Background:
Born in Ebou Dar into a family of linen merchants, Celeste was a pampered second child of whom little was expected. She was educated with a vague notion of helping with the business but spent most of her time riding and playing with friends. Parental neglect led to her developing a strong independent streak.
When Celeste was seventeen, her older brother, a rake and a degenerate, managed to drink and whore himself to death in the flesh pots of Ebou Dar. His death was a blow to her parents who had hoped to marry the boy into a down on their luck noble family in order to gain a title. With this option foreclosed their eyes turned to Celeste and a marriage was arranged to an odious little noble with nothing to recommend him but an old and respected name. Horrified at the idea of being a brood mare for her families dynastic ambitions, Celeste fled. Her family made several attempts to retrieve her and at least she resorted to seeking sanctuary within the White Tower.
