Gifts
Glorious Sadness: Through this Gift of Spirit,
Tess's physical appearance gives forth an enormous impact on
the emotions and behaviors of mortals and (to a lesser
extent) Powers through her sandess that none dare disturb
and that all respect her. Powers are immune to the
miraculous part of this common Gift, but can be moved by
Tess's sadness nevertheless.

Background
Tess is a blonde waif with too much eyeliner and no
shoes. She usually appears in jeans and a t-shirt, pockets
stuffed with yellow chrysanthemums whose petals she
nervously shreds and eats. Frequently she carries a child's
toy, a set of keys, or some other formerly prized
possession, although her main purview is emotional loss
rather than physical. Once a young working-class girl with a
new husband and budding maternal asperations, she lost the
baby at the time of her enNobling and, soon after, her
husband. Now she focuses what interest she can muster on her
Familia and on the protection of her Estate. She performs
her duties as gently as she can, and although she tries to
see her work as a thing of Heaven's creation and therefore
beautiful and necessary, she is constantly consumed by guilt
and sadness over what her actions have wrought.
