[/i] girls did such things. She hated it when she was told that university wouldn't do her any good and that she ought to start looking for a husband. And one day, when she was sixteen, she hated it, hated them, so much she just couldn't take it and she had to leave. She needed to go somewhere they would never find her, and then... she was only in the Dream World for a few minutes, but during those few minutes, she felt that if she left, she would die of heartbreak. It was dark during the short time she was in there, and she so wished she had a light! Then, in her hand appeared an obviously imperfect candle. It only burned for a few moments, but it changed Tesla's entire life from thereon. By the time she stepped back into the real world, she had already decided that she wanted to be an Imaginer.

» POSITIVE✧ Trustworthy || You can trust her to keep any secret you could come up with.
✧ Exceedingly loyal || Betrayal has never once crossed her mind.
✧ Imaginative || Her imagination knows no bounds, often dancing on the line between sanity and madness. However, being an Imaginer, such an incredible expanse of creativity is an asset.
✧ Good Memory || It helps when you are constantly running into dangerous creatures and you need to know how to kill it.
✧ Intelligent || She's not a genius, but she's certainly smarter than your average bear.
» NEGATIVE✦ Unemotional || It's quite hard for her to express emotions. It's not that she doesn't feel them, she just buries them deep inside of her.
✦ Distrustful || This is where the hypocrisy occurs. Though she would never tell a secret entrusted to her, she cannot trust someone unless she feels very close to them, and even then she may be slightly wary.
✦ Mysterious || The combination of loyalty and a refusal to reveal anything about herself sometimes makes it hard to know on what side she is.
✦ Socially awkward || She isn't very good at working with people, as she refuses to interact with the others in the group.
✦ Disillusioned || She lives in her own imaginary world, blocking out all the bad with concepts that are both idealized and questionable in nature. Honestly, it's a rather childish thing for a nineteen-year-old to do.

» LEVEL • One.
» ITEMS
• place any item of interest that still holds value to your character here
• note: weapons can be placed here but they must be NON-MAGICAL in origin
» POWER• Candles - A simple item, but useful for when one might be in a dark place, or when one might need to set fire to something.
• Kitchen knife - Another simple item, but what do you expect from a level one imaginer? After years and years of helping her mother prepare meals, she's gotten to know every inch of that chef's knife.

Father - Donald Albright
Mother - Polly Albright
Brother - David Albright
Brother - Oswald Albright
» BIRTHDAY • The first of November.
» HISTORY •
Her parents, however, had different ideas. They'd just assumed that she would go into the family business. But Tesla knew what that meant - a secretarial job or maybe clerical work at the company; she'd never get to have a high-ranking position like her brothers. By the time she revealed her ambitions to her parents, she had already turned eighteen and was dead set on continuing to study to be an Imaginer. Tesla threatened to run away, but her father was unfazed. He told her that if she even put one foot out that door, he would disown her. Tesla knew that trying to pay for four years at university by herself would be extremely difficult, so she needed to come up with a plan.
And, within the next two months, she did. Her father's company began experimenting with Dream Dust. But many times the personnel they sent into the Dream World did not return. The company came under fire for the suspicious disappearances, but they avoided a lawsuit by providing the families of the victims with more than adequate monetary compensation. Tesla, however, didn't stop her own little investigation. Eventually she found out that the personnel were being sent into the Dream World without proper equipment or proper training because it cost too much. Some were even sent in alone. Tesla presented this information to her father and told him that she would release it all to the media if he did not pay for her higher education at the school of her choice, and all extra training that might follow. And if he told anyone about what she was doing, she would release the information without delay. Her father agreed. It was blackmail, pure and simple, and Tesla felt no remorse at all. Not even a little bit.
Now, Tesla attends university, where she studies to be an Imaginer. She never speaks about her family, never even acknowledges that she's related to them. Her anger towards them is her motivation to succeed.
