Celeste is a character created by Melanie Martinez for her film, K-12. She is a student at K-12 Sleepaway School who is friends with Cry Baby. She is portrayed by Megan Gage.
Life[]
Celeste is first seen on the school bus smoking a blunt. When one of the Blue Boys annoys her by continuously touching her hair, she uses her powers on him, causing his hands to swell up. Later on, she is seen playing tennis with Cry Baby and Angelita. Celeste is the first to notice that a bubble Cry Baby blew caused the tennis ball to float away.
Cry Baby and Celeste notice that Angelita's skirt is stained with blood after she complains about "the worst stomach pain [she has] ever experienced". The three rush to the bathroom to cover it. During the food fight, Celeste hides with Cry Baby, Angelita, and Magnolia under a table. When Magnolia attempts to join in on the action, Celeste discourages her.
Celeste orchestrates a plan alongside her friends and Fleur, a former member of Kelly's posse, to take down Leo and escape the school. However, this plan is foiled when Cry Baby accepts Leo's invitation to the school dance; Celeste appears to be the most disappointed. Leo soon reveals that he knew about their plan and forces the students to dance for hours, likely until they die.
Cry Baby later breaks the spell and frees the students, who all run out of the building. When Lilith appears with the gate to return home, Celeste is one of the first to leave, along with Magnolia, Fleur, and Ben.
During The Trilogy Tour, an image of Celeste's grave can be seen, where is written "RIP CELESTE". It confirms that she passed away.[1]
Personality[]
Celeste is brave, level-headed, and intelligent; she is also studious, and takes charge when The Principal dies, keeping track of what the students do and making sure her friends Cry Baby and Angelita have buried the Principal. She is thoughtful and patient, biding her time to create a master plan to destroy the school so she and the others can escape. However, she is shown to take crap from nobody, to put it bluntly, as when a Blue Boy repeatedly touches her hair she temporarily blows up his hands like balloons. She can also be reckless, and smoked a blunt on the bus.
In Alternative Press magazine, Celeste was revealed to be Aries sun and Pisces rising. Her zodiac sign was described as meticulous, intelligent, practical, analytical, reliable and modest, but also as overcritical, fussy, fastidious, harsh, conservative and judgemental.
