  • The Justin Strikes series

    Appearance: shiny blonde hair, tall-ish.

    Tessa Rose took the Ablete world by storm when, at the age of sixteen, she told the entire Ablete community her identity. After defeating a local villain, the Darkener (a heathen known for causing power outages in the city of Larkson), Tessa Rose made the mistake of telling the Ablete press her real name, projecting herself to a star level of fame

    Despite the plus side of being credited to her hero work, the pressure from the Ablete world to keep up her image made her anxious at a young age. In spite of this, more and more Abletes began to claim credit for their battles.

    Early on in her career, Tessa Rose got a manager (identity unknown to the public) who began to record her fights and publish them online. However, once news broke that some of the fights had been staged (something easily done when villain identities were still kept a secret), Tessa fired her manager and focused on using her fame rather than fighting evil. 

    She married her husband, Mike Pinfore, at age twenty-two, after his publicity team contacted hers in hope of easing a scandal that was about to break. She had her daughter, Clara, at age twenty-three.

    In the Normal world, Tessa is known as a low-level starlet, in the Ablete world, she’s a major celeb.
