Personality:
Teresa has been described as quiet and smart, however there is much more to her than what people think. For the most part, a frequent dose of verbal downgrading from her mother has worn her self esteem to the lowest that can possibly be reached. It's made her become a seemingly invisible person in the crowds and has made it her mission to keep out of anyone's business for her own precautions. There is a deep feeling of guilt buried inside her, product of a dark childhood event that caused her the hate that she now receives from her mother. However, if you can even get her to speak a word you will know just how phenomenal she is. Aside from being intelligent, Reese has a special and incredible gift for creative writing. From poems to short stories, Teresa is a pro. She is also very caring and because of her low self esteem will most likely never try to interrupt or try and overpower your cool stories with her own. She's a great listener and an amazing friend with a high capacity for loyalty. However, like everyone she has a side that rarely appears but it does exist. There is a limit for everyone, and hers comes after a very large sum of offences. Although she will seem to take any insult you throw at her, the emotions become bottled up and at some point have to explode. Her breakdowns usually occur in moments of solitude, and if there is too many people around Teresa will try and make it seem like nothing has happened and all is well. Then again, no one really notices her enough to care so none of these problems are an issue. Reese is a pacifist and highly lacking social skills, therefore she tries to keep herself out of awkward or iffy situations.
History:
In the beginning, Teresa's life seemed happy and perfect. Her mother was in love with her small princess who showed much promise and made many efforts to keep her happy. Reese's father was also very happy with his princess, in fact he adored her so much that at times her parents would have discussions over past decisions that had been made. Usually at cause of her father thinking the ruling on any restrictions set by her mother were unfair. All seemed normal, as dads are usually more lenient towards female children and become more endeared with them while mothers usually grow closer to the male child. However, as Teresa reached the age of nine, her father's affection changed in a way the still somewhat young girl didn't understand. Her father had begun to develop an unhealthy love for the young girl, and molested her in ways Reese was still too young too comprehend. This continued for 3 years, until her mother discovered the twisted events that had been occurring. In a rage, her mother immediately became violent and attacked the man removing him from their home. It became an entire ordeal that brought the young Reese into a world of legal meetings and tangled court dates. This went on for another two years, when at the age of 14 the paperwork and time devoted into a divorce had been dealt with. By now, she was already beginning to receive verbal abuse from her mother who believed their rough past times had been entirely her fault. The woman was mad with anger and bitterness for how apparently shallow the then 9 year old had been to what had been happening. Their family had been torn and she was worthless, were just some of the attacks she received. Currently, the live in high middle class standards although it seems as if the bonds severed can never be repaired. The pressure keeps building and there is only so much she can take. A highly unpleasant event that occurred at the Academy is also something that has her anxiety through the roof.
