Ess

**Ess** is a crew member of the Starship Tetra. She is the daughter of Ex, who left Ess when she was younger, leaving Zed to take care of her until Ex returned.

Ess is based on the S-shaped Tetromino. As such, her color scheme is based on the current assigned color for the Tetromino. She carries along an umbrella.

Ess appears cute and innocent at first glance. However, she is quite bratty and rude to others, especially when they annoy her or bother her when she's doing something. However, she acts warmly and respectful in front of her 'Papa'.

## Relationships

### Amitie

Ess typically finds Amitie's ditziness to be irritating and claims to not get along well with her. In *Puyo Puyo Tetris*, Amitie stated that she and Ess became closer during their adventure, though Ess argued otherwise.

Her relationship with Amitie improves during *Puyo Puyo Tetris 2*, as this is the second time the two have met and Amitie can tell that there is more to Ess than meets the eye. By the end of the adventue, Ess tells Amitie to stop crying because she's happy to have gotten the chance to meet Amitie and the rest of her friends. Even if the two of them will eventually forget each other, the time they spent together and the bond they share would remain in their hearts. Particularly, this is evident in her philosophical questioning of Amitie, which is calm and even considered love-filled unlike her initial attitude towards her, showing her tremendous character growth arc in PPT2; “if you knew from the start that we would have to part ways at the end, would you have chosen not to meet us at all just so you wouldn’t have to go through the pain of saying goodbye?”.

### Ex

Ex is Ess' biological father, he was forced to leave her behind to be raised by Zed when he was called to become the Keeper of Dimensions. Ess doesn't recognize him as her father, to the point of getting angry at him due to his neglect in keeping the Puyo and Tetris worlds from merging. During *Puyo Puyo Tetris*, she gets a strange feeling that she knows him, despite not meeting him before.

The two interact less in *Puyo Puyo Tetris 2*, though she's irritated with him at the beginning of the story for taking Tee without bothering to explain what was going on.

### Tee

As Ess is the first mate of the S.S. Tetra, Ess works closely with Tee as his second-in-command. She commands the crew when he is absent, but she is occasionally annoyed by his bland personality and tendency to forget about her.

### Zed

Ess refers to Zed as her "Papa", as he was left aboard the S.S Tetra by Ex to raise her when he had to fulfill his duties as the Keeper of Dimensions. She acts warmly towards him and admires him a lot, and gets angry when anyone questions how Zed could be her father, revealing it to be a touchy subject for her.
