Queen Tessa: Pantherian Queen. Tessa became Queen when the previous Queen (her mother) became fatally ill. She was, of course, raised 'high class' and likes to stick to protocols in her court. Extremely intelligent, Tessa is a fair and just ruler, but very strict about Pantherian law. Her world is quite technologically advanced, but they still live in castles.

Although she adheres to hierarchy and royal protocols, Tessa has a naughty side. She longs to cut loose from her throne, relax, and have fun like her subjects get to do. Perhaps the Last Human can help her in some way. Her own laws forbid the queen from indulging in the mating ritual or claiming any male as 'pet'. If he can just talk her into updating a few laws.

Although Queen Tessa is a 'side love interest', she will have a full story arc, and be a regular character in LH.
