Tessa Gibb Nicknames Tess, Monkey Age: 13 Voice: Tessa's voice sounds like the chirp of a rather annoying bird at times. Well it may not be annoying to some people but her high pitched voice is rather piercing. She speaks quickly and sometimes find she needs to repeat herself. Her voice gets even faster and more high pitched the more she becomes exited or frightened, so in the end she does really sound like a squeaky little monkey. Power(s): The nickname monkey is earned rather easily by her power. She's got a subtle power, which if not throughly examined can just seem as talent or good athleticism. Tessa's power combines quick reflexes, lightness, and power. Very much like a monkey she can climb trees quickly, jump from branch to branch and balance herself on thin branches that look like they couldn't sustain her. Balancing is easy for her because, as she explains it, she has a sort of invisible tail she can always feel. of course that's not it. Her balancing act is actually caused by the fluid in her body wanting to keep the body perfectly balanced, and in doing so moves over to one side of the body to keep it from toppling. Although it does this pretty quickly Tessa finds herself feeling lightheaded or numb in places as the fluid concentrates on other parts of her body. If this lasts to long she may lose movement for a bit in the limb or slip out of consciousness momentarily. Tessa is naturally light, having less bone density than a normal human, and in that way being more fragile. This bit about her allows her to stay on branches that look as if they may break under her. Her quick reflexes allow her to catch branches quickly and catch herself quickly before she falls. Her power, which is mostly in her legs allows her to hang on to branches and such for a long time, and to vault herself easily. Even so Tessa is not impervious to long falls, she gets hurt more than the average person would and so her method of getting down from heights is climbing downwards. She finds jumping up or or around is better than jumping down. Because of the subtlety of her powers Tessa thinks them just to be natural, and something she just grew into. She didn't experiment much so would only know when someone told her. Physical Appearance: Tessa is a little titch of a girl, coming in a 4'7". Tiny no? She's got tan skin, and walks quickly as if she's in a hurry. Her lean build gives her an easier time when she's flinging herself through the air and all in all she weighs 76 lbs. Her fuzzy red hair stands out as much as the bright freckles on her face. and all in all she looks the picture of a Scottish lass. Her hair comes down to her shoulder blades, and is often in a French braid on days where it can be teased into that fashion. otherwise it forms a thick wave of hair that fluffs up until the the frizz comes up to her ears and then smooths out. making her hair come out farther from her face the lower it goes. Her eyes are a nervous hazy blue and are often dull looking, as if she's sleeping with them open. Her face is round and her nose is upturned, and she has a funny little gap between her middle two lower teeth. Clothing: Tessa wears rag tag stuff, thrift store buys and hand me downs. She's accustomed to rips and tears, and often has patched up clothing. She doesn't worry much for colors and picks out her clothes according to the texture of the material. Tess has a big thing for clothing with textures that are odd or that she can feel clearly. She has a bright pair of sky blue corduroy shoes, although they're covered in dust and mud, and rarely get cleaned. Personality: Tessa is a very excitable girl, and jumpy. She's frightened of many things and brave in many other circumstances. She's an unpredictable soul, a bit of a rebel in her own right. She'd the kind of kid that's lazy because they want to, and do work when they want to, and are hard to control. Being stubborn, when she finds herself in jams she relies on the tact that she also lacks, and in the end only gets out by using sheer force. The kind of girl that would do things just for the sake of things, she's not good at accepting punishments or learning from mistakes and will repeat a number of things she shouldn't if she isn't stopped. She doesn't particularly think with her mind and does what instinct or whim would have her do. She speaks without thinking about it, and does offend people even though she never had the intention to do so. She's very accustomed to freedom, and has problems with people trying to be dominant. The only time she'll willingly do anything for you is if she likes you and feels like doing it, or you terrify her that badly that she doesn't want to get on your bad side, or farther on your bad side. Likes: Squirrels, wandering, apples, wind, sleet, freedom, her shoes, old trees Dislikes: Spiders, restriction, stiff clothes, tomatoes, numbness, falling Family: Her mother is a quiet calm woman, who runs a little business selling dolls that she makes online. She cares deeply for her children but works under the idea of giving them a lot of room to roam. Her father Howard Gibb is a middle aged man who actually supports the family while his wife continues her doll making. He works as a teacher for the local school. He's a bit submissive so her continues to let his wife practice keeping their children on a long leash. Her sibling Gwen is actually a boy, which is short for Gwenen. This little strawberry blonde, blue eyed boy is a bookworm and sticks closely to his fathers footsteps. He's another reason that Tessa has such a free life. The parents fed and clothed the kids and supported them however they could, but they also allowed them to do whatever they wished. This does not mean that Tessa is a druggy or hooligan, her parents encouraged personal freedom, but not stupidity (although she's not the brightest bulb). History: Tessa was born in Greave, and grew up in a quiet place where people cared for her. She was a very stubborn child to begin with, and didn't get good grades because she became bored far to easily of school. She was more the kind of kid that would play in the mud puddles looking for frogs or climb trees than one who could sit still in a chair. Her family was kind and a happy family, everyone took the roots they wanted. Tessa spent a lot of time with her mother when she was little watching her make dolls. But eventually Tessa grew out of it and left to do her own thing. As she grew up she was allowed more and more space until she became the towns little urchin kid. She had a home to return to and everyone in town knew it, but she often ended up sleeping under random people porches and in the park trees, sometimes even near the shops. Some of the new comer's freaked out and worried that she was a sick and disgusting homeless child, some even gave her money. Sometimes she went to school, other times she wandered around. Very recently she's found that she can jump much farther than usual, and can do things she couldn't before, sit on some branches that would usually break under her weight, or swing around farther to trees. She noticed that it's something new and odd, since she didn't really practice much to strengthen herself. She doesn't know that it's much of a power. So far she pays little attention to it, and at most just uses it to maneuver about the trees in the park better. She's still as carefree as ever and is happy with her lot in life. Her little brother Gwen is the star of her father's eye, and as her father is the only on who would really put up fight to get rid of the life style she has now no-one bothers with her. Gwen keeps her father busy , and her father worries less and less about her because of it. Thoughts on current predicament: Tessa Likes Cathriss, as a place to stay the night and visit. She dislikes the idea that it's her home, because the definition it has of home is different from hers. She feels confined and restricted and doesn't like that. Other: [I want your middle toe on your left foot] Watcher: A round faced, large eyed girl, with black hair is Tessa's watcher. Amiley is her name, and her fuse is rather long. Even though she may sometimes show a bit of humor, she often looks as if she'd just sucked on a lemon. Her power is the power to freeze people for at the most 1 minute. Character Played by: Spoo |
