Tessa, being the younger sister of the Wicked Witches of the East and West, always despised being compared to her evil sisters. She simply had no capacity for evil. She loved nature, sunsets, animals, flowers. All the lovely things life had to offer. She also longed to meet her one and only, but there were not many suitors who cared for tall, green skinned beauties. So, she ran away to a forest deep in the northern realms of Oz to escape not only the harsh stares of strangers, but her own mean sisters as well.

She lived a peaceful, but lonely life. Many years had passed, and one day she received word that both her sisters had met their demise. She figured maybe it was time to head back home. Leaving her beautiful northern forest was hard, but she was determined to make the best of it. Weary of flying her trusty broom after traveling for days, she decided to take a nice walk through a lovely forest she saw from above. She happened upon the Tin Woodsman in clearing as he was cursing the Flying Hit Monkey. She asked what the trouble was and he explained that he only wanted a real heart to call his own and felt remorse for having taken the Wizards heart, especially now that the Flying Hit Monkey stole it. She felt really bad for the Tin Woodsman, because she could sense that he was truly full of regret. It was one of her magic powers, and the fact that she was really attracted to him didn't hurt his cause.

Touched by his sincerity, she presented him with her heart, on a chain, that he could wear (she didn't really need a heart because her powers derived from all the living things in nature that she so loved). He was flabbergasted by her gesture, but insisted that no, he could not take the only heart she owned. She then suggested they both share the heart and it was in that moment when the sparks flew, and they both fell deeply in love. After a short courtship, they left for her northern forest where she had lived for so long, and he built her a beautiful house made of wood (fallen trees only, no living trees were harmed at her insistence) and they then spent many happy years together creating many green colored tin children.

As for the Flying Hit Monkey, he learned a hard lesson. Seems that eating the heart of the Wizard did NOT enable him with the Wizards power (none of which he really had anyway) but it did poison him and made him really sick. Most likely because he always undercooked his food. It took months of recovery, and took his edge off as well, and he now resides in care home for old retired Flying Monkey Corp. veterans.

Now as for the Wizard, he was actually ok. Seems his true power lay in using smoke and mirrors, explosions and hallucinogenic agents to trick his enemies. Turns out the heart the Tin Woodsman thought he cut out of the Wizard was actually the heart of a dead boar he was tricked into thinking was the Wizard....that crafty old Wiz of a Wiz!

And you know the rest......

Tessa was created using a DC New 52 Pandora, removed the cape and hood and cut off the sides of the waistcoat with a snip snip here, snip snip there! Added a Savage She Hulk head with Satanna hair, cape and right hand. The figure was painted with mix of Tamiya flat and gloss black. The hands and face were painted Tamiya flat green. The witch hat was sculpted out of Apoxie and painted black. The broom was made from a chopstick stained brown and I added a few bristles from an old used hand brush. the heart was made with Apoxie and some cheap trinket chain attached. Hope you guys enjoyed my twisted little tales.
