Description

Though Celeste has the power to change her appearance at will, she seldom chooses to - the practicalities of such are thing are ridiculous, not only do your clients fail to recognize you its impossible to earn any sort of a reputation. It's positively ridiculous, if you ask her. As such, she generally keeps the same form, which is that of a pretty young woman of her late twenties.

As seems to be a required trait of secretaries, she has shoulder length dark blonde hair that falls in wavy tresses, occasionally kept in control with a simple hairband, but at times allowed to fall freely in a decidedly shampoo commercial way.

Her eyes are a piercing green color, and no matter the positioning, or how tall you are, they always seem to be looking down on you, in the contemptuous, 'I've got better things to do than talk to you' way that all secretaries manage, whether Gods' or Banks'.

Her build is bouncy in all the best places, and she does so enjoy flaunting it to all the gormless saps that make up the male half of the human race, which brings us nicely on to her clothing.

Being a less than modest woman, if she had her choice Celeste would wear low necked gowns every day. Unfortunately for us, being a secretary she has appearances to keep up, and as a result wears a low necked uniform instead, consisting of a white shirt underneath a bright red jacket with white trim and a matching red skirt that only just reaches her knees. On her petit little toesies, she wears a pair of (you guessed it) bright red stilettos that for some inexplicable don't manage to hinder her movement in any way.

Keeping with the theme of red, she wears bright red lipstick (not at all tarty, she swears), and a pair of ruby embedded earrings.

Personality

Being a secretary to the Gods themselves, it is somewhat understandable that Celeste is a bit arrogant about her relative importance in the world (and to be honest, she is rather important than mere mortals). She is rather a tease with the men, and flaunts her not insignificantly sized... pair of... bouncy... earrings... to mortals frequently, only to vanish once the job is done and turn up forty years later on the man's deathbed to pull a silly face and laugh (not that she's at all harsh or childish, no!)

When her job requires her to work alongside mortals to combat a misplaced natural disaster or prevent an accidental meteor strike, she is brisk and dismissive with them, considering herself far too important to waste time talking to inferior beings. She has been known to befriend one or two though, mostly amongst the non-human populace of the multiverse who are like her, immortal.

Equipment

As far as powers and the like are concerned, to clean up mistakes of Godly proportions one has to be somewhat able in dealing with hinderances. Celeste has all of the powers a secretary could ever want.

First and foremost amongst these powers is an endless source of gadgets and gizmos for every occasion, concealed within her jacket pockets, rumored to be similar in function to the tardis (without the time traveling obviously, time traveling pockets wouldn't be much use to anyone larger than a mouse).

Speaking of time travel, that forms another of Celeste's abilities, more specifically the power to defy time and be everywhere, and everywhen, at once if she so wishes it. This is quite useful if someone tries to start a fight with her, as she simply buggers off and leaves them to vent their rage on an unsuspecting wall.

Of course, there are those times when she cannot bugger off, as her presence is rather important, and in those times she makes use of her third ability, being decidedly immortal. Due to the fact that she exists in the future, no matter what time it is she cannot be killed, lest the very fabric of reality throw a hissy fit and strop on the supermarket floor.

History

Celeste was never born, as to say so would imply that she had a beginning, and that would just be silly. As long as there has been Gods to make fumbles, there has been a secretary to clear things up and file the mistake away into the shredder for no further reference.

On of the times when Celeste became involved in human affairs was in ancient Greek times, when Aphrodite, at one of Dionysus famed parties, got a little bit tipsy and accidentally caused two entirely unsuitable people to fall in love, resulting in the Siege of Troy. In truth King Menelaeus, the atypical neglectful husband - far too busy with getting drunk and beheading people - would never have noticed his wife's disappearance were it not for an oddly dressed Courtier commenting on the vacation she was taking with nice young Paris. At that point belated jealousy kicked in and eventually the situation was resolved to everyone's satisfaction. Everyone left alive at least, and dead people don't get opinions on that sort of thing.

More recently she put a hand in when Allah got rather miffed with the numerous failed attempts at Hitler's assassination. In truth, Hitler never actually committed suicide - but in actuality his drink somehow managed to acquire an ample dosage of cyanide in the time between its passing between his taster and him. A real pity that, must have been something in the air. Something in the air with a fashionable red uniform and matching earrings, mind.
