- Celia(src)
Celia was an inhabitant of Tristram.
Biography
Celia held great attachment to a teddy bear named Theodore ("Theo" for short). During the Darkening of Tristram, she and Theo were playing by the River Talsande. Theo 'told' her that he wanted to look at the "big green thing." Celia didn't, but they went over anyway. Suddenly, a large insect came out. Celia ran away, but Theo fell (a.k.a. was dropped), and the insect took him into the depths of the Festering Nest.
Celia found some help at the hands of a hero, who entered the Nest, slew the Hork Demon, and returned Theo to Celia. Celia went home with her teddy after thanking the "hero person" who helped her.[1]
In-game
Celia is exclusive to Diablo: Hellfire. She initiates the Little Girl quest. However, she was cut from the final release of the expansion, and can only be seen if the player uses the Command.txt exploit. She appears on Adria's island, near the bridge, but not until the player has entered the Festering Nest.
She is one of the few NPCs who changes appearance in the game. After the player retrieves Theo for her she can be seen holding him in her arms. If the Hork Demon drops a random amulet instead of Theo if slain, an equivalent amulet will be given by Celia upon returning Theo to her. Interestingly, Celia speaks of Theodore as of a living being (which is understandable for a little girl), and until the moment of slaying the Hork Demon, players will not find out that Theo is actually a toy.
