Bio

Celes Chere
Age: 18
Height: 5'9"
Weight: 165 lbs

About (No Spoilers)

     A former General of the Empire, Celes also has the gift of magic like Terra, although she was genetically infused with magicite so she can learn magic abilities without any trouble.  While she may seem weak in some areas, her magic abilities will help you in battle.  She is determined and a strong-willed character yet sometimes she questions her own loyalty and the others have a hard time trusting her as a former General of the evil Empire.

Major Relations

     Celes has a history with the Empire and it appears that she has strong relations with Cid, who takes care of her after the world goes into a period of decline and partial destruction at the hands of Kefka.  Cid is like a guardian to Celes and later on tells her to find the others to prepare for one final confrontation against Kefka.  Celes, as an ex-General of the Empire strongly opposes Kefka for his evil deeds and she and the others hope to defeat him one day to bring peace to the world again.  In addition, Celes seems to have a good friendship with Locke Cole as he rescued her from the Empire and both appear to be good friends throughout the game.  Other than that, Celes doesn’t have good relations with anyone else though.

Character Developments (Spoilers)

     Celes first encounters Locke when he rescues her from the hands of the Empire as they found out she has opposed them.  Later on, Locke brings Celes along to meet the others and she claims that she was a former General of the Empire.  While the others have a hard time trusting her, Locke appears to believe her and later on Celes does appear to betray the others but later on manages to side against the Empire.  A strong-willed character, Celes is willing to go after the Empire at any cost but her looks can deceive people in thinking that she is a fragile character.  Her magic abilities are useful, without a doubt and throughout the game; she remains an important character, even taking the lead role for a temporary period in the game.

Review

     Celes is a solid magic user overall although, I believe Terra is much better in terms of magic power though, as she has the added advantage of her “Morph” command.  Anyways, Celes does have a unique battle command called “Runic”.  It can be used to absorb magic at times, although it shouldn’t be used a lot, it works well in only certain situations though.  Celes is a decent character although her personality is all right and her role in the game can range from important to VERY important as she becomes and central character of the game in Terra’s absence for some time.

Weapons/Armor

     Celes, while not a great physical attacker, does have the ability to equip heavy armor and use swords as weapons like Terra and Edgar.  She also can equip some swords, which enable her to use her “Runic” magic in battle, and she is similar to Terra in terms of physical strength as they can both equip similar weapons and armor.  Decent character in battle but don’t rely too much on physical attacks with her as there are better options available.

    *NOTE: Value is the price you must pay for it, if it's "1", you can find it as an item.
     If "???" is the attack power value, the value will change on varying conditions such as level.
