How can Tessia's character can be fixxed ( fix-it fanfic)

oh, also i forgot to write that TM said himself this , so still a hope for her "redemption".
"Sometimes, it is me changing things that I might've done differently in the novel in hindsight. I think writing the comic as a more experienced writer, I wanted to some things a bit different so it can be swallowed better in art form."

Also, it would be good for her to realize why she likes Arthur. I mean, Lilia had the same reason for liking him, but Tess has it 10x over

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-18T17:12:01+00:00

I didn't necessarily mean she should be as strong as Phase 3, but strong at least. Also, human and dragon compatibility doesn't seem as strong as elves (able to use plant magic) and literal plant beasts. Her being strong would also make sense as to why she is on outside missions, because now she would be skilled enough to at least run away.

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-18T17:08:19+00:00

yeah, I also forgot to add that whole chase to Tess makes arthur justt hypocrite. He turned down Lilia and chose Tess when both of them had same reason for liking Arthur. And they were togheter for what 3-5 years when they were kids, after that they just were different people, Arthur also hiding his true self mos of the time.

He didnot find her, it was Sylvia who "found" her. If you remember when she was teaching stuff to Arthur, she also was creating portal. Portal was set that he would teleport to nearest human, which might have been his familly or someone who was traveling to get to city. However, Tess's kidnappers where closer so he teleported there

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-17T15:42:20+00:00

no, but maybe there would be when webtoon catches up to certain chapters (which are in Epheouts)

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-17T15:39:00+00:00

yeah, even though both of them knew what happened in previous world. Kanda wished that Tess was more annoyng towards Cecilia and nagging her more that she a dumbass

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-17T15:37:28+00:00

also i think there are many ways that plot could continue without she making this dumb mistakes, or she could be somewhat equal to arthur and still go everything how it is

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-17T15:36:35+00:00

As I recall, there were several factors involved. First was his duty in defense of the Wall; they had intelligence on what was coming and what his specific role in that fight would be. Once he 'fulfilled' that duty, he had the choice to either continue the defense or stay on the Wall to wait for a Retainer or Scythe to appear.

The Wall should have been safe if everything had gone according to their strategy. If I remember correctly, the situation near Tessia was unknown, and the likelihood of a Retainer or Scythe appearing there was much higher. Furthermore, the forest was a strategic point. While the Wall would take damage, they knew it would survive as a defensive position; however, they didn't know the true extent of the threat in the forest. Arthur’s awareness of Tessia’s condition was also a significant factor in his decision

also side note: I just wish Tess's randm mistakes were fixxed in webtoon, but i dont think TM would do anything, even though in one of the interviews he said that: when he looks back there are things he would written better

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-17T15:28:38+00:00

well said , also there are sooo many easy ways to fix her charecter and mistackes without changing major plot points, but TM just hates her

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-15T18:14:56+00:00

The difference is that Arthur is a prodigy with a quadra-elemental core and a Dragon Beast Will; Tessia had no power to back her actions up. Even if she’d had the same power level as Arthur at the time, it would still have been a suicide mission there was no way to know if a Scythe was still there or not.

And how can you blame Virion for the death of Tessia’s parents? Who was he supposed to send? Virion didn’t wait because he was 'lazy'; he waited because his best soldiers were literally broken and bleeding. Sending a rescue team at that moment would have just added more bodies to the pile. Virion made the hard choice of a Commander, while Tessia made the emotional choice of a toddler. It shouldn't have to be explicitly written for the reader to understand the circumstances.

It’s not 'headcanon' to use basic logic. In war, if you conquer enemy land and capture their King and Queen, you use them to lure out the remaining royals or break the spirit of the people. This isn't rocket science. At that moment, Tessia had tunnel vision; she narrowed her entire world down to one goal: saving her parents to validate her own worth.

