[B]History:[/b]
[i][INDENT]
To know of, Thessa's history, you must first know of the history that preceded her. Her peoples have lived in the far north for centuries. Living through the harsh Arctic wastes as if it were nothing but a minor inconvenience. The people had one tradition that remained since it was formed. The tradition was to train a child to be a mage every few hundred years or so, to ensure that there was always someone to heal any wounds or to use as a trump card against rival tribes if need be.

This is where, Thessa comes in. Obviously technology and education had come a long way since the tribes formation, and rather than being taught by the previous mage entirely, Thessa was instead only tutored by the mage for the first 10 or so years of her life before she was sent to study at a magic college far south. The tribe specifically demanded she be taught ice magic primarily, but of course, it was only Thessa's luck to be placed with the most eccentric tutor in the entire school. 

He was a wise, yet silly old man who held making his lessons fun in a higher regard to being strict. While he did give, Thessa a good education in ice magic, he also liked to teach her various other magics like purifying water or even how to speak to a fish inbetween lessons.

She stopped her formal training at the college at the age of 25, but continued to learn and study at the college until she was well into her 50s. She made a by living brewing and selling various potions along with helping to tutor younger students at the college. Unfortunately duty called to her near her 100th birthday. She was to return to her tribe to give the old - now deceased mage a proper funeral along with taking over the position of the mage. 

While she did as she was told, she felt a yearning for something more. Funnily enough, the life of a mage secluded to a hut in the ice fields didn't appeal to her as much as the bustling cities and towering acropolis' did.

Nevertheless, she continued to do her duty. That is, until a rival tribe began moving in on their territory. Try as they might, even with, Thessa's magic skills they were severely outmatched in terms of combat skill and volume of combatants. Thessa's tribe was destroyed, and she narrowly escaped to the south. This was around the time she was 245, and she had very little idea of what to do with her life after this crucial event.

She decided on exploring the world, something she always wished she could do. This is how she ended up in Dasma.[/INDENT][/i]

[B]Psychological Profile:[/b]
[i][INDENT]Thessa has the philosophy of always looking on the bright side of life. She is optimistic about just about everything and tries to at least fake being enthusiastic in most situations. That being said, she is rather cautious and she may be a bit less than enthusiastic if a plan will result in her death. She takes a rather sisterly approach to most people, and will happily teach her knowledge to anyone who asks her to.[/INDENT][/i]
