Personal history
Early Life
Born to a large human family in Daggerford, Tessa Howard Edison would spend much of her life dealing with second hand supplies and clothes well-used by her older brothers and sisters. While in Daggerford, Tessa would find herself friends with a local member of the Timber's clan of gnomes whom were the first to notice her aptitude for working metals. With their sponsorship Tessa was sent to school in Carcino, where she was trained by the best smiths of the Royal Academy and the Hammer-and-Anvil Guild. It was during this time that she discover the journal of a master artificer and known mad-man. Slaving over the forge and the manuscripts, Tessa would uncover a hidden page in one of the manuscripts, stuck together with blood to form one page, it reveled information about a revolutionary firearm: a flintlock pistol with the capability to fire up to six shots in quick succession. To her amazement, Tessa had discovered the blueprints for the world's first revolver. The next day Tessa would inform her instructors at the Capital University, and with their permission would depart for Castle Angrath and the former home of John Dimes - the mad artificer. After a three-month journey west on boat, she would arrive to the castle and the greater community of Angrath. Eventually she would track down the previous home of the inventor, and purchasing it, would spend the next six-months working the forge of the exiled smith and reading and re-reading his manuscripts well into the night. It wasn't until one sleep-deprived night that she tripped over one of the floorboards, uncovering a small box and even more booklets pinned by the insane Dimes. After reading these newly founded texts, Tessa would spend years following in the trail of the exile, before finding herself in a distant trading village called Hommlet, where the trial had gone cold.Early Adult Life and Career
After making sure her affairs in Angrath were in order, Tessa returned to Carcino and finished out her two-year schooling, where she then departed and left for home. Returning back to Daggerford, Tessa would impress the local nobility with indoor plumbing, city-wide gas lighting, and mechanical repeating crossbows and the first mass-produced multi-shot flintlock pistols. By the age of 21 Tessa had become one of the wealthiest humans, and indeed one of the wealthiest nobles, to live in Daggerford. During this time Tessa would find herself under the employment of the nobility of Daggerford, more specifically the Duchess Lady Camilla, and working alongside the local rouge and known thief and vagabond Mr. Sneakman. This employment would see Tessa traveling the Dalelands many times over, before eventually finding herself once again in the small community known as Hommlet, moving there with the Duchess and Mr. Sneakman after the marriage of the lord of Hommlet Rufus Brunel and Lady Camilla.Sexuality
Tessa is a lesbian, whose first relationship was with Ezmerelda d’Avenir during the events of the campaign against Strahd von Zoravich.
