Kind of girl that comes into your life when you least expect it. When she does though it will change you forever. It's almost as if God put her into your life when you needed her the most. She's everything you once were, everything you could've been, and everything you can become. She's very smart, funny, and sweet. Before a Tessa can get close to you she'll have to know you pretty well. Being around her has a sort of therapeutic effect. If you ever meet one, NEVER leave her....ever.
Hypothetical John Doe: I can't stop thinking about this Tessa girl. I've never met anyone as unforgettable as her.

A Tessa Is a very caring girl who always has everyone's back. She thinks badly about herself but nobody is sure why. She is selfless and helpful. If a loved one needs her help she is the first one to be there, she is very appreciative of everything anybody gives her and cherishes it. She can be very shy/kept to herself at first but once you try to talk to her she loosens up and you'll be able to see her personality she has a great sense of humor but is modest about. Tessa's are great. If you hurt them it will just take an apology and they'll be okay.. they try not to hold grudges even though it can be difficult at times. love that for them.

mom: give her time. she'll forgive you.

West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
