Celestia au Nyx

'  "I- I dont know Aure, I've never been in command before. Not before the institute, at the institute nor after the the institute. Ive always been commanded around by someone else"

''

''' -Celestia au Nyx to her cousin Aurelion au Nyx regarding giving Celestia command of the Nyx Fleet.

Celestia au Nyx, also sometimes known as the forgotten Nyx, is the Cousin of Aurelion au Nyx and Elia au Nyx.

She is plagued by self confidence issues and severe anxiety. If she has a lot of attention upon her, she usually breaks into stuttering. Despite all this however, she is rather kind, and would never hurt anyone unless necessary.

She is a firm believer of the society and believes that the compact and colour caste society is just. She is a pacifistic Optimist. She wants to believe there is chance for peace/non violent ways to end the conflict though with ever day that seems further and further away from a possibility.

Early life
Celestia au Nyx was born to Minos and Esmeria au Nyx on the 3rd of February. She was the second daughter, and an unwanted one. Both Minos and Esmeria wanted a son. Minos wanted a son to have a son to teach him the fine art of Womanizing. Esmeria wanted a son who could make their family proud. And not just a forgettable offshoot family of House Nyx.

Celestia, was neither of this and her parents decided that her only purpose would be to be married away to some other house to gain power and influence for House Nyx. Her mother decided that she would take it upon herself to teach the young Celestia some proper manners. She was kind, and detested violence. A pacifist, but no reformist. She believed in the society wholeheartedly. But detested the pain and suffering war caused.

Her father, when not drunk or deep inside a woman. Which was rarely, taught her the fine art of the razor. Her fighting style being unique in its way. Focusing on incapacitation rather than killing. It was clumsy then, And still is as she is not a very skilled razor master.

Celestia's older sister drowned when out sailing in the Venusian Seas around the Night Isles under highly suspicious circumstances. Though no one could ever determine if it was Suicide or murder. This began Celestia´s self doubt, because if her perfect sister who was much stronger, braver, and superior to her in all ways could drown and die. What would she even be able to do?

Institute
The day Celestia got the letter to the institute, was both the happiest day in her life, but also the day she thought her Fate had been sealed. Not that she knew anything about the inner goings of the Institute, but instead the fact that she knew that not everyone who walked in, came out. And she thought, as weak as she was. She would be one of those to never return.

She was a lowDraft. She was weak, detested violence but smart and the proctor of House Minerva took a liking to her. And thanks to her intelligence, and the proctors approval. She was recruited into House Minerva

That night when she was thrown into the room. She had instantly understood her purpose, her suspicions had been right. She was not intended to survive. Instead fall prey to a big and very dangerous looking high draft. Celestia did not give herself up without a fight and using her wits she managed to come out victorious.

Institute (for reals)
Celestia made it into the institute of Venus as a member of House Minerva. She began off as the usual low draft, following the high drafts around. Running scouting missions for her house along with two others, a mid draft and a fellow low draft. They were the Rangers of House Minerva, neither of them could hold their own in battle. But they were smart and cunning. Scheming.

Such as very soon after discovering another house, House Diana, they would watch the other house´s patrols. Always staying hidden. Until one day they had dug a trap, and managed to capture the patrol. Five young golds of House Diana. Two of them, High Drafts.

The hunting party of 3 knew they wouldn't be able to fight against their prisoners. And they would have to take them away before a new patrol came and discovered them. So they utilized deception. Acted as if there were actually at least a large number of Minervans around them and faced with what they thought was unbeatable odds. Even the Highdrafts became obedient. They were the first slaves of house minerva and would help in the rising to glory of the house minerva. This tactic would continue, Lure, Trap, Pretend to be a large force, capture. And repeat. It had been continued until their enemy had stopped sending out patrols. And that's when house minerva would Strike.

Though no one had yet earned Primus' badge, the de facto leader of House Minerva had caught a liking to Celestia and offered her a position as a commander of "guerrilla and unconventional tactics". Celestia had declined. First because she didn't see the Rangers of House Minerva as a guerilla tactics group. And while she had been the leader, She certainly didn't want to have command. Having Command meant responsibility. Responsibility was something Celestia couldnt handle. Command was given to someone else, the MidDraft, and Celestia was made an Advisor to the Primus herself. Though there wasn't much advice an emotional wreck such as Celestia could give.

Celestia's first love would be a man in the Institute, A fellow Minervan. A charming mid draft from a house full of pixies. He was charming and charismatic at first. But all love she had for him would dissapear when he would rape her.

As the year went on and House Minerva grew in power, her rangers long disbanded at the death of its commander, Celestia would begin work with artillery and other long range things, which would allow her to stay far away from battles. Which fit her alright.

