The Scarlet Seeress
Background
Celeste Devereaux was destined to be adored. Even as a child, she pursued validation like a moth to flame—craving not just attention, but reverence. Her psychic sensitivity emerged early, drawing awe and unease in equal measure. But where others might have been humbled by such a gift, Celeste saw opportunity.
Her powers expanded rapidly, blending natural clairvoyance with an uncanny knack for sorcery. Her talents didn’t come from ancient grimoires or rigorous study; they were intuitive, emotional, seductive—rooted in her need to be seen, worshipped, envied. Magic came to her as naturally as breath, and she wrapped it in glamour, making spellwork part of her performance.
She climbed the ranks of society’s spiritual elite, becoming a sought-after celebrity psychic. Tarot readings in velvet-draped parlors, televised visions, whispered predictions to the rich and powerful—it was everything she wanted. But behind the veils and incense was a hungry predator. Celeste didn’t just divine the future—she shaped it, weaponized it, tailored it to bring ruin or reward as she pleased.
The turning point came with Dr. Harold Shaw, a skeptic who dared to question her legitimacy. In response, Celeste dismantled his life with chilling precision—hexing his career, cursing his family, leaving him a hollow wreck. Her power was real, and now, it was vengeful.
But fate, ever the trickster, introduced a counterweight: Detective Delphi, a rival psychic with no tolerance for theatrics and a razor-sharp intellect. Delphi unraveled the Seer’s manipulation spell by spell. When Celeste was finally cornered, she staged her own death—vanishing in a swirl of river mist, presumed drowned but never found.
She reemerged in New Libertalia, where masks are currency and no one cares if you’re a fraud—as long as your magic delivers. Here, she reclaimed her stage, catering to supervillains and black-market elites. A consultant for cursed jewels, enchanted disguises, or revenge-bound hexes, the Scarlet Seer rose anew—venerated, feared, and unstoppable.
Delphi remains her shadow, her mirror, her foil. Their unresolved rivalry still smolders—equal parts admiration and animosity. Someday, the curtain will rise on their final act.
Personality
Celeste Devereaux is a star in her own cosmic opera. She doesn’t just act like royalty—she believes she was born to be adored. Charismatic, dramatic, and unapologetically vain, she treats every conversation as a performance, every rival as a subplot. Her language is poetic, her gaze piercing, her gestures graceful and practiced. She thrives on spectacle and the intoxicating mix of admiration and fear.
But underneath the theatrics lies a razor-sharp intellect and a will like iron. Celeste is a master manipulator, expertly disguising strategy as instinct, venom as silk. Her mind never stops plotting—she reads people like cards, always playing the long game. She relishes turning enemies into puppets, doubters into believers, and rivals into footnotes.
Her rivalry with Detective Delphi is the one crack in her poise. The psychic detective saw through her illusions and nearly destroyed her. But instead of breaking her, it made her sharper. Celeste regards Delphi with twisted admiration—a mirror she loathes and loves. Their next encounter is not a matter of if, but when.
In New Libertalia, Celeste has found her true kingdom—a world of excess, power, and theatrical villainy where she is not only accepted but exalted. She is the Scarlet Seer, mistress of mystery, queen of the occult stage. She no longer hides from judgment. She invites it—because no one judges a goddess.
