## Overview

### Description

Tess doesn't come from a well-off family, but despite their hardships, her parents spent a significant proportion of what little money they had on a better education for their daughter. They hoped that she could eventually propel the family to a higher socioeconomic class.<br\>
Tess is always enthusiastic and optimistic. She has dreams of becoming a magician, but her poor stage ability often lets her down. But with the Adjutant's encouragement, she remains determined to hold onto her dream.<br\>
In order to perform in front of the Adjutant again and try to improve the status of her family, Tess entered the Manifestation selection process before college. After being injected with Baldr Inhibitors, she became a Manifestation.

 Tess opens up a Hall of Phantasm and conceals herself within, inviting another operative to join the fun on the field.

Tess can perform 1 Heartfelt Illusion attack every 2 sec.
Hall of Phantasm lasts for 25 sec, clearing all U-Energy upon its end.
