Tess Jones' parents were with a travelling circus, her mother being their fortune teller, bareback horse riding artist and a trapeze performer. Her father also was a trapeze performer and so did become Tess at age 5. From then on she practised whenever possible to fly through the sky, and later on she developed another act as a juggler with flaming sticks and all kinds of shiny attributes – hence, her nickname.

When not performing, Tess had her chores of feeding the animals, helping set up the tent and helping with the repairs if needed. Thus she knows how to sew great pieces of cloth and how to attach ropes for hoisting etc.

After a great row with her parents about becoming pregnant and not quite sure knowing who the father was (although there is a good chance it is .... (some high placed English person so we can have a scandal if needed) or in case of not so big a scandal: the mayor of a town they visited) she ran away. After giving birth to a little boy she named Eric in a convent where she temporarily stayed because of her condition, she left him there for adoption and ran away again.

Eventually she signed up as a sail maker on board the monstrous.

Over the years Tess has grown a bit suspicious of new people but will open up to people who are sincerely nice to her, even though they may have other -not so nice- interests. Tess is up for misdemeanor and thinks of it as a good joke, even if it can physically hurt people. In her opinion they should have taken better care. She can react to a superior on the verge of being rude, but never enough to get in real trouble. On the other hand she is often rude enough not to have many friends.
