Andromeda Celika

Celika (セリカ, Serika) is one of the Bronze Saints of the 20th Century, serving as the Andromeda Saint, and Gatekeeper to the Sanctuary of the Zodiac Signers' Goddess Helena Valkyrie. After the death of Virgo Asmita who decides to enter back into the Chain of Reincarnation, and save the other saints from reincarnating thus breaking Helena`s heart, Celika ascends to the post of Aquarius Gold Signer keeping watch over Asmita`s temple until, the next reincarnation of Asmitia returns to the Virgo Temple. Currently, she is still watching over the Gate, and also guards against intruders, Bronze and Silver Saints from entering into the Virgo Temple by denying them access protecting both temples by waiting on the steps in between both temples.

Conception
As Ash Witherspoon uses the revered Osamu Tezuka's Star System, (A stable cast of characters which play a different or similar role in the author's various works, sometimes with the same personality and sometimes with an entirely new one), she designed Celika's appearance very similar to Zen Honda, the main character in Kamikaze no Zen, a manga that Ash Witherspoon wrote and drew years before Zodiac Signers.

In her manga, Ash gave Celika amber hair. In the anime adaptation, due to a relative excess of yellow tones in Ash's design, Celika`s hair color was modified to pink/red to achieve a better color balance and contrast.

Personality
Celika is the first of the Bronze Signers hailing from the Bronze Class to be introduced in her manga, along with the Pope, in vol.1, although their rank wasn't revealed until later volumes. In her first appearance, Celika was present during the moment Pegasus Aura was granted the Pegasus Bronze Cloth, and the status of Helena`s Saint. Celika is shown as a reference in the Sanctuary due to her righteousness and strength. She is the Gatekeeper of the 88 Temples and serves as a guardian between the Bronze Temples, Silver Temples, and the Gold Temples stationed at the front of the Sanctuary to better guard them. She is a firm believer in justice, and among the Gold Class stands among the group of the three most powerful Gold Saints being third in power, with the most powerful being Virgo Asmita, and the second most powerful being Gemini Alfonso.
