Tess Fenchurch is the mother and mentor to Lilac Fenchurch. She serves as a driving force for the main group as their story continues and gives advice/encouragement to follow through with their decisions. She is part of a group known as the Remnants.

## Appearance

Tess is a 38 year old adult woman standing at 5 feet and 6 inches. She has shoulder length purple hair with a black bow hair pin on the left side. Tess has heterochromia which makes her left eye Grey and the right eye Black. She has a fair skin tone with a few noticeable tan lines on her legs. Her bust rests at the cusp of a D cup but is still considered C. Her body has an athletic build with defined curves, more so at her hips, giving a slight hourglass figure. Tess is typically seen wearing casual clothing such as a simple black t-shirt, a purple skirt, knee high white socks, sneakers, and black framed glasses. However if she needs to do something important her attire changes drastically. She wears a closed black hooded trench coat, black pants, boots, and a gradient purple-black cloak.

Tess is a Demi-Human/Faunus, she has traits that belong to a Grey Wolf. She has a set of grey wolf ears at the top of her head with the black bow hair pin attached to the left one. Tess also has an extremely large grey wolf tail which is stated to be impossibly fluffy as per her strict maintainment routine. Tess also has retractable claws beneath her nails, and larger canine teeth.

## Personality

Tess is very laid back and can be reclusive around unfamiliar people, but she becomes very social amongst her friends or when speaking to her children and husband. She values the connections between her friends so much that if one turned their back on the group she'd never forgive that person. Due to her status as a Demi-Human/Faunus, Tess sometimes unintentionally lets the animalistic side of her out, specifically when meat is around. She prefers beef.

In battle or stressful situations it is as if a switch is flipped within her. Tess becomes cold, calculating, and loses the warmth she is known for. She says it's a small quirk but it apparently runs in her family and is amplified by her father Callum.

## History

### Shattering the Reality Barrier

Years before Tess would give birth to Lilac and Oliver she was involved in a battle to save the Self Contained Multiverse or SCM for short. An evil and corrupted version of her father, who had destroyed multiple universes withing the SCM beforehand, was preparing to shatter the Reality Barrier which separated the SCM and the bigger Multiverse behind it so he could destroy it as well. She was part of a group known as the "Originals" as they all had some form of connection with the corrupted Callum. During the hard-fought battle all seemed lost until Tess's father, a non corrupted Callum, arrived to assist. The two of them managed to stop the shattering of the Reality Barrier and Tess landed the killing blow with her weapon Izanagi. However something beckoned her to the pedestal that managed the barrier's integrity. Upon laying her hands on it the Barrier shattered, non violently, and the worlds where the Originals had come from began to crumble as they were pulled into the now shattered Barrier and into the Multiverse. One by one the group would disappear as their worlds passed the threshold of the Barrier. Eventually on she, Callum, and her sister Nia were left. Callum's world began to crumble and they too were taken leaving Tess alone in the void. She was scared, but knew that her new life would soon begin on the other side. And then, she too began to disappear while she joined the Multiverse causing a Nexus Event.

### New Home: Earth

Waking up in a new world, Tess's mind was filled with memories she never had before. After her disappearance from the now nonexistent SCM her new self lived most of her life before giving the true Tess control along with the new memories. From this point onward Tess and her friends from Remnant (Her previous home) slowly met up and recalled their previous life and what had caused them to arrive on their new home Earth. Unbeknownst to her, Tess had kickstarted the events to come and had carved out Lilac's future path.

### The Nexus Chronicles

Tess's involvement throughout the course of the story differs as she decided to live her life peacefully for a while. She trained Lilac and Oliver in stealth and taught them skills many would think unconventional, such as reading lips and knowing morse code. Otherwise, she acts like an anchor for her children and their friends offering advice on how to proceed with situations or simply motivating them. Towards the end of the story Tess takes a much more front and center role alongside Itsuki, actively helping the others achieve their goals in the face of certain death. They are unfortunately killed while being broken down atom by atom while defending the others from Lea's acidic fog. She and Itsuki are brought back by Lilac's ability to rewind time but they remember none of the events that occurred.

## Abilities

### Silhouette

Tess is able to manipulate her shadow and the shadows of other people. While her ability is active, Tess can either choose to make her shadow extend from herself or move around as its own entity freely. If she chooses the latter, her soles will glow indicating that she has no shadow and it is moving around the environment. The shadow is capable of extending its range almost indefinitely by going from shadow to shadow but can be forced to retread if introduced to sudden light.

* **Headaches:** One of the main drawbacks of Tess's ability is the headaches she gets if her shadow is forced to return to her. The further it goes the stronger the headache to a crippling degree.
* **Shadow Sight:** Tess is able to view the world through he shadow's eyes. The biggest downside is the absence of color and clear vision making the world seem like very blurry objects or blobs, Tess can also hear from her shadow as well.

### Ice Control

Due to certain circumstances in her previous life, Tess has the ability to make, and control ice. While it is a simple ability she has been shown to be extremely skilled with it and has at times frozen an individuals blood throughout their entire body which resulted in their death.

## Nexus Link

When her Nexus Link is active, Tess's shadow is no longer confined to a 2 dimensional plane and can move far more freely than before. It is also much stronger and can create copies of itself as long as the Link is active. Tess's strongest attack while in this state involves creating a large plane of shadow which closes itself like a cage and forms jagged spikes that impale enemies until they can no longer fight back.

## Demi Human Traits

Since she is a Demi-Human, Tess has the features of an animal that originates from Earth. In this case it is a Grey Wolf.

* **Wolf Ears:** Tess has a set of Grey Wolf ears at the top of her head, they provided her with enhanced hearing and allowed her to listen in on conversations from a good distance.
* **Fangs:** Tess's canine teeth are elongated and appear as fangs. They allow her to bite into meat effectively and act as a weapon if she is disarmed.
* **Wolf Tail:** Tess has a large Grey Wolf tail that is abnormally fluffy, far more than Lilac's.
* **Enhanced Scent:** Tess's nose picks up smells far better than the human nose, due to her training she is able to follow scent trails of an individual.
* **Nightvision:** Tess can see in the dark as if it was lit up by an external source of light. In pitch black darkness it is seen as dim light.
