__TOC__
==General Description==
Tessa Lamb is the former Game Warden of the San Andreas State Park Rangers.
She was also the Owner of Right of Way Driving School before it closed.
After retiring from the Police Department, Tessa went to rehab due to her rampant alcoholism that she developed following the death of her father Sam Baas among other comrades and friends. After she completed her rehab, she then went on an adventure around the world, mostly with a focus on wildlife, and avoiding human contact as much as possible.
==Personality==
Tessa has changed a lot over the past several years. She has gone from innocent and naive, to bold and confident, to breaking down slowly but surely. Her love of animals is one of the few things that has remained a constant part of her life.
She became jaded over the past several of years in the city. She can see the flaws and corruption of everyone around her. She has had to become more cunning and manipulative in order to stay ahead of the flow of the city. She learned to be a leader from her experience in the Rangers, and will continue to rely on these traits as she enters the next chapter of her life.
==Background Information==
Tessa grew up in an unhealthy household. Her parents, Don and Tina, were alcoholics who constantly fought. If she didn't make herself scarce, they would turn their anger onto her. She only found solace in her pet dog, Maisy.
Her parents were irresponsible and didn't get Maisy fixed, so she ended up pregnant with five puppies. When she gave birth, Tessa's parents wouldn't let Maisy in the house. In a fit of anger and sadness that her one source of comfort was being hurt, she set the house on fire, ending with the death of her parents. This caused intense scarring on her hands. She has said that this was "the only way".
Her adoptive family is far more important to her however, with her late father being Sam Baas, with all of his other adopted kids, and her cousin that she sees as a brother Johnny Divine.
==Returning to Los Santos==
Upon return to Los Santos, it was evident that Tessa had changed. She had no desire to return to the stressful and unrewarding work within the PD, and is working to find her new path in life. She had picked up some 'bad' habits from the places she visited during her travels, such as no longer strictly obeying the traffic laws (which comes as a necessity in some of those countries). Also, no longer shackled by the chains of duty, Tessa is now free to be friends with who she wants, keep secrets like she used to, and dip her feet into the underground factions of the city like she was never able to before.
After a few days of being back in the city, making connections, and rekindling old friendships, Tessa was invited by Luciano DiCenzo to join their family after they unanimously voted to bring her in. Tessa wasn't sure how deep she would go with this new life, but she was willing and eager to put in the work for her friends and newfound family.
She later joined Juno Sweeney as co-manager of the mayoral campaign of Maximilian Thoroughbred. Although she has not done much with Max since his election, she still maintains a friendly connection with the new Mayor.
The family eventually proved to not be a proper fit for Tessa, and she left them behind to find something that she could match better with. The family itself completely collapsed the following day, and there is still some drama and fallout from that. Tessa still keeps in touch with some of the former members such as Tommy DeVito and Tiny Tony
After leaving the family she was invited by Jay Que to join him and his informal crew in their hunt for a group of people that could work together, but didn't have the restrictions and limitations of a crew that was giving Tessa grief with the Italians.
She ended up assisting Jay, Malakai Anderson, Damien Tinkerman, and a few others in purchasing a home up in Paleto. Tessa has been working on getting the home decorated so that it is both functional and pleasant to live in.
Tessa is working on starting a new business, the San Andreas Derby which is a hobby horsing league. She is working on selling custom hobby horses, and in the prep stages of getting things such as racing/sporting events set up including gambling on races at the Casino race track.
