Of course not! I think this is a really good idea so I'd be upset to completely abandon it, it's giving me more of the practice for longer writing since I haven't roleplayed in a while
I think I'm done with this, though I might still want to add some more on. Let me know if there's anything I should add.

Physical Appearance:
Celeste is particularly petite, rather small in stature and in her weight. She doesn't have much curve about her figure, she is mostly flat. Though it isn't as if she minds much, curves get in the way when trying to hide in small places. She has a sort of young, wholesome look about her. Her facial structure is round, with her cheekbones barely making an appearance but this tends to give her the kind of advantage she likes. She tends to be labelled as 'cute', which she either loves or hates depending on her mood. But it always works to her advantage, since an innocent facade can mask her mischievous tendencies. Unfortunately, this seems to be the only advantage that comes with looking much like a child, which is unbearable to no end for Celeste. Her eyes are wide and round, and are fairly close together. They're blue, but almost grey. Her eyebrows are dark and thick, especially against her fair skin. Her lips are pink and quite round and thick, with a high cupid's bow.
Celeste's skin is a very pale white, indicating of course to her various European origins. Her cheeks normally sport a healthy pink blush and she has fair freckles on her nose that tend to show most in the summer. The rest of her skin is mostly blemish free, apart from some other fair freckles dotted sparingly on her arms and legs. She has a small, circular birthmark on the top of her thigh.
Celeste's hair shows some sign of damage from the different colours it has been, but she tries her best to look after it so it's hardly unhealthy. Currently she sports an aqua blue, one of her favourite shades. Previously it had been pink, like candyfloss, but her natural colour is a blonde that's almost white. Her hair is all the same length, right down to the middle of her back.
Attire:
Celeste has a good sense of style, and is lucky to be able to buy any clothes she likes, since her parents can afford it. She likes denim, especially stonewashed, and loves dresses and skirts when she feels more feminine. She has a strange fondness for socks, especially ones with different kinds of styles and patterns on them. She likes to wear pairs with food patterns.
Personality
Innate & Outward Personality:
Outwardly, Celeste tries to be as fun as possible. She likes the make others laugh, and she loves playing pranks. She plays for laughs a lot, perhaps too much, because she just loves the positive attention. It tends to be one of her admirable qualities, and what people always know her for. She's quite impulsive and easily influenced, since all she ever really wants to do is be liked and fit in. Of course, she does have her own mind, but she just isn't technically against many of the things she goes along with. This normally entails drinking, smoking and doing drugs, but it's all in good fun. This is a fact she would definitely like to keep from any authority figure, especially her family and parents. She does love to play the good girl when it works in her favour.
In her studies she does okay, she's above average but not a top achiever by far. This mostly falls down to laziness on her part, but there is some kind of inability there she likes to ignore and pretend it doesn't exist. There's no way she would ever admit she didn't understand something. That's another thing about her, she's unbelievably stubborn and just will not admit something, no matter how true, that makes her look bad.
Celeste is very trustworthy and trusts others easily. One thing she will not do is spread rumours or tell secrets. But being someone that trusts easily doesn't always work in her favour, since not everyone is as trustworthy as she thinks. She loves people and will always do anything to make people like her, which is rather tryhard-ish sometimes, but nevertheless comes from a good place. She is caring and likes to make people happy and sort out problems.
Celeste is very prone to phases, especially in the things she is interested in. One week she will love plants and want to know everything about them, the next week it will be a certain author or artist. But one thing she is continually passionate about is animals. It's not so much an ambition as much as something she finds endlessly fascinating. But she also goes through many other phases, in her moods. These normally end up with changes in her dress and of course, hair colour.
Celeste is quite open about love and sex, she doesn't mind talking about it and will openly say the things she thinks and feels. Gender doesn't matter much to her, though she leans slightly more towards boys. Only really because she always seems to get on with them more. There's something about her that a lot of girls don't like, which she obviously hates since she craves love so much.
Inwardly, Celeste isn't wholly different to how she presents herself outwardly, but there are aspects of herself she doesn't like people to see. This is mostly her issues of self - her loneliness, self esteem and such. These are thoughts she mostly can deter, especially since she tries to keep herself busy and be alone as little as possible. Her mental health was once a lot worse than it is currently, so she really considers herself lucky.
Hobbies/Interests:
Celeste quite likes reading fiction novels and poetry, and does some art in her free time, though she's not very gifted. She's interested in animals too.
Skills/Talents:
Celeste tends to pick up information about things she likes quite quickly, but if she doesn't like it, it just tends to go straight through her skull. She does remember interesting things very well though.
Prized Possession:
A silver necklace given to her by her grandmother
Quote(s):
"You'll never leave where you are, until you decide were you would rather be."
Celeste was born in Sweden. Her mother being half Swedish, half Finnish and her father being half Swedish, half French. She grew up particularly wealthy but didn't see much of her father for long periods. For holidays, he would come home and stay with Celeste and her sisters, which everyone else seemed to love more than her. Celeste always felt closer to her mother, but also to the tutor she had. Her parents had high expectations of her, and by age 11 Celeste spoke fluently in Swedish and English, and could speak a lot of French and Finnish. However, Celeste didn't have much ambition to be studious and academic, much to her parents' discontent.
