Cecilia was a young, pretty Muggle woman who seemed to have been romantically involved with Tom Riddle Senior prior to his marriage to Merope Gaunt.[1]
Biography
At some point during her youth, Cecilia began a romantic relationship with Tom Riddle, the son of wealthy landowners Thomas and Mary Riddle.
When Bob Ogden, in the course of his duties as Head of the Magical Law Enforcement Squad, visited the Gaunt shack in Little Hangleton to interview Morfin Gaunt about hexing a local Muggle (her boyfriend), Cecilia and Tom rode on a grey horse past the house. The two gossiped at the ruined cottage, Cecilia asking Tom to tear down the hovel who explained an old tramp was the owner of the cottage and thus he couldn't tear it down. The two then talked about Marvolo's son, Morfin, who was believed to be insane by the town. The two were disgusted and horrified to see Morfin had nailed his snake to the door. Later, when Ogden ran from the house to escape Morfin Gaunt's hexes, he knocked into Tom and Cecilia's horse, making the couple laugh at him for his bumbling and silly clothing.[1] Presumably, Cecilia lost contact with the Riddle family after Tom married Merope.
Personality and traits
Celia seemed to be snobbish and rude, more so than Tom Riddle, as she was very impolite and critical when talking about the Gaunt family house. He seemed to have affectionate relationship with her, calling her darling, and comforting her when seeing Morfin's dead snake nailed to the door.
Etymology
The name "Cecilia" is the Latinate feminine form of the Roman family name Caecilius, which was derived from Latin caecus "blind". Saint Cecilia was a semi-legendary 2nd- or 3rd-century martyr who was sentenced to die because she refused to worship the Roman gods. After attempts to suffocate her failed, she was beheaded. She was later regarded as the patron saint of music and musicians. The name may also be close to "cecaelia", a Greek mythological creature with the upper torso of a human and the bottom torso of an octopus.
