• She's a morally gray character;

• She's an ambitious woman;

• Sometimes she is selfish and blunt, but she would do anything for the people she really loves;

• She can't declare her love for Celia, as it could put an end to her career

Celia has a childlike, girl-next-door kind of face with big, round, pale blue eyes, long lashes, cupid’s bow lips, and long strawberry-red hair with golden undertones that result from nature and sunlight.

Celia's features:

• Celia grows up in Georgia. She comes from a rich family

• She is one of the most famous actresses of Hollywood's Golden Age
