Tessa Merossa

* Tessa-Outfit\_1
* Tessa-Outfit\_2

Tessa Merossa is one of the main characters of 'Fox-Eared Detective'. She is part of the "Fox Incorporated', like Deshya and Maruno. She is also someone people call "Genie", but failed her class two times and is two years behind. She is a fun and cool girl that loves to tease others.

## Looks

Tessa has beautiful green eyes and really long purple hair with pink highlights : she had brown hairs before coloring it. She sometimes wear a cap, but often wears black or dark outfits. She even has tatoos on her left arms of dark roses.

## Personality

Tessa is a really fun girl who likes to make herself looks cool, that is by the outfits she wears or the way she talks and acts. She really likes Deshya and Maruno and teases them a lot, even if she doees it more on Maruno. She doesn't mind being called a 'genie'. Her favorite detective is 'Ayumi Steel', even though she likes 'Minos Kiyon' and 'Kira Miname' a lot too.

Tessa can be pushy about things, like "what is under Deshya's hoodie". She will go as far as to play a game of Poker with Deshya to try to learn the truth, having no shame in going that far. Though, Tessa will lose and promise to stop bothering Deshya about it. Speaking of games, Tessa is pretty observant and knows when to take risk or when to calm down; though, her "logical play" can go against her, like seen in the "Red And Black Clash Game": Tessa has a hard time to play against someone who doesn't use any bit of logic, but only feelings or 'scattered'. That's why Tessa was winning at first, but finally lost. She can also lose patience quickly, which makes her dance in the palms of her opponents. Something else to underline is about her own instinct: she relies on it as she thinks it is often right and made her the one she is today.

It's still unknown what Tessa really thinks about Deshya, because she was able to kiss her like it was nothing, but didn't seem to feel anything romantic for her. Though, she still blushes without understanding why, which maybe means Tessa hides her romantic interest for Deshya.

## Skills

### Intelligence

At her school, the *Tetazo Highscool*, she is considered to be one of the 3 'Geniuses' of that school, along *Deshya Oveja* and *Maruno Uffite*. While she failed two times her school year, it doesn't reflect her intellect at all.

### 'Instinct'

Tessa relies a lot on her own instinct. She thinks that it is one of the thing that made her who she is, at the 'place' she is - in terms of being considered a genie. She listens to it pretty often and more times than not, it is right.

## Relationships

### - With Deshya:

Tessa is in the same group as her, the 'Fox Incorporated'. She really likes Deshya and sees her as a close friend. She doesn't mind being clingy with her and have a cuter side when she is around Deshya.

### - With Maruno:

Tessa teases Maruno a lot, but likes him a lot as well. She is as close as him as Deshya.

### - With Frie:

Tessa doesn't seems to think too much about Frie, but doesn't dislike her.

## Plot overview

Tessa is one of the main character of this story, but also a recurrent character that will be seen a lot during the series.

### **Blushark's Explosive Kitchen Case** (Chapter 001 -> Chapter 004)

Tessa is first introduced in this Case and we learn that she is in the same group as Deshya and Maruno, as well failed two different years at school.

### **The Never-Stopping Train Case** (Chapter 005 -> 012)

We learn more about Tessa and not only her intelligence, but also her ability to stay cool even in a high-pressure situation, but also with murders. Another thing is about her own 'instinct' and how it made her the way she is today.

### **The Red And Black Clash Game** (Chapter 017 -> 024)

Tessa promises to stop asking Deshya about what she has understand her hoodie if Deshya is the one who wins the Poker Game; otherwise, Deshya has to show Tessa what is under there. While we think Tessa is suspicious about her being a true fox-girl, it's confirmed at the end that she just thinks Deshya hides a start of baldness or something like that. Also, she accepts to kiss Deshya without any problem and even if Tessa doesn't seem to be flustered by it or even feels anything romantic for Deshya, we can see her blush at the end.
