Name : Tessa

Ring Name : Iron Amazon

Alias : Tess, Tessa, Iron One

Family ( and people she considers so ) : Eliz (Mother) , Tastia (Mother), Chella (sister), Azia (Aunt) , Kalypso (Cousin).

Occupation : UMWF Fighter, and part time superheroine.

Fighting Style : Several different styles, although the main she uses are grappling based arts.

Build : Powerfully built, yet feminine.

Personality : Tessa is a rather quiet woman, who is more for letting her actions talk louder than her words. She has a tendency to be quite reserved when not fighting or saving people, since so much of her identity is well known, but she doesn’t try to pay too much mind to the oggling eyes. As a friend shes pretty enjoyable, although she doesn’t speak much, everything she will say with have either relevancy, or just be funny. As a fighter and warrior, shes brutal, efficient, and cut-throat.

Likes : Fighting without weaponry (although shes not beyond using them, she just thinks they end things too quickly) , Fishing, competition, saving peoples lives, people who try to perfect their bodies (she sees bodies as an art form) , arrogance (enjoys knocking someone down a peg) , her family, and lifting competitively.

Dislikes : Men who look down on women, women who give in too easily, people who beat around the bush too long, drawn out farewells (they either irritate or sadden her somewhat), Maahes (for what happened with Azia) , and any and all enemies of her tribe.

Danger Level : Granted she doesn’t go for title shots too often, or she doesn’t try to fight to kill too often, but this sharp, brutal hero doesn’t take shit from anyone. And she personally wouldn’t care if she hurt your feelings, in her eyes one is just another victim, nothing more, nothing less. This woman is one of the worst enemies you can have. She is considered a N/A Class 1 rank fighter due to how lethal with her style she can be, and her large supply of moves that could keep anyone guessing, with N/A Class 2 rank for physical endurance and focus due to her natural physiology, and the intense training shes put it through getting it into the incredible shape her body is in. Her mind abilities are considered as SSSSS rank for having a higher than above average intellect, and having a very high level of mental focus from training herself and her own natural abilities, despite personal demons, and her physical strength is considered N/A Class 1 rank in for having a high level of ultrahuman strength. Her spiritual energy is registered as XX rank due having mastery over just about all of her quite vast spiritual energy. Taking these into account, her overall danger rank is at XX+.

----------------------------

She was of bloodline of the greatest warrior, the great Tiamata Amazon queen, Azia. Tastia was Azia’s younger sister, and had fallen in love with a fellow member of the tribe, Eliz. The cast was set, and the two decided to birth the child in the way Tastia’s older sibling had been born. By taking the spiritual essence of two, and using it to impregnate one. Eliz took up the responsibility of doing so, and within 9 months, the green haired warrior was born. Tessa was the second child born of this method, the first being Azia, and it worked with no problem. The only difference this time, was how her demeanor was far different than her parents, the two who were pretty brash and arrogant, loud, and always willing to exert their presence. The child usually silent, and never made much issue with anyone.

Aside from her silence as one quality of hers that stood out, it was her love of competition, and how much of a natural warrior and athlete she was. Shortly before her 6th birthday, the queen had disappeared after a planned mass murder on their clan was planned. There was much confusion amongst the people there, but Tastia tried to keep things under control, and to keep out of Athena’s gaze. Tessa didn’t know why her aunt who had treated her so well was gone, but she understood she had to be a better daughter to make her mother didn’t need to worry about her either. Tastia held a competition, amongst the young girls, promising who won it would be the one who becomes their clans ambassador to the rest of the world, if the need for assistance against the gods was imminent.

Although the girls would sign up, the actual test and competition wouldn’t come until a year later. Giving them more than enough time. The at the time 13 year old Tessa felt if there was anyway she could help her mother, she would step up and do so. Tessa was already well in shape, and was a powerful fighter, but she had decided if anything she had to go to a real source for training. She ran away from the isle, and traveled for 2 months, searching for the former queen, Azia. Her search eventually brought her to Egypt, where she found the woman she had held in such high regard, with a tanned child, which Azia eventually revealed to her as Kalypso.

After the long joyful reunion, the two had updated each other in the lives that they had lived since they had last heard from each other. After Tessa had told Azia what happened and why she saught her, Azia sighed. Feeling what she had gone through, would probably spur the youth on to train even further than she had been beforehand. Hearing of how the child, Kalypso, was born, she didn’t know whether to hate the child, or to feel terribly sorry for her. Tessa tried bonding a little with the child, as Azia put her through hellishly brutal training, in hopes that Tessa could get more than the results she wanted by the time it was all over.

During those 10 months, Tessa built herself, her standards, on the teachings she had gotten in that time period. Azia feeling she had taught Tessa enough, sent the girl back “home” with her blessing. Tessa made her way home, and quickly prepared, not showing up until the day of. When it came to the intelligence aspect, she passed, easily. When it came to skills in battle, Tessa once again surpassed her competition. Weaponry, she passed, all others she passed. The final was a test of strength of body and character. As they trapped several little boys in one room, with a boulder, heavy for even most of the adults, they chose to see first if the girl would want to help, and if she did, would she be able to move it. Many didn’t help, and the ones who did, couldn’t even pick it up. When it came to Tessa’s turn, she thought long and hard on the things her aunt had told her…

… Minutes later, with one final triumphant push, she had the boulder over her head, a calm look in her eyes. She had realized, despite what had happened, not all men were the same, and that if they were to need help, they would need the help of the world, no matter what gender to do so. Proud of how her child won, and grew in her time away, Tastia sent her out into the world to learn, and better herself, before she chose to make their move into the mainstreamed world. She learned many languages, strengthened her body, her mind, her spirit in her travels. Tessa saved people on occasion, and as she got old enough, became a fighter in the UMWF after watching Lady Venom fight one night, and was introduced to Mr. Chiba. She faught originally under her own name, but eventually chose the name Iron Amazon. She felt it fit.

Despite the fact she still hasn’t gotten the call to become their ambassador, she still lives her life quite well, being a hero and a fighter, shes built a name for herself. Of course she still talks to the ones who helped mold her into the woman she is today, and wishes one day, things would be good… for everyone.
