Name: Tess

Codename: Teen Tornado

City of Operation: Chicago, Illinois

Appearance:


Tess stands at 5'3 with a normal build. She has reddish-brown hair that she usually wears in a ponytail and has green radar-like eyes.

Age: 15

Gender: Female

Superpowers: Air-manipulation. Limited to only causing gusts/blasts of wind, making small tornadoes that only reach up to around eight feet tall. Tess is in more of an experimenting stage with her powers, her abilities evolve and progress as she does. She isn't able to fly with them, but she can manage to momentarily levitate a few inches off the ground.

Skills/Talents: Tess has advanced knowledge of some firearms thanks to some things she learned from her father, who served a few tours in The Middle East under the Marine Corps.

Equipment: Carries a backpack around with miscellaneous things including bandages, snacks, and a pistol with cartridges.

Weaknesses: When inside, Tess isn't half as good at using her powers. It is extremely difficult for her to use her powers when the wind is not accessible. Her age also obviously hinders her because she doesn't possess the physical and mental advantages of being older.

Psyche: Tess is a teenage girl. She wants attention, she wants to be loved. She received very little of both growing up so that affects her personality. Most of the people she cared about ended up abandoning her because Tess can be abusive and dangerous when things don't work out the way she planned. The only person she really loved was her mom, and she died just after Tess's 12th birthday.

History: Tess grew up in a small dirty shack of a home. Her family was low-class. Her mom loved her and tried to give her all the time she needed but she was always busy applying for jobs, almost half a dozen every month. Tess's father rarely interacted with her. He was a war veteran and he just expected people to come give him a job because of his services overseas, but he just sat around most of the time and became a heavy drinker.

Shortly after Tess turned 12, her father was driving under the influence with her mother in the passenger seat. He got them both killed when he crashed into a truck on the highway. Tess mourned their deaths, specifically her mother's, for several days. She wasn't interested in going through the whole legal process and being assigned to foster parents so she just ran away from the authorities and tried living off her own.

That same year she came in contact with a special rain that gave her partial control over wind and air. She's employed the superpower to not only help her survive, but thrive, and she's been walking a blurred line between hero and villain since.
