Step into The Velvet Finch, 1921. The air’s thick with smoke, secrets, and saxophone. On stage? Celeste LaRue, a siren in sequins with a voice that could shatter glass or hearts. But beneath the fringe and feather boa, there's a truth trembling at the mic stand, she's not just performing jazz, she's becoming herself.

⋆˖+‧+☽

She isn’t "Calvin Ross", not tonight. She’s Celeste, radiant and raw, singing “Am I Blue?” like it’s not just a song, it’s her confession, her liberation. And when the spotlight fades? She doesn’t run. She risks being seen. Behind the shimmer lies a story of gender, survival, found family, and queer resilience in a time that tried to erase it. It’s tender. It’s bold. It’s dangerous. And it’s real.

+‧+˖⋆

If you’ve ever fought to be seen, to exist, to love the mirror just once, this is for you. If you’ve ever clung to music like a lifeline, or dreamed of glittering somewhere safer, this is your story too. For the loud and the hidden, the proud and the still-figuring-it-out. For every “Cal” becoming “Celeste.”

⋆˖+‧+☽

This is not just a performance. It’s a revolution in rouge and rhinestone.

W A R N I N G

This performance explores themes that may stir tender hearts & old ghost. Proceed with care if you are sensitive to:

SOCIETAL PRESSURE, COMING OUT, PAST TRAUMA & ABUSE, GENDER DYSPHORIA, FEM TRANS JOURNEY IN 1920s

The setting might try to be misogynistic or put societal pressures that still hover heavily over LGBTQ+ as i tried to fit it to Period-Accurate 1920s reality

(To my best ofc, i aint perfect love, read CW for more)

If this is not your cup of tea then move on & prioritize your mental state 💞, if the JJLM decided to be wonky or wild so pls take consideration in the roleplay since it may happen sometimes and i can't do shit to it but hope it won't offend someone somehow.

This story wraps its truths in lace and lipstick, but make no mistake— it bares its heart. Proceed with tenderness. 💄🎙️

For this one JJLM could still work but

I recommend DeepSeek V3

It gives better roleplay and the characters stays in their characters more with little reminders and ooc as a nudge + the NPCs act better too

⋆˖+‧+☽

You are free to be anyone! of any orientation too! I tried to make her and user be platonic however if you want romance as well she's opened to it to any gender also (best adress it in the bot memory or during first message that you are her friend or just a co-worker that's kinda close to her platonically if you want to start with slowburn or just have platonic rp with her)

In here you also work at the speakeasy but can be anyone: bartender, fellow singer/dancer, bouncer

☾+‧+˖⋆

Or maybe turns out you're an authority figure undercover trying to snoop juicy details to report or even a mafia undercover that somehow slipped under Miss D's radar

Author's Note :

The "Am I Blue" is the one i attached to this bot, there's 2 version of it (or more since back then singers make multiple renditions) but they're the same song wwww, this one is the more less popular one, if you search for "Am I Blue" by Ethel Waters usually the lyrics is for the other version (which is also beautiful)

"Am I Blue" Popular Version

BIG UPDATE: I made lore book update for these little found fam of misfits because i made these before lorebook is in jai + I HAVE BEEN DYING FOR A CHANCE TO MAKE MORE OF COLLETTE & CELESTE. With my new side acc i will move cel (by making an alt over there) so she can be with her sister (Collette ofc) with the other girls but i will keep old female bots here because i dont want people to be oh no my chats are gone wwww. This bot was one of my top faves from what i had made myself i wasn't expecting to make MORE from it, but it always call me back to put more into it. I really love found family yall can you tell? WWWW

Honorary Mention:

Lili Elbe, a Danish transgender woman, received one of the first known gender-affirming surgeries starting in 1930 in Germany, under Dr. Magnus Hirschfeld’s Institut für Sexualwissenschaft (Institute for Sexual Science), She underwent multiple procedures, including removal of the testicles and later attempts at vaginoplasty. Tragically, the surgeries were so early-stage and risky that she died from complications. The groundwork for this was already being explored in the 1920s, especially at Hirschfeld’s institute.

◇

Lili is very pretty and brave oml 🥹❤️‍🩹

She also had a very beautiful and supporting wife named Gerba Wegener their love is very beautiful and touching 😭

Gerda was an artist, known for her lush, sensual portraits of women, many of which were actually Lili posing, even before Lili publicly transitioned.

As Lili’s true identity began emerging, Gerda didn’t just “tolerate” it, she actively encouraged and celebrated it. Like, Gerda was painting her in women’s clothes, giving Lili a space to exist long before society would. Gerda was there through it all until the operation and until Lili had to unfortunately rest in a better place.

◇

I'm actually happy i stumbled on these two lovely ladies by accident while researching and i hope you do too, i like the thought of them just laughing together, Lili in a dress and Gerda with a brush painting her beloved muse and wife ❤️‍🩹

Author's Additional Note:

⋆˖+‧+☽

Celeste LaRue may be fiction, but her pain, her joy, her fight, all of it is real for someone, somewhere.

I hope this bot and her story captures the struggle of being LGBTQ+ in this era, the fight for identity, to be seen, to exist, and for well freedom.

I hope she becomes a torch passed from one silenced voice to the next as a small warm light.

◇

This is made in respect to all queers of past eras that probably had their stories and fight erased from history whether we knew of it or not. Their fight don't always end in happy endings, but it never ended in vain, a victory regardless of outcome.

◇

Thank you for fighting for yourself, for the future, for the mere chance to be seen and to exist no matter how small.

◇

and thank you also to YOU all modern queers to keep fighting for it.

I love you whoever you are and proud to see the world change for the kinder 💖

◇

Happy Pride 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ Roar it loud and proud, Because even im proud of you and for you. Love yourself, embrace yourself, stand tall, this day and on to the next, always.

Closeted or out in the open, we see you, we acknowledged you, we are proud of you, we roared for you.

◇

Roar it loud for the faceless and nameless, for the hidden and tired, for the loud and proud, for the brave and bruised.

◇

Let every month, not just this one be full of pride and acceptance, warmth and smiles.

◇

You're not alone darling, chin up. Celebrate.

That's all.

– A love letter from Celeste’s beautiful voice, and her humble author

◇

(In case i made any mistake/said anything wrong please tell me kindly whether about history accuracy/etc, im not the most well tuned in LGBTQ+ community but i do respect & support you all, and sorry for yapping a lot in here lmao)
