Celes

Celes is an Einherjar from Valkyrie Profile 2: Silmeria. She is a Light Warrior and can be found in the Serdberg Mountain Ruins.

A princess of Dipan, Celes commanded the country's troops in the War of Camille Hill from 573 C.C. to 576 C.C. Her myriad battle tactics earned her a position as one of the Seventeen Commanders of Camille and also earned her the moniker "Warrior Princess Celes". After the war, she married the lord of Lassen and lived a peaceful life. However, in 581 C.C., the Rosetta Dynasty, a power existing in the south continent, launched an invasion under the orders of the court mage, Xehnon. Two of Rosetta's generals, Adonis and Ehrde, were sent to capture Celes while her husband was away. Although she managed to kill Adonis, Ehrde was successful in kidnapping her. This battle, known as the Lassen Invasion, was the cause of the Year-Long War, which ended with the whole continent's involvement. Celes eventually joined Xehnon's cause and participated in this war as Eclipse General of the Knights of the Sun, formerly Adonis' title. They fought against Dipan's navy, which was said to be ten times the size of their army. Near the end of the Year-Long War, she was wounded at the Battle of Rosetta by her younger sister, Phyress, Queen of Dipan. She died two years later as a result of the wound.

Celes' battle prowess was such that, about a century later, the rebel leader Tyrith claimed descendance from her. After being released, however, Celes states that she is still trapped in the past and cannot teach anything to the people of her time, even though she does enjoy reading about herself in history books. She tells Alicia that she is now the princess of Dipan and therefore has the right to choose her own path: it is both her duty and one of her only indisputable privileges. She also tells her that she sees traces of her older brother in her.
