I doubt this is much of a surprise to anyone following this topic, to me Celes is a top top character.

A+ ff6 playthrough topic

That Celes write-up tho is all music to my ears aww yeah, I said it before but Celes really does take a whole lot of prominent spotlight through big story events - people like to assign WoB to Terra and WoR to Celes, but truly Celes shines a whole lot even during the Balance - most notably with that climax on the Floating Continent that works so well with Celes's relationship to Kefka and the Empire. She's got the romance with the leading man Locke, she's the most notable character to the villain, plays the leadership role in bringing the party together, and even stars in perhaps the most iconic scene of the game with the Opera House.

On the other hand you have Terra the presumed face of the game who really just goes along with everyone, not knowing what is going on or what she even really wants, as her character is more of a tool that the Empire desires and Returners need up until the Thamassacre. As a driving force, Terra doesn't even have any drive or interest of her own pretty much until it's time to go take on Kefka!

It really is the case that Celes just takes on all these highlighted roles as they were so concerned with giving Terra too much prominence, yet overall really it's not like ensemble led to an equal field of characters by any means.

PS: fun fact you may not have realized, but I like that Celes was actually the 2nd playable character you see in the game! Right before Locke shows up at Arvis's place, Terra has a flash-back of the Empire showing her/Celes/Gestahl/Kefka/Leo at the Imperial Palace. It's not something you think about at the time but in hindsight I've always enjoyed that fact.
