Celesaya is the femslash ship between Celestia Ludenberg and Sayaka Maizono from the Danganronpa fandom.
Canon[]
Despite being from the same game, Sayaka and Celestia never directly interact due to Sayaka's early death. However, they weren't seen to be on bad terms with each other. The also do not share any events in the non-canonical Ultimate Talent Development Plan or Danganronpa S: Ultimate Summer Camp.
After Celeste's execution, Makoto discovers an old photograph in the school. Celestia and Sayaka are in the image alongside Hifumi Yamada, with Celestia angrily chasing Hifumi for her eyelashes and Sayaka giggling in the background. This image, from their lives prior to the Killing Game, suggests that they might have been friends.
Something that they have in common is that they both sacrificed a lot for their dreams. While Sayaka tried to kill Leon Kuwata to escape the Killing Game and continue her dream as the Ultimate Pop Sensation, Celestia killed Kiyotaka Ishimaru and Hifumi to fulfill her big dream of living in a castle with handsome servants. They are the only characters in the first game that are shown to commit murders for truly selfish reasons. Personality-wise, Celestia and Sayaka have nothing in common. Celestia is cold, and hiding her emotions with a smile, while Sayaka has a nice personality and is always friendly.
Fanon[]
Celesaya is a rare-pair among the Danganronpa. While it has a decent amount of fan works on AO3, it's nowhere as popular as Celestia and Sayaka's main ships. It if often rivalled by Celesgiri and Celesgami for Celestia and Naezono and Ikuzono for Sayaka. Nonetheless, some people still ship them and wish that Celestia and Sayaka would have interacted more with each other. Celesaya is often portrayed in fanfictions as a one-sided crush from Sayaka's side, due to her being the nice and caring one.
In Celesaya fan arts, Sayaka and Celestia are often seen to have tea together, or Celestia and Sayaka are together in their sports uniforms. Often Kyoko Kirigiri is also portrayed in fan arts, creating a polyship between all three, since Kirizono and Celesgiri are decently popular ships in the fandom. A main reason why the ship sailed was because of the Opposites Attract trope, which is a fairly popular trope, since Sayaka is nice and has a bubbly personality, and Celestia is rather cold. They perfectly match in this trope.
On AO3, the ship currently has over 45 works. It is Celestia's sixth most popular ship, and Sayaka's seventh.
