Céolswith is the youngest child of Forthstan, a retired quartermaster of Harwick. Her two older brothers, Forthdryt (10 years older) and Frithdryt (7 years older), constantly dragged her along for their games. They were the reason she became a shieldmaiden of Harwick.

Her life as a shieldmaiden was short lived as she was asked to carry a message to Bree by a woman named Widcwyn. From there, she worked with a hobbit named Holbran and his company called the Western Watchers.

After a year, she returned to Harwick, slightly testing Aldor Harding's patience as she again attempted to rejoin the ranks. It was also shortly lived as her brother Frithdryt was killed in a patrol along the Langflood (Anduin) River. A couple years later, her brother Forthdyrt went missing in Dunland. She completely stopped her training and service to help her mother and father. After her mother became ill with grief, she could not bare to stay in Harwick and again left for the western lands of Bree.

She worked at the Comb and Wattle in Combe for a few years before returning home, where she later met Régnwald and Eirveth in Cliving. She returned to Harwick with them, serving the townsfolk of Harwick as a mead servant. She later followed Régnwald's Eored to his new post in Stangard, serving as the Quartermaster over the townsfolk and the soldiers. Since the loss of Stangard, she has left Rohan again. This time, she went to Minas Tirith in Gondor.

Given that she holds back a lot of her background and secrets, she does seem cold and distant in fear of her reputation dwindling more than it has. Céolswith seems polite and eager to serve at first. As she continues to meet with others, she later seems a bit grumpy and withholding of her emotions. Her true personality does not come out until she completely trusts another or after too many meads.

Her temper has gotten better over the years, but a challenge or game quickly brings out her competitive side and she is not one to take failure lightly. She can still throw a spear fairly well, even if she has not been training to fight.

Recently, she was married to Torwiga. They live in Walstow and are expecting a child.

(She's only RPed by request. Her tale is pretty much over with.)
