Emily here! Since I'm going to be putting down some characters before the timeskip (namely Cal) and writing out some others over the timeskip (Tuck, and possibly Luke, temporarily), I have a new troublemaker to introduce in the meantime. This is Treasa (Tra-suh, but she often goes by Tess) Lawless, Radha Laweless' little sister. She's a local Searu, like her sister, so she likely has some connections with other Aurellians in town! Her full application's here but here are some relevant facts:
Pink's new character Radha is her older sister/favorite person/only family she has left (their mom died when the girls were young and their dad skipped town when the sisters were in their 20s)
She's been working at Heron's Bookshop for over a decade and is a fixture there (she's now head shopkeeper). She's an avid reader.
She has papyrokinsis (paper manipulation) which she mostly uses to move books around, but can also help her speed-read, fix damaged paper, and make some pretty sweet origami-like papercrafts. This ability is currently bound.
She's tight with Niamh and lives with Niamh and Naimh's sibling
She has an unknown degenerative illness and sometimes uses crutches to help her get around. Rye hasn't been able to heal it but can help her manage the symptoms (when Rye's Gift doesn't accidentally electrocute her rip)
In public, esp at her job, she is charming, eloquent, and will manipulate you however she has to make a sale. In private, she's loud, rambunctious, foul-mouthed, and surprisingly cuddly. She loves shiny things.
She's not in the resistance (despite both her dumbass sister and her bff being Roans) but she does have some sympathies in that direction. She doesn't hate the Cloves as much as some folks do, since she figures their money spends as well as anyone else's does, and they're likely to have more of it.
I reckon Tess won't have any major plotlines until after the time skip, but I wanted to introduce her now so I can get a feel for her and set up some connections for a while before we make the jump. Bring me friends, enemies, exes, crushes, mutual fascinations, people she's recommended books to, people she's smoothly overcharged, people who don't trust her because Lawless girls aren't trustworthy, etc. etc.! I'm here for all of it.
