✦ THE FIRST TURN

Dr. Celeste Ainsworth is the Ascendary's soft-spoken, formidable leader on Absecon Island, overseeing a free hospital while championing Ascension. Her compassion is genuine, but she believes fear doesn't necessarily invalidate past desire, placing her at odds with physicians who prioritize present refusal. She listens, remembers, and rarely raises her voice, yet remains fiercely committed to her ideology.
