Red Baroness
Scion of a powerful industrial family, Teresa learned how to be a proper young lady and every trick of social interaction. Skills that only became stronger when her empathic abilities developed. This gave her just the tools she needed to get what she wanted instead of what she was supposed to. And what she wanted was to pilot mecha. She proved to be a prodigy. Her obsession has estranged her from her family, but she firmly believes she is doing what she was born to do.
Invoke: Pilot things, social engineering, leverage her family name
Compel: Be contrary for its own sake, have trouble with her family
Magnificent Bitch
Teresa knows just how good she is, and isn't afraid to let others know it. On top of that she's got a fearsome temper. She's rubbed more than a few people the wrong way, and gotten herself in over her head plenty often as well. It does give her determination to spare, though.
Invoke: Never give up, intimidate people
Compel: Be a bitch, underestimate the opposition, lose her temper
It's For Your Own Good
For members of the Koenig-Suzuki family, it's a tradition to leave their wealth and privilege behind for a year or three and actually work like a regular person, to see what it's like. Most of the time it's interning with some law office, joining some pretentious political movement, aid work, or some bullshit artistic retreat. Teresa joined the Martian League's foreign legion.
Sent to resolve a simple land dispute on a Martian League colony world with a bunch of other trainees, Teresa finds herself in command of a far more complicated and dangerous problem after her commander is murdered by unknown parties. Her combination of piloting skill and social aptitude will see her through - so long as her temper doesn't blow it all to hell.
Invoke: To take advantage of situations to her own ends, to help people in need, to stand up against bullies
Compel: Overstep her authority, piss off her superiors, act like a jerk to people she's 'helping'
Style to Spare
When some hacker busts a black research site, Teresa's unit happens to be on deep space maneuvers and is the closest military presence in the area. Breaking off her training, she rushes onto the station and proceeds to ensure the imprisoned Newtypes are released. A high speed pass within a few dozen meters of the station in a MFL combat lander to take down outer defenses combined with a zero-g assault jump to breach multiple airlocks, followed by Teresa herself making a flashy entrance in her red power armor. She didn't exactly shy away from the resulting media coverage as well, demonstrating her fashion sense - though that eventually leads to a pretty big blow up at a celebrity party over matching dresses. In the end her superiors have to pin a medal on her - and then get her discharged as fast as humanly possible.
Invoke: Make an entrance, pull off flashy maneuvers, look good and understand fashion
Compel: Focus on fashion instead of more less more important things, do things loudly when quietly would be better
Get It By Your Hands
After getting the boot from the Martian foreign legion, Teresa signed up with Tharsis Tech. On the first mission, while everyone else was chasing after stupid rogue newtypes or picking up trash, Tessa focused on what the mission was actually about - taking out the station where the problems were coming from and capturing the people responsible! She dove right in with her Luft Panzer, managing a tricky orbital interception by feel, and rounded them all up with only moderate collateral damage (at least by foreign legion standards).
Invoke: To cut right to the heart of a problem, push through difficulties by brute force, break down barriers to advancement
Compel: To rush off on her own, to annoy people by declaring she knows better than anyone else, to refuse help
Empath
Teresa is an empath - she can read the emotions of the others as easily as most people see colors. This also gives her limited telepathic abilities - mostly sending clear, short messages that are much about strong emotional content as information, like "Run!" or "Get out of the way!" It also acts as a sort of danger sense, detecting hostile intent or fear.
Invoke: Sense danger before it happens, identify the emotions someone is feeling as opposed to what they're showing, detect lies, be good at cards
Compel: Be affected by the strong emotions of others, react to what a person is feeling instead of what they're doing, affect others with her emotions unintentionally
