In ‘As You Like It’ do you agree that Celia is completely overshadowed by Rosalind?

As I recall, Celia's own father intended to banish
Rosalind because he felt she overshadowed his daughter. When Rosalind went in to exile,
Celia went with her because she was so deeply attached to Rosalind. Throughout the play
Rosalind has a much stronger role. She is the most memorable character in As You Like
It, while Celia seems like only a minor character. Rosalind has to protect Celia and
tell her what to do from the time they both go into exile and end up in the Forest of
Arden. There is no doubt that the two young women love each other, as the first answer
above states.
