Celes ChreCeles Chre or Celes Chere is a fictional character in the video game Final Fantasy VI. Before she joins the player's party, she is General Celes of the Empire. She was genetically enhanced and artificially infused with magic. "Product of genetic engineering, a battle-hardened Magitek Knight, with a spirit as pure as snow . . . " Celes is first seen in Terra's flashback, but the player doesn't yet learn who she is. That happens when Locke rescues her from a basement under the rich man's house in South Figaro. She has been imprisoned there for alleged treason against the Empire. In the Magitek Factory, when Kefka attacks the players, Celes rescues them by warping Kefka, his soldiers, and herself to another location. However, this makes the other player characters suspicious of her. The next time she is seen is in Albrook, where she is again an Imperial general. However, in Thamasa, Celes rejoins the party. She proves her loyalty on the Floating Continent when Kefka gives her a sword with which to attack the player characters and she instead attacks Kefka. She flees with the others when Kefka moves the Statues, bringing destruction to the world. Celes is the starting character in the World of Ruin. She wakes up on an island with only Cid, who has been taking care of her for the last year. Depending on the player's actions, she can either succeed or fail in keeping him alive while he is ill. If she succeeds, Cid shows her a raft and urges her to leave to find her friends. If she fails, she attempts suicide by jumping off a cliff, then sees a bird with Locke's bandana, finds Cid's raft, and leaves. If the player finds Locke, he and Celes share an ending in the credits, during which Locke saves her from falling off a ledge. Runic Celes's Runic command allows her to abosorb the next spell cast, turning it into MP for her to use. This ability works on the next spell cast, so it could absorb a friend or foe's spell. Celes must have a Blade weapon equipped, or the ability will not work. Music Celes is the only character in the game who is introduced without her theme music; instead, the song "Under Martial Law" is playing. It's not until after her perfomance in the Opera that Celes's theme makes an appearance. In "Final Fantasy VI: Original Sound Version," Celes's theme is called "Celes" -- disc 1, track 18. It is a leitmotif of the track: - Aria Di Mezzo Carattere -- 2, 8
In addition, her theme appears in the track: In the game, Celes's full name is only shown in all majuscules. As such, the presence or absence of any accents is speculation. Official Squaresoft romanization of Celes's name uses no accent marks. Chre
