Tess Orthetz

:"Uhh - good morning to people who had two dogs as a child, SGA agents with rhyming first and last names, and... people who are allergic to eggs!" - Tess establishing her daily targets.
Tess 'Dawnbreak' Orthetz is an UNWD agent and martial artist. She has the ability to deal additional damage to very specific groups of people - groups that she chooses daily.
==Character==
===Appearance===
Dawnbreak is a human woman of middling height with sandy-toned skin and red hair. She wears loose red trousers and a split-colour orange and yellow shirt over black under-armour, with black fingerless gloves. She wears black shoes, a yellow and orange hair bow, and a red visor. She has freckles.
===Personality===
Somewhat flighty and forgetful, she is easily distracted but very hardworking. Despite being a little clueless, she is well-meaning, friendly and a big team player. She has a touch of sidekick syndrome and tends not to take a leader role, having some difficulty taking initiative on missions. Her hobbies are shown to include rhythm arcade games, capoeira and interpretive dance.
===Skills & Abilities===
Her main ability is her masterful use of martial arts, using mixed forms of combat to tackle foes who are larger, stronger and more well-armed than herself. She is quick, stable and has blinding reflexes. However, she has a special power in the form of Target Buffing - at dawn each day she can pick up to three groups of people, and for 24 hours her attacks will deal increased damage with extra attack effects to enemies belonging to those groups. She cannot choose one group twice, so her groups become more bizarrely specific the more she uses her power. Targets belonging to multiple groups suffer even more additional damage when struck.
Groups she has chosen in the past include people allergic to beans, nerds who don't know they're gay yet, men who dislike musicals, volunteer firefighters currently battling laryngitis, softball team leaders, beautiful gentleman thieves, people who sing when home alone, third-time ukelele learners, Americans that shower with knives, and orbs.
==History==
Though her backstory has not been explored, she mentions training her martial arts skills in the Himalayas for many years before joining the UNWD. Following the Zopran invasion, she aided in clearing out gnomish strongholds in Russia.
==Relationships==
===Agent 47===
:"Goooood morning, muscular Australian women, agents with sleeve tattoos, and people about to lose a sparring match!”
47 and Dawnbreak are frequent sparring partners. The two are nearly evenly matched, with 47 being the better fighter - especially with improvised weaponry and freeform wrestling - but their skills in this area are close.
==Trivia==
* Her title of Dawnbreak is a reference both to her breaking strikes and early training regime, and to her picking her target groups at dawn.
