Headcannons and such
Ok will just kinda go down the list as they come to me 1)Being the older sister Celina has always felt a certain sense of responsibility for Emmanuele.She remembers her parents sitting her down when she was only 8 and her sister barely 3 and explaining to her that Emmanuele was not quite right in the head.As kind and giving as Celina was her little sister was ruthless and calculating. Even so knowing the secrets of their family and knowing that her mother's line reached back to Dahut and her father's side of the family had even deeper roots towards Ireland it gave her a sense of responsibility and purpose very early on. 2)Having this sense of responsibility to her family as mentioned above there are instances when she can almost seem....I hesitate to say childish but I suppose it's the best word for it.She grew up and fast not really having the proper time to know more of the fun side of life. When she is at a party and not driven by duty it becomes an interesting experience.Given time to relax and...well probably more than just one or two drinks you would not recognize her.She smiles she laughs she fairly glows with utter exuberance and joy.Much like how we first see Mary light up the party in season 1 is the best way I can think to describe her. 3)as for her own affairs of the heart...she is cagey and wary whom she comes to trust.Too many secrets to fall into the wrong hands and there had been still the matter of her sister to look after.She had loved once but in the end he had proven unworthy of her affection or trust. 4) For a noble lady from Brittany she has been given a rather unorthodox education.She has learned business from her father.First wines and then medicinal herbs which he procures from various sources.Often before Emmanuele came into their lives she would get to go to sea with her parents.Some of her most precious memories are of those early years. Her mother is no lady to sit idle and let men do all of the fighting.Alexandria actually was not born in Brittany but grew up there. Skill with a blade is something that Celina inherited and she has a great fondness for blades of all shapes and sizes.She has every now and again worked with their local blacksmith Robert to craft blades meant for a lady's protection. 5)as much as she loves her sister there is a certain amount of deep resentment there as well.It was after Emmanuele was born that Celina's life turned sideways and she was made into her sister's gaoler. It was only after she found Emmanuele cutting open a live chicken with a stone that she truly understood there was something not right with her.And why her parents had her watching.For some reason or another Emmanuele responds to her more than her own parents. 6)after the flood despite her parents placing no blame upon her Celina blamed herself for Emmanuele's dissapearence.Amid the torrential storms that plagued Brittany that year the pair had become separated.Celina had actually nearly died of chest inflammation (bronchitis)from wandering out in the weather searching for her sister.
