I'm in the process of theory cradting a Lastwall Survivor, Liberator of Arazni. In the process I was curious about the level 18 feat Celestial Form that gives the champion some boons plus typing of celestial + whatever type of celestial they become.
So the question is what type of celestial would the champion become? A generic CG one? or something different because Arazni is NE? Or none at all because she is more solitary?

Celestial Form feat says
You take on a celestial countenance, appearing like a type of celestial who serves your deity; for example, as an angel, you would gain a halo and feathery wings. You gain a fly Speed equal to your Speed. You gain darkvision if you don’t already have it, and you gain the celestial trait and the trait appropriate to the type of servitor you’ve become (archon, angel, or azata, for example).
The focal part to me is "You gain the celestial trait AND the trait appropriate to the type of servitor you have become )
So, first you gain the celestial Trait
Creatures that hail from or have a strong connection to the good-aligned planes are called celestials. Celestials can survive the basic environmental effects of planes in the Outer Sphere.
Then, there are currently 3 possibilities, for 3 different alignments
Archon - Lawful Good
Members of this family of celestials are the protectors of Heaven and are lawful good. They have darkvision and a weakness to evil damage.
Angel - Neutral Good
This family of celestials is native to the plane of Nirvana. Most angels are neutral good, have darkvision, and have a weakness to evil damage.
Azata - Chaotic Good
This family of celestials is native to Elysium. They are typically chaotic good and have darkvision and a weakness to evil and cold iron.
NB: The fact words like "typically" or "most" are used, Imo makes no sense if not for creating exceptions ( You can check for any archon, angel or azata, but you won't find a single one with a different alignment than the main one, even if on the trait description it says "there could be exceptions" ).
So, since you are a chaotic good liberator, I say you'd go with Celestial + Azata traits.

The exception will be in the specific NPCs of that type. Like, there's a whole city in the Maelstrom where Celestials, Fiends and Monitors of "wrong" alignments gather. Their "unique" stat block could have CG for a devil, or LN for an Azata.
If they used "always" or no word to show there can be exceptions, people would never make a LE angel, when it's entirely possible. (The fact the Archon doesn't tick me a bit, but eh.)But I agree with the answer overall. :P
Just wanted to point it out because that part of the lore is one of my favorite.
