Tessra Ealomiel

**Tessra Ealomiel** was a Sun Elf sorceress and a founding member of the Saffron Seven.

## Description

### Appearance

Tessra was short for an elf at 5'02". She had a lithe build, with pale skin and golden hair. Her eyes were a deep amber. She wore enough makeup to be "presentable", though she usually eschewed nonmagical jewelry. She was considered beautiful, allowing her to be quite persuasive toward the simple male population of Faldendorf.

She tried to tress fashionably when not on the job, preferring corsets and dresses that are both well made and easy to dance in. On the job, she wore her traditional black and red attire. She had a few tattoos, but it's not known when or why she got them, or what they meant. She usually tried to keep them covered.

### Personality

Tessra was blunt and aloof with her traveling companions. She didn't put on airs or dance around a subject; she spoke her mind, whether it sounded rude or not. That's not to say she was unpleasant; Tessra was polite and kind, with a good sense of humor. But she didn't like to waste time or pretend to feel something she didn't for someone else's convenience.

For an elf, she had a surprisingly easy time adapting to human culture. She was shrewd, resourceful, and knowledgeable about magical subjects. She did not back down from danger, unmoved by anything but the very worst of circumstances.

She was not a particularly open person, mingling with the party the least.Of the group, she tended to speak or offer her opinion last and even then, only when asked. She didn't particularly care what the group did, so long as it wasn't blatantly or suicidal.

Despite that, she was a professional. She did her job, risked her life, and always tried to pull her friends out of the fire when she could. She was a good team player, happy to support the group by raining literal fire down from above.

## Biography

### Background

Little is known of Tessra's background, which was fine by her; Tessra was, by her own admission, somewhat secretive.

She was born in the Ilaan Expanse to a family of High Elves. She was neither the oldest nor the youngest of her family. It is not known when her magic first developed, but it is known that she did not study at any sort of magical institution.

For reasons unknown, Tessra left the forest and set out on her own three years before the start of the game. She lived in a small village in the Ozmit Empire, working as a barmaid until she had to use her magic to protect her bar from invading orcs. The townspeople, seeing this display, chased her out of town.

With time, she fell in with the Adventurer's Union. After working a few jobs, she met up with the tiefling priestess **Ella**, and they quickly became friends. After working their first job together, they agreed to remain a duo and continuined to travel and work together.

### In the Game

Their journey would eventually take them to the town of **Faldendorf** where she and Ella would be hired for a simple job of ridding the area of pesky bandits. Oh, if it only it had been that simple...

## Relationships

### Ella

Ella was Tessra's best friend and the only person she had ever really opened up to. The cleric knew more about Tessra and her past than anybody. Ella was sincere and sweet, and Tessra admired that about her. The pair often spent downtime together, and on a job, Ella tended to be the first person Tessra worried about when things start going downhill.

Tessra broken up about Ella's death and didn't have time to really process it before meeting her own end.

### Ilias

The aasimar was a mystery to Tessra. With time, she had come to appreciate Ilias for being surprisingly sincere and she appreciated that she could take what he says at face value. She thought he was too hard on himself, but trusted him as a leader, which was really a nice change of pace.

### Jade

Tessra sort of adored Jade. The goliath is just...she just *is.* Jade is unapologetically Jade and there was a certain comfort in knowing someone like her exists. More than that, Tessra trusted Jade's strength and unrelenting courage on the field of battle.

### Roark

Like her other teammates, Tessra trusted Roark to keep her alive in a fight but she was never sure how much she trusts him beyond that.

### Gather Boggle

She trusted the gnome about as far as she could throw him. They met under good circumstances but she had learned to keep an eye on the shifty little guy. She could respect his quickly-growing mastery over the arcane arts, but at the same time, his secretive nature put her at ill-ease. Ironic, I'm aware.
