Nessa Lobos for Tess Baker
Please read all of BADGER/TESS.
Species: Badger
Gender: Female
Age: 34
Occupation: Baker and Business Owner
Family: Walter (husband), Belfry (child), Briar (child)
Tess is, above all, a strong personality. She never does anything in half-measures: she loves wholeheartedly and can hold a grudge like no one’s business. She’s aware of these faults in herself, but sometimes her emotions just carry her away.
Once one of the proudest and best pit fighters the country of Silver Sage had to offer, she has since settled down into a domestic life of motherhood. … Still, sometimes she wishes she could get away with just a little fighting again. But that would be foolish.
Tess’s first appearance was on page 6.
BADGER: Walter, can you serve her up while I take care of Belfry’s paws?
TESS: Ergh. Oakewood, listen.
OAKEWOOD: Yeah, yeah. Orphans, wild animals, I heard that crap already.OAKEWOOD: Are you really going to fight this out in the rain while she’s stuck in a hole in the ground?
TESS: Siiiiiggghhhh
TESS: Fiiiine.
TESS: You can take it home with you.BELFRY: I DON’T NEED YOUR PERMISSION!
TESS: THIS ROPE SAYS YOU DO!!!TESS: Oh, stars. Oh, stars, oh stars! Bel, you can’t keep that thing!
BELFRY: I can, and I will.TESS: Belfry, it’s– it’s deformed.
BELFRY: It’s my kit now.TESS: It has no fur! It’s going to freeze in the winter! Can it even breathe with a muzzle that flat?
I really like your interpretation of Tess. Great audition! I think some parts could use a little more energy, but besides that, fantastic job!
Thank you, and I agree with you. It was the first thing I did in the morning 😅
