Celica files

With their combined forces, they repel the would-be kidnappers. Celica thanks the knight for his assistance and for his name, but he merely tells her that he cannot reveal his identity and leaves.

Upon departing Zofia Castle, Celica re-encounters Masked Knight near a mountain path who warns her to take a particular path towards the eastern half of Zofia. Ignoring his warning, she chooses to go through a mountain path, only to nearly be caught out by a landslide. Thanks to the Masked Knight's intervention, Celica is saved, however the landslide completely cuts off Celica from returning to the other side, preventing her from reuniting with Alm in the meantime.

Celica and her party begin their journey north again, though they make a detour when they encounter Palla and Catria embroiled in battle with pirates and vow to help save their sister, Est , from Grieth , a pirate who has been pillaging local villages for years.

Taking a small detour east, Celica and her forces stop Grieth once and for all, recruiting Atlas , a villager who lost relatives to Grieth, Jesse , a mercenary who attempted to rescue Est, and either Sonya or Deen , former henchmen of Grieth. At Grieth's fort, they find a priestess of Mila Irma held captive.

Irma immediately recognizes Celica as princess Anthiese as she bears a striking resemblance to her mother, Liprica. Pledged by Celica, Irma reveals her mother's past: One of Lima IV 's numerous wives, Liprica was forced into marriage with Lima IV and later suffered from illness, dying shortly after giving birth to Celica.

To cheer her up, Irma hands her a circlet that belonged to Liprica, causing her to class change into Princess in Gaiden.

In Echoes , the circlet event does not occur here. Celica eventually arrives at the Temple of Mila, which she finds under the control of a priest of Duma, Mikhail whom her forces defeat. Celica enters the Temple of Mila and finds Mila absent.

In Echoes , Celica finally accepts her role as the last princess of Zofia, Anthiese, and accepts her royal circlet from the Masked Knight who had recovered it from the Duma Faithful. After her coronation, Celica lowers the eastern sluice gate, having the authority and recognition to do so granted by her circlet, and continues north into Rigel to press her investigation.

Learning that Mila is being kept at Duma Tower through the Masked Knight, she sets off in order to unseal her. Along the way, she is confronted by numerous members of the Duma Faithful.

One in particular, Dolth , is defeated, but he plays on Celica's selflessness by telling her that if she continues the route with her friends, they will suffer alongside her. He threatens her by hurting Mae. Celica nearly agrees to follow him back to Duma Temple alone, but the Masked Knight intervenes, killing the Cantor. Unable to contain himself any longer, the Masked Knight removes his mask, revealing that he is actually Conrad, who had miraculously survived the villa fire as well.

Vowing never to sacrifice herself again, Conrad formally joins her party and Celica is overjoyed to be reunited with her beloved half-brother.

Conrad leads her to the Sage Hamlet where she speaks to Halcyon , a banished sage of Duma and Conrad's master. At her request, Halcyon casts a spell on Alm, allowing him to unlock further power by becoming a Hero when he finally desires to accept this blessing.

He also allows Celica to send an astral projection of herself to Alm so she can speak with him. The two reconcile and she admits to Alm that she is indeed the long lost princess, Anthiese.

Rounding Duma's Tower, Celica and her group ascends the tower where Jedah awaits. Jedah shows Celica and her party Mila's current fate. Deep in the basement of Duma's Tower is the remains of Mila in her Manakete form, petrified with Falchion impaled in her head, much to Celica's horror.

Playing off her concern for Alm, whom was at the time being attacked by Draco Zombies , and for her friends accompanying her and the Zofian people should Mila remain petrified, Celica willingly allows herself to be captured by Jedah to spare Alm as well as her own party.

Though Jedah agrees not to kill either group, he warps Celica's party out of the Temple to an unknown location as she is the only person who matters in his plans. After witnessing Alm killing Rudolf, who was revealed to be Alm's father, she tells Jedah that she will willingly offer to surrender her soul to Duma on the condition that Jedah will not harm him and to revive Mila for the sake of the innocent Zofian citizens, and Jedah leads her to a cell in the basement of the Temple.

Alm meeting the imprisoned Celica in the basement of Duma Tower. Alm arrives at the temple bellow Duma Tower, he finds Celica in a cell, and when he tells he that he is going to kill Duma, who has succumbed to the madness all dragons go through near the end of their lives, as requested by Rudolf.

She tries to convince Alm that he should not, fearing that Rigel will be even more barren than it already is without Duma. Jedah allows her to say one final farewell to Alm before offering her soul to Duma.

As she says goodbye to Alm, she confesses to him that her only desire in life is to not want Alm or anyone else to be hurt or killed, and tells him that she wishes that things could have play out differently and that she could have lived a peaceful life in Ram Village with the others.

