It seems to getting less effective as of late in the story, since a random trader sees her and all they think is that she's creepy.

Celes charms her parents to become the house head (at 13 and as a woman) for a very influential count lineage. For the record, it's stated that Lyle's family originally has enough military power to go at it with other countries and win. Then she charmed the royalty, marrying the prince and becoming the absolute ruler.

Some more fun facts about Celes.

Spoiler for :

Her current notable companions are an android super butler built using ancient and lost technology, just like Lyle's Monica. The original reason Celes got him was because she saw Lyle had one and she basically felt jealous.

An undead Qilin that apparently had opposed Celes in the past, so she killed and revived it as a mindless slave. Lyle also has a Qilin girl, although Celes' isn't out of jealously this time but plain coincidence. Celes shouldn't be aware Lyle has a Qilin as part of his harem already.

She's able to somehow turn people into monsters now as well. I'm not sure if her charm works on these monsters like it does humans, since the one time they've shown up they were pretty behaved but were also on chain leashes.

And of course Lyle's Ma and Pa are on her side, too. Seeing as every family head is a complete badass in combat, dear old dad can probably put up a good fight as well.

Celes herself is the opposite of Lyle. Lyle works his ass off, is generally kind (outside of Ancestor influence telling him to do evil things like kidnapping children), and relies on pure social skills when talking with people.
Whereas Celes is a jealous little shit that flips whenever even compared to Lyle, is drunk on power she stole from Young Lyle, and as far as we know hasn't ever put forth effort into doing anything.

Celes having the memories of the goddess of humans and skills doesn't help, since she can just create whatever skill she needs.

she is just a 13 old brat?
