Personality: Tessa is a very caring person. She doesn't talk much about her life before she was 8, but her and her father are very close. Tessa would do anything to protect a friend. She isn't afraid to stand up for those friends. If someone messes with her though it rolls of her shoulders. She has a strangely tough hide. Those who knew her during her first year say she was much more withdrawn. It wasn't until her second year that she became as friendly as she is now. She loves hugs, but always makes sure the person receiving the hug is okay with it.

Bio\History: Tessa was born to a poor back woods religious woman and her husband. It was three years after Tessa was born that she did her first unusual thing. It wasn't anything crazy, she just wanted the cereal off the top shelf. It came to her and her mother flipped out. Tessa's mother was quickly convinced Tessa was possessed. Her father on the other hand knew the truth. He had done a great job of hiding it too. He tried to explain to his wife. She didn't take it so well. In fact she took Tessa and disappeared with her. No one knows the whole story of what happened the next five years, except Tessa obviously. Until by chance a cop saw an 8 year old Tessa in the back of a taxi. A recently aged photo of her had been released and the two looked close enough for him to call it in. Over the next two months the cops did their best to remove Tessa from her mother's custody. They eventually succeeded, put Tessa's mother away in jail for kidnapping and returned Tessa to her father. 

The two reconciled over the next few years and then Tessa received her letter. Her father was pleased as punch and told her about Hogwarts. He had been a Ravenclaw, but he was fine with whatever Tessa was. He was just happy she could go to Hogwarts.
