Celia is a girl trying to find herself and establish a career. She is very normal. Sabine is murderously evil but she is also a girl in love that wants to stand by her man. Those personalities are what define these characters, not their creature types and magical qualities.
Celia's physical being isn't made of flesh and blood. Her physiology iss made up of an idealization of fluffy clouds, gentle Spring breezes, steam rising from a tea kettle, and seeing your breath condensing for a moment on a cold Winter day; take all of those positive associations you might have with the sky, wind, air, breath, water vapor, and reshape those positive associations into a young woman who resembles a beautiful Elf with diaphranous wings, and that is what Celia's physiology is. That physiology doesn't mean she can't be a career girl trying to balance schoolwork, her lovelife and the threat of the end of the world, anymore than Redcloak's being a Goblin meant he couldn't get passing grades in Chemistry. But it does mean that she has no afterlife if she is killed; she'll be immediately absorbed into the Elemental Plane of Air to be used for spare parts, as the Primordials intended. (Sorry, little bit of 4E humor there! )
