Celine

Celine is Lala 's gift for Rito's 16th birthday. She is sort of a child-like humanoid/plant hybrid, but originally was a multi-story, carnivorous, sentient sunflower kept in the Yuuki's residence backyard. Although seemingly monstrous, Rito cares for Celine deeply, referring to her as his family. The plant behaves akin to a human; perspiring when the climate is humid, wearing an oversized scarf during a chilly day and eating a bowl of ramen when hungry (though Celine still needs the basic nutrients of water and sunlight). When Celine seemed to have contracted a deadly disease, Rito was fully dedicated tofind the Luckberry to save her from the Kare Kare disease. With his friends, they journey to the S-level-danger class planet Misletoe to retrieve the antidote, only to return and find the plant all dried up. In reality, it was germinating and from its single seed, burst out Celine; taking the appearance of an infant girl, with a flower on her head. This event even shocked Momo, who is very knowledgeable with the galaxy's flora, stating Celine's biological makeup is still a complete mystery to her.

The infant Celine develops a low tolerance for cola (she gets drunk) and can spray pollen from the flower on her head that temporarily causes anyone who inhales it to fall in love with Rito – a side-effect that originates from Celine's own affection for him from taking care of her every day. The person who is sprayed with the pollen also immediantly sprouts a flower with lips on top of their head. When the effects wear off the flower also falls off their head and the person has no memory of what happened. A running gag as a child is Celine will playfully tackle any girl and attempt to suck milk from their breasts, or jump onto someone out of nowhere, most of the time causing the incident for the chapter's story. Comically mistaken for being Rito's daughter, Celine makes guest star appearances in the OVA adaptation (as a plant near the end of OVA 4 and as an infant in OVA 6 part 3) and becomes a regular character with her infant form in the new anime series.

Abilities
Being originally a plant, she has a connection with other plants like Rito and Momo do, so it's possible that, like Momo, she can also communicate with plants. Even though she talks in a somewhat baby-like language, Momo is still able to understand her.

Because of her parental love for Rito, whenever she gets drunk (off cola), she playfully walks around spraying pollen out of the flower on her head, causing anyone who breathes in this pollen to grow a tiny flower on their head and temperarily fall in love with Rito. The effects wear off after a while and flower falls off of their head.
