Tess is a wandering mage determined to find her way in the world rather than remain stagnant in her homeland, probably married off to some half forgotten noble or moderately successful merchant. She specializes in her own unique brand of magic, often pulled from various sources, and centered around a mishmash of schools and materials ranging from simple words of power to odd baubles glinting with tidbits of arcane energy.

Tess usually dresses in a hodgepodge of what she can find, afford, maintain, and repair on her own. She usually between worn mages robes or dresses, usually black, dark blue, or gray to hide any potential dirt or stains crisscrossed with pouches, backs, cloaks, belts, trinkets (both magical and mundane), and her trademark, wide brimmed, pointed hat. Alternatively, she has been known to wear heavier clothing for winter weather and short breeches and a short cape to protect from the sun over whatever else she has handy, all complete with her favorite hat.

Tess is a skilled, if unorganized, mage. Rather than specializing wholly in combat magic or even into divination, conjuration, or any established schools, she has instead opted to learn all of them and none of them at the same time. Primarily focusing on pure utility while ensuring she can also defend herself when needed, she tends to use an eclectic mix of verbal, somatic, material components often with a rhyme and reason only known to her. Outside of magic, Tess is a passable cook, understands the rudimentary methods of basic self defense, and where the more important libraries and magical locations are found. The only other area she possesses better than average abilities in are sewing as she has had to repair, tailor, and sometimes hand make her own clothing with varying degrees of success over the years.

Tess displays a sarcastic, blunt, and usually prickly exterior while generally preferring kindness to malice in most, if not all, situations. While she distrusts most species and creatures considered evil (often for good reason), she tends to offer the olive branch first before flinging fireballs or exploding marbles into the fray. Otherwise, she tends to continue to wander from place to place, preferring travel than setting down roots in any one area.
