Cenia Claus
In a perfect storybook, the world is brave and good.
A hero takes your hand, a sweet love will follow.
But life's a different game, with sorrow and with pain.
Only you can change your world tomorrow!
"Let your smile light up the sky!
Keep your spirit soaring high!"
Trust in your heart, and your soul shines forever and ever!
Hold fast to kindness, your light shines forever and ever!
I believe in you, and in me!
We are strong!
When once upon a time, in stories and in rhyme...
A moment you can shine and wear your own crown...
Be the one that rescues you!
Through the clouds, you'll see the blue!
About
Cenia Claus, formerly known as Celeste Yuno, is a healer hailing from the land of Hoshido. Several years ago, a young Celeste caught the eye of her regional lord. When she rejected him, he didn't take kindly to this and began abusing his power against Celeste's family, continuing to push the taxes on her family's farmland higher and higher in an effort to strongarm her into accepting his proposal. Rather then do this, she ran away from home; and thus the lord had no reason to bully her family. She ended up falling in with a rather corrupt church; her bitterness, sadness, and frustration towards being forced to leave home changing the formerly polite farmgirl as she took part in this corruption, assassinating anyone the church ordered her to, under the moniker "The Maiden of Eternal Sleep."
During her time at the church, she would be ordered to mentor 2 young orphan recruits, both barely entering their teens: Altarf (Alte) Oller; (nicknamed Tempust) and his partner, a fellow Hoshidan by the name of Grace.
Unknown to the cold-hearted maiden, this arrangement would prove to her salvation. Alte's stubborn attitude and constant questioning of orders would eventually make celeste think herself... and when Alte and Grace launched a coup against those associated with the church, she took her chance and fled.
For months she'd wander, putting her knowledge of plants to use with herbal medicine. However, her guilt would grow, sending her into an intense depression. But thankfully, a passing mage would take pity on her...
and would use magic to alter her memories.
Celeste would be no more, and she would take up the new life of the traveling healer Cenia. Her childhood life in Hoshido would still be intact, but her name and memories of her assassinations would be changed, Cenia remaining in blissful ignorance for 2 years.
In those 2 years, she would find herself in Nohr healing innocents caught in the war, unable to cross the border back into Hoshido due to the war itself. This turned out to be a blessing, as she would stumble across the traveling paladin, mercenary, and vagabond-noble, Alex Claus. when the village they were staying in was targeted by Nohrian soldiers, the two would lead as many people as they could from the village away, through a snowy mountain pass across the border into the neutral country of Nestra. Away from Nohrian territory, the villagers would rebuild, and Alex and Cenia would fall in love and marry, even starting a family with a baby girl they would name Scathach.
However, Cenia couldn't stay unaware of her past for long. Eventually, she would be found, by both the lord who had sought her hand, and her former charge, Alte. the spell on her memories would break, and Cenia would remember the truth of her past.
But rather then fall back into depression, she would eventually put a stop to her doubts, deciding to face her sins, and atone. However, she would continue to keep the name Cenia, believing the name of Celeste to be best left in the past.
Now, cenia offers her expertise with healing potions and staves to the people of her village and surrounding ones, and to the Order of Heroes, under the command of summoner Mayura Evans; all while fussing over her ever-growing family of her husband and his siblings, her daughter, and her and Alex's various friends.
Supports
Alex ( @RighteousSpear ) -
Cenia's husband, and her own fairytale prince charming. Though his constant wanderlust and need for adventure can tire Cenia out, she'll always say that Alex's free spirit is one of his best features.
Scathach ( @MonsoonAtamasco ) -
Cenia and Alex's daughter, raised in the deeprealms. Able to wield the Gae Bolg lance like her father, she can be a bit more blunt.
... Cenia supposes she gets it from Alex's side of the family.
Merina ( @SeraphicDreamer ) -
Alex and Nova's younger half sister, age 13, born from a different mother in their father's many affairs, and raised on the Ylisse-Plegia border. When her mother is killed by Plegian bandits, she escapes to the castle owned by Alex and Nova's family, and later is taken in by her 2 older siblings and older sister-in-law.
Kai ( @ZealousNoban ) -
Alex and Nova's younger half brother, age 14. unlike his more sweet-tempered half sister, kai can be crass and blunt, even moreso than scathach, and prefers the axe to the lance. the issues of his parentage led to him being closed off and downright a bully at times, but he's come to open up a bit, and cenia was pleasently surprised to learn of his talents in the kitchen, and is always willing to accept his help when he offers.
Nova ( @StarlitNoban ) -
alex's twin sister, and someone cenia considers a very dear friend and sister in her own right. the two women are always willing to come to the other's aid.
Nocturne ( @FuturisticIngis ) -
Nova's wife, full of sass. her antics, especially when sparring with lyra, always causes the healer to give a huff.
Kitten ( @AdoptedClause ) -
Nova and Nocturne's adopted daughter. she has a good relationship with her adoptive family, including her two "cousins", kai and merina. thanks to kitten's slight idolization of thor, and nova and cenia's homeschooling, she's become quite the bookworm.
Thor ( @EternaISage ) -
a family friend, turned surrogate child. despite the fact he's a young adult, cenia is the closest he's ever had to a mother, and she treats him much like a foster son. she still respects his quiet nature and intelligence, but she's always willing to give him her aid.
Lyra ( @SwordofStars ) -
thor's girlfriend and cenia's surroate "daughter". cenia cares deeply for the young swordswoman...
but has banned her from ever setting foot in the claus households kitchen.
Alte ( @GaIeDemon ) -
cenia's former charge while they were with the church. she's grateful to him for both indirectly convincing her to leave, and giving her the chance to make her own life. she doesn't consider herself much of a mentor to him, then or now, but her door is always open.
Grace ( @AnamnesisArcher ) -
alte's partner, who was also under cenia's care. a fellow hoshidan knowledgeable on medicinal plants, she'll sometimes help cenia in the Order's infirmary, or simply sit with her to chat in a slow moment.
Mayura ( @HeroicSummoner ) -
Cenia's summoner at the order of heroes. she trusts her command, and appreciates that mayura respects the truth and secrecy of her past.
