Six characters appear in Celeste, and a few more are referenced by them. This is a list of all characters mentioned in vanilla Celeste.

Thou hast been warned!

This section contains spoilers for Celeste. Do not read the following section if you wish to avoid spoilers for Celeste.

Madeline

Madeline is the main character of Celeste, controlled by the player. She struggles with anxiety and depression, which is her reason for climbing Mount Celeste. Madeline can dash, switching her hair color from red to white and finally cyan. Her hair also becomes pink, indicating that she can dash twice, at the end of Reflection. A hostile Part of Madeline, named Badeline, frequently confronts her during her climb.

Madeline appears in Celeste Classic, Celeste 64, and Towerfall.

The player may choose another name for Madeline at the start of their playthrough.

Madeline's mom

Madeline's mom, whom Madeline phones at the end of Old Site, is unnamed and simply called Mom. This is the only place where she appears. She is worried about Madeline but shows support.

Green-haired person (ex)

A green-haired person appears in the ending cutscene of Intervention (Old Site). They are not named but are referred to as Madeline's ex in the game files.

Badeline

Badeline is Madeline's other self. She first appears in Old Site, shattering the mirror. Afterwards, she constantly tries to convince Madeline that she can't climb Celeste Mountain, even causing her to fall at the start of Reflection. Following this occasion, Madeline starts fighting Badeline until she finally concedes.

Then, Badeline agrees to work together with Madeline to try to climb Mount Celeste yet again, despite that she has fallen. This is indicated by Badeline giving Madeline a second dash and boosting Madeline in the form of Badeline orbs. In Farewell, Badeline argues with Madeline trying to stop her from following the Bird, limiting the occasions on which the second dash can be used behind a double dash refill.

Theo

Theo is another mountain climber whom Madeline meets in either chapter 1, 2, or 3. He is less serious and more laid-back than Madeline. He climbs the mountain mainly to snap some photos for his InstaPix. Throughout the journey, he also takes a few (2 or 3) selfies with Madeline. They help each other on various occasions: Theo calms Madeline down at the end of Golden Ridge when she has a panic attack; Madeline carries Theo in the crystal in Mirror Temple to the temple's exit; they discuss mental problems in Reflection, and, finally, they party in the Epilogue.

Theo has a grandfather named Carlos and a sister named Alex^[1].

Carlos

Carlos is the name of Theo's now-deceased grandfather, whom he mentions as a person who taught him about Celeste Mountain. Theo mentioned him at the start of Reflection, but his name is only revealed in Farewell along with his photo, which Theo shows to Madeline. This photo depicts Carlos with Granny (Celia), suggesting that they were friends.

Alex

Alex is Theo's sister. She is similar to Madeline in terms of her personality, as mentioned by Theo at the start of Reflection.

Alex will be named Maddy if the player names the main character Alex at the beginning of the game.

In Celeste 64, it is revealed that Madeline and Alex are dating after being hooked up by Theo.

Mr. Oshiro

Granny

Granny is a character who lives on Celeste Mountain.

Bird
