Teerenlaulu is a major character in R&M. She's an undercover cop with a rough past, and her goal is to make peace with herself and the things she has done.
Name: Teerenlaulu means the song of a black grouse. She almost always uses a shortened version of her name, Tela, which means roller, but I meant it to just be the first syllables of her original name TEeren LAulu...
Song I associate with her: Maneater (Hall & Oates)
About: Teerenlaulu is a young, relatively tall woman with brown skin and dark brown eyes. She has generalized vitiligo, which first occured in her when she was 13 years old. Tela grew up in a suburban neighbourhood in Southern Itänotko, sharing a house with her parents and three siblings. Her childhood wasn't anything out of the ordinary until her older sister, a cop, died during a gig. Since that, Tela moved to Eteläsuu and devoted her life into researching about the criminal who caused her sister's death. She enrolled in a police academy, graduated, and found out about LUMI. And what better way to find your enemies then to become their closest ally?
At first Myrsky was one Tela's work targets, meaning she had to find out exactly who they were. It got a bit complicated after a certain point...
Tela and Elo have previously been in a relationship when they were teenagers, but met again a few years ago. Elo was part of the reason why Tela chose to work undercover.
Her boss at LUMI. Considers Tela her right hand and would do anything to protect her.
