Background:
Tessara was a high born elf, her parents both important members of their society hidden in the wild. Her father Raikel is a praised archer and her mother Svitlana a powerful wizard, both of them loved and respected. Tessara had a brother who was the elder by less than a year, but he succumbed to the fever before his Tessara's first birthday. Her parents were distraught, and also left with a problem. The stars no longer favored a child (Svitlana was extremely spiritual) but they knew their legacies were expected to be carried on. Left no other choice, they decided Tessara would have to hold both of their mantle's. Growing up learning two different worlds and having so much expected of her did horrors to Tessara's nerves, outlook of the world, and relationships with other elves. Ever since she could read there has been dozens of old books and writings thrust upon her, and ever since she was strong enough she had been learning to shoot a bow. However, Tessara was a child full of wanderlust, taking to her father's lessons with much more vigor than her mother's. She would finish all of Raikel's lessons, but then later instead of studying magic she would be found in the mountains, hunting. Svitlana was a patient women, but years of Tessara sneaking off and failing to ever produce even a cantrip wore on her nerves. Tensions grew between them, leaking out in arguments more and more often as Tessara grew older. Tessara's coming of age went and past, only making tensions with her mother grow thinner. Raikel, in an effort to smooth things over, told her that his lessons would cease until she managed to catch up on her arcane studies. However this had quite the opposite effect her father had expected, Tessara storming off into the mountains in her anger. Svitlana grew worried and went to search for her, but upon finding Tessara grew furious. She was throwing up her books and shooting them out of the air with her bow. The following argument was the worst they ever had, both of them saying things they would regret later. As the argument came to its climax the two women were standing twenty feet apart, Tessar with a drawn bow and Svitlana with a glowing hand. They stayed that way for a moment, realizing what their frustration has come to. Tessara fled into the mountains, her atelophobia overcoming her common sense. Svitlana sat down on that plateau for a good hour, scared of what had become of her relationship with her daughter and pondering what to do. Finally she set out to find Tessara in the wilderness, determined to set things right. Tessara was hiding in a small cave when she hear her mother calling her name. She ignored the calls until they turned into cries of fear. She grabbed her bow and ran to Svitlana, but was too late. She came upon the site and fell to her knees in shock. Her mother was laying up against a tree with a sword through her chest and the smoldering bodies of a pack of orcs around her. Tessara ran to her mother, but it was too late; she had already passed into the void. Tessara openly grieved for a time, upset not only at the death of her mother but also at having their last words to each other full of hate. That's when she saw the book clutched in her mother's hand, it was a beginner's spellbook that her mother hand-crafted for her. She opened the cover with shaking hands, and on the inside cover, written in the blood of her dying mother were the words I love you Tess. With tears in her eyes she clutched the book to her chest with her mother's hand, then got up and fled to man-made settlements, away from the life that had given her so much pain. Appearance and Personality:
Tess (as she likes to be called now) has pale, almost marble colored skin. Her bone-white hair falls only as far as her neck and looks as if it had been cut short with a sword. She wears a worn set of rosewood armor underneath her elven noble clothes, a white set with a high collar and several ancient markings on them. Tess is a bit of a rebel, spurning authority and any figures who represent it. She fiercely defends the little guy and has been known on more than one occasion to get into trouble with local authorities, partly from her contempt for corrupt law-keepers and partly due to her lack of cultural understanding. She warms to strangers slowly, but the few she calls friends she has close, unbreakable bonds with, and would sacrifice her life to protect. The main reason Tess came to Numeria is that she sees their advanced technology as a possible bridge between the teachings of her parents. Maybe with time she could even create such a bridge... |
