Tess is a friend of mine who hates the whole men as an extreme but not enough to harm or kill them. She tries to avoid them as much as possible.

Tess is born a beautiful girl. Fair skin, pinkish lips, sculpted face, light eyes.

She is told many time how beautiful she is, often lusted upon even by male relatives because of the rarity of her beauty.

She was 7 when she felt a chill, a touch unwanted coming from someone. She cried to her mother.

Her mother told her that she is a flower and everyone would want a piece of her. But in a way, they'll discard those parts. That's how she was taught that girls don't belong in this world.

She saw. She felt.

"I don't want to be seen."

Se almost hated herself. Her mom gave her a cut almost like a boy everytime. All her pictures are either a mushroom or too much of a buzz cut. It was trange off course

Girls should have Longhair.

She doesn't want to. She doesn't want anyone to see her. She covers herself no matter the weather.

Nobody looks at her,
