[color=cd9575]|In Depth Appearance|[/color]
[indent]Tessa dyed her hair red, her mother was pissed. Honestly most things Tessa does these days pisses of her mother. The only thing they've agreed on is her hair length. She wears tons of little bracelets that she has made, some are old enough to have been made by Janice.

When it comes to clothing, Tessa likes comfy clothes with band names and jeans. She loves boots, and owns several different pairs ranging from the Uggs she and Janice bought matching pairs of, to a nice pair of Doc Martins she wears the most. She rarely wears a jacket or sweater, but always wears pants or long shorts. 

Tessa tends to have paint stains on her jeans or shirt, and almost always has saw dust in her hair. This combination leads to her smelling of paint, turpentine and wood.[/indent]

[color=cd9575]|Scars, Tattoos, Piercings|[/color]
[indent]Scars: One big one on her right knee from a biking accident. Several on her thighs from cutting. 
Tattoos: none. though she tends to draw her sister's name in sharpy on wrist
Piercings: Just one for each ear. Her mother won't allow any others[/indent]

[color=cd9575]|Personality|[/color]
[center][u]♦ Artistic ♦ Fierce ♦ Melancholy ♦ Persistent ♦[/u][/center]
[indent]Tessa suffers from survivor's guilt. She blames herself for her sister's death. To Tessa, Janice was the epitome of perfection. A person she could never live up to the memory of and it drives her mad. Tessa is persistent when she decides to do something though.[/indent]

[color=cd9575]|History|[/color]
[indent]Tessa had an easy early youth. Her family is semi-religious, her mother more so in the more recent years. Her and Janice were inseparable until they got into middle school. Things started to change. Janice who was more easy going made friends and became involved in sports, something Tessa was no good at. Tessa watched, and cheered on her sister as she became as famous as one can in their small town for soccer. 

Then Janice died, murdered by the towns famous serial killer. Tessa's life fell apart. For a while it was nothing more than therapists and court rooms. She retreated and when she found her footing again, only very recently, she feared all those she had grown up and cared with were gone and didn't care about her anymore. 

After her father moved out Tessa took over his workshop and uses it for all of her art stuff. Her mother doesn't usually bother her in there, but if she needs to she will. Her grandmother on the other hand has no such respect and if she needs something as simple as a glass of water she'll bother Tessa for it rather than get it herself. Gran believes Tessa is too introverted and is on a dangerous path that will lead to her suicide. [/indent]

[color=cd9575]|Family|[/color]
[indent]Tessa lives with her mother. After Janice died their parents divorced and her father moved out of the state. Tessa's paternal Grandmother lives down the street and spends most of her day time hours at their house. When Tessa wants to hide from it all she goes into her grandmother's attic. 

Her mother's side is the Teddis Family, shared with Grant Wells. Her mother is 38 years old a full ten years younger than Amy Wells. Tessa enjoys having cousins, but she prefers spending family time with them at the Teddis house instead of at the Wells house.  [/indent]

[color=cd9575]|Theme Song|[/color]
[indent][url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q1f8JH8R240]All who Remain– Beware of Darkness[/url]
[sub]“I called and I called you never picked up
I cried and I cried but you never woke up
You died and died without asking me first
You left me all alone here on Earth”[/sub][/indent]

[color=cd9575]|Power Name|[/color]
[indent]Forgetful presence [/indent]

[color=cd9575]|Power Descrption|[/color]
[indent]People have a tendency to forget Tessa is in their presence[/indent]

[color=cd9575]|Abilities|[/color]
[indent]She can be in a room and people will basically ignore her if she so desires, this means she's basically invisible. [/indent]

[color=cd9575]|Drawbacks/Weaknesses|[/color]
[indent]Doesn't work on cameras. She has to be focusing intensely on it, if something breaks her concentration she will be "seen" again.[/indent]

[color=cd9575]|Discovering her Power|[/color]
[indent]Tessa was in her shop early in the morning after the night of the eclipse when her grandmother came in for one thing or another. At least she had warning with her high pitched calling. Tessa closed her eyes and just wished her grandmother wouldn't notice her, this was her normal response. When her grandmother stepped into the ship Tessa was ready to answer and do whatever it was her grandmother wanted her to, but her Gran didn't ask for anything. Instead she stood there for a moment and then walked out as if Tessa wasn't in the shop. [/indent]
