POWERS AND SKILLS
Powers:
  • Animal Shapeshiftng: Tess has the ability to rapidly shapeshift into any animal while fully retaining her own mind. As an animal, Tess is always a light yellowish hue. In most cases, she isn't readily discernible from other animals, but there are some cases where she can easily be noticed among others. As an animal, Tess is also stronger and faster than the original animal to a certain degree. While transforming into a Rhino would allow her to flip large vehicles with ease. As a dog, she can carry an adult man without a problem.
    Tess also cannot transform into a male animal, and is always an adult animal. Most times, this isn't a big deal, but for some animals she loses status and capability (As a deer, she has no horns. As a wolf, she has to submit to the alpha male to be a member of the pack).
    Again, transformations are very quick, happening within a second.
    Sixth Sense: Like animals, Tess has a sixth sense about certain things. She can identify Metahumans as different, but can't know their powers unless they display them. She also can identify harmful, intangible substances, like radiation or airborne poison, allowing her to avoid them. Finally Tess also has heightened reactions. This power extends to all animal forms and human form.
Power Weaknesses or Limitations: Tess is susceptible to all the weaknesses of the animals she transforms into. As a bird, her bones are hollow. As a Gecko, she can still be stepped on.
Power Source: Internal
Fighting Skills / Disciplines: As a human, the most Tess could do is flail uncontrollably. As an animal, however, she is quite capable of defending herself, from both people and other animals.
Other Skills: None

Personality: Perhaps from such long stints as animals, Tess has numerous animalistic tendencies found in other mammals. She is very curious, but cautious to sudden movements and sounds. She is pleasant enough when pleased, but is vicious when angry and is quick to it. Only the powerful gain her respect, and she oftentimes throws her weight around to gain dominance. She is also ignorant to most cultural norms and finds normal behavior quite frustrating.
Psychological Weaknesses: Since she is rarely a human, Tess has lost touch of her human side. Tess cannot read and doesn't understand many complex words.
She also suffers from multiple personality disorder due to the fact she's spent extended periods of time as specific animals. She finds it unnerving to be spoken to or even acknowledged most of the time by humans(as an animal, she would typically be ignored or left alone most of the time), which pisses her off..
As a human, Tess needs more emotionally than animals, but she oftentimes doesn't enjoy the company of others. This puts her in a tough spot, outsider to animals, humans, and metahumans.
Goals: Survival
Allegiances: Herself

HISTORY
Tess grew up on the outskirts of the Mojave, although she can hardly recall it. One day, as a 7 year old, she woke up one morning as a penguin. Thoroughly freaked out, she stumbled around her room for hours until she figured how to change herself back. From then on, Tess began going out after school as animals. First, for an hour. Hours turned to afternoons, and afternoons eventually turned to days. Her father was an alcoholic, and her mother was absent from her life. It wasn't difficult to separate herself from him, and eventually she never came back.

She lived most of her life among various animals, learning the ins and outs of various parts of the world. At 21, she found herself drifting back closer and closer to human civilization; her relationships with her fellow animal, though important, did little to mend the hole left by human contact. She recently decided to try making human friends, though so far she's been unsuccessful.
