It has been quite some time since Columtreal University has seen the face of the once very active student, Tessi Snowpaw. During her time with CU, Tessi was an active participant in Greek Life (SIK) and CU Sports (cheerleading). She described herself often as CU's welcome wagon, quick to meet new students and eager to include them in campus life. Tessi made a sudden unexpected departure from CU upon graduation and has had little contact with the school since then.
Tessi has returned to Hathian with her daughter Michelle Snowpaw for the time being. Her reason for leaving remains a mystery and there is a sense that she has unfinished business beyond the scope of CU and its surrounding city. Yet, Tessi counts herself fortunate that CU is in need of faculty members, as she was able to ask some friends to pull strings to get her a position instructing at her alma mater.
