Celine and How She Is NOT A Villain
I'm going to the wiki to get a memory jog.
Now everyone at least outside of their universe calls Celine a villain but all we know is that there was concept art of her killing both parents but essentially we were told that it was scrapped. A. Who would take care of a baby that they killed even if it was someone that they loved (in a platonic way)? B. We're hard on Celine but it's possible that she hid Rumi's patterns for two reasons which we will go down now: 1. Celine was worried that baby Rumi would let her demon side take over and refused to let her demon side take over because otherwise she would actually need to kill her if that were the case. 2. It's possible that we never hear about the third unnamed "Sunlight Sister" because she was about to kill baby Rumi until Celine found a solution and the third one felt guilty and ran away but also disgust after figuring out that Rumi was not fully human but I beg to differ later on when we get to the graveyard scene. Korea also had a huge thing against tattoos so it could be seen as one to the public eye likely especially in school years which caused the kids to get ostracized. Celine was just trying to let Rumi have a normal human life. Rumi felt close to the girls but Celine didn't know how they would react since they were told to kill all demons thinking that they were bad so she had Rumi hide it to spare her the pain of her friends turning on her. Now here's the deeper thing: Rumi looked completely human with Mira and Zoey even being called out and the only differences for them were the patterns/scars, teleporting and demonic screech. Rumi looks even more demonic in front of Celine but she could only see the girl she raised and she (Celine) thought she could fix it by putting a jacket on her but Rumi was tired of lying but you see the thing is a whole idols life is lying most of the time or keeping secrets. Celine didn't even kill Rumi when she was aking Celine to do so because of her love and her band mate. Now the wiki says that after Rumi teleports away they have a fallout but who says that that isn't a heat of the moment since Rumi also decides against destroying the Honmoon. Plus we don't see Celine at the ending because of it focusing on HUNTR/X's downtime. Interesting script idea for the next movie: The third unnamed "Sunlight Sister" is introduced but she is even more prejudiced then Celine so she tries killing Rumi but Celine steps in (thankfully for Rumi it ends up being the Honmoon weapon) so it doesn't actually kill Celine because she has dealt with too many people who are close to her dying. It's then revealed that the unnamed bandmate was Mi-Yeoung and Celine's bully which made Celine and Mi-Yeoung honestly upset when they were recruited so she refuses to keep anything of theirs. Then Celine is just seen as the nuanced charachter she is (someone who acts closer to a human and has many secrets) NOT the villain she was NEVER intended to be seen as. I hope we get a spinoff series from all groups eventually after the short. Celine was also always there for the girls. Where the heck was the third "Sunlight Sister" if she wasn't so prejudiced towards Rumi?
Please understand that she and all of the charachters are the nuanced characters and the only TRUE villain is Gwi-Ma. She isn't even an Anti-Heroine but rather a heroine unless otherwise stated by Sony or Netflix. Maybe Netflix will reveal to us at the very least the previous hunters if not the other guys' backstory because it is called Hunters.
