LIFE NOTES: -- Early Life
  • Tessa was born in San Francisco, CA, USA, but her parents moved the family to a smalltown ranch in Colorado when she was three years old. The ranch was owned by her father's older married brother (Tessa's only uncle), and his wife (Tessa's only aunt). Tessa's father became the local police sheriff, and her mother helped run the ranch. Tessa spent her childhood on the ranch, among horses, cats, and other ranch animals.
  • Tessa's grandfather was the San Francisco police chief when she was born.
  • Tessa was raised by Christian/Lutheran parents.
  • Tessa attended a Lutheran grade school (in Colorado), and a Lutheran high school (in San Francisco, after moving back to the big city).
  • Tessa developed a passion for horses at an early age.
  • Tessa learned to play soccer, and played it regularly with friends.
  • Just before her high school years, Tessa's parents moved the family back to San Francisco, and her father was chosen to replace his father (Tessa's grandfather) as the city's next police chief.
  • Tessa played soccer on her high school team.
  • Tessa has a charming beauty about her. She has a limited dating life before the age of 18, as she was usually preoccupied with other interests.
  • Tessa has a longing to return to her uncle's Colorado ranch whenever possible.
  • Tessa had an earlier pet cat, when she was in San Francisco, during her HS years.
  • Tessa loves to sing, and has a lovely voice.


LIFE NOTES: -- Starfleet Academy

  • Tessa played soccer on the Academy soccer team.
  • Tessa auditioned to be in the Women's Glee Club, but didn't make the cut.
  • Tessa narrowly passed your audition to be in the Academy Protestant Choir.
  • Being a member of the Equestrian Club was a no-brainer. Tessa knows horses.
  • Tessa spent time among fellow Lutherans in her spare time.

  • Tessa had friendships at the Academy, but did not pursue any dating relationships.
