| has gloss | eng: Overview Background Teletha "Tessa" Testarossa is the charmingly clumsy Captain of the revered TDD-1 Tuatha De Danaan submarine of the anti-terrorist organization Mithril. It was created for use in underwater and aquatic warfare against terrorists, smugglers, and military units. She is US-American by birth but has lived on submarines and military bases for the majority of her life. She was born on December 24, 1984 and is a child prodigy who rose to Colonel rank at the age of only sixteen. She has platinum/silver hair and gray eyes. Later revealed as being a Whispered, her high level of mathematical and scientific adeptness is dwarfed only by her brothers, which seems to have given her a sense of inferiority. Though not very athletically inclined, she has shown to be a very good swimmer (as shown in episode 8 of Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu!). |
