Even in a world of magic, some things are still rare and unusual. So what is a unicorn to do?  Announce her presence to the world and potentially have poachers looking to saw off her horn? Or hide in plain sight at a Coney Island Side Show where most folk would assume her appearance was just part of an act?

Over the years "The Dazzling Celeste" has grown into one of the more popular attractions on Coney, and while the applause from a cheering audience is appreciated; what keeps her waking up in the morning is the found family she's made at work.

Keruba the Mermaid.

Blockhead Lenny.

Chickenwing.

Ted.

These were her people.  So when she discovered that one of her own sold part of their soul in order to cover a gambling debt, Celeste knew it was time to step out of the shadows and do whatever it takes to get it back.  Is revealing her power to The Patrons a risk?  Yes.  But that's tomorrow's problem... her family needs help today.

Overview

Biography

Not much is known about Celeste's life before joining the sideshow. It's implied she knows other unicorns, as she calls her powers "the mysteries of my people".[1]

Celeste's existence as a unicorn is questioned by skeptics who don't believe unicorns are real.[2][3][4] Some of them believe that she glued a horn to her head.[5] Only her closest friends know her true identity.[6]

Celeste has frequently caused accidents when performing or training her acts.[7][8] She used to close kids' birthday parties with Light Eater until she faced multiple lawsuits.[9] She stopped being invited to a glassblower's convention after using Shining Wonder,[10] has broken her friend's things while practicing it,[11] and took it out of her act after causing too many concussions.[12]

Personality

Celeste hates hurting other people, expressing remorse when killing enemies.[13][14] She likes to compliment other women,[15][16][17] and doesn't like when people she finds pretty try to kill her (which is implied to have happened before).[18]

Information

The Paradox Organisation have tried to steal Celeste's horn.[19]

While on opposing teams, Celeste says people like her and Mo were supposed to stick together.[23] Additionally, Mo wants to cry if he kills Celeste.[24]