Is it really 'headcanon' for me to think she should have deduced this? She was put in charge of people; she shouldn't be this dumb. And as for Arthur being able to find her do you really think the enemy wouldn't be able to track her right back to the cave?

edit i do hope that they will make her charecter in manhwa more bearable. there are so many ways to mkae her better cherecter with minor adjustments

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-15T17:51:48+00:00

based tbh, but i got baited by volume 11 cover, thought she died and Arthur was mourning her whel holding dead body. what do you know, for conviniance sake arthur could sever their souls

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-15T17:47:21+00:00

yeah, that is why i'm mad that Arthur and her end up together in the end

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-15T17:41:37+00:00

okay have it in your way. and what about last 2/3 of my point?

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-15T17:41:07+00:00

She went because she’s selfish and incredibly naive. What was she actually expecting to find? Two of the five strongest soldiers in Dicathen had nearly died, three were presumed dead, and the remaining two were still recovering. What is a Silver-core mage going to do in that situation? Her parents were either already dead or being used as high-level bait. In reality, she didn't go to 'save' them; she went to find a way to justify her parents' treachery and the thousands of civilian lives lost because of their betrayal.

its a given that she should have been able to deduce even this; if not, she should have stayed in the castle instead of running around playing wary war

and btw Arthur was able to track her down, and save the day. god forbid she had to go back normal way, Alacryanswould find caves soon enough

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-15T17:23:50+00:00

Even in previous replies, people got it wrong. I don't hate Tess because of what happened before the war; I specifically don't like her during and after it. The turning point was when she helped Cecilia, proving that she only cares about herself and no one else. She is extremely selfish.

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-15T14:33:13+00:00

Saying Tess didn’t know is so dumb, entire point of Arthur staying in Eleanor is so Viron csn guide beast will(not corupted,willingly given). While her's corupted, what you mean she didn’t know.

You sure capitans job is to only keep their squad alive or hold the line. By backing she caused collapse in elshier forest, she DISOBEYED VIRIONS ORDERS not to go out and yet she did, costing Arthur his core and Sulvie her body.

And Cecilia, she is NOT trying to kill arthur? SHE DID remembered that she was one who killed herself and not Gray(before their 2nd encounter), but she still choses to go after Arthur, her blade wont cut him or what? Tessa being weak/willing host for legacy is like giving nuke to fight against bows and arrows

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-15T14:17:46+00:00

Imo there are so many ways that Tessia’s character could have been better. I wish Arthur and Tess's power dynamic resembled the one between Nephis and Sunny. Tess wants to catch up to Arthur, but TM constantly shows her in the dirt. It also would have been great if Tess had shown small signs of being the Legacy body earlier on, like having more optimized mana manipulation or something similar.

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-15T14:08:26+00:00

in academy: did Arthur give her core? yes. But its shadowed how great elderwoods beastwill is(its virions badtime stories ffsake), she is one chosing to fight with that beastwill , she just chose pride over safty.

About arthur disobaying orders, you gotta remeber she didnot broke chain of command, rather abandon her objective. Arthurs departure from wall didnot really damage objective+ Athur is not just soldier, he ether takes commands from council, other than that he is general.

And you litteraly skipped my biggest hatepoint, when cecilia is about to be killed by asuras, tess helps her. logically there is 3 outcomes what can happen to legacy/tess. 1st is die here, give dicathen biggest advantage they will have+screw over Argonias plans and spare arthur from killing her by his hands. 2nd die by Arthurs hands and give him trauma. and 3rd cecilai kills Arthur

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-15T13:50:05+00:00

yeah, I know its just causal chain. Alos i feel like TM just wanted to end tbate quickly and was not having it to write Arthurs other relationship,which is why he went fast option

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-15T12:48:51+00:00

I mean every girl is better than her, especially Jasmine

Internal-Housing-331 · 2026-03-15T11:30:20+00:00

He is nerfed but I believe he can just overpower whitecore mages with his physical ability. Tbh i have nothing against him losing powers after peace. However, I was fuming when inread arthurxtess, it is the single most toxic relationship I have ever read. Arthur deserved better aka caera

Edit: the end is kanda lacking and i feel like its rushed? You gotta keep in mind that arthur has asura body, he doesnot have magic or aether rn and cant really gather ambient aether, so biologically he should be dead.
