Celestine was born just as bright as she is now. She always spoke her mind and was obviously on the chattier side. Though she thought herself above all others, she did treat others with respect, as was custom for the heir of the tribe. She wasn't close with any cat except for Winifred, another kit, around two moons older than her, who was destined to become a Seer. Celestine was practically glued to Winifred at the hip, and they did everything together, it provided Celestine with a distraction from the rest of her family. Her dismissive mother who had an obvious preference for her brother, Avani. Her sister, Estrella, who died from a bought of sickness that struck the camp a moon or two back, and her father, who did nothing but sit and watch her from the shadows.

Once she hit four moons of age, she went through the "Gem Crowning," as did all members of her lineage. The surgery was done by an overambitious Major Seer, who had too high of expectations for his designs. Celestine almost bled out during the surgery as a result of it, but she managed to heal up nicely, while the surgery did almost go terribly wrong, th designs were still gorgeous. The sapphires assigned to her gleamed against her pink fur. At five moons, she accompanied her father up to visit the Great Lynx, allowing herself to be accepted as the next rightful ruler of the Absone tribe. It wasn't until six moons old that she began her training. While she had been so very excited to start, it was quickly drowned by her father's behavior. He was brash, angry, strict, and even violent, he put too much pressure on a kit of six moons. Celestine began to resent him, him and his foolish ways. He had isolated her, berated her, hurt her, and she was beginning to get tired of it. Eventually, she came across an opportunity. Celestine, her father, and two other Seers had gone out for one thing or another, and an avalanche struck. It killed the two Seers, leaving her and her father, he had intended to go and get help, but Celestine saw her chance. She sprang at him, killing him with the same moves he had taught her moons ago. Momentarily, she was shocked, before a cold sense of acceptance and relief washed over her. With little effort, she dragged her father's body to the nearest fast-moving river, tossing him in, watching his body be swept away, never to be found again. She returned home, claiming the avalanche had killed every cat on the patrol except her, and of course, they believed her. Quickly, she was crowned as leader. Becoming Crown Dame Celestine, just as she was destined to.
