TESSA SIERRA JORDAN

23. RACER. My head Monday morning as that alarm clock sings, It goes bang bang bang while it ring ring rings Yeah I'm ready to roll if you wanna rock again, All you got to do is put a drink in my hand BASICS Character full name: Tessa Sierra Jordan Age: 23 Gender: Female Sexuality: Straight APPEARANCE: Tessa normally wears her long brown hair down and loose around her shoulders. If she's working or doing something active she usually pulls it back into a pony tail to keep it out of her way. Her clothing style is pretty casual. Jeans, t-shirt, tank tops, leather jackets, jean jackets, boots, things like that are the norm when she's hunting. Tessa can rock a skirt or a dress though when she wants to, she doesn't mind wearing sandals or heels when she needs to. But, she does like to wear her short denim skirt with her cowboy boots a lot. PERSONALITY: Tessa is a pretty nice girl. Down to earth and likable for the most part. She was raised to have manners and behave. However, she also had a big brother who taught her how to take care of herself. Tessa has a very sarcastic wit and attitude sometimes that she gets from her brother. She also doesn't like to take shit from people. She will stand up for herself. Having a brother who was 11 years older than her, she liked to follow him around and pester him whenever she could. He taught her a lot though and she knows how to handle people. She knows when to play nice and when it's time to get tough. She is very good at being able to move back and forth between being the good girl and the tough girl. HISTORY: Father: Charles Jordan Mother: Elizabeth Jordan Siblings: Gabriel "Curse" Jordan Marital Status: Single Children: NONE Other Important Family Members: There is a whole slew of Jordan's floating around. History: Tessa's early years were spent growing up on the family ranch in west Texas. She spent a lot of time following her older brother Gabriel around. Generally being a pain in his backside. Though, in reality... he loved his baby sister to death and she knew it. She had him wrapped around her little finger. Everything was pretty normal for her, a good childhood up until she was seven years old. When she was seven, her older brother Gabriel had turned 18 and decided that he needed to do something honorable by serving his Country. He left the family and joined the Navy. The next few years while her brother were away continue to be fairly normal for Tessa. Though she missed her big brother greatly, she still went to school, had friends and rode her horses and enjoyed her life on the ranch with her parents. Tessa was an extremely bright girl and always got straight A's in school. She also had an unusual talent for being able to fix things. First it was things like taking her toys apart and putting them back together. As she got older and helped out on the ranch, her father was amazed when she was able to repair their tractor that had broken down. Everything stayed good and on track until she was fourteen. Then her life was turned upside down. It was summer and she was due to start high school in the fall. She was pretty excited about that. But, one day when she had gone with some friends to the lake, she came home to a horrible scene. There were flashing lights of police cars, fire trucks and ambulances surrounding their home. Running up the long drive way from where she had been dropped off she tried to get inside the house but was stopped by a police officer. She was frantic. All she wanted was to get inside, to see her parents and make sure they were OK. But, everything was not OK. The police man told her that she couldn't go inside. That something terrible had happened. Her parents were dead. It had looked like her father kill her mother and then killed himself. The theory was that he was struck by a mysterious illness and had gone insane. Tessa didn't believe it for a second. She was sure they were both murdered. Tessa was allowed to stay with the family of one of her friends while law enforcement tried to contact her brother Gabriel. It took some doing as he was overseas and on some type of covert mission where they were not able to contact him. When her brother was finally contacted and able to get home, it had been weeks since the incident. Finally, the brother and sister were reunited. Tessa could tell that her brother had changed. His time in the military had taken it's toll on him. To come home to find out his mother was murdered and that his father was missing and the prime suspect certainly didn't help his demeanor. Of course, when he saw Tessa, he tried to hide all that inside him, but she could see it in his eyes. Life however went on. Curse (a nickname her brother picked up in the military) had already decided to leave the military. But, now he wasn't sure what to do. He knew he had to take care of Tessa, that was the most important thing. The problem was he was ill equipped to be a full-time parent to a teenager. After a lot of talking and making decisions, Tessa was sent off to a boarding/prep school in Dallas. The Hockaday School (yes, that's really it's name) was an all-girls boarding school. Tessa wasn't too happy about the all-girls thing, but it was top notch as far as academics goes and with Curse's insistence she didn't put up too much of a fight. Tessa was an extremely bright girl and always got straight A's in school. Graduating at the top of her class, (having a near photographic memory comes in handy) Tessa then went on to college to study engineering and computer science. She graduated and got her degree. Even though she did well academically she struggled with other things. While she was in college she started to 'act out' as some people would term it. Tessa would say she was just living life to it's fullest. After her parents had died she felt restless and needed to find things to occupy her time. She had always been pretty adventurous a young girl. Riding her horses, trying to see how fast she could go, how high she could get the horse to jump, things of that nature. She also loved going fast in general. Boats, cars, motorcycles. They rode mini-bikes and 4-wheelers around the ranch when she was a kid and she always loved that. During her college years she started getting into dirt biking and motocross. Turns out she was kind of an adrenaline junkie all along. Along those same lines she also started to party a lot and then she got into gambling. The thrill of beating someone at their own game was a rush. The fact that she was this cute adorable girl just added to the thrill. She loved it when her marks underestimated her and she took there money like taking candy from a baby and they were none the wiser for it. In fact, they sometimes even seemed happy to give it up. Yeah... she was born with the Jordan family charm. EXTRA INFORMATION: THE RIDES: Camaro ZL1 with custom mods (she initially won the car in a high stakes poker game... that's what they get for underestimating her.) JENNZ. PACIFIC USA. NINA DOBREV
