 <h2>story </h2>
-<p> <br></p>
+<p>An unidentified egg excavated from a primordial digsite was sold to a private egg collector then quickly lost behind other more visually impressive specimens in his gallery. Years passed uneventfully until its sudden hatching. She escaped into the night and recently resurfaced in the city. Her technical owner is aware of her whereabouts but is desperately consulting his lawyer team on the best way to cede his liability for her damages or attempt to "collect" her. <br></p>
+<br>
+<p>She's an enigma to everyone she meets, and it's impressive if you can get more than a one-word response out of her. Coupled with her rigid, forceful ideology and overwhelming power, she can seem like a vengeful revenant or otherworldly paragon. In reality, she's quite childlike in the rigidity of her morality and her ability to reduce complex environments and encounters into a simple symbollic understanding. She's dense as stone. It's easy to mislead her to keep yourself on her good side, but if she ever catches a whiff of duplicity, appealing to mercy won't save you. <br></p>
+<br>
+<p>She wields a titan maul with inhuman strength in combat, has an absurd healing factor, and can fly for long distances. <br></p>
 <br>
 <h2>description </h2>
-<p>She doesn't have much of a story yet, but she looks cool. <br></p>
+<p>Bats flock around the slumped waifish figure, disappearing into the feathers of her dove gray wings. She herself is stark white from head to toe, apart from the beige roan fur that sparsely covers her hooved legs. Her face, apart from a barbed purple blind-fold, has an air of innocence and purity, coupled with the often childish ways she styles her long, straight white hair. <br></p>

 <p>Before long, her apartment was a circus of haunts - incubi and things she had never heard of before. This attracts the attention of a full 500-pound baku (a spirit-eater that is visually indistinct from a regular tapir) and inspires him to take up permanent residence in her bedroom. Her landlord maintains a strict pet weight limit of around 10 pounds, so this stresses her out to no end, at least until he brings her the sweetest dreams she's had since she was in 5th grade.

 <h2>story </h2>
-<p>Unlike fake cat people like the science origin Bobcat, Cat Man is a real cat person. He is a man well-integrated into society, going into work every day and paying his bills. He is also a cat with all the hyperactivity, play aggression, and 15-hour sleeping period. He frequently dozes off during meetings and ambushes shareholders, but he gets away with it due to cat privilege. <br></p>
+<p>Basically, she lives in a timeline where the Old Testament took place during the space age. The entire Earth is essentially Israel and the solar system's alien races are the Canaanites, Hittites, Jebusites, etc. Israel-Earth has shattered into shards, and the tribes are spread out in space. Some are living on doomed shards, others have been taken into captivity on other planets, etc, so there are plenty of opportunities for adventures. Chandra was called to begin a ministry to reach all 12 tribes and announce that Planet Canaan as the Promised Land. She's also given a spaceship. Van is her pilot and sword. <br></p>
 <br>
-<p>He moonlights as a superhero. He works closely with the press to ensure maximum coverage of his heroics. When asked his motivations, he always asserts he does it all for the attention. His powers are pretty standard for a cat: claws, reflexes, and stealth. </p>
+<p>Early on, her party is attacked by bandits. The Canaanite <a href="/char/Colt">Colt</a> rescues her and joins them. They have the ill-fated love thing going on. He falls in love with her, but she is not interested in breaking the command to intermarry with the enemy nations. Way later, the tribes are given the Promised Land, but Chandra was disallowed from ever setting foot in it due to her the LORD of hosts leaves her and gives her quest to another, and even <a href="/char/Colt">Colt</a> won't take her back because he had become a spiritual Israelite through faith after seeing the many miracles of the journey. <br></p>

+<h2>inspiration </h2>
+<p>I was working through a lot of spiritual stuff at this time, and it's most literal in the archetypal "God's Daughter" character <a href="/char/Lisbet">Lisbet</a>, who was made to be alone. She's the sole inhabitant of her shard. When rescued by Chandra's crew and settled into her cabin, a Man locked the door. He says, "Turn away from everything else but me," then waits. She spends almost the full duration of the adventure in abject loneliness without getting to see Chandra and the others while going out of her way to ignore the Man. Occasionally, she turns this against him in spiteful argument. She cools, and in weak moments asks him for help, but she only asks for small things and only receives small things, but she generally powers through alone. In the end, she sees his faithfulness and asks him to teach her how to talk to him, to better understand him, and to change her heart. Little by little, the room brightens and expands with opportunity to learn his character until the door opens out directly into Canaan where she enjoys the rest of her days, surrounded by community and fellowship in the spirit at last. <br></p>

To let the hot pink and fiery colors shine, everything in her closet is black-adjacent - deep purple, forest green, navy, and blood red - and she enjoys DIYing detailed accents like corset lacing, reverse applique, and using found objects as buttons or charms. <br></p>

She doesn't know much about him or his old country of Haiti, but she visits extended family in Blois with her <a href="/char/Marie-Agnès">mom</a> every Christmas. That doesn't mean she's that great at French. In fact, to her mother's immense disappointment, she has a better grade in Spanish. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>She deeply admires her mother as a strong, loving, successful tradeswoman, so she gives back some of her time to help in her studio. Several days a week, she can be found hand-sewing fabric flowers, or serving as a fit model. <br></p>
 <br>
 <p>She would rather spend every moment outside, though, forever hiking, jogging, and poking her nose into her neighbors' business. Her <a href="/char/Choupette">cat</a> is an outside cat and joins in on her adventures most of the time. Tessa's the instigator in her friend group, daring or begging to rope everyone into her wild adventures. She's all fun all the time, so she doesn't always know where the boundary is between playful teasing and outright bullying. <br></p>

She never leaves the house without eyeliner and loves dressing in athleisure or trying new trends. Her favorite color changes with the season, but gunmetal is a consistent love. Her ears are pierced. <br></p>
