Headmistress of Harold's Academy, Oversees Student Council and Clubs

[i]Headmistress of Harold's Academy, Minerva is the daughter of a Parliament Diviner and is undeniably one of the most powerful Mystics in Lekë. Highly intelligent and a master of her gift (which she uses to appear younger than she really is), her iron fist and imperious leadership style are both worthy of fear and admiration. Though she cares deeply for her students and always seems calm and keenly under control of everything, her temper is notorious within the Mystic community. She's been known to turn a student or two into a toad for bad-mouthing her. After the disappearance of her wife, there was something different about her. Her colleagues and her son, a student at the academy, noticed the shift in her aura as well. She's become quite cold towards everyone, even her son and father. There are very few people that she genuinely likes and admires. She is somewhat untrusting of people, believing they're only interested in her high status and position of influence. Minerva is known to host monthly gatherings at the Guest House for the elites and their families. These gatherings are high profile and invitation only. Everyone seems to want an invitation, though people question why she even bothers hosting them since she doesn't seem to like them very much anyways. "Just a bunch of elitist snobs looking for a come up!", she once said. Despite being from a Noble family herself, she despises what the status stands for. She holds much more value towards hard work and dedication versus frivolous showboating elitism.

[color=866978][i]Tessa is an unmissable figure, lighting up any room with her radiant appearance. Her skin, smooth and pure as porcelain, shines as if kissed by the moon's glow. It creates an almost ethereal beauty that contrasts sharply with the lively energy she possesses. Her naturally pale blonde hair acts as a dramatic backdrop to the vivid mix of hot pink and turquoise streaks she often sports. Her hair color changes frequently, each new hue as daring and unique as she is, mirrored by her nails painted in the same vibrant shades.

Tessa's fashion choices are an echo of three Lekëon brands: Nivalis's bold flair, Aurum Astra's unmistakable glamour, and Elara Lyra's modern chic. Her wardrobe is a gallery of adventurous prints, innovative cuts, and luxurious materials, defying traditional norms in favor of the extraordinary. She might be seen in a flowing silk blouse from Nivalis, covered with daring prints and paired with a sharply tailored leather skirt -- a dramatic mix of softness and edge. Alternatively, she might appear in a brocade and lace cocktail dress from Aurum Astra that amplifies her sensual aura. On some days, she embodies Elara Lyra's futuristic minimalism, wearing sleek, single-color outfits that subtly suggest a world of opulence.

Her footwear collection runs the gamut from towering stilettos to polished boots, anchoring her outfits and providing a solid base for her vibrant sartorial statements. These shoes are not mere accessories -- they are a declaration of her presence and a showcase of her confidence. Adding the final touches to her outfits are her varied accessories: a collection of metals, precious stones, and unique pieces that enhance her overall aesthetic. From the jeweled chokers around her slender neck to the statement rings on her painted fingers, and the extravagant earrings adorning her ears.

At her core, Tessa is a vibrant mix of striking colors and high fashion, embodying a fearless celebration of uniqueness. Her presence commands attention, not just because of her roles as a mentor and future professor, but also as a trendsetter and an exemplar of nontraditional beauty. She is as captivating as a dazzling light show in the night sky, drawing eyes and admiration wherever she goes. Just as the northern lights bring beauty to the coldest, darkest nights, Tessa brings a unique allure and enchantment to every situation, whether it is in the academy or out in the wider world of Lekë. Her ability to combine her professional role with her personal style creates a compelling and charismatic persona that is hard to ignore.[/i][/color]

[i]Tessa Vellhart has a way with words that makes people stop and listen. She is talkative, always full of ideas and thoughts that flow out of her like a river. Her conversational style, though intense at times, is filled with an infectious enthusiasm that lights up the corridors of Harold's Academy and makes every exchange lively and interesting. She is also incredibly nurturing. Her deep care and concern for those around her is as vast as the ocean below. She is like a protective guardian, patient and understanding, viewing every student as a unique individual who just needs the right guidance to shine. Through the challenges of academic life and the ups and downs of adolescence, Tessa is a stable presence, her kindness a safe haven for many.

When you talk about Tessa, you cannot help but mention her sensual nature. She seems to be in sync with the life around her, moving and reacting in ways that feel connected to a deeper energy. Her vibrant and energetic presence is a reflection of her joy for life and invites others to appreciate every moment.

