Tessa

> Detective Chen: Tessa is a detective from Houston, Texas. She has seen her fair share of ugly shit, and is quite used to the profession. One of those cops that cannot hide the fact she is being really judgy about the shady stuff you are pulling off. Always frowning and looking angry, don't expect any hugs of the non 'Now I'll give you your Miranda Warning' variety!

> Dog Person: Any dog under fifty pounds is a cat and cats are useless. That is just a straight up truth of this universe, and Tessa lives by this code. She has a golden retriever named Rover, because imagination is for people who have too much free time, and can be seen around town walking him.

> Mixed Martial Arts: Tessa is a martial artist, and once upon a time she was a champion for TXFC, a local promotion. She appeared in commercials and has some Youtube highlight reels, but that career had no path forward, and so she has not pursued it. She has never stopped training, and loves the practice.

> Fitness Lifestyle: Tessa hits the gym and hits the mat frequently, her true passion for martial arts never having quiet left her. She jogs around town, and can be seen training in public parks, or teaching self-defense classes in the community center. If there is an excuse to be fighting, she will take it.

> Barfly: Tessa trolls bars sometimes, to have a drink and relax. Relax meaning getting drunk and even then she never loses the frown.

> Straight Shooter: Tessa is always banging her head at the door of promotions and relationships, but can never get through. She is too honest, and even staying silent makes her look like she has an indigestion. She is one of those "I can't go because I don't want to" people.

> Lone Star Child: Texan through and through. Once a rancher like her father, Tessa is fond of embarrassingly big belt buckles and cowboy boots/hats. Her drawl is noticeable (even if the player won't inflict that upon others during her poses) and she loves guns, hunting, rodeos, Tex-Mex cuisine and, of course, football! These are the things that can make her smile. That, and fighting crime, of course.

> Mugle: Tessa doesn't Glimmer. She is a grown up, and magic doesn't exist. That person who is trying to explain things logically in a ghost movie? Tessa. Count on her to be wrong whenever that is up!

Tessa Chen is a black-haired, Chinese-American woman that is always frowning. Everything about her is hard-edged, and she carries herself as if she is far taller and stronger than her slim, 5'7" frame would indicate. Eye contact with her own chocolate colored eyes earns a bystander a grunt or groan, her unfriendly countenance making it seem every hour of her day is a monday morning. She is fit and seems graceful, her movements precise and her grip strong. She obviously hits the gym.
