Celeste Roth

Celeste Roth was a person from the 10,000 Dawns. Like all other 10,000 Dawns residents, early on in the war, she was abducted out of time and space by the painted warriors and then turned into fiction by Auteur using the gauntlet.

Although she and Graelyn Scythes had never even met, Celeste replaced Graelyn as Archimedes Von Ahnerabe in movies that filtered Arch and Graelyn's adventures together, due to Graelyn herself not having been fictionalised. In these movies, she was played by Phoebe Waller-Bridge. In Archimedes: Skymetal, she was pivotal in helping Arch stop an underwater base from being blown up by an agent of the Firmament (depicted in the films as an "evil cult"), fixing her rocket-boots mid-fall after being thrown off a bridge and then disarming the bomb. In a later film, based on an adventure Arch and Graelyn had in World War II, she rescued him from Doctor Von Badguy II's base alongside "Canadian, British and American forces".

Eventually, Graelyn remembered the truth about how Auteur's Town had come to be, and coaxed Archimedes out of the movie screen after secretly rescreening one of the old Archimedes films. To her surprise, Celeste Roth came out of the screen as well, revealing herself to be a real person rather than a purely fictional replacement for herself as she'd more or less assumed. Graelyn declared herself a "big fan" of Celeste, who then helped her confront Auteur alongside Archimedes, the Hollow Childe and Citizen 176. They were all briefly fictionalised again in one fell swoop when Auteur turned the situation to her advantage, but Graelyn soon tricked Auteur into fictionalising herself and then used the gauntlet itself to reverse everything she'd done with it, restoring everyone to their proper realities.
