Terrence Fallon was born in 1906 on a ship in the Atlantic as his family emigrated from Dublin to New York.
As a middle child in a large Irish Catholic family he found himself dissatisfied with his body, his faith, his future and his very identity.
Teri ran away from home at 15 with a bundle of her older sisters clothes and the contents of his parish's donation box. He survived on the street as a thief, a prostitute and later as a 'performer' at various clubs.
On night after a bad week of hallucinations, nightmares and animal encounters, under the light of half the moon Teri found out what she really was. He was stumbling down an ally trying to get away from a beer barrel full of screaming mouths and convinced that cocaine was probably a mistake when she ran into a group of thugs. These guys were happy to find a trashed pretty girl in an ally; they were not so happy to discover she was a boy; they were really unhappy when the guy holding Teri down suddenly tore in two...
[Insert Pack Here] found Teri unconscious in the outskirts of central park in the shredded remains of his dress, splattered in blood. When they found out her name, they looked at how they found her and immediately gave her the nickname of Tear.
Teri spent some time with [Werewolf] who taught her about what she was. He taught Teri the wonder of shapeshifting; about her Auspice the Half-Moon Elodoth; about the People's history and legends; about her responsibilities to her territory and the spirit world; and most of all about the Red Wolf.
He loved it.
Teri liked the human world, she wanted to be a part of it, but on his own terms; so Tear became an Iron Master. Now she blends in or makes a scene as he desires. Teri can move between social circles and take what she wants.
And she tries to have fun.
Small and slight, Teri is closer to pretty then handsome.
He has pale skin, light brown hair and blue eyes.
When he's being a boy he slicks his hair back and wears a fedora.
When she's being a girl she wears a wig and generally dresses
like a flapper (her slight build isn't too far from the female
ideal of the time).
Teri isn't really a Transsexual in the modern sense of the word, she doesn't identify as a girl who just happens to have a male body. She sees herself as both and either: in how he dresses; how she identifies herself; and what he's attracted to sexually. This was her psyche's way of dealing with the mutability of being a werewolf (especially an Elodoth).
Teri wants more then just to survive, he wants to have fun. He likes to meet people, but rarely forms any kind of close bond. She can act like an airhead interested only in attention, sex and drugs; but she has a sharp mind and is always looking out for number one. She really isn't pack leader material, but she won't be afraid to speak her mind or get her hands dirty if necessary.
Already used to being a freak hidden in the herd Teri has
adapted well to being a werewolf, but that doesn't mean she's
completely comfortable with the pack that found and trained her.
Being quite a bit younger then most of them, and being strange
even by Uratha standards has left her feeling that she wouldn't
be welcome as full pack mate, they accept her as an amusing mascot
at best and an annoying, perverted interloper at worst.
"Yeah, sure Tear. Look we're busy. I think there were some
pretty dresses on the other side of the park, go look at them..."
Tear would like to have a pack to hunt with, but he's not sure what sort of territory he'd like to settle down in. He knows he's not the most dangerous of Werewolves, and he has no desire to head out into the world alone...
