Tessa Lamb

Tessa Lamb is a character role-played by Nakkida.

General Description
Tessa Lamb is the Game Warden of the San Andreas State Park Rangers, Badge #270.

She is also the Owner, and a Driving Instructor, of Right of Way Driving School, which provides a service to people looking to get their driver's license or reduce infraction points on their license by successfully passing the test, and allowing people to regain their suspended licenses. She has taken a small step back and has hired more instructors, as she does not have the time to put into the school like she used to due to being a police officer.

Personality
Tessa is seen as a kind, yet easily manipulated individual, and to the best of her ability she will never break the law. She's gullible, naïve, and forgiving to a fault. Her favorite things include animals, caring for the environment, and being helpful to anyone in need. She struggles with euphemisms, and innuendos fly over her head most of the time. She is without a doubt one of the nicest people in the city of Los Santos.

She has become somewhat jaded over the past couple of years in the city. She can see the flaws and corruption of everyone around her. She has had to become more cunning and manipulative in order to stay ahead of the flow of the city. These days, she is mostly focused on making sure things around her are handled fairly for everyone involved.

She is also a well-respected leader within the police department. She is widely recognized for her ability to deescalate tense situations, which has prevented many a situation from turning violent. She has a love for animals (which she calls "aminals").

Personas
Note: Tessa's personas have been very dormant lately and have not played a major part in her life for a long time.

Background Information
Tessa grew up in an unhealthy household. Her parents, Don and Tina, were alcoholics who constantly fought. If she didn't make herself scarce, they would turn their anger onto her. She only found solace in her pet dog, Maisy.

Her parents were irresponsible and didn't get Maisy fixed, so she ended up pregnant with five puppies. When she gave birth, Tessa's parents wouldn't let Maisy in the house. In a fit of anger and sadness that her one source of comfort was being hurt, she set the house on fire, ending with the death of her parents. This caused intense scarring on her hands. She has said that this was "the only way".

Her adoptive family is far more important to her however, with her dad being SASP Commissioner Sam Baas, with all of his other adopted kids, and her cousin, Trooper Johnny Divine.
