Character’s Appearance: Céleste is of average height for the time, with slightly tan skin, and short brown wavy hair that doesn’t quite reach her shoulders. She posses a thin frame, many would describe her as gaunt though it is a natural appearance and not one caused by poor health. One of her arms is a false replacement made of a dark stained wood, the arm is quite intricate featuring individual fingers and joints for all, with each joint featuring a knob allowing her to lock the arm and fingers in various positions though it is a slow and manual process.
She has a soft face that is common for the women of the village in France where she was born, soft and ovular, with dark brown eyes. She is not one for makeup but does indulge in bright red lipstick that stands out from her dark and plain appearance. She wears a high necked black dresses that on her thin frame make her look like a shadow, and knee high dark brown boots. On her head she wears a straw sun had with a fake cloth daisy sewn to the side and a long ribbon that blows in the wind around the rim. On her back is a large wooden box she carries like a backpack; the box is reinforced with metal brackets along the edges and there is no visible way to open it. A leather roll is strapped to the top of the box and carries her personal effects.
At her waist hangs a Colt 1851, strapped to her lower back a 44-40 Winchester Rifled modified into a Mare’s Leg alongside a hatchet, hanging under her wooden arm in a custom harness is a Peacemaker, and slung over a shoulder is a strange firearm that looks like a rifle crossed with a shotgun. Despite her frail appearance it’s hard to ignore someone carrying so many weapons so openly.
Notable Skills: Céleste is a skilled toy-maker, gunsmith, and gunslinger. If you were to ask her she’d claim she could build a gun out of anything, and a toy with whatever bits were left. As for her skills as a gunslinger, she'd say the fact she's still walking around says enough.

- Above average knowledge of chemistry and alchemy
- Wide knowledge on firearms including how they work, how to make them, and how to repair them
- Mathematics and Metrology
Powers: Céleste shows no outwards signs of powers, though from the days when she was still a full time toy-maker there were those who would swear the things she made sometimes moved on their own.
Characters Personality: Normally a sombre woman who speaks softly and often seems lost in thought or highly focused on what she’s doing, but will always surprise you with what she hears even when you think she isn’t listening. She will carry on a conversation with just about anyone and is seemingly able to keep up even when the topic ranges into areas she isn’t the least bit familiar with. She enjoys a good joke, and will quip out some of her own when the time seems right; and is often eager to lend a helping hand when she knows she could do some good.
When in a fight, she is not one who backs away or hesitates. If you put her life in danger, you’re either a threat, or you’re dead.
When she isn’t busy tinkering on a project or in a fight, when she thinks she is alone in a private moment, you might be able to catch a sad look in her eyes that makes you wonder if there is more to her then you know.
Motivations: Neither greed nor gold brought her to Fortune’s End.
