Terra the Ocelot/Sonic Reborn

==Appearance==
Tessa is an ocelot standing at 3'2 and weighing 90 pounds. She has dull, goldenrod-colored fur, along with light brown spots all over her body. She has a long, spotless yellow tail, along with retractable claws. She also has blonde, short hair that reaches to the bottom of her head, and bangs that cover most of her forehead.
Tessa wears a rather simplistic outfit, donning a green shirt that says "CLAWS OUT" with a picture of a claw on it in all caps and bolded letters and with grey pants, white gloves, and green shoes.
==Personality==
Tessa is a very responsible person, which she kind of has to be, considering she's the oldest of seven siblings. Living this life has caused her to be able to deal with siblings well... however, the older you are, the higher chance you will be pretty strict and admittedly rude to you, because she assumes you can handle it.
Tessa is also very prideful, seeing herself as the carrier of her family's next generation's pride, along with never wanting to disappoint herself, her peers, or her family. She will always try hard not to falter, though this may evoke her doing reckless things for pretty dumb reasons.
Tessa is quite difficult to befriend, due to her rather off-putting behavior. She rarely ever searches for companionship, and due to that, doesn't really filter what she says to you, and though she'll probably not say it, if she knows little about you and/or has had bad experiences with you, she honestly doesn't really care about your existence.
Tessa doesn't like to leave mysteries unsolved. She is very curious, and will investigate things she finds suspicious, whether it be people, things, concepts, you name it. She will always get to the nitty-gritty to find out what needs to be uncovered, even if the end result is satisfying. So be careful not to show any strange behavior around Tessa, or you're in for something!
Tessa is a also a very hardworking individual, always setting goals for her future in order to improve herself. This means that sometimes, she tries to push the limits that she's sued that... that may be a good or bad thing, depending on the circumstances. Tessa may also try to hard, which means that she could end up trying too hard, and disappointed due to failing to reach the high goals she put for herself.
Tessa cares about the people she's close to very much, and tends to know a lot about them. Due to this, she is very protective, both because of her nature and because that's what having eight younger siblings can do to you. So, when she feels like someone she cares about that much is being threatened by someone or something, she will immediately jump to action, leaving no time to tell the offender to back off. This may appear as brash or rather foolish, but this brings up a very important thing in Tessa's character - the fact that the people she loves can make her act very differently.
==History==
Tessa Marvel the Ocelot was born to Aster Marvel and Flora Marvel in a relatively new and small family. Tessa was just like your any other kid, living a very simple life. However, when she was three, her first younger sister was born, Sheena Marvel. At first, it was normal - though Tessa was jealous that Sheena got all the attention, the phase passed, and they started to grow up like a normal family again. Then, Tessa would learn something very important - her parents would never be satisfied. After Sheena, another son came. And a few years after that, another daughter. The cycle would repeat again and again until finally... Tessa was a fourteen-year-old with seven siblings.
==Skills==
Tessa has no natural abilities that she just got because she was lucky - no, she had to train hard for the things she has achieved. One of these things is her speed, which rivals Skid the Hedgehog and even surpasses him. She is able to create afterimages, seemingly teleport in yellow bursts, and even phase through solid objects if she reaches a fast enough vibration throughout her body. This means that she is very much a fighter who relies on pressure and taking opportunities to overwhelm and outspeed the opponent. Along with that, Tessa can definitely pack a punch, though her lack of powers means that she usually has to resort to using the speed behind her attacks to generate enough force to damage her opponents.
Tessa is also skilled with her claws, something that she learned how to use efficiently at a very young age. Along with her speed, her claws can make for some very important blows that do more damage to the opponent, and they add a bit of range to her attacks, too. They can also psyche an opponent out, due to them being retractable. However, they are still a part of her body, which means that if you hit her claws, she will feel pain.
Tessa uses her tail for grappling, whether it be in combat or just in everyday life. Due to it's long range, it has a number of uses - she could use to as an extra hand to carry things, she could use for threatening when cracking it in the air, she could squeeze an opponent with it, she could throw the opponent off with it, she could jab at the opponent repeatedly... it has a number of uses. However, it also comes with a very large weakness - if you yank on it, Tessa becomes very sore, and she is not able to use it at all. It sends pain throughout her entire body.
Tessa has a few named techniques that she uses in battle, including:
*Nike Stance - Tessa switches between slowing her body down and speeding it up rapidly, disorienting anyone trying to watch her movements and causing her to leave afterimages behind. However, this results in long-distance movements being slower, so she usually utilizes this is sudden bursts, that are also named.
**Nike Stance: Gekiken - Tessa reels back her fist or leg and attacks the opponent within range. While it sounds simple, with this, the opponent will feel the impact of Tessa hitting them five separate times. Combine multiple of these in a series of attacks, and her opponent will be feeling the pain.
**Nike Stance: Donfu - Tessa does the same attack as Volatile, but in long range. This causes her to punch air with enough force to blast it at the opponent, and like with Volatile, this is repeated five times. Basically, by punching really hard, Tessa sends five wind blasts at the opponent.
**Nike Stance: Teffu - Tessa does the Nike Stance with her arm and chops the air with so much power, she releases a sharp slash of wind at the opponent. This attack is not repeated five times, but its aim is far more consistent, and the wind is sharp enough to slice through metal.
**Nike Stance: Kazehanaru - Tessa uses the Nike Stance on her hands and quickly blocks air from entering a small, sphere-like area. Then, once the air is isolated, Tessa claps, and it is fiercely blasted in all areas, serving as a good "get off me" option.
**Nike Stance: Senban - This is Tessa's "super attack" of sorts. Tessa moves extremely quickly, striking her opponent and then jumping off of them. The momentum of the speed she approached them at would cause her opponent to be launched, but Tessa uses her speed to instead go onto the other side of the opponent and repeat her attack. She does this several, several times, attacking her opponent from everywhere, seemingly all at once. Then, she finishes her onslaught with a Nike Stance: Gekiken to the chest, launching them away as the opponent feels all the damage they taken at once.
*Zephyrus Top - Tessa spins on one leg while sticking her arms out, causing several waves of wind to be blasted around her. However, While it does have a longer effect, as Tessa spins, she will get dizzy, so she can only do it for so long, and even then she'll be disoriented.
*Dolos' Field - Tessa moves quickly, creating a field of afterimages so that her opponent won't know which one is real. However, this only works if Tessa is faster than her opponent; if she isn't then it just looks like Tessa running around.
