Celeste is a woman who only looks in the mirror. Her primary goal in life is to become a global superstar known for her acting prowess, regardless of who she steps on in order to get there. She is vindictive, judgmental, and petty. Having been doted on and fawned over for most of her life, Celeste is used to getting what she wants. She will do next to anything to get on top, only setting boundaries where the outcome could directly impact her and her road to success.

A narcissist to her core, Celeste often focuses on keeping up appearances. She is focused on her looks, involved in gossip, and silently demands to control the narrative of how others perceive her. She is vain and lacks any real empathy. If she can use her sexuality to entice and manipulate others, she is more than ready to do so.

Born and raised in Baton Rouge, Lousianna, Celeste was the third child and only daughter to her parents (Cassius and Presley Kobayashi). Her two older, twin brothers (Silas & Miles) were often positive towards their sister, and protective of her up until a certain age. Being the only daughter, Presley and Cassius both allowed for their daughter to get away with behaviors that they otherwise would have condemned. Celeste was a rebellious adolescent, often sneaking out at night to spend time drinking and smoking marijuana with her peers. She seldom got caught, and when she did, she often received a lecturing with little to no other ramifications.

Her father was a writer, and her mother was a painter, often leading Celeste to believe that the arts were a useless career ambition. Despite this belief, the irony was lost on her that acting was of a similar vein. Upon graduating high school, Celeste encountered a man named Reignier Goldpond, a college student studying English literature and poetry -- another hopeless romantic artist. Although she did not believe they would be together for the long-term, Celeste used the man's infatuation over her as a source of self-satisfaction. Upon discovering the city of Rapture, Celeste made it her goal to leave for this newly established city in order to make a name for herself and her acting career.

It wasn't long before arriving in the city where Celeste discovered she was pregnant with her lover's child. She was resentful and bitter and many opportunities were taken away from her due to this. Upon her child's birth, who she named Winona Goldpond, Celeste would often leave her in the care of barely-familiar acquaintances in order to continue chasing her dreams. This led to her daughter's eventual disappearance, assumed to have been kidnapped and genetically engineered to become a Little Sister, not that Celeste noticed.

As the city began to introduce ADAM into the mix, and therefore Plasmids, Celeste began to find herself especially interested in Teleportation, Telekinesis, and Insect Swarm as her Plasmids of choice. The worse the city became, the more in-fighting occurred. As Rapture fell to disarray, Celeste then gradually adapted the lifestyle and identity of a Houdini Splicer.

Celeste has an average-to-thin body type. Often seen wearing cocktail dresses, or other (almost exclusively) formal wear, Celeste's favorite accessory to add a little class to her style is pearls. Celeste enjoys wearing pearl necklaces and earrings, though just about anything expensive will do.

When decidedly wearing a hat, Celeste tends to lean towards Kentucky Derby style hats -- large, flopping, with lace, feathers, and other such eye-catching add-ons.
