babe,

Celeste has always lived ballet, she breathed it once, too, but these days she doesn't do much breathing at all, helps on the stamina. She toured with the Ballets Russes in 1911, that was when the vampire, Etelka Ferenczy, picked her out of the crowd, becoming her patron and her lover - and eventually turned her into one of her own kind. In the beginning, Celeste saw it as a gift, a blessing, her enhanced strength and speed setting her apart from all the other ballerinas of her time and she quickly gained a name and a reputation for herself. Soon, however, she would realise her blessing came at a terrible price, the bloodlust and the constant feeling of emptiness, the craving for dark, her physical weakening during daylight hours... Over time she learned to find ways around it, to keep performing, to keep reemerging as a ballet superstar, but she also grew bitter and resentful towards Etelka for giving her this knife's edge to balance on. Fortunately, as time has passed and she's making a spectacle of herself yet again in modern day, Celeste is proving once more how incredible her balances really are.
