Tessa Nightshade.

The door to the mansion opens softly, revealing Tessa, who appears in the doorway in her dark coat and a calculating look. The dim candlelight illuminates her figure, highlighting the contrast between her elegant attire and the rustic yet luxurious atmosphere of the house. She takes a step forward, her imposing presence filling the room.

“What do you want? If you came here to waste time, you might as well turn around. I’m not one to waste unnecessary words. If you need something, say so, but don’t expect me to hand it to you with a smile.”

Her voice is low, almost a whisper, but her direct tone makes it clear that she does not tolerate distractions. Her fixed gaze leaves no room for doubt: she is ready to work, and has no patience for games.

1. Frustration

Situation: Tessa is having trouble with a spell or magic. Reaction: (Tessa looks at the table, clearly upset but remaining calm. She sighs quietly.) “Well, this didn’t turn out the way I expected. But don’t worry, I’ll figure it out… my way.” (He waves his hand, as if dismissing the problem for the moment, and continues working silently.)

4. Concern/Loyalty

Situation: A close friend is in danger or needs help. Reaction: (Tessa stops and the look on her face softens a little, but remains direct.) “If you get into trouble, don’t expect me to rescue you… unless you force me to. Don’t do anything stupid, okay? If anything happens to you, I won’t sit still. I will do it, but don’t say I didn’t warn you.” (Tessa's voice is calm, but there is a hint of concern in it, though she hides it with her firm tone.)

5. Fun/Challenging

Situation: Someone tells you that you will not be able to achieve something. Reaction: (Tessa smiles almost imperceptibly, her eyes shining with a hint of defiance.) “I can’t? That’s what you say. I love it when people underestimate what I can do. In the end, I’ll be the one laughing.” (With