Eventually House Minerva would fall and she would be made a slave. She did as she was told, which included being used for her "masters '' more unsavory and not so child friendly purposes. Once House Jupiter won and its primus declared ArchPrimus. Celestia would somehow receive a scar for her efforts. Despite never once as much as hurting a single person.

Post Institute
When Celestia would return from the institute, Her mother had been divorced and replaced by a new woman. But she didn't see her much since Celestia, despite her less than favourable father, would be picked up by Kronos au Nyx, who bought her Lancer Contract and sponsored her at the academy.

It was upon recieving her scar and the prestige and expectations it meant thhat her self confident thoroughly crashed. She didnt feel she deserved it and that she could never life up to the expectations set by it. Her self confidence hit an all time low.

Academy
At the academy Celestia would delegate command of the fleet to someone else, as again, she didn't want the responsibility. She would serve as the Executive officer of the fleet and enjoyed the position. They would make their way through, and grow their fleet slowly. However towards the end the Commanding officer grew reckless and sent all their forces into a trap. They would be the third to last fleet to be destroyed. And did not win the academy. Though that was to be expected.

Celestia would return from the Academy, to see her father was dead, and she had two half-siblings. She would take care for the kids for the time being until being sent out into service during the Solar War.

Solar War
Celestia would be brought into a position of command in the 34th "Alces '' Logistic Support fleet. Also called the Beasts of Burden. The fleet was relatively small, consisting of Several Large Cargo ships, as well as several Fuel Tankers. Celestia served alongside the Fleets second in command Denemiterus au Tilaeus aboard a destroyer as the main logistics officer of the whole fleet. A waste of her talents to some, But the perfect job for her, as she would not have to engage in combat or make any actually important decisions. All to avoid having to confront her anxiety.

The Fleet would be destroyed around the time of Operation Prometheus. And Both Celestia and Denemiterus would Survive. Though not the Fleets Praetor.

Masquerade
Celestia came to the masquerade dressed as Laka, the polynesian goddess of Hula. Celestia would embarrass herself infront of Sheba au Grimmus, but both Aeolus au Ignis and her cousin Aurelion au Nyx would try to save her. She would reunite with Aurelion after not having seen eachother since she went to the academy.

Appearance
Celestia au Nyx is rather short compared to the average gold. Not necessarily super short. But Certainly below average. She has a rather kind face, only ruined by the scar. Her skin colour is darker than her cousins. She has from time to time tried to hide her scar as she feels the scar puts unnecessary attention on her. Her eyes are the colour of a rather light Yellow. And her hair is blonde and rather long.

She is rarely seen without atleast one flower in her hair.

Razor
Celestia au Nyx´s razor: The personal razor of the forgettable Nyx. It was commissioned by Celestia au Nyx after she had earned a scar from the institute. The handle is of a simple design without any special motifs, it is a mix of bronze, gold and very shiny black metal. areas meant for holding have a black, softer material which makes holding the razor more comfortable. Another part about the handle is that the handle can be extended about 10 cm to get to a total length of about 35 centimetres. there is an additional grip. Allowing the user to use two hands, which plays into Celestia's... "unique" fighting style. The blade in whip form is 2 meters long, and the same shiny black material. On the razors "wire" are golden leaves. These are made from a material that can variate from Soft and dull to stiff and incredibly sharp, such as the razor itself. This allows the user to handle the razor, and touch the razors blade without getting their hand cut up. In sword form the blade is about 1 meter and 20 centimetres. The blade is thicker than in whip form, but still round, this makes it a bit like a rapier, which it was based on. Letting for easier stabbing motions. The golden leaves take on each side to make for a sharp edge. using the fact that the leaves are as sharp as they are to create an serrated edge which allows it to well, Be used as a normal sword!. The razor is more meant to look pretty than actually be practical. The golden leaves when stiff inhibit the whips movement slightly. So sometimes it is needed to soften them to do something like making it go around a limb, Which in the heat of a battle could be easily forgotten.

In sword form the fact that it is a mix of a traditional sword (through the leaves) and a rapier (through the normal blade) means it isnt as good as a dedicated rapier or a more normal, medieval style sword.

Abilities and Skills
Celestia au Nyx, while not unskilled with the razor. Is far from the best. Her style of fighting is unique, but rather sloppy and unrefined. Her dislike of violence casues her to often not go and train her razor. Avoiding fights of all sorts.

She did attend the academy and learned some valuable skills there. And despite being delegated a rather irrelevent position in a fleet. She made the best of it and learned additional skills as a subpraetor. Celestia has however never gotten the chance to show off her abilities and therefore just becomes forgotten about by everyone as she is irrelevent.