Despite her vibrant and expressive nature, Tessa is also stoic. Amidst life's chaos, she stands as a rock, showing a resilient and unwavering spirit that serves as both inspiration and support. Her steady strength offers a source of stability to her mentees as they navigate their academic paths. But Tessa is not all open and transparent. She has an abstruse side that wraps her in a layer of mystery. She is like a book waiting to be read, a complex puzzle that draws people in, eager to understand. Her multifaceted personality is a maze to navigate, with every twist and turn revealing something new and unexpected.

Tessa is a dynamic blend of opposing traits, creating a complex yet fascinating image of a woman who is as diverse as the students she mentors. Her dedication to her role, her caring nature, and the air of mystery that surrounds her come together to form a character who is as intriguing as she is loved.[/i]

[color=e140b2]◈[/color] [color=73c8f2]H i s t o r y[/color] [color=e140b2]◈[/color]
[i]Tessa Vellhart was born into a staunchly traditional family. The stoic countenance of her father and the rigid enforcement of feminine decorum by her mother formed the bedrock of her early life. There was little space for individuality and self-expression within the stark lines of their household.

From a young age, Tessa was captivated by the swirling world of fashion. The hush of silk, the symphony of patterns, and the grandeur of colors held a deep fascination for her. Her mother, however, was skeptical about this interest, viewing it as a frivolous indulgence, potentially a smudge on their family's stringent reputation. This discordance between Tessa's inherent creative flare and her family's conservative outlook tinged her childhood with a sense of quiet longing.

A dramatic twist arrived in Tessa's life when her gift made itself known. She discovered her ability to slow down time, a feat so profound that it made her appear to move from one place to another almost instantaneously. It was an astounding revelation for her parents, one that they initially struggled to comprehend. Once they managed to move past their surprise, they realized the implications. Their daughter was a Mystic, and all Mystics were required to attend Harold's Academy. For Tessa, this was a welcome departure from her family's confining grasp and an opportunity to explore her exceptional abilities further.

Upon her entry to Harold's Academy, Tessa was magnetically drawn to the vivid world of Theater and Art. These disciplines offered her a reservoir of creative opportunities, and she dove headfirst into their depths. The emotive artistry of theater and the visual poetry of art captivated her, setting her on a path of intellectual pursuit. She envisioned herself as a professor in these fields, guiding future generations through the maze of creativity and imagination.

Tessa's life has been a journey of metamorphosis and perseverance. Born into a world of restrictive norms, she has emerged as a beacon of individuality and creative passion. Today, she is an integral part of the Harold's Academy, celebrated for her vibrant personality, and admired for her deep commitment to the subjects of Theater and Art. Her story continues to unfold, as she explores the boundaries of her mystical abilities and strides forward on her path to becoming an exceptional mentor and inspiring professor.[/i][/center][center][img]https://i.imgur.com/Yei38yJ.png[/img][/center][center][color=e140b2]◈[/color] [color=73c8f2]M y s t i c   C l a s s i f i c a t i o n[/color] [color=e140b2]◈[/color]

[i]Tessa can slow down the course of time for herself and others. This allows her to move and think normally while the outside world is decelerated to various degrees depending on focus and effort. Clothes and other objects that Tessa is in contact with function normally during the effect. This is also true for those to whom Tessa extends the effect.[/i]

[i]Tessa cannot stop the course of time entirely. At times, with enough focus and effort, she could potentially slow it down to the brink of a halt. The more individuals that the effect is extended to, the more effort is required by Tessa. The duration and potency of the effect will also be affected by the number of individuals she included. There is also a limited area of effect, which is not always obvious to Tessa herself -- the less she knows about the environment, the smaller the area of effect will be. There might be physical consequences of too much use of this gift. Tessa is unsure if it affects her natural aging process or the aging process of anyone she extends the effect to.[/i]

[h3][color=7ea7d8]Note About Homerooms:[/color][/h3]With 1000 students attending The Academy, and 50 students per homeroom, there are 20 homerooms in total. There are 17 professors (which will be revealed as they're completed), and each has their own homeroom, in addition to the class or classes that they teach. That means Mentors fill in for the last 3 homerooms. Tessa, of course, a former student of the Academy who aspires to become a full-time permanent teacher, is the Mentor of Class 20, our class. Classes 19 and 18 are also run by their own mentors. There are only 3 mentors at the school currently, with Tessa being the most well-known and popular amongst the entire student body, not just by Class 20.
