Tessa

== Summary ==
Tessa is one of the four protagonists of Red Earth and a talented magician from the country of Icelarn. She devoted her life to the study of magic, science and nature, looking to uncover the mysteries of the world and unite ancient knowledge with modern breathroughs. When the mad wizard Scion unleashed his dark magic upon the planet, Tessa made it her mission to prevent his newly arisen empire from conquering the world.
Tessa travelled across several countries, battling all sort of monsters while saving countless lives, thus earning fame as a heroine. As she further investigated the origins of the evil forces, she eventually reached the flying castle of Darmenor, where she confronted and defeated Blade, the empire's general, and Scion himself. Not convinced that Scion could have done all that by himself, she entered her lab and discovered a monstrous newborn being breed. Questioning whether it was Scion to control this creature or the other way around, Tessa's story splits in two endings: She either seals it away forever or falls victim of its evil charm and brings it with her, wondering what secrets will it reveal once grown.
She is 163 cm tall, weights 48 kg and her blood type is AB.All About War-Zard - Tessa's Profile
