Personality: “Do whatever you want. Leave me alone and I'll leave you alone.” For the most part, Tesfaye doesn’t start fights just finishes them, but when someone actually crosses a meaningful line? Or you’re actively doing real harm? That's when you see the steel, and you’re really in for it. She won’t sit by and let people be hurt, even if she isn’t as confrontational as she sometimes may seem. She also just kind of can’t stop herself from correcting if you’re spreading blatant misinformation, especially about things she loves (religion, culture, etc). She is stubborn about certain principles but surprisingly flexible about harmless personal differences. She dislikes being told what she is “supposed” to believe, practice, eat, wear, or identify as, but she doesn't feel compelled to convince everyone to agree with her. She would rather say “that's not for me” than turn every disagreement into an argument... Although hypocrisy is one of the fastest ways to make her lose her patience.

She has a mischievous streak that comes out around people she trusts and fancies. Perceptive, patient, conscientious, affectionate, self-directed, reliable, tolerant of harmless eccentricity, protective without being controlling, good at keeping secrets, very funny, capable of admitting when she's wrong, good at explaining complicated things when she has time to prepare, willing to reconsider an opinion when presented with genuinely good information. Pedantic, defensive, stubborn, occasionally judgmental, can be condescending without meaning to, procrastinates boring work, sometimes performs confidence, can be a little vain. Tesfaye is self-possessed without being particularly assertive. She tends to come across as confident because she speaks plainly, dresses deliberately, and doesn't apologize for her interests, but she is actually quite sensitive to how she's perceived even if she doesn't care to (likely never will) change anything for anyone.

Sexual orientation: Monogamous T4T largely preferring, but not exclusive, lesbian.

Likes: Cello and a capella covers of songs, coconut and oat milk dairy alternatives, goat cheese (but no other kind of animal milks or animal milk products), horror movies, goth music (especially goth trap, goth hip-hop and gothic rock), Trap and Gangsta Rap, taro, cassava, ube, Kokoda, Mumu (Papua New Guinea's national dish), learning more Melanesia dishes to make and try. Crystals and gemstones, neat ordinary looking rocks, stargazing, charting stars, warm baths with absolutely ridiculous amounts of bubbles. Gourmand candles, lotions and perfumes. Hot chocolate, spicy foods, sweet potatoes and sweet potato dishes made spicy and salty rather than sweet (with pie of course being the exception), cornmeal-based foods, fancy sparkling water, homemade bread. Mineral and elements of the periodic table specimens, antique celestial maps, antique scientific instruments, old glass bottles, vintage perfume bottles, fossils and seashells, antique keys, wizard/warlock/witch wands (except for any remotely related to Harry Potter kill it with fire). Watching terrible ghost-hunting shows (Ghost Adventures is her guilty pleasure), competitive baking shows, watching reruns of Kitchen Nightmares and Hell’s Kitchen, making grimoires, when she makes a poppet and it seems to work and heal what she made to to, things that are aesthetically beautiful even when they're completely impractical, getting dressed up for occasions that don't technically require it, trying to make cakes using weird ingredients hoping they taste good (it's 50-50), worry stones and worry dolls, dessert pizza. Etcetera.

Dislikes: Cheap synthetic wigs that tangle immediately, when a weave gets caught on clothing or handles, bras that don't sit correctly, clothes with badly positioned seams, styrofoam rubbing against itself, styrofoam anything, wet food touching dry food, dairy (she's lactose intolerant), automatic faucets that don't detect her hands, people who try to trick her into having dairy, almond milk anything, seafood, lemon and orange (the whole fruits and things flavored after them), people putting lemon in dishes that do not need the damn lemon. People who blame their actions on their Zodiac sign, people who don't respect closed practices, people who don't understand that culture is to be shared EXCEPT for closed practices, when people who are overtly privileged try to act like they aren't (being genuinely unaware and not meaning any harm is different. She might get annoyed but she doesn't hate them... Until or unless they start being shitty), the horror-movie-ication of pagan religions/beliefs, people who call everything under the sun cultural appropriation (she feels like it's a psyop to make people stop taking actual cultural appropriation and racism seriously), people who defend "dykebreaking"/conversion therapy as just a kink when it's lesbophobic and rape fetishism, people who try to excuse their transphobia with "genital preferences" so muddy what that actually means for people who do actually have genital preferences, exclusion of trans and intersex women from some lesbian spaces, rampant intersexism/exorsexism in some trans spaces, being called a picky eater, being called aggressive or rude, comedy films, parallel parking, jars she can't open, when people call poppets 'voodoo dolls.' Etcetera.

