Personality

Tessa is one who welcomes adventure, using her instincts to find her way if she was ever lost. She is shown to be a strong, brave leader in absence of the Chieftess, who no doubt saw the potential in Tessa. She oftens says 'Ka-Blam' when excited, which happens a lot.

Abilities

Although she possesses no unique abilities, Tessa is able to hold her own against large enemies, such as Bubba Greebs.

Story

History

Tessa spent her life reading and dreaming about adventure and the Skylanders. She met Whiskers when he was just a chick and rescued him from a slobbering pack of Chompies. Since then, she and Whiskers have protected the creatures of Cloudbreak, with Tessa being known as the best flyer around.[1]

Skylanders: Swap Force

When her village, Woodburrow, came under attack by Greebles before the volcano celebration, Tessa escaped on her bird companion, Whiskers, to seek the help of the Skylanders. She ran into Flynn on the Dread-Yacht, mistaking him for a Skylander at first, but the conversation was cut short when a few Greeble Airships managed to track Tessa down and began attacking them. With the help of Flynn, they managed to escape their pursuers through the core of the Cloudbreak Volcano, but the Dread-Yacht took heavy damage in the process.

After the Skylanders defeated the Greebles and saved the Woodburrow villagers, Tessa helped the heroes on their mission to save the Ancient Elementals from Kaos's clutches. Once they drove off Baron von Shellshock, she remained in Woodburrow to assist the Chieftess. When all the Elementals were gathered in Woodburrow, the Chieftess proudly announced Tessa as the new Chieftess of the village just as the Volcano Celebration was beginning. However Kaos' Mom interrupted the ceremony and kidnapped Tessa, forcing the Skylanders to venture to Kaos' Fortress to save her and stop the evil Portal Master mother. While the Skylanders dealt with Kaos' Mom, Tessa was forced to tackle Bubba Greebs until he was called to fight the Skylanders.

Kaos's Mom was soon defeated, and both Tessa and Flynn proceeded to go to the Cloudbreak Volcano to stop Kaos from spreading darkness throughout Skylands. After the Skylanders defeated Kaos once more, Flynn, Tess and Sharpfin were able to escape the volcano eruption in time to celebrate in Woodburrow.

WARNING: This section contains spoilers below! (Skip section)

The Skylanders and Flynn met with Tessa and Whiskers again at the Phoenix Psanctuary, where Tessa had arrived to help protect the Phoenix Chicken that was being threatened by Chef Pepper Jack. Despite their efforts, the evil chef managed to steal one of the Phoenix Chicken's eggs and planned to use it to release his bomb, an omelette of doom, on Skylands. Tessa followed the Skylanders back to the Skylanders Academy where she continued to lend her assistance to the Skylanders throughout their journey. 

Spoilers end here.

Relationships

Chieftess

Tessa sees the Chieftess as a mother figure in place of her biological parents.

Flynn

After witnessing Flynn's wild flying skills that saved them from the Greeble Airships, Tessa begins idolizing Flynn, recognizing him as his self-proclaimed title as 'the best pilot in all of Skylands'. She however finds Flynn's ways of handling enemies and obstacles questionable, but considers them effective. Due to living on the Cloudbreak Islands and possessing no knowledge of the rest of Skylands, Tessa isn't aware that Flynn isn't what he claims to be.

In the IDW comics, Tessa has feelings for Flynn.

Whiskers

Whiskers is Tessa's best friend and main use of transportation. She met Whiskers when he was just a chick after rescuing him from a pack of Chompies.[1] When Whiskers was evilized, Tessa was horrified and sharply demanded Shellshock to change him back to no avail. Soon when Whiskers was freed, Tessa eagerly rushed over to reunite with her bird friend.
