LORE
Raised in the city of waste made Tesa didn't like to stay at her homeland. She grew in the city called Catapolis, one of the land that survived during the extreme heat apocalypse, hundreds decades ago. There was no sight of trees as far as the eyes can saw, only a land full of living machines. The city was known for its machine called Machina, a very advanced machine that only use heat for its power source. Living in the city full of machines made Tesa know a lot about steel-crafting, which slowly became her hobby. Her first handmade Machina was a flying machine that could observe its surrounding in a great distance, which She called Rabi as its name. She also like to made some small gadgets to help her work in Machina Workshop. As she bored doing her regular life, Tesa decided to take a journey to discover a new world, along with Rabi, as she though there was a hope to recover the wasteland.
