Celeste loves her jacket and thinks it's "awesome".<ref>{{ConvoCite|hero1=Celeste|hero2=Graves|number=3}}</ref>

=== Appearance ===
Celeste appears as a skinny white woman. It's currently unknown if she also has a horse-like unicorn form. Her neck is elongated, and she has a gap in her front teeth. Her face and hair are covered with makeup, usually being stars and glitter. She wears large star-patterned earrings and has a large, glowing unicorn horn coming out of her forehead, that glows as she gains {{AbilityIcon|Radiant Daggers}} stacks. Her hair is a gradiant of blue, pink and purple tied into a huge twisting ponytail that extends to her waist. Celeste wears two small neckscarves: the inner one being blue and the outer one being red. Celeste's weapon is a baton with a similar pattern to her horn.

She wears a white, pink and blue acrobat outfit with purple details, a loose black jacket with spikes on her sleeves, fingerless purple gloves, and high-heeled black boots with unicorn horn-patterned heels.

Celeste's body is covered in monocromatic tattoos, alluding to [[wikipedia:Tattooed_lady|tattooed ladies]] who worked as sideshow attractions in the 19th and 20th centuries. The designs of the tattoos include horseshoes, four-leaf clovers, stars, unicorns jumping through fiery hoops, ice creams, harps, carousels, and a poodle wearing a birthday hat.

Celeste's fingernails are each painted a different colour.