When Celeste's power began to be revealed, her parents were confused and mostly worried. They couldn't imagine having a child with these kind of abilities. They were embarrassed of her, and Celeste hated it. She hated her power and she hated not being good enough for her parents. She wanted to be normal like they wanted. This was the drive for a lot of Celeste's upset and self esteem issues when she was younger, but being angry about her power didn't make it go away, it only made it manifest more. Sometimes when she was angry, she would wish something small like her father's hot drink would spill everywhere and scold his lap, and of course it did. It had her in much trouble with her parents, constantly. It was only when her younger sisters began showing signs of having similar powers that it became less of an embarrassment to her parents. It was a different story when it was them.
After hearing about the Academy, it became an easy decision for Celeste's parents - obviously, she would go. Celeste had reservations about the school, she had never lived away from home, and she was worried her parents would dump her there and never come back. However, once she learnt her sisters would be attending in a few years too, it became an easier decision - not that Celeste had much of a say in it. Celeste's younger twin sisters are two years younger and have always impressed her parents more than her. They are both very studious with high ambitions, but Celeste just doesn't live up to the same expectations. Celeste has always put more work into strengthening her powers than her sisters have, yet to her parents, that doesn't mean a whole lot.
Celeste has always delighted in playing tricks using her power, especially on her sisters. Though they do have powers that could perhaps be more powerful than hers, she practices much more and can always think of a fun way to get revenge for the bias given to them.
Arriving at the Academy for the first time was strange. Celeste had only ever been tutored at home, and the only interaction she'd had with people close to her age was her sisters. She didn't know what school was like before then, and she wasn't fond of it. She liked people and she was excited to meet lots of new people, but she wasn't used to not having so much private time. She'd had a lot more alone time at home, but it wasn't long until she grew to love being surrounded by people constantly. In fact, all of her reservations about school eventually faded, even about her parents. By this point, she barely sees them, they communicate mostly by phone. Celeste prefers it.
Liquid Manipulation - Celeste can manipulate most liquids, though she has not yet reached the full extent and power of it. She can manipulate water very well and can manipulate most liquids that are out in the open (not in the body). She can form some of her own water without any source but herself, but not a large amount. Celeste can manipulate other liquids such as milk and even blood, but she hasn't got strong enough ability to manipulate liquids within the body. She can move liquids to her own advantage, even in combat if it came to it. Because she can move it at such high speeds, they can provide a good weapon, especially for bringing people off their feet and leaving them breathless and weakened. She can even make liquid water into ice, just not on a huge scale, but could easily freeze someone's hands or feet.
Limits:
Although the range of her power has increased, she still can't manipulate things long range. The further away it gets the less control she has, until she loses control completely. She also can't manipulate all liquids, such as liquids in the body. She can't manipulate larger bodies of liquid for too long, and if it's too large she can barely move a drop. It becomes more difficult to do, the more liquid she is trying to manipulate. Creating water herself is something she finds difficult and she can not produce much of it, even when she has drank a lot.
Weaknesses/Drawbacks:
Using her power significantly drains her energy, especially when used for prolonged periods of time or on a larger volume of liquid. She has to wait for her energy to regenerate before she can use it again, otherwise she can pass out or even much worse. Creating liquid herself uses the water from her own body, so dehydrates her. This can be fatal if she were to push it past her limit.
Celeste walked the path steadily. She was in no rush, it was just perfect. Trees lined both sides of her, but she didn't know what kind they were. She half wished she did, just for the knowledge, but she decided that she honestly didn't really care. They looked nice enough, that was all that mattered to her.
"Hey! Celeste! Hey, stop!" a voice from behind her stopped Celeste in her tracks. She turned, seeing a tall boy with a face she recognised, but didn't know how. She didn't address him, since she had no idea what his name was, but she still looked at him to show she was listening. He approached and soon they were stood face to face, although it was more face to chest; he didn't seem so tall when he was further away.
"You're Celeste?" he asked. She nodded, still unsure of what he wanted from her or if she had anything to say to him. She decided to stay quiet until she knew his intentions. "I'm Stefan, I'm a friend of Kyle's."
"Kyle...?" Celeste left the question open ended. Did she know a Kyle? Surely she did, otherwise it wouldn't make much sense that he would both know her name and what she looked like, if he had not heard it from a friend. He must have attended the academy too - she wondered what his thing was, one of her favourite games to play with people from the academy she didn't yet know. Was it elememtal? He looked like it was elemental, maybe it was something to do with wind.
"He's the guy who's always asking about your sisters." Stefan chuckled. Celeste gave a knowing look that said 'oh!', because now she knew. Of course... Kyle. Dark hair, very tall, shadow mimicry. Very annoying, considering he constantly scared the life out of her by using his powers to sneak up on her. He was funny though, there was that. "I wanted to talk to you about what you did to him..."
Ah. Of course. See, Celeste had become sick of Kyle constantly sneaking up on her. She had to get payback, it was fair game. So she had hatched a plan, and it was simple really. She had waited until a precise moment, and the minute it happening the plan came into effect.
It was one day she had a class with him, he was sitting a table away and then, Celeste got her chance. He asked to go to the bathroom, and guess what the answer was? So he had to sit in class and wait, but he didn't do it in silence. This was when Celeste took out the water bottle from her bag, unscrewed the lid and ever so slowly moved it across to him, underneath the tables. Then, it soaked. Just as she had hoped, it was subtle a movement enough that he didn't notice immediately. Not until the end of class when he stood up and... well, yes. But she thought she'd gotten off scott free, since no one believed him when he said it wasn't piss. She didn't think anyone knew... oops.
