Re: REVISION REQUESTED

Let me know if there's anything specific you wish to have fleshed out:

The interesting thing about Celty is that she carries no revulsion or rejection to being a monster. It's what she is and she's fine with it. However, at the same time she has cultivated friendships with the humans around her and in an early episode of the second half of the series she foregoes hunting down a lead for where her head is in favor of helping out some friends in need (one of whom is being attacked, and another who just needs someone to talk to). She even considers herself at the same level or even below others, referring to Shizuo as being stronger than her and finding his strength thrilling, or later on assuring him that he doesn't need to fight to protect her because she's concerned about his own well being.

She's become an urban legend, but she doesn't really care about the status, nor does she seem to care about hiding what she is. She shows up in public regularly, and often takes her helmet off when asked, she sees no big deal on the matter. She simply is herself.
thanks to her living with Shinra and his devotion to her, she's getting to the point where she doesn't believe she needs her head to validate her existence, though she'd still like it back for the sake of security (who knows what would happen if it was destroyed).

She's a thoroughly modern dullahan, a fan of movies and chatting on the internet. She has a fascination and fear of aliens, often chalking up the stranger occurrences to their handiwork first before calming down (see the Saika/Slasher case). The only thing she fears more than aliens are Ikebukuro's more aggressive traffic cops.

She poses as a man in the online chat, but she's a terrible liar (both online and off), and her chat partners know she's a girl and are just polite about it. Whether they know who she really is depends on the other character (all the chat room sequences involve characters who know eachother offline but may not know their aliases. Only Izaya is the one who surely knows who everyone is).

Her phone is her main source of expression, and she cherishes it as a gift from Shinra. Beyond that, she tends to be very expressive with body language, even going so far as to go through the physical action of laughing in one episode even though there is no sound to go with it. If her helmet is off, the shadowy "smoke" that emerges from her neck is very expressive as well, puffing up thicker when she's angry or embarassed.

She's not very good at video games or cooking, and when she gets frustrated with something she tends to wrap it up in an impenetrable orb of shadow.
