Cestia

Cestia is the heir to the Red Kingdom throne, although she is actually the current Red Monarch after Chtomio. She is currently in a relationship with Asheva.

Appearance
Cestia has pale skin, black hair, and blue eyes. In Samaris, she wore the clothing of the Ashis. After the Siege, she wore different clothing still associated with the Ashis. She no longer wears a mask after joining Asheva's army.

Personality
Cestia is shown to greatly care about her Kingdom and her citizens. She is also shown to be quick-witted and sharp.

Pre-Series
Cestia was born to Chtomio and Sybilla in Samaris as an Ashi. It is unknown if her brother is her older brother or her younger brother.

Kingdom of Deceit
Cestia was first seen at the Ferya with her father and Oris, waving to the Janis caste before going back into Samaris. She was later seen during a party before the Feast of Candles, watching a jugglar before being hit on by Erai, who invites her to dance with him. She deflects him by saying that the Kingdom cannot thrive when children do not have enough food. When she notices "Chtomio" (Asheva), she asks him to stop following her and he says he agrees with her about the children not having enough food (as Asheva has spent a few hours with some Janis). As Cestia asks Asheva to dance with her, Erai initates a fistfight between him and Asheva, as he claims that Asheva "might be a Janis is disguise". The fight is broken up by Oris, who threaten to pull of Asheva's mask when "Quadrio" (Chtomio) orders Oris to back down. Cestia watches Asheva leave Samaris, as he is accompanied by Chtomio's guards after Chtomio orders Asheva to return to Violet Territory. During the Siege of Samaris, Cestia falsely belives Asheva murdered her father and Oris after she finds him standing over the two men's corpses. Sometime after the Siege, she became the Red's leader.

Rise of the Harlequin
One year after the events of Kingdom of Deceit, Cestia is first seen riding with her Red soldiers in Violet Territory when she comes across Asheva and his allies.

Trivia

 * Cestia is half-Orange through Sybilla.
 * As of The Seer, she is pregnant with Asheva's child.
 * It was rumored among the Red Kingdom that Adio (Red sea god) gifted Quadrio a mask for Cestia made out a single pearl after her birth. However, this is actually false, as it is likely that Cestia's pearl mask would be actually made from nacre, a material that makes up pearls. How this would be achived is unknown.
