III - P E R S O N A L I T Y

<sub>Tessa is a very mean person, to say the least. She finds fun in hurting others, even if it's just verbally. Like every bully, Tessa acts like this towards people because she was hurt in the past, and is selfish enough to do that to other people, even people she likes. Though she doesn't often feel bad about it, there are times when she knows she went too far. She won't apologize, but try to make up to that person while no one's watching. She doesn't like people to know she has a soft, but wounded heart. She thinks it makes her look weak, giving people the opportunity to hurt her as well.

Despite being alone most of the times, she doesn't actually like it. She's afraid of being alone more than anything. She'll randomly run crying to someone she doesn't even know looking for comfort since, well, she barely knows anyone or gets close enough to people to consider them friends, and she rather run to someone she barely knows than to someone she knows that will probably make fun of her. Expect this to happen in stormy nights.

She's also very sarcastic. She enjoys seeing other people's reactions to her lies, even though she will deny herself when people believe her words. Despite enjoying making fun of people, she's not exactly fond of lies. She's as honest as one can be when she has to, and she'll say whatever she has to say when she has to say it, even if it means that she'll hurt the other person. She believes that people should hear what they need to hear, not what they want to hear.

Due to her background, she's also very superficial. She likes to wear makeup as if that would make her prettier, and often checks herself in the mirrors. She likes people for what they appear to her and if she doesn't like how someone looks like, she might not like said person at first. Though she does become to like people easily if she likes the way they act around her. Even if it's hard for her to open herself to people.</sub>

IV - B I O G R A P H Y

<sub>Tessa was adopted from an orphanage. She as no idea who her real parents are, so much that the nuns that took care of her until she was 6 years old only knew that someone left her by the door with a letter addressed to her that she was only to open when she reached her 16 years of age, and another addressed to the nuns apologizing for not being able to take care of a child at that time. She always felt unwanted because of that, and as time passed, and as she became more aware of the real world outside those secure walls, she became more aggressive.

At the age of six, she was finally adopted by a young couple, that seemed nice at first sight. But much to Tessa's dismay, they weren't. She was forced to live under a filthy ceiling where they couple did nothing more than drinking and hitting her during their alcoholic states. At school, everyone stood away from her because of her bruises and teachers began to worry whether or not she was being abused. During her second year with that family, things seemed to calm down for a while, but her behavior was worse. Despite not being hit so often, she was mean towards the other kids, a real bully. As she grew up, it became more of a way to relief stress for her. She managed to keep her grades good enough to progress in school, even though she failed her 9th grade, having to repeat it before graduating.

When she finally did graduate, she turned 16. Until then, she kept her mother's letter and on her birthday she finally read it. It made her guts turmoil at how much her own story had become like her mother's. In the letter, she told her how she was abused by her own parents, and how she became pregnant from her own father at the age of 16, and how she was forced to give her out for adoption because of that. When she left the baby at the nuns' door, she hoped they would give her a better life than she had. She even gave her a foreign name so she wouldn't be related to her own family. Though much to her dismay, that didn't happen, and that caused Tessa's anger for the world to grow even more at reading the letter. So she decided to run, afraid she might have the same fate as her mother.

She stole her stepfather's butterfly knife, and escaped. She ran to the orphanage, where she knew she'd be safe. The nuns took her in with joy and helped her get in the school, sharing her story with the headmaster and stating how much she needed to stay away from her past. Only then she began to live. She got a part-time job at a coffee shop near Higashimori and started her new life.

During the turn of events at Chapter 7, Tessa finally awakened to her Persona. Although, she wasn't sure if that was real or actually a dream. She didn't dwell on the subject until she and a few of her acquaintances encountered a shadow, and fought it. Tessa then understood that Valkyrie was in fact real, and managed to be one of the few standing on her feet once it was over.

Recently, Tessa lost her job as a waitress, however, it being partially Nozomu's fault, he managed to get her something at his father's enterprise.</sub>
