Annalisa here with my second - aka someone who is actually socially savvy enough to be on the same level as most of the people in this game, lmao. I love Lorcan to death, but hopefully Tessa here will open whole new worlds of Feinted possibilities. Her full name is Tessalyn Sinclair-Wood, older sister to Mallory (hesitancy).
Anyway, I was going to write my usual kind of intro... then I decided to do that character fact sheet thing instead.
5 Things EVERYONE Knows About Me 1. My hair color changes depending on my mood, and I occasionally experiment with other changes to my physical appearance. If you've asked about it, or overheard me talking to someone about it, you'll know it's because I'm a metamorphmagus. 2. Depending on my mood (and on the person, and their reasons for asking), I may or may not be willing to demonstrate the full spectrum of this ability. If I suspect you might be trying to make fun of me, the answer is definitely no. 3. I have two mums (and two younger siblings). My family has its problems like everyone else's, but if you insinuate that any of them are because there's no dad in the picture, I will verbally tear you a new one. You may also know that my extended family is huge. 4. I am outgoing and appear confident. When not in class, I am usually found in a small/medium group of people, or with my nose in a book. 5. I am the 7th year Ravenclaw prefect, and I administer punishments fairly.
5 Things MY FRIENDS Know About Me 1. I am adventurous, but tend to wimp out when it comes to things that most people find normal. I have no fear of heights and can stand at the edge of a cliff without freaking out, but have never been able to bring myself to walk over a simple old grate in the sidewalk. It's not because I'm squeamish about the things that might be found in a sewer, either. If you have pressed me about it, you might know that it's because they make me feel terrified that I will melt and slide away down the drain. Strangely enough, shower drains and the like don't freak me out in quite the same way. 2. I have a ton of hobbies, and am willing to try anything that keeps my mind occupied. Art doesn't quite do it for me, but board games and chess are loads of fun -- might be the fact that there are other people involved. I'm playfully competitive, but I'm not a sore loser. 3. I tend to avoid my own serious emotional conflicts, and can be kind of escapist about them. If you need a hug or someone to listen to you, though, I'm willing. 4. I find quieter, nerdier boys incredibly attractive. The more awkward, the better. I try to make them feel comfortable around me, but I actually find their discomfort endearing... and flattering. I'm not amazing with relationships, but I'm very comfortable in my sexuality. That's something, right? 5. I've no idea what I'm going to be when I graduate. I want to do something that makes use of my abilities and gives them a purpose (like law enforcement, or entertainment), but I'm not sure if that's really me. As a back-up plan, I intend to be a librarian or maybe a professor.
5 Things NO ONE Knows About Me 1. I am still deeply terrified that I am some kind of freakish genetic mutation, and that I will end up looking partially melted or deformed in some way. Every time someone looks at me funny, I have to take a moment to assess whether something has gone wrong with me. 2. I want to find out who my biological father is, and find out whether he's a metamorphmagus like me, or whether he's normal like my siblings. But I am also afraid to look -- what if I find him and all my worst fears about my abilities turn out to be true? 3. Partial transfiguration mess-ups in class make me nauseous. (Professor Mulligan knows this, but no one else does. When anyone else asks why my hair has gone all mousy and almost grey, I just tell them I'm not feeling well, but not why.) 4. I wish I had a better relationship with my sister. I love Michael, but he's younger and a boy -- which is probably why we actually get along. I suspect that the real reason for the tension between Mallory and I is because we aren't very different, with the exception of my being a meta, she secretly thinks I'm incredibly weird and doesn't want to tell me. 5. I also wonder if people judge me for being straight when my parents are gay - or whether they would judge me even more if I were more like my mums that way. But this is one of the few things people might judge me for that doesn't really bother me at all.
Everything else you might need to know is here! So - what do your kiddos think of her? Friends, frienemies, enemies, boyfriends, ex-boyfriends... I'm up for anything. Oh, and I want all the family plots too, obvs :D
