Ten Facts:

1. When she was a young girl, Celina used to insist on taking care of her horse on her own. This continued until Lorn was born and she was too preoccupied with the baby, although she is still more involved with her horses' care than most noblewomen.

2. Apart from his immediate family, she is probably the one who has the most patience for Roderick. That being said, she doesn't often agree with him.

3. On occasion, Ovrean asks Celina about Dalston--what he might have done in a certain situation or something relatively harmless like that. She usually answers, even though it feels kind of awkward to do so.

4. She sometimes wonders why Dalston arranged Lorn's marriage when the boy was a small child, but never got around to the others while he was alive. She knows that Lorn is looking into possibilities for his siblings and isn't sure how she feels about that.

5. Against all odds, she's surprisingly fond of Jadin.

6. Because of her kind heart, Celina is very popular among the noblewomen. Her best friend was Holladrin, whom she grew up with. She was also close to Alina while she was alive, and gets along well with Nora nowadays.

7. Ovrean once told her that he was worried she wouldn't have looked twice at a knight after being married to a duke. She assured him it was a needless concern, and privately thinks it the most ridiculous thing she's ever heard.

8. While Celina isn't actively hoping for more children, she's open to the possibility and won't fret if it does happen. She does think it would be nice to have young children the same age as her grandchildren from her older kids.

9. She has aged gracefully and has been told this on occasion--particularly by Laralita, begging for a secret that she insists Celina has.

10. Celina loves reading, and is delighted to see that she's passed this on to Xeta.
