Jessa Terallia

Jessa Anne-Haven Maria Katia von Terallia (a.k.a. Lady Snow)

An avid adventurer, and chief relic hunter for the Skyrim Explorer's Guild, Jessa Terallia is a skilled young Imperial woman who is considered a hero all over the province. Though young, she has done many great deeds, and now seeks to gather and safeguard all manner of magical and historical artifacts in the Museum of the Dragonborn in Solitude. She is kind, but strong-willed, and extremely adept in Restoration magic, both for healing and for offense.

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

As an adventurer, Jessa is quite healthy and physically fit. She boasts strong arms and even stronger legs, though she prefers to use magic in battle, so she is not as muscular as a traditional warrior.

Body Features

Jessa is certainly curvaceous, and her hourglass-shaped body is the subject of admiration, envy, and quite a few less-than-tactful poems.

Facial Features

Jessa is a particularly pretty woman, with a strong nose and bright, wide eyes. Light freckles dot her cheeks, along with a few moles. Her lips are almost always in a smile, and several famous bards have written songs describing her beauty.

Apparel & Accessories

Jessa often wears light armor, but recently has been seen wearing heavy armor made from Madness ore, an exotic metal from the Shivering Isles. Though she mostly uses Restoration magic in battle, she carries a mace of Madness metal as well.

 

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Jessa was born on the 6th of Hearthfire, 4E 180, to the merchant Jacob Terallia and his wife Maria Terallia. One of eight children, she quickly proved to have her father's silver tongue, and charmed customers of the business with her wit, kindness, and clear intelligence. She was enrolled in the Imperial Academy at a young age, and excelled in her studies. At the age of 16, she began adventuring around the province of Cyrodiil, and within two years had made quite the name for herself as someone who could solve problems others couldn't.
  Traveling had taken a toll on her, however, so she decided to work at Terallia Goods for a while to relax a bit. Then, in mid 4E 201, she got the adventuring itch again, and so made for Skyrim, a land ripe with opportunity. On the 17th of Last Seed, she crossed the border at the Pale Pass just in time to see a black Dragon fly away from the burning ruins of Helgen...

Sexuality

Jessa considers herself to be straight, but admits that she "experimented" as a teenager. She views sexuality as a necessary part of life, one that shouldn't be repressed or shunned. She enjoys having a partner who is passionate about their interests.

Education

Jessa was educated at the prestigious Imperial Academy, where she did well academically, but often got in trouble for speaking her mind or discussing topics more intensely than appropriate.

Accomplishments & Achievements

The list of Jessa's accomplishments is quite vast, but she is perhaps most well known for her exploits as the Guildmaster of the Explorer's Guild, for which she has uncovered countless lost ruins and legendary artifacts, many of which are kept in the Museum of the Dragonborn in Solitude. To this end, she has worked closely with Lilia of the Hammer, known in Skyrim as The Last Dragonborn and the hero who defeated the Dragon Alduin.

Failures & Embarrassments

Jessa is deathly afraid of large insects such as the Frostbite Spider and the rare, subterranean Chaurus. She has learned to overcome this fear somewhat, but those who adventure with her report that she will not stop screaming, even as she fights them. Apparently, she has no memory of this behavior.

Intellectual Characteristics

Free-thinking and curious, Jessa enjoys discussing history and philosophy, though her debates can be a bit overwhelming for those who haven't fully thought their arguments through. She is, however, extremely kindhearted and considers herself a protector of the weak, and is always willing to listen to all sides of an argument.

When together, they talk deeply about topics like philosophy, politics, or even just whatever boy either is dating.

History

Though Jazbay and Jessa Terallia had met previously, it wasn't until they were together at a family gathering in 4E 196 that they got a chance to really talk, at which point they became best friends almost immediately. Jazbay feels that Jessa is one of the few people who actually understand her, and Jessa loves Jazbay's quirky but insightful way of thinking. Whenever they are together, they are constantly talking and giggling about things that only they seem to understand.

Nicknames & Petnames

Jessa calls Jazbay "Jazzie", a name which Jazbay never lets anyone else use, and in turn, she calls Jessa "Jessie".

Commonalities & Shared Interests

The two love discussing things as grand as philosphy and politics, and as simple as what they had for dinner last night. Jessa greatly enjoys Jazbay's unique outlook on current events and other weighty subjects, and Jazbay is fascinated by tales of Jessa's adventures.

Nicknames & Petnames

Jessa calls Anna Lucila "Auntie Annalu"; if anyone not related to her were to call her that, they would soon have an "unfortunate accident".

History

When Jessa Terallia was six, she fell while playing and blacked out. During her unconsciousness, The Thousand-Year Evil spoke to her and befriended the young girl, saying that she would protect her from danger in return for living inside her.   Over the following years, Zarxia would indeed make good on her promise; whenever Jessa was in mortal danger, the Evil would grant her incredible strength and near-invulnerability, allowing her to escape even the direst of situations. However, as time passed, Jessa began to realize who the spirit really was, and sought to free herself from the Evil's influence. Unable to find a way to permanently rid herself of the entity, she decided it would be best to use the relationship to her advantage for as long as she could.