As Alm continues further into the temple, Jedah reveals to Celica that he never had the power to revive Mila, claiming it was beyond his ability, and that Mila herself sealed Falchion and that mortals have no say in the matter. She is then shocked about Jedah's lie, to which he tells Celica to blame Mila for her displeasure and abandoning Zofia. He then destroys Mila's body, with only Mila's head remaining, then proceeds to sacrifice Celica to Duma by having the latter steal her soul, reducing her into a mindless puppet of Duma.

Jedah then teleports Celica as well as Mila's head to the treasure vault, where they await Alm's arrival to fight him. Upon Alm's arrival, he and the now-possessed Celica clash blades with each other. During the fight, Celica asks Alm to kill her before she can kill him, which Alm is reluctant to do.

After Celica disarms Alm by knocking the Royal Sword out of his hand, Mila's voice instructs Alm to grab Falchion, which he then successfully unbinds the blade from Mila's head. Instructed to trust in Falchion and the two cross blades once more, ending with Alm apparently killing Celica with the blade. As Alm cries over Celica's dead body, magic suddenly lifts Celica into the air, removing the blade and reviving her in the process.

Neither are aware of how the miracle occurred, but like Alm, Celica was told to believe in Falchion. Mila's soul then appears explains that she has no longer any binding to the world as she used her remaining power to revive Celica. Having recognized their resolve and bond, she entrusts Falchion to Alm to end Duma's madness once and for all.

Celica apologizes to Alm for being selfish earlier and the two resolve to stop Duma together. Using their Mila's Turnwheels to open the gate leading to Duma's domain, both Celica and Alm's armies join forces and kill Jedah and his daughters Hestia and Marla , allowing them to finally face Duma.

With their combined powers and Falchion, Duma is slain. On his death throes, Duma sees that humanity is able to lead themselves and entrusts the future to them, knowing that the results of Duma and Mila's beliefs would serve as lessons of the extremes that can occur from vying for strength and pleasure. Celica is a kind and polite person, who is often bold yet refined, but she holds herself back emotionally to an extent after a series of traumatic events and familial loss; as a result, she can come off as cold and stoic, and normally maintain a aura of polite distance, as shown her body language in cutscenes and sprites, which is subtly guarded and closed-off.

She usually regrets showing her raw emotions, especially in the rare moments that she lashes out in anger, bitterness, or even sentiment. Celica feels the need that she has to set aside her emotional candor in order to fulfill her responsibilities as royalty. She is a firm believer in bringing peace without fighting, believing that conflict begets further conflicts.

While she prefers solving matters peacefully, she is more than willing to put her life on the line and fight with her comrades for the sake of protecting them. She will also willingly fight to save others if asked, but will rarely act out in vengeance.

She also has been shown to be clumsy, possibly a trait rubbed off on her by Nomah , and enjoys studying and reading. Often hurt by the fact that she must keep her role secret, even from those she loves, Celica feels that she is solely responsible for shouldering her responsibilities. She often feels very lonely, but believes that her loneliness is selfish when she only ever puts those she cares about at risk. As a result, though she does not outwardly express it, she greatly lacks self-worth and confidence.

This also makes her extremely naive and turns her natural kindness into a crucial flaw, as she will willingly sacrifice herself to the enemy the second her friends are threatened, even when knowing that they cannot be trusted or not even knowing if they would honor their promise in exchange for her compliance. Though she is in a high position as a priestess at Novis Priory and as a princess of Zofia, she values the three other children at the priory and is fairly close to them, especially in the case of Mae who is her best friend.

With the Toyota 86 in production rather than the MR2, however, the lineup of three may have to be changed to CelicaSupra. That said, rumors of a new MR2 persist, and Toyota may have to either axe the runt of the litter or make room for one more. That's not to mention the S-FR concept shown off in either, though by the lack of news on it since, we may be safe in assuming it's dead.

So, what could we expect of a new Celica? Exactly a year later, Masayuki Kai, the assistant chief engineer for the Toyota Supra project, said that while they all want to bring back both the MR2 and the Celica models, justifying new sports cars is only getting more difficult.

In essence, their options will come down to the market's response to what's been their biggest priority, the Supra, jointly developed with BMW to manage costs. Now, while not saying a ton about its other joint-venture sports car, its successor of the Subaru-powered 86, Toyota has filed yet another trademark claim at the PTO for the name Celica, as spotted by CarBuzz.

Dated Jan. Such a recurring development can mean very little, such as some sort of perhaps GR-powered special edition--more like a new branding phase for the Toyobaru--or if you're optimistic enough to consider, even a new sports car continuing where the last Celica left off in over a decade ago. If Toyota would go further than simply retaining the right by using the Celica badge for something new, sticking it to a front-engine rear-drive car like the Subaru BRZ sibling could take our spirit all the way back to when the final third-generation rear-drive A60 Celica left Toyota City.
