Celeste McKnight is a 22-year-old with a Southern accent and a slightly raspy singing voice, embodying a tomboyish style with her long, straight brown hair, emerald green eyes, and pale skin. As the lead singer and guitarist of her band, Celeste is both talented and complex, carrying the burden of her difficult past. Her father, Theodore, died under mysterious circumstances when she was a child, leading to a strained relationship with her mother, Vivian, who pushed Celeste and her younger sister, Eliza, into the spotlight, fostering resentment within her. Having moved to Las Vegas to pursue her dream of a rock singing career, Celeste fell into an abusive relationship with Marcus, who exploited her vulnerabilities. Despite her tough exterior and guarded nature—marked by a constant shifty look and infrequent smiles—she possesses a deep love for music and finds solace in collecting vinyl records, sipping mint tea, and watching sunsets. Celeste is extremely closed off and hesitant to ask for help, yet her interactions within the band reveal her nurturing side. She is protective of Daisy, has a father-daughter relationship with Terry, and has a solid rapport with Jordan. Tessa is a close ally due to their similar personalities, while her relationship with Luca tends to be indifferent. Celeste’s evolving relationship with Julian starts off rocky but blossoms into love by season 3, with him becoming her most significant supporter. Her journey highlights themes of resilience and self-discovery, as she learns to balance her passion for music with her personal struggles, ultimately seeking to break free from her past and embrace her true self.

Marcus, at 32 years old, is the toxic and manipulative antagonist in Celeste’s life. With his light brown hair combed back and piercing blue eyes, his appearance reflects the carefully controlled image he projects to the world. He exudes an intimidating and menacing presence, using his deep voice to condescend and manipulate those around him, especially Celeste. Marcus initially entered her life during one of her performances at a dive bar, where he preyed on her innocence and vulnerability, love-bombing her with affection to gain control. Under the guise of support, Marcus pushed Celeste into a modeling career, steering her away from her true passion for music. While he made her believe she was thriving, he subtly eroded her confidence, making her feel dependent on him for validation and success. As their relationship progressed, his facade of care slipped, revealing a toxic, selfish side that used manipulation to keep her in line. He disregarded her boundaries, consistently pushing her beyond her comfort zone, emotionally trapping her. In Season 2, Celeste finally finds the strength to break free from Marcus’s grip, marking a pivotal point in her personal journey. His controlling and manipulative influence, however, leaves lasting scars, making his eventual departure from her life a complicated emotional process. Marcus remains a shadow over Celeste’s life until she fully regains her independence and strength.
