Heya, I thought of a very fun game that I thought the people on this board would enjoy. Basically, the above is a unlikely to
be updated page that nevertheless had a great premise...rating the
marriage qualifications of various anime characters.

Given the Full Metal Panic characters were never covered, why not do
our own here on list!

Sagara
Chidori
Kurtz
Miss Mao
Tessa
The Lt. Commander even!

(Oh yes and the HIGH SCHOOL people…can you tell which part of the series I like best?)

And anyone else you might want to do (if I hear my girlfriend talks
about Gauron anymore I'll be ill)

I'll start off with my Tessa profile....feel free to disagree and
post your own!

Teletha Testarossa

Looks: One area that Tessa doesn't have any problem in. A platinum
blonde Italian American who manages to fill out a military uniform
very well along with sacrificing none of the `cute' factor, Tessa
has a winning smile and has in many fan's eyes…quite the edge on
Chidori. It's only likely she'll get more beautiful as she gets
older.

Smarts: If you are troubled by a partner more intelligent then you,
you will be now escorted off by Mithril security. As a Whispered
she has access to incredible amounts of scientific data and designed
the world's most advanced submarine. Furthermore, unlike Kaname,
Chidori actually seems to be a genius naturally too. A master
military tactician along with college level graduate…Mensa is left
behind by this girl.

Its unlikely she'd denigrate the less intelligent though.

Personality: Tessa is seemingly cheerful and sweet even in the most
awkward situations. While she has a `Cold War' with Kaname going on
for Sagara, she never lets it affect her friendly behavior to her.
She does seem a tad naïve though as the many compromising situations
that pop up do seem to indicate….either that or she's a terrible
tease.

Cooking: Aside from K.P. duty it is unlikely that Teletha has much
in the way of cooking skills. She might be able to build a robot
cook but more likely she'll just go out or expect you to handle it
(or the Tuatha De Daanan's chef of course)

Fighting Skills: Tessa unfortunately lacks Sagara's ruthless battle
skills and while a trained soldier, doesn't seem to be a terribly
good shot as the final episodes of the first season indicate. She's
much more efficient at planning battle and strategy than hand to
hand or pistols. She is certainly the most brilliant thing behind a
submarine in the waves today though.

Special Abilities: As a "Whispered" Tessa has access to the
boundless knowledge of her racial memory. The abilities of this are
unknown but it provides her with a telepathic link to Kaname along
with unlimited creation capacities of "Black Technology."

Resonance may have some odd concerns down the line…(see Sex)

Competition: Sagara Sosuke. Tessa is like many an anime girl, a
gaga over the brooding loner war machine. Unlike many such
relationships though, Sosuke isn't psychopathic and Tessa isn't in
denial about his nature. This has the upside that he probably won't
try to kill you but the downside that he's a genuinely nice guy
under the killing machine aspects.

Tessa's fascination with him doesn't seem unreciprocated entirely
but it doesn't appear especially deep either. Tessa is determined
not to use to Kaname but would probably accept such graciously if it
was confirmed. In which case she might seek another for comfort.

All her male crew seemingly have a crush on her but she treats them
with a amused disdain. Kurtz is somewhat of a different case but
he'd crawl through broken glass for her or Miss Mao so directing him
elsewhere isn't that difficult necessarily.

In other words…you may have a tough time here.

In-Laws: You'll have a brother in law to stand in the shadow of when
you come in, but it's a shadow you'll share with your lover. Tessa
has family but her REAL in laws to worry about is Mirthril. Unless
there is a pressing need for you to associate with Miss Testarossa
like being a whispered or otherwise needing protection then getting
close to her will be a tad difficult.

Your best bet is to enlist in Mirthril or you'll be assumed to be
KGB and probably shot by Sosuke.

Economics: Being a mercenary pays well, even if you are a do-gooder
like the Mirthril. Tessa probably receives a steady paycheck but
doesn't make use of it because of her circumstances being so
unique. She's likely to spend the rest of her life underwater if
they'll let her and unlikely to need much land based needs. If she
can be lured land side and made to go public, Bill Gates would have
nothing on her invention wise.

If you marry her, you also might get a submarine!

Sex: Difficult to say. Most likely Tessa is going to be a first
timer when it finally comes down to it but likely to take at it with
the same enthusiasm she's shown everything else. She seems very
affectionate and likely you'll find a very loving partner.

However, with Resonance there's going to be some risks that do need
to be addressed. It's entirely possible after one too many run ins
with evil necessitating telepathy that your wife or girlfriend will
develop Kaname attributes or Kaname will find out WAAAAAAAY too much
of your life together.

Suffice to say should she get with Sosuke and develop any feelings
from your bond, your remaining life will be measured in minutes.

Overall: The perfect choice for guys who like blonde loving
brainiacs with risk and work needed to work.
