[color=ff69b4]﹂[/color]	The percussive staccato of Tessa Vellhart's platform stilettos rang throughout the winding corridors of the Academy. Tessa was racing against the insistent hands of the clock, eager to mark her presence at the much-awaited Moonlit Masquerade Ball, the jewel in the Academy's social crown. A recent escapade on a skyship had delayed her arrival, punctuating her day with an unexpected tinge of danger. The flirtation with death had been a trifle too close for her taste, and the following plunge of the ship towards the Endless Ocean Below had given her an ample shot of adrenaline for the day. She had summoned a generous portion of her Vitesse, sparing no expense in the theatrics aboard the ship and during her subsequent return to the Academy. Exhaustion nipped at her heels, but it was a sensation she relegated to the mere physical realm. The tangible anticipation for the Ball and the prospect of seeing her beloved students cloaked in their finery eclipsed any weariness.

[color=ff69b4]﹂[/color]	Clad in her signature pink, Tessa was a spectacle unto herself. Her gown, an extravagant masterpiece by Aurum Astra, rippled and rustled with her movements, billowing like a fairy tale spun from cotton candy. The dress' voluminous layers framed her delicate figure, its whispers accompanying each swish of her hips. Her feet, ensconced in towering stilettos adorned with [url=https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1105493624545874034/1131459121074421760/Untitled-2ggggg.jpg]twinkling glitter[/url], added a staggering eight inches to her lithe form. The twinkle of pink and gold danced on her ears, courtesy of the intricate earrings, matching the ceremonial choker gracing her slender neck. Her nails and makeup bore the same hue, completing the charming ensemble. All of it was an ode to the fashion powerhouse Aurum Astra, a symbiosis between Tessa, the Academy's ambassador to the brand, and the brand itself, stemming from a beneficial sponsorship for the Moonlit Masquerade Ball. All items were loaned to her, while the students' outfits were provided at a significant discount, the Academy taking care of the financial aspects. Although, plenty of students chose their own means of fashion for the event.

[color=ff69b4]﹂[/color]	As Tessa crossed the threshold into the Ball, the event was already in full swing. The golden glow of Penelope Upperton's performance bathed the hall, her majestic attire from Elara Lyra reinforcing her reputation as the brand's foremost muse. Despite her lateness, Tessa allowed herself a moment of unabashed admiration, the sight of Upperton leaving her momentarily awestruck. However, the mentor in her wrested control, her girlish fascination ceding way to her sense of duty. Swiftly, she composed herself, fixing any visible misalignments in her dress, patting her hair into place, and catching her breath before venturing into the thrumming hubbub of her students.

[color=ff69b4]﹂[/color]	She moved like a specter among the ocean of bodies, her gaze darting among the students, the erstwhile mates who now looked upon her as a mentor. The lines of her authority, often blurred due to her past as a student herself, made the dynamics slightly awkward, but she navigated it with grace. Slipping through the crowd, she caught sight of Anastasia and Leah, their presence as conspicuous as Fire and Ice in the sea of faces. Further scanning brought her gaze upon Lhoren, who appeared to be searching for someone to interact with. As Tessa prepared to approach the young girl, her eyes fell on Kaspaan and Raffaella, their sight sending a frisson of pure joy coursing through her. 

[color=ff69b4]﹂[/color]	With a joyful “[color=ff69b4]Hey hey![/color]" her voice rang out above the steady click-clack of her heels. A soft gasp escaped Tessa as she took in Lhoren's outfit, “[color=ff69b4]Oh gosh, she is so fabulous in all white.[/color]" Tessa's hand reached out to touch the fabric of Lhoren's dress, her fingers smoothing out the slight creases, having to slightly bend her knees to adjust for the height difference between them. The warmth in her smile washed over the girl as Tessa indulged in her dual role of a mentor and friend, with grace and panache. "[color=ff69b4]I'm soooo sorry I ran late --[/color]" Tessa's blabber machine fired up. "[color=ff69b4]Petyr and I were on our way back to the Academy. And, there was this guy there, an old guy, who was, like, sick or something.[/color]" Tessa took a step closer to Lhoren to be able to lower her voice a bit, although most of it would be concealed by the music. "[color=ff69b4]And I kid you not, he was sneezing fireballs that set the ship on fire,[/color]" Tessa's eyes widened in retrospective excitement and adrenaline rush. "[color=ff69b4]Everything goes to shit, right, and there is this explosion, Petyr made a big hole in the side of the ship so we could escape, and then the thing went down and crashed in the Ocean -- it was totally insane.[/color]" Tessa relished in the gossip chatter.

[color=dimgray]I WOULD'VE MENTIONED EVERYONE, BUT I QUICKLY FOUND OUT THAT IT BECAME A BIT IMPRACTICAL. 
SO, IF YOUR CHARACTER ISN'T MENTIONED, ASSUME THAT TESSA JUST HASN'T SEEN THEM YET![/color][/sup][/sub][/right]
