History Characters / HighwayBlossoms

* Manchild: She has a lot of childish interests, such as colouring on a kids menu with crayons when she and Amber are eating at a diner, as well having a large SweetTooth, preferring drinks like milkshakes and slushies over coffee like Amber, and food such pancakes and candy. This and her [[GenkiGirl energetic and cheerful personality]] make look rather immature for an 18 year old.

->'''Voiced By''': Patrick Seymour

->'''Voiced By''': Elissa Park

* {{Expy}}: The art book describes her as one to Sinon from ''LightNovel/SwordArtOnline'' in terms of design and personality. The creators liked both those aspects of Sinon, even if they disliked how she was written and treated, so Amber was made similar to her in some ways.

* AmbiguousDisorder: While everyone, especially Tess herself, agrees that Tess is not normal, no one seems to know whether she has a specific disorder.
** Tess's narrow range of emotions, lack of social skills and intense focus on her hobbies (collecting license plates) could place her on the autism spectrum.
** Alternatively, her inability to find joy in many things and lack of energy, especially in ''Next Exit'' suggests that she might suffer from depression.

* SuddenlyShouting: When confronting the Trio over Amber's car.

* TemptingFate: "I'm worried the deck might eventually eat the tape, but it never happened to [Gramps] no matter how many times he played the damn thing, so I'm not too scared." No prizes for guessing what happens to the tape [[spoiler:the morning after Amber and Marina have sex.]]

* BlueWithShock: Sometimes has this expression when surprised or disturbed, such as when [[spoiler:Amber reveals that she bought Marina a bus ticket back home.]]

* ConspiracyTheoriest: As a hippy, he's naturally one. Amber wonders if that trait of his rubbed off on her after she gets paranoid about the treasure hunt.

* AdultFear: He panics after Tess runs off in ''Next Exit'', and thinks about all the various scenarios that might have happened.

** In ''Next Exit'', she gets one in her first internal monologue if you choose Marina's POV at the first option. She bitterly complains about Amber treating her like a kid, but isn't willing to talk about it because she's afraid of how Amber might react, up to and including leaving her behind. This effectively underscores how Marina's issues with her relationship become relevant in the DLC.

* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Gives one to Marina late in the main game, which helps break her out of her funk.
