Celestia Grainne

Celestia Grainne or simply Celestia, also known as Her Highness Archduchess Celestia of Estel is the final first generation Imperial Blade and a distant descendant of Fianne Grainne.

Background
Born to a relatively 'middle class' for a Noble House. Celestia went into the military for her own reasons. There, she exhibited control and skills in leadership and strategy. This, and her birth, propelled her into the officer corps and ECHO, where she achieved Echo Soldier First Class.

Biography
She spent the time learning Estellion Combat Arts. She later discovered her parents, in a political ploy, had arranged a marriage with the High Admiral of all Estellion fleets, Vadar the Black Fist. She decided to accept it because it would giver her an edge to raise her rank, compared to other nobles who rose up the ranks through their families or otherwise. She, like all of the military, had heard of Vadar's skill in the Estellion Rival Arts, this motivated her to become a master of the Combat Arts, to compliment her husband. She feared him a brute, but was surprised to just find him anti-social.

They had a child, Seras of the Black Fist, but around that time she sought evidence of Uracca Lilty's death, against Vadar's counsel to the contrary. She was captured by the Estellion Council's troops and sent into exile to Bamboo Grove.
