Other Info/Overall Personality: Tesla is a free spirit. She does what she likes and doesn't adhere to society's standards. It's pretty much her way or no way. Tell her to say or do something a certain way and it will probably go in one ear and out the other, but she'll hear you out with a pearly smile regardless. She almost completely closes herself off to the world because life has not been particularly kind to her. Life has taught her that people are evil and everyone is only out for themselves. Chivalry, common decency, and honor are only traits found in fairytales and she no longer looks for the good in people anymore. But she does her best to be kind and compassionate, despite her cynical outlook on life. In her mind, if she's as hateful as she thinks everyone else is, it will only make things worse. There's enough hate in the world without her contributing so she doesn't let peoples' cruelty make her bitter. Love goes a long way.

She is very soft-spoken, but not shy. She just doesn't like to say much. Once you get to know her, though, she will open up like a book and become very talkative, playful, and even a bit of a smart ass. She enjoys banter and intelligent conversation once you get her to venture out of her little mental fantasy world. Though, the only person she has ever opened up to is her adoptive brother, Nikolai, who she's very attached to.

Tesla may be sweet but she also takes no shit. If she's feeling attacked or threatened, she'll come back at you with the ferocity of a wildcat. If it comes down to getting violent, then so be it. She has a certain dignity about her. A quiet, serene dignity that doesn't waver. If you try to tear down her dignity, she will not allow you to get far without retaliating(if her brother doesn't lodge a bullet in your skull first, of course). But it takes quite a bit to get her to that point. She always tries the "kill them with kindness" approach first. If that doesn't work, then she knows how to be a bitch, too. Of course, she isn't all that intimidating but hearing her yell at you is annoying.

You could almost call her a bit of a hippie. You'll often see her adorned with flowers, running around barefoot in a field. And she has no qualms about being naked, partly because she's body-confident and partly because...well, who the hell decided clothes were necessary, anyway?

As mentioned before, Tesla is quietly dignified. Pride and nobility seems to course through her veins. She has the blood of ancient kings and certainly acts like it. Everything she does is with confidence. Her soft voice does not go along with her demeanor because even when she walks, she does it with the fierce grace of a prowling lioness. She has the presence of a queen but speaks with the softness of a springtime breeze. Tesla is the last of her kind, holding the blood of the El-Hashem, an ancient Middle Eastern royal family that has been lost in history. And because of the mistakes of her father, she has been forced to discard the name. But even though she doesn't carry the name, she still carries the blood and certainly doesn't make a secret of the fact that she has pride in her heritage.

Now, you might think that the extent of her personality is just a sweet girl with a few drops of royal blood. You'd be wrong. Tesla is the daughter of a man who could be considered a real-life mad scientist. She's quite adept when it comes to technology. Everything from rewiring parts in your computer to building those awesome musical tesla coils. But it's more than just her inner science geek that keeps her interested in that sort of thing. It's the last thing she has to remember her father by so it's also a sentimental connection.

Basically, she's a mad scientist, a tree-hugger, and a forgotten princess wrapped up in one cynical little bundle that is in desperate need of a hug.

History: Tesla was born in Alexandria, Egypt to a beautiful Hawaiian woman and an eccentric Egyptian electrical engineer. Her father was of the El-Hashem family, a clan of Middle Eastern royals that were forgotten by history. Most of them were killed off by illness, war, and revolution, leaving Akeem El-Hashem as the only survivor of the line. But all of their wealth and power died with Akeem's grandfather. As for why the world forgot about the El-Hashems, that is all a mystery.

Akeem was a mad scientist type who idolized Electric Jesus the Serbian inventor, Nikola Tesla. He would constantly endanger himself and his house by conducting dangerous experiments that could possibly demolish entire city blocks. However, when his wife got pregnant, his experiments stopped and he was a very devoted husband and when his daughter was born, he was a very devoted father. He gave her a name that, he thought, was one of the highest honor: Tesla.

The family lived happily in Alexandria for a time and Akeem bought a small farm where he kept Arabian horses. Tesla grew up around horses, having a certain fondness for jumping. Her first horse was a white Arabian mare Samirah that her mother purchased for her when she was about 5 years old. It was on Samirah that Tesla learned how to ride.

Akeem, always being the difficult sort, was fired from his job as an engineer due to a falling out with his boss. The family lost their farm and their horses, including Tesla's beloved mare. Young Tess was heartbroken. Seeking a clean start, the family moved to Dubai, UAE when Tesla was 10. That was when Akeem met Vadim Romanov - a Russian mafia boss - during his yearly visit to Dubai to get away from Moscow's winter chill. Akeem told Vadim of his struggles and the crime family patriarch offered him a job dealing drugs for the mob in exchange for a decent sum of money. Akeem agreed and decided to move to Russia. Tesla, always seeking adventure, was excited about it while Lana was quite upset about it. Especially because they had only been in Dubai for a few weeks before moving yet again.

A few years passed and life was good for the family(despite their source of income being illegal). Tesla's father passed his vast knowledge of science down to her and she seemed to take a liking to it all. Akeem had enough money to once again buy a farm. Tesla was ecstatic. Her first request was another Arabian mare. This time, it was a black Arabian that she named Shaytan Sayyidaton. The mare was bought as a gift for her 14th birthday.

A few months later, Akeem - again, being difficult - had made enemies of the wrong people. The El-Hashem family was put in danger due to Akeem being spiteful and turning in a fellow thug to the police when he was shorted on a deal. And in the crime world, there's nothing worse than a snitch.

A few men broke into their house one night while the family slept and shot Akeem and Lana in their sleep. Little did the men know that Tesla was in the house at the time, hiding in the closet in her room. She didn't dare go to the police because she'd been made to think that speaking to police was a sin punishable by death(and of course, she was still a 14 year old who had lost all logic and reason to grief and fear). So she went to the only people she knew she could trust: Vadim Romanov and Klavdiya Petrova. Telling them what happened, they took her in as a daughter of their own. They gave her their last name to protect her from being sought out by the same people who had shot her parents.

Even though the entire family loved her and nurtured her as their own, Nikolai Romanov was her sole protector. Why he was drawn to her, she doesn't know but she was certainly alright with it. She grew just as attached and the two were inseparable in a matter of weeks. It took her a while, but she did take fondly to Vadim and Klavdiya as parents as well. Apart from all that, she was still able to keep her mare, Shaytan as a final memory of her parents. It was with the help of Nikolai and Shaytan that she was able to come to terms with the death of her parents.

It was not until Vadim's fiance, Klavdiya was killed by his ex-wife that they arrived in Aurora. Vadim was completely driven by vengeance and left Russia to peruse his jealous ex-wife who was said to have fled to California with another man. They really did just up and leave in a hurry, not bothering to take Shaytan with them despite Tesla's pleas.

Vadim has since gone completely insane and mostly keeps to himself. Nikolai has been the one to sort of reassemble the Russian mafia here in America and keep a steady flow of money. Seeing how sad Tesla was without a horse, Nikolai bought her a Lusitano mare imported from Spain named Estrella de Dolores. Tesla now spends most of her time with Estrella, trying to stay clear of her brother's criminal life.
