'''Celeste''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. It's not every day that Coney Island's biggest star, The Dazzling Celeste, performs on the streets of Manhattan. Her show begins with Light Eater, where a deep breath lit by her blazing baton coats enemies in front of her, and grants increased damage against them. Following that up, she envelops herself in the prismatic shield of her Dazzling Trick, which explodes and silences nearby enemies who break it. Try not to get distracted by her gliding gracefully through the air, or by the dance of her Radiant Daggers, as you'll regret being underneath them when they rain down from above. As for her memorable final act, the Shining Wonder will make her allies go OOH and her foes go AGGHHH!

'''Celeste''' is a [[Hero]] in ''[[Deadlock]]''. It's not every day that Coney Island's biggest star, The Dazzling Celeste, performs on the streets of Manhattan.

Following that up, she envelops herself in the prismatic shield of her [[Celeste#Dazzling Trick|'''Dazzling Trick''']], which explodes and silences nearby enemies who break it.

A popular attraction at Coney Island, "The dazzling Celeste" isn't a carnie with a horn glued to her head: she's actually a unicorn. As unicorns are nothing more than a myth in the eyes of the public, Celeste hides her true identity out of fear of getting poached for her horn. However, when one of her found family members on the sideshow loses part of their soul in a gambling debt, Celeste is prepared to risk revealing her identity if it means helping her family.
