma against these creatures in North America than in Japan. But even still in Japan there’s still a stigma surrounding their mischievous nature.

When Celia was seven to eight years old, her mother died. The kingdom had been hit with yellow fever, and the kingdom's queen was hit with it. Celia has distinct memories concerning her mother, yet no one in the palace has ever heard her true thoughts about her mothers death. But she still carries fond memories about her mother prior to the tragic death.

Ellary Hawthrone, was Celia’s mother, died of smallpox. But one day after accidentally entering the apothecary wing seeing the royal physicians work with the plants she became interested in the study. This event was the catalyst for Celia’s interest in Mertica medica.

The king, Earnest Callahan, was divested yet didn’t show his grief after his wife’s death. Still commanding orders around the palace to the royal physicians to figure out the order the disease spread across the kingdom.

Earnest was already known for his guff disposition. He was known for his nods and concise demeanor carrying more about the actions in the moment. But after his wife’s death his rigid demeanor grew rigider after his wife's death. He became more temperamental after, once yelling about a palace maid because they forgot to bring an extra set of utensils for Celia.

Despite his harsh and brusque nature although he rarely gives Celia praise, just a polite nod at Celia in political meetings when she makes a good point, he does deeply care for Celia yet always has a roadblock to expressing his affection clearly without the borders.

Because of Earnests lack of praise or approval towards Celia, she’s grown used to his fathers coldness, yet interrupted that he’s just a cold busy man whom’s duties are too large to stay and give her such trivial praise. But despite this they tend to bicker a lot. For example: Celia enjoys walks outside of the royal palace, outside of the walls and into the woods that surround the eastern walls. But the king more often than not tries to negotiate by sending a small group of guards alongside Celia. Celia always declines. The point of the walks is to be by her lonesome, she enjoys the quiet away from everyone. So she storms out of her fathers office storming away to her room.
