{{ :celica.png?200|}}
  * Player: Danny
  * Pronouns: She/her
  * Race: Eladrin (commonly Spring)
  * Class: Wizard (Bladesinger)

**Appearance**

Celica is a Spring Eladrin, with fair skin and long dirty blonde hair tied back in a loose ponytail, with happy green eyes that never fail to match the confident smile always hiding behind her present expression. She appears to be a younger elf, but who can tell with Eladrin? The only signs of battle Celica shows is a small nick off the edge of her pointed ear. Celica has a tattoo on her throat as well, a dagger tattooed on her by the sailors of the ship that carried to WelMet. She prefers simple but colorful traveling clothes with a studded leather doublet, and keeps her spellbook and rapier close. Her simple attire is flourished with a bright red cape that matches her hair bands. Celica has never been known to change seasons, even in dire times.

**Personality**

Celica is perpetually upbeat, in keeping with her Spring season. No setback is too great to dissuade her from her endless pursuit of helping the helpless, and learning as much knowledge as she can. She’s never let anything get her down, no matter how difficult.

Despite her kind nature and positive attitude, Celica does have a habit of trailing off when analyzing a situation or following a thought, and can occasionally go on long diatribes and explanations that are unneeded - her rants never come from an arrogant or condescending intention however, as she always sees her fellow adventurers as equals in all ways.

Celica is fairly decent at speaking with people and the art of persuasion, though she occasionally can put her foot in her mouth in social interactions when it comes to more prickly adventurers and folk - however, her effervescent nature typically helps with smoothing over any issues in social niceties.

**Full History**

A recent addition from the faraway continent of Civorea, Celica Berrian is an Eladrin adventurer with a talent for the ancient art of Bladesinging. Celica was raised in a town near the old ruins of the Whistling Woods named Shinesong by her parents, who emigrated to Civorea from the Feywild before she was born.

Arafis and Helynna Berrian, Celica’s parents, were kind people who left the Feywild  after the Jubilex Crisis in ages past. Celica was trained in the arts of magic early in her life, as she showed prodigious talent even as a child. While she rigorously trained at the local academy, she enjoyed a happy home life and supportive parents. She was eventually chosen as one of the happy few to learn the ancient Elven Empire art of Bladesinging, a rare art in this age.

Celica gained a reputation quickly in Shinesong for being dependable and kind, as well as intelligent. Her arcane ability, as well as her will to help those in need, distinguished her at the top of her class, earning full marks and becoming an accomplished mage.

Upon Celica’s graduation from the academy, she decided to make her fortune far from her home, help those in need, and learn what secrets could be gained from the horizon. She bid her parents and friends goodbye, and hopped on a ship to Biomia, seeking adventure in the city of WelMet


**Flavor Notes**

  * Celica has a small spectral Raven familiar named Alara. Alara rides into battle on Celica's shoulder most of the time.
  * Celica's Bladesong sounds like a gentle wintertime lullaby.
  * Celica occasionally misses home, but has loved getting to know new people and learning new things on her adventures! She still writes home to her parents occasionally.
  * Celica desperately wants a closer look at Jarxis' arcane weapon - she //thinks// he somehow figured out how to make a Feywild transmutation matrix into a micro-launcher to fire spell scrolls, but she has no idea how he was able to reverse the magical polarity to prevent the whole thing from imploding.
