Tessa's parents were a pair of traveling merchants who roamed the land in search of rare and exotic goods to sell. Tessa grew up on the road, traveling from town to town and learning the ins and outs of the trade. Her parents were kind and loving, but they were also often too busy with their work to pay much attention to her. As a result, Tessa grew up to be independent and resourceful.
As Tessa grew older, she began to develop a passion for thievery. She was fascinated by the thrill of sneaking into people's homes and taking what she wanted without getting caught. Her parents, however, did not approve of her criminal activities, and they forbade her from pursuing a life of crime.
Despite her parents' disapproval, Tessa continued to hone her skills as a thief, often sneaking out of the caravan at night to practice her craft. She quickly became known as one of the best thieves in the land, known for her stealth and cunning.
Tessa's current work as a thief for hire came about when her parents were killed by bandits while on a trading expedition. Tessa, left alone and without any means of support, turned to thievery as a way to make a living. However, unlike most thieves, Tessa only takes from those who can afford it.
—------------------------------------------
Tessa's parents were in possession of a rare and valuable magical artifact, an ancient tome that held powerful spells and incantations. This tome was sought after by many, including the Shadow Lord, a powerful sorcerer who was willing to stop at nothing to get his hands on it.
The Shadow Lord, learning of the tome's existence, hired a band of ruthless bandits to steal the tome from Tessa's parents. The bandits ambushed the merchant caravan while it was on the road, killing Tessa's parents and taking the tome.
Tessa, who was traveling with her parents at the time, managed to escape the attack and evade the bandits. However, the loss of her parents and the theft of the tome left her devastated and without any means of support.
The Shadow Lord, now in possession of the tome, used its powerful magic to further his own nefarious plans. Tessa, filled with a desire for revenge, began using her skills as a thief to track down the bandits and the Shadow Lord, determined to reclaim the tome and bring those responsible for her parents' deaths to justice.
This event led Tessa to become a thief for hire as it was the only way to make a living and gather information about the Shadow Lord, the bandits and the location of the tome. She would only take from those who can afford it, and uses her skills to help those in need, all the while keeping an eye out for any leads on the bandits and the Shadow Lord.