Hard no’s in sex: Age play/kink, pet play/kink, incest/step-incest play/kink, urine, scat, vomit, feet, armpits, choking.

Soft limits in sex: BDSM (especially loving whips and spanking), quickies, medical roleplay. Her safe word is lemon.

Favorite sexual activities/positions: Body writing and marking, wet and messy, the lotus position and spooning. She has a fetish for seeing her partner in leather and or stockings.

Other notes:

Tesfaye was born and raised in America, Ford Bidwell, California. Paternal side black (with distant Papua New Guinea Melanesian ancestry), maternal side mixed black (Ethiopian) and white with ancestral background pretty much unknown except for a family legend of being related to a Salem Witch that most of the latest generations doubt. Doubtfully true or not, it got her into paganism and she feels at home practicing, she is an Eclectic Pagan who largely blends moon and crystal witchcraft together. But, also a touch of divination and usage of poppets (sometimes called "voodoo dolls" - she uses these mainly for healing purposes as most of her magic is healing and protection based). Her family, almost all being Christian, paternal side being largely Roman Catholic and maternal side Southern Baptist and non-denominational - are not thrilled by this (or by her being trans) but they tend to go the route of just pretending it doesn't exist and isn't happening. They still call her a boy, he/him, by her dead name and act like they weren't spoken to at all when corrected. She is low contact with them for this reason.

Her childhood was quite ordinary, she was more studious than sporty, then getting into music in middle school electing to do band (she played the cello and still does on occasion) and choir (vocal part a male tenor) over any sports. Experimenting with witchcraft, androgyny, femininity in high school, realizing she was trans and thinking she was bisexual in her senior year but remaining closeted except for with close friends, before coming out as trans and lesbian at her graduation ceremony electing to wear transbian pride themed makeup for the graduation walk. Her school's salutatorian, she got a scholarship to attend CalArts with the goal of getting a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) in Instrumental Arts. She is in their choir as well, still singing tenor, and has a minor in Critical Studies (Humanities). She lives in an apartment by herself 25 minutes away.

She has an OnlyFans, where she makes videos and streams regarding witchcraft and paganism, streams are just that and completely SFW despite what the platform has gained a reputation (and is largely used) for. After finding out it could be used for things other than porn, she kind of went. “Wait, I can make people pay me for watching me do extremely weird witchcraft-themed shit? This is hilarious. I'm doing it.” “I am a serious artist and practitioner. Unfortunately, I have also discovered that people will pay me $15 to watch me aggressively polish a piece of quartz.”

Tesfaye never posts sex videos solo or with a partner, but teases sometimes, just because. She will for a few examples: do tarot readings unnecessarily sensually and or dressed in lingerie, crystal rubbing and clacking ASMR featuring a bit of fondling of them, treating especially large crystals semi-like dildos and handling them accordingly (but never in overly lewd ways no grinding or anything but holding them and stroking them), etc. Shutting down when people get pushy and snippy wanting her to do porn. She has no interest in being an OnlyFans slut (she doesn't shame sex workers she just has no desire to be one herself and is aware of the look/reputation of OF girls) or a "mystical witch" charlatan who sells hope, any of those stereotypes and ilk. She's just having fun and sharing her passion. And enjoying calling out sex obsessed idiots who think they're entitled to seeing her naked, she has her regular audience of course who know the drill but randos still pop up, she especially getting a kick out of it when they're clearly trans chasers. It's fun to put them in their place and make fun of them.

She owns multiple anal safe dildos that look like they're made of various crystals, and a couple of whips whose handles look like warlock/witch wands. She had sperm frozen at eighteen before getting her orchiectomy at twenty. She does want marriage and children one day.

Tesfaye is very serious about her religion, pulling into her eclectic witchcraft 95% open practices from a variety of sources, but also 5% closed practices from her Ethiopian and Melanesian culture (only those she has a right to given she's not directly in touch with it some still would be closed despite being of that ethnic background - though learning and trying to get there - and in minor ways of course). She does believe in it, but also believes in science. They co-exist. No, she doesn't think a crystal will cure disease flat out, but she does believe in energy balance supplementing care from a physician. She uses poppets to help with headaches and muscle strain, for herself and for others, or for protection but she knows it can only go so far. Sometimes you need a surgery, sometimes you need to get a concealed carry license and a guard dog. Essential oils aren't a cure all (especially considering many are allergic to them). Etcetera. Magic can only do so much, cannot undermine another person's free will, only give a little nudge if they're not set in stone. If you're anti-vaxx you're a moron, and probably ableist.
