Tessa Lamb is a character role-played by Nakkida.

General Description[]

Tessa Lamb is the former Game Warden of the San Andreas State Park Rangers.

She was also the Owner of Right of Way Driving School before it closed.

After retiring from the Police Department, Tessa went to rehab due to her rampant alcoholism that she developed following the death of her father Sam Baas among other comrades and friends. After she completed her rehab, she then went on an adventure around the world, mostly with a focus on wildlife, and avoiding human contact as much as possible.

Personality[]

Tessa has changed a lot over the past several years. She has gone from innocent and naive, to bold and confident, to breaking down slowly but surely. Her love of animals is one of the few things that has remained a constant part of her life.

She became jaded over the past several 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. She learned to be a leader from her experience in the Rangers, and will continue to rely on these traits as she enters the next chapter of her life.

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 late father being Sam Baas, with all of his other adopted kids, and her cousin that she sees as a brother Johnny Divine.

Returning to Los Santos[]

Upon return to Los Santos, it was evident that Tessa had changed. She had no desire to return to the stressful and unrewarding work within the PD, and is working to find her new path in life. She had picked up some 'bad' habits from the places she visited during her travels, such as no longer strictly obeying the traffic laws (which comes as a necessity in some of those countries). Also, no longer shackled by the chains of duty, Tessa is now free to be friends with who she wants, keep secrets like she used to, and dip her feet into the underground factions of the city like she was never able to before.

After a few days of being back in the city, making connections, and rekindling old friendships, Tessa was invited by Luciano DiCenzo to join their family after they unanimously voted to bring her in. Tessa wasn't sure how deep she would go with this new life, but she was willing and eager to put in the work for her friends and newfound family.

She later joined Juno Sweeney as co-manager of the mayoral campaign of Maximilian Thoroughbred. Although she has not done much with Max since his election, she still maintains a friendly connection with the new Mayor.

The family eventually proved to not be a proper fit for Tessa, and she left them behind to find something that she could match better with. The family itself completely collapsed the following day, and there is still some drama and fallout from that. Tessa still keeps in touch with some of the former members such as Tommy DeVito and Tiny Tony

After leaving the family she was invited by Jay Que to join him and his informal crew in their hunt for a group of people that could work together, but didn't have the restrictions and limitations of a crew that was giving Tessa grief with the Italians.

She ended up assisting Jay, Malakai Anderson, Damien Tinkerman, and a few others in purchasing a home up in Paleto. Tessa has been working on getting the home decorated so that it is both functional and pleasant to live in.

Tessa is working on starting a new business, the San Andreas Derby which is a hobby horsing league. She is working on selling custom hobby horses, and in the prep stages of getting things such as racing/sporting events set up including gambling on races at the Casino race track.

Relationships[]

Relationships

Johnny Divine
Johnny is Tessa's cousin via Sam Baas, and close friend. They often confide in each other and talk about any problems they have going on. They have only gotten closer over the years, and see each other as siblings rather than the cousins they started out as.
Juno Sweeney
Juno is a close friend to Tessa. They have always been eager to help each other through hard times and tough decisions, even if some of their methods are sometimes neither smart nor healthy. Juno is one of Tessa's closest friends.
Eve DiCenzo-Summers
Eve is one of Baas' adopted daughters, who Tessa formed a bond with after their father's passing. She is the wife of Luciano DiCenzo and part of the reason Tessa started hanging around with the family to begin with.
Bryce Miller
Although at times it might seem like they drive each other crazy, Tessa and Bryce are very close friends. They can often be seen hanging out, hosting events, driving around the city, or even just sitting around talking about things going on in their lives. Tessa will typically try to give Bryce some relationship advice when he needs it, but he doesn't usually listen.
Patrick Desseault
Patrick was Tessa's lead manager at the driving school. He is also close with a lot of Tessa's friends like Kiki and Bryce. He has grown closer to Tessa as a friend, and she will often check on him if she thinks he may be in trouble.
Kiki Pendragon
Kiki is Tessa's ex-girlfriend, and she is always there trying to make sure Tessa is doing okay. The hallmark of their relationship was the cringeworthy pickup lines and jokes that they constantly text back and forth. Tessa and Kiki eventually ended their relationship after being unable to reconcile how inattentive Tessa was while focusing solely on work.
Clowncil
The Clowns are one of the closest groups to Tessa in the city. Tessa often defends them at the expense of being ridiculed by others within the PD. They often come to her with questions or reports about Ranger related work. They respect her and some even call her 'Clown Mom'. She has even had some success calling them off of doing illegal things just because of the respect they have for her.
Michael Simone
Michael got in contact with Tessa in order to have her watch over his snow leopard Acheron while he was on the run for his terrorism charges, as he was unable to properly care for or house the cat during that time. She eventually formed a sort of informal partnership/friendship with him later, and the two are on friendly terms.
Norman Bones
Norman was somewhat of a 'business' partner for Mary, Tessa's alternate persona. Norman has been gone for a long time, but maybe someday their paths will cross again.

Honathan Yolo
Hon is Tessa's 'son' via a convoluted set of circumstances of him being the son of Bobby Brown, who calls Tessa his 'baby momma'. Hon is a regular patrol partner for Tessa within the Rangers, and the pair can sometimes be seen patrolling the county together.
Flop Dugong
Flop is one of Tessa's former Rangers. The two are quite close and have always tried to help each other out.
Wesley Arnold
Wesley † Was Tessa's protégé among the Rangers. She pushed very hard to get him among their ranks and worked with him quite frequently. He was unfortunately killed in the line of duty by Mel Rickenbacker. Tessa was devastated by his death, and sometimes wears his nametag as a necklace in remembrance.
Sam Baas
Tessa's adoptive father. Baas † adopted her after she was orphaned, and they moved to Los Santos together. He was a Commissioner in the LSPD, before retiring for a year, and leaving the city. Baas returned to the city, into her life and the police force where he eventually attained the rank of Commissioner of the SASP. He constantly felt bad for leaving her, and being a "deadbeat" dad, in his words. While she knew that he had his issues within the PD, Tessa looked up to Baas as a good leader.
Matt Rhodes
Matt is one of Tessa's best friends. They ran the Recycling Center together long ago, but after Matt lost the ownership of the center, he took an extended leave of absence from the city. He came back into the city and was accepted onto the police force. They rarely cross paths anymore, but when they do they are still on friendly terms.
