I will not do anything past 2020 for the history sections unless they were born after 2020, as many events are too recent. Website still incomplete.
Tennessee, also known by her human name of Nessie Nicole Washington, is a cheerful and artistic person, who is very expressive. She is very bubbly and bright and enjoys helping others whenever she can. Her bright demeanor is also offset by how terrifying she can be in war, as Tennessee hates seeing people she cares about hurt and fights like a demon.
Despite her somewhat demure attitude towards things, she is not afraid to hurt or kill people to protect her family and friends. She is fiercely protective and is willing to set aside her own morals to protect others. Family is very important to her, and she hates seeing the concept thrown aside or used against her.
She is an optimist, always choosing to see the best in every situation until she cannot. She wants the world to be bright and positive and does her best to make it that way. Her cheer is not fake, but sometimes in can be forced in bad situations.

Tennessee is four foot eleven and physically twenty-three. She has brown eyes and brown hair that falls to her mid-torso. She has freckles that, in her country form, are little white stars.
In country form, her face is her flag, and the red travels down the rest of her body, although her left arm is blue, with a small white line where the red and blue connect. On her hands, she has the circle with the three stars on them.
In human form, she is mixed but often seen as white, 72.2 White-27.8 POC, based on the 2020 census (this is also a very loose definition, but I am trying to give you a good baseline for "mixed"). The largest ethnic groups are English, Irish, Scots-Irish, African American, and German.
She is stocky and muscular.
