Role in Case(s)
Tess was a criminal psychology student who studied in Grimsborough University.

In Murder on Campus, Tess was interrogated after one of her leaftlets on "how to commit a perfect murder" was found at the murder scene (Grimsborough University's campus) where a student named Rani Goshwalla was murdered. When questioned about this, Tess replied that she had been handing out leaflets for students of the college to join her True Crime society, but they always used to tear it up and throw it somewhere.

Tess was again spoken to by the team after she claimed that she knew who the killer was. When asked about this, Tess told the team that she knew the killer's psychological profile, and that he/she was passive-aggressive with a deep inferiority complex. She further said that the killer must belonged to the Psi Sigma Gamma sorority since they were very twisted and morally depraved.

In At the End of the Rope, Tess re-appeared after Lisa Edwards was found hanging from a noose in the Grimsborough University's library. She came to the station to tell the team that she knew Lisa as they attended Luke Harris' Movie History class and then used to go to the Onion Street subway station to reach home. Tess further said that Lisa had been acting strange lately, sitting on the subway platform for hours and watching the trains go past, making it look as if she'd commit suicide by jumping on the tracks.

Later, the team called in Tess after they found her psychology book in the subway platform, which contained a chapter title, "Hanging Suicide", marked with lipstick. She told the team that Lisa had borrowed this book from her two days ago as the victim wanted to dump her Movie History class. When asked if she was the one who used lipstick on that chapter title, Tess angrily said that she'd never write in a book using a lipstick. She also said that Lisa wouldn't had done this either since she never wore makeup.

In The Reaper and the Geek, Tess appeared again after a body of a young fan of science fiction named Joe Turner was found stabbed to death at the Grimsborough Sci-fi Fantasy Festival's entrance statue.

In her last appearance in The Rorschach Reaper, Tess participated in the University Prom Ball. After the competition ended, Donna Walker announced that Madison Springer was the Prom Queen and that Chad Baker was her Prom King. As the celebration was about to commence, Madison was gruesomely murdered with a tiara, spilling blood everywhere. At the end of the case, Tess was revealed to be the serial killer known as "The Rorschrach Reaper".
