## Appearance

Tess has wavy blonde chin-length hair, blue eyes, and light skin. She usually wears an olive army jacket with several patches over a striped grey-blue t-shirt and blue jeans. She also has a nose piercing and earrings.

In Poe's route, when she is turning into a falcon, her arms and hair are covered with orange feathers. In the later chapters of his route, she is seen as a ghost, and you can see through her skin. In Howie's route, she turns into a zombie and her skin turns blue.

## Personality

Courageous and clever, Tess is quick to get in on the action. She prefers to fight rather than run or hide from danger, as shown when she clobbers a zombie with her guitar case.

Tess also has a softer side, which she reveals infrequently. One such occasion is when she admits that she wants to find her soulmate in Los Angeles.
