Celtyyyyyy, my waifuuuuuu~~
Celty Sturlson
Celty is beyond badass-- hello? She can hit someone with her motorcycle...while she's RIDING it --and she's also quite possibly one of the most interesting female characters I've seen in ages. I was struck when she was petting a headless horse: "Wow, it's harder for horses to be cute without a head. Can a female anime character be sexy without a head?" --and more than that, the way she's written is simply superb. She's not just weird for weirdness' sake-- she actually makes SENSE and it feels completely natural while actually being pretty different.
Here, have some fanart.

And can I just say-- oh man, the FIGURES! If there are no seriously amazing figures of Celty, it will be a crime. A capital crime. Because let's face it, the head is the hardest thing to really get right, so if you remove that, it should be pretty easy to make good figures-- and if you want to make a higher-end one you can devote time to a lot of other details. Sweet jesus, I want a Celty figure right now.
If you aren't watching Durarara!! already, you officially have my strong recommendation to do so. Celty and episode 4 just pushed me off the fence and right onto the Durarara!!-lovin' bandwagon.
I find it strange that a Women uses the term "my waifu".
@FoxxFireArt: I can't find anything about it, so it can't have been that good a show ;)
As for the show, considering I saw its spiritual predecessor in Baccano!, I was expecting there to be some freaky twist involving blood, so I wasn't exactly blindsided by episode four. Then again, Baccano! also had its share of humorous scenes to balance out the freaky parts, and I'm sure Durarara!! will catch up eventually.
OHH, I was just in the middle of typing a reply when I remembered the show. It was a single season run on SciFi about a team of writers and photographers that work on what is thought to be a tabloid news paper like the Globe or Inquirer. It turns out though that everything they write about is real. One of those stories was the headless biker. It was called "The Chronicle"(2001) Episode 8 "Bring Me the Head of Tucker Burns" (got to love the internet).
Hmm it's weird that her helmet is gold coloured since
She somehow sort of reminds me of Metis from P3 FES. Don't know why.
Lol yeah I think that's it xD
Someone needs to read up on their Celtic mythology, lest you find this creature chasing you down to call your name. (When they stop and call a name that person dies) Like I said keep a little gold on you though and you should be safe, well at least from one trying to run you down.
I find it dispels some of the interest.
@Crocio: I dig the helmet, it's just cool-looking. Besides, just because Celty is a wacked-out fae/ghosty creature doesn't mean she can't have some sense of pizazz.

But that's exactly it, why is it so necessary to make such a feminine character; why not just a mute, bad-ass, harbinger of doom that is female?
It's irritating seeing this sexy, female main character type apply in situations as strange as a headless harbinger of doom.
