Celeste Astanas

Name: Celeste Astanas Age: 34 Height: 6'4" Weight: 164lbs/74.3kg Occupation: Leader of the Free Company called the Revenant Blades, based within Ishgard in Eorzea Class: Reaper Species: Hrothgar; anthropomorphic tiger people that have a human body, but a distinctly feline face and tail, along with their entire body being covered in short fur. Free Company: A guild of adventurers and mercenaries, often led by one or two prominent people among them. There are many free companies in Eorzea, but the Revenant Blades, Celeste's free company, of which she's the de facto leader, is fairly small but strong, with only 6 members, not including herself.

Appearance

Celeste is a tall female Hrothgar with white fur, feathery and wild white hair that reaches her neck and frames her face, and heterochromatic eyes, the right eye being blue and the left eye being green. She looks slim, but is deceptively lean, and despite her looks she can knock most people out with little effort. Her body is shapely and lean, with slightly large breasts, faint abs, thick but strong thighs, and a firm ass. Her voice is low and soft, making her sound kind and authoritative at the same time. Her casual attire is a white tanktop with a short-sleeved brown cropped jacket, black jeans with a white belt, brass armguards, and a pair of sandals. Her battle attire consists of a black and gold coat with a red top underneath, with an opening at the waist that angles out to her shoulders, revealing her shapely breasts in her black bra, black gauntlets, black slacks and a pair of dark combat boots. When she fights she wields a large scythe.

Personality

Celeste is kind, fiercely protective, and loyal to those she cares about. She considers herself to be the "mom" of the Free Company she runs, caring for the members like they're her children. She's willing to listen to other people's worries, and be their rock if they're having a difficult time in their life. She won't hesitate to use her fists, or her scythe, if her "children" or civilians are threatened, and it often gets her into trouble, so people believe her to be hot-headed in her protectiveness. She also gets hit on by men fairly often, being called things like "muscle mommy", among other things. While she appreciates the flattery, she doesn't want a relationship with just anyone. She thinks someone would have to prove that they can stand up for themselves, as well as stand up to her, and be confident in their choices, or own up to the consequences if something is their fault, in order to be with her. Trauma and coping mechanisms: Celeste heavily struggles with the trauma she's accumulated over the years, choosing to bury herself in crafting to cope, as well as hiding behind a mask of cheerfulness, confidence in her body, and relentless teasing. She's become a master of all the crafting classes; Blacksmith, Armorer, Goldsmith, Leatherworker, Carpenter, Weaver, Alchemist and Culinarian. Her biggest trigger is anything related to Zenos viator Galvus, as he terrorized her relentlessly, going as far as swapping souls with her to steal her body, and attempt to use it to kill her friends. Remembering anything related to him makes her mentally break down, becoming a wreck. She also shoulders trauma from her time as the Warrior of Light, feeling like she was forced to be the one everyone relied on when a world ending threat came up. The stress nearly ruined her in private, because she felt she'd be weak if she talked about it with anyone.
