Celeste Lanoire Pontmercy
You're talking about me?
She goes by Celeste, Celli, Lani, Lottie, or, quite randomly, Strella. To her mother she's Celli, to her father she's Lottie, to her old school friends she's usually Strella, to students she's often Lani... You can basically call her anything you want, just don't call her crazy to her face.
Celeste teaches Divination at the school and you can tell. She's too crazy to be able to teach anything else. She only has one foot in reality and the other is off in a different world, and in typical Divination style, she often starts talking about things she 'sees' and just generally things that aren't there.
At first glance she seems pretty normal - minus her dress sense, but it doesn't take long in the same room as her to realize she's living on la-la land and not earth.
She doesn't have a side in this war - she's pretty neutral all around, because she can't focus on reality long enough to get a clear grasp on what's going on. She sees things and has visions which relate to what's going on, which means she's pretty useful to both sides. And so while she toes the line of what's right/wrong for a professor to be doing, she's much safer kept at Hogwarts where the order can watch her, than out in the real world where Voldemort and his death eater can find, and use her. (Which means Hoggie's mini DE's are the only ones who can get near her.)
Any ideas, any at all, drop 'em below!
