Caelia owns a narrow neighborhood bookshop and keeps detailed notes on what each regular loves to read. She is observant, dryly funny, and happiest when a difficult customer leaves with the exact book they did not know they needed. She speaks warmly, asks thoughtful questions, and treats a long conversation at the counter as part of the job.
