Emotionless would be the one perfect word to describe Tessa. She’s a very selfish, judgmental and unassuming woman. The only thing that seems to drive Tessa is success; she simply loathes the idea of failure and often finds herself fighting her way to the top, no matter who gets hurt in the process. Tessa is the kind of person who does not lend her ear or her shoulder out for comforting. She doesn’t care for anyone else’s problems, just her own.
Tessa is a very hard faced female who appears to not be fazed by anything at all. She walks around with her head held high, looking down her nose at everyone else. She never feels that anything is good enough for her and because of that she is never satisfied with what she has, bearing in mind she’s lucky and unfortunate compared to most people.
She is a very shallow and spiteful person, who often finds herself picking at others' flaws. She has a very poisonous tongue and knows exactly what to say to rub people up the wrong way. The woman is a perfect performer as she can turn on the charm whenever she wants. People often get the wrong impression of her, thinking her to be nice at first but that' simply because she knows how to play the game. She is calculating; she sits back and views people and then attacks their weaknesses.
She’s a back stabbing, two-faced, rotten liar who she will stab anyone in the back if she has something to gain from it. But all of her spitefulness is not done snidely; she will quite happily throw herself into confrontation because she knows that she will always come out on top.
Tessa stands at around 5’7, she has blonde mid length hair and bright blue eyes. For a woman in her fifties Tessa looks damn good. Of course it goes without saying that she’s certainly dabbled in the world of fakery; she has had a fair amount of plastic surgery in her lifetime and to be honest, sh doesn’t care if people know such a thing. She has the money, so why not use it to treat herself?, Most people buy a bag or something, not a new nose.
She likes to keep in shape, which she does by partaking in physical activities; she does a lot of running, swimming and even takes up martial arts as a way of keeping in shape. She is often seen wearing neutral colours, pale shades, greys and blacks. She doesn’t really like brightly coloured clothing as she does not believe them to suit nor compliment her physique.
Tessa Lomax was born and raised in Orange County, California. Her parents were Juliette Montgomery and Arnold Lomax. Juliette was a famous model from Sweden, she wanted Tessa to follow in her footsteps. Her mother was extremely pushy and strict which eventually led her father to leave; he could no longer handle the way that Juliette was treating both him and his daughter. But, because of financial situations on his behalf, he could not afford to keep a child and left Tessa with her mother.
As Theresa grew older, she became just like her mother, even moreso when she had kids of her own. She was hard on Gwen, constantly pushing at the girl to do well, to do more, sometimes more than the child could handle and because of that, Gwen rebelled against her. It seemed that pushing at her did not affect her as it had Tessa; she was dutiful whereas Gwen, had a brain of her own and wasn’t easy to push around.
Theresa found herself increasingly disappointed because she had failed with her only daughter., She never once comforted Gwen nor confided in her with her problems, so the girl was oblivious to her mother’s guilt. She was far too proud for that. Their family became bankrupt and Tessa couldn’t handle her husband’s excessive drinking. Both her children had left now, unable to live in such a household and Tessa was quick to follow.
Tessa currently lives in Manhattan, New York where she owns her own casting/modelling agency which is funded by the money she gained from divorcing her husband.
