Personal History
Celeste was born on November 19th in New Orleans, Louisiana. She has a twin sister named Chandra and a younger brother, Calibre, as well as several cousins. It's hard sometimes to differentiate them since they were all raised together. Her parents were killed in a plane crash with her aunt and uncle, leaving them and the cousins orhpans.
They were all taken in by the family's patrons, a wealthy vampire couple named Gustav and Elise De'Espionne who lived in the city as part of the social elite. The family line had always been tied to these two ancestors, as they kept their descendents interwoven in the businesses and gangs they ran, a type of vampire mob of mercenaries and thugs.
Growing up each of them was trained not only for high society, but also in martial arts, subterfuge and deceit. Gustav's goal was to turn them into useful lieutenants and members of his organization, proper pawns to further his goals and pad his pockets more. He was a harsh, cruel and stern figure, with little patience or compassion. The lack of those traits was more than made up for by his tenderhearted wife Elise, a noble born woman who tried her best to be a buffer between him and the children.
From an early age Celeste excelled at these darker arts, but she was also willful and was punished many times for her 'insolence'. Celeste's discipline was usually reduced at the pleadings of her sister, who is Gustav's personal favorite and was doted on with anything she asked for.
Many times her Grandmere counciled her on becoming more loyal and obedient, explaining the value of honoring ones elders and serving as you are needed. The concept wasn't lost on the young girl, who began to slowly take it to heart and strived harder to become the best.
Her only real competition was her cousin Amberelle, the youngest of them all. It irritated Celeste that Amberelle would always hold herself back, she did just enough to get by but didn't seem to embrace her talents.
Despite her commitment to training and serving her family's interests Celeste had a long term boyfriend, whom she met when she was only 15. She kept him closely guarded secret from everyone but Chandra and her grandmother, who aided her in her deceptions. By the time she was 21 there was talk between them of marriage and family, but Celeste realized she couldn't just abandon her commitment to her family.
She sought out Gustav to tell him. The boy was from a wealthy and powerful family who could be a great asset to them she reasoned, so she didn't see why he wouldn't give his blessing to her request to be released. She was very wrong.
He tried to force her to send off letters to him and to break off all contact, or else Gustav promised he would be killed. At first she refused, sure he wouldn't dare to harm her fiance because of his position. In a rage Gustav beat her down, hospitalizing her.
A day later when Elise came to see her and told Celeste that her beau had been assaulted and viciously beaten she felt a chill go through her. Elise was quick to console her, unaware of the fact that Gustav had arranged the accident, and assured her he would live but that he would most likely lose one of his eyes.
When she was visited in the middle of that night by Gustav she relented, and swore to break off all contact. She reaffirmed her vow to serve him and was offered her immortality. Celeste took it with hate in her heart, knowing that one day the best way to serve her clan and her family would be the death of Gustav, and she wanted to be there for that.
