Tessa Swanson
Biography
'A Kataskopos, meaning spy, Tessa is an informant in training.'
Tessa Swanson, born February 25, 2000, is a member of the Church of Alexandros, training to be its first intelligence operative, something that Kallisto found needed ever since Antigone's maverick departure to Appaloosa Plains. Tessa is only superficially flirty: the trait was a trained one to facilitate intelligence gathering operations. In reality, Tessa is more of a romantic, something that Kallisto notes and wants to suppress.
As a newcomer, Tessa is in training, and is trained according to the Church doctrines, learning skills as required by the Church before being assigned any role. Logic was of course emphasized, but as an intelligence officer, Tessa's training focused on Writing, and since the Union had no skills in Photography whatsoever, Tessa was to develop the skill on her own, the only support given by the single elementary level Photography tome.
Tessa is reasonably skilled, and unlike other members, is expected to train on the job, somewhat necessary due to the lack of higher Photography skill tomes. Tessa however is reasonably skilled, having 8 points in logic, 6 points in writing (to write reports back to the Church), 4 points in Martial Arts and Gardening, 3 in Handiness, Charisma and Painting, and one in Photography and Inventing.
Tessa Swanson has a fine face, having a relatively small face size with decent eye size and small nose with red hair worn long. Tessa wears a pale peach coat and a white shirt accompanied by a black tie, alongside black leather skirts that go down to the knees and black boots. This outfit is same for both casual and formal wear, and this relatively stylish choice (compared to the more veteran members) reflects on her role as an intelligence officer, as Tessa's role sometimes require her not to be identified to be of the Church, which is part of the reason why the Church did not aggressively make changes to her body to reduce bust size.
Tessa has droopy eyes, always appearing sleepy. Some speculate that Tessa is brainwashed by the Core members such as Kallisto, although no solid evidence is available.

China
The Union demand for exotic tomes eventually led them to travel overseas, and Tessa would accompany them for the sole reason of using the vacation days to train, and succeeded for the most part, now having a level 8 logic skill along with other supplementary skills, and Tessa was also given opportunities to adventure by the locals, and Tessa was able to complete one of the easy Chinese tombs.
After some basic training, Kallisto deemed Tessa ready for her first assignment: Kallisto dispatched Tessa to Appaloosa Plains, where Tessa was to gather and report public activities undertaken by Antigone: Tessa's primary objective was to verify that Antigone was not doing anything that was heretical to the doctrine of the Church, that is, having romantic affairs. There, Tessa met up with her estranged sibling Nicole, who was quite eager to hear about Tessa's experience with the Greeks. There Tessa started to show her true flavor as a romantic just like her estranged sibling Nicole, and despite that, dutifully went on gathering intelligence for the Church.
Antigone did not have any suspicion that Tessa happened to be a member of the Church: after all, Tessa was not Greek, and most of all had quite a bust and rather stylish outfits, multiples of them. And so Tessa was able to see what Antigone did without much difficulty, although Tessa could not find any data about Antigone's activities that are religion-related. Tessa's information network only yielded one unusual act: Antigone visited the Parrots house, and that was it. And so, Tessa writes her first reports to Kallisto:
"To the Excellencies of the Church,
Kataskopos Tessa Swanson reports 5 days after deployment to Appaloosa Plains.
I have met up with one of my estranged relatives, and now live in a proper dwelling as ordered by Church orders. With my relative, I am training on the job, and my relative is also gaining skills that may be useful to the Church. Regarding the target Antigone, I have detected Antigone in the library, the junkyard, stadium, and at the back side of the City Hall: at all cases has Antigone has not committed any heretical act as stated by the Codex. The information network has found that Antigone has visited the Parrots house, but it is very doubtful that Antigone has committed any heresy there.
The training on the job has been quite successful: currently my Photography skills has been decently honed, and my logic level is high enough to warrant me a Law Enforcement Job, and to fulfill my wish to become an agent, I shall need to hone my athletic skills. Financially, I have little trouble: I am paying my bills, and the available funds should be enough for me to train well enough before I enter the labor market.
This is Kataskopos Tessa Swanson, testifying that all the data has been gathered properly and no deception has been added intentionally.
Kataskopos signing out."
However, here Tessa (and Nicole) started to develop the symptoms of narcolepsy (or so it seemed), and they often felt the urge to sleep for no apparent reasons in many cases. Little did Tessa knew that Antigone already had a boyfriend, and got the boyfriend to move into the house. Kallisto eventually saw this through the UAV system, and couldn't really blame Tessa, although Kallisto was sorely disappointed with Antigone's fall from grace. However, Kallistrata suggested another use: if Tessa was not so effective at intelligence gathering, then Kallistrata suggested that the Swansons be used as guinea pigs for her latest project, the body snatching project. Kallisto found that idea very appealing, and recalled the Swansons back to the Chapter main building. Kallisto (and Kallistrata) found it an convenient excuse to wear relatively fashionable clothes as well as boots, something that they personally could not touch due to how their bodies were wired. And thus Tessa was summoned, and Tessa gladly took Nicole with her, and as soon as they entered the house, they were immediately greeted, and not long after that, Both Kallisto and Kallistrata possessed the Swansons, possessing Tessa and Nicole respectively. However, Kallisto and Kallistrata quickly released them, since their plan wasn't to possess them, but merely to test their potentially powerful abilities.
Unlike most of the fanon sims, Tessa's name was wholly randomly generated by the game. Similarly, Nicole's name is also generated as well, although the surname is kept the same as Tessa to keep with the setting that Nicole is Tessa's sibling.
