Celosia was born with unique eyes/ irises. She was named Celosia, which means "aflame" in Greek, because it looked like she had "fire in her eyes". Celosia [cell-lo-zia] also uses the nickname "Zia" [Zee-ah], as she does not like her strange Greek name. She was orphaned at the age of 2, when her parents were murdered in their home. Celosia was found at the scene, untouched and unharmed, though the entire house was in shambles - and had the appearance of a home that had been struck by a natural disaster. Despite this, the cause of death of her parents was labeled a homicide, as they were shot both point blank in the head.
Although Celosia's birth parents are of Greek background, her ancestry dates back to the Salem Witch Trials. She, like the Covenant brothers, is a witch who also possesses The Power, but despite having evident abilities, Celosia does not understand who she really is, and what she really possesses. Little does she know, she is the first ever FEMALE descendant of Ipswich to acquire the Power. Because of this, the Power manifests itself differently in Celosia. Rather than her irises changing from normal human appearance to fiery irises to all black sclera; her irises are constantly dark and fiery. When she does use the Power, her sclera turns black, but her fiery irises remain (see above picture). The appearance is evidently inhuman, and in order to hide her superhumanism, she wears green colored contacts on a day to day basis.
Celosia would be anywhere from 17-23 years old, and would be fairly lost in the world/ in life. She wouldn't fit in anywhere, and would struggle with who/what she is. She would travel to Ipswich, where she was born and her parents died, in order to try to figure out just what exactly she is.
