Description
Celia Cumani Aintree is a central figure in the world of Walkure Romanze, standing as a third-year student at Winford Academy, where she majors in the Knight Department and holds the prestigious position of student council president. She is the eldest daughter of the influential Aintree Duke family, a prominent noble house within the country, and she carries the weight of that legacy with natural grace. Her reputation precedes her as a jousting prodigy, having won the academy’s tournament in both her first and second years, a feat that has earned her the respect and admiration of nearly the entire student body.
In terms of personality, Celia is most often seen as the model of a dignified and serene young woman. She treats everyone she meets without prejudice, a quality that, combined with her remarkable beauty and talent, makes her immensely popular. Despite her high status and formidable skills, she is not aloof; she is known for being approachable and wise, often offering sound advice to her peers. She harbors a strong sense of pride and self-reliance, preferring to overcome challenges on her own rather than depend on others, which can sometimes make her seem distant or overly serious. However, this formidable exterior hides a softer, more private side. Celia has a well-known secret passion for collecting teddy bears, a hobby that causes her composed demeanor to completely transform into one of passionate enthusiasm; her room at home and even the student council office are filled with these stuffed animals.
Celia's primary motivation is to embody the family motto that a knight must be strong. She has dedicated herself diligently to the art of jousting since childhood, driven not just by talent but by a rigorous work ethic. Her role in the story is largely defined by her position as an untouchable champion and a leader at Winford Academy. Initially, she never had a begleiter, or squire, but she eventually requested the help of Takahiro Mizuno, a former apprentice of her older brother, Julianus, who was himself a renowned knight. This decision marks a significant shift in her journey, as it requires her to rely on another person.
Her key relationships are central to her character. She holds her older brother, Julianus, in high regard as a mentor figure. Her bond with Takahiro is particularly significant; he becomes her squire, and their relationship deepens as she learns to trust his support as a knight. Among her peers, she feels a strong sense of responsibility as student council president, particularly towards students like Reina, and feels a great deal of relief and happiness when she is not alone but accompanied and supported by those around her. While she appears confident and lonely at the top, she finds genuine happiness in shared victories and camaraderie.
While Celia begins as an almost untouchable paragon of knightly virtue, her character development revolves around opening up to others. She has felt very alone for a long time due to her unparalleled success, but through her interactions and growing reliance on her squire and friends, she learns that winning is not everything and that there is value in learning from loss and accepting support. This journey allows her to feel a deeper sense of happiness than her simple victories alone ever provided.
As a jouster, Celia's abilities are nothing short of exceptional, earning her the highest S rank in technical skill. She is the owner and rider of her own horse, named Licht, with whom she shares a perfect harmony. Her fighting style combines innate talent with meticulously trained movements, allowing her to act quickly and without waste. Her signature technique often ends matches by knocking the feather plume from her opponent's helmet. She wears a custom-made suit of High Gothic armor, forged in Italy by the master craftsman MATTEOGRASSI, which is designed to be lighter and more decorative than standard steel armor, allowing for greater agility.
