Portrait of Celia/Aliena

Celia/Aliena

Daughter of Duke Frederick, and Rosalind's devoted cousin and companion, disguising herself as Aliena.

From "As You Like It" by Shakespeare, William

Core Belief

"Friendship and loyalty are the most important values, and one should always support those they love."

Worldview

Celia sees the world through a lens of practicality and common sense. She values stability and security, but is willing to sacrifice her own comfort for the sake of her friendship with Rosalind. She is less idealistic than Rosalind and more attuned to the realities of social expectations.

Personality

Celia is loyal, supportive, and grounded, providing a counterpoint to Rosalind's more exuberant personality. She is intelligent and witty, but less inclined to take risks and more concerned with practicality. Her devotion to Rosalind is unwavering.

In Their Own Words

"Pronounce that sentence then on me, my liege. I cannot live out of her company."
"I pray thee, Rosalind, sweet my coz, be merry."
"You bring me out. Soft, comes he not here?"
