Teresa Lueders-Booth

Teresa is Lindsey's daughter and Ashley's twin sister. She was later adopted and raised by Eugene. Her first appearance is with James and Eugene in Chapter 13: The New Neighbors

Appearance/Personality
Teresa has light skin and shoulder-length black hair that covers her eyes. Teresa's hair used to be blonde and wavy but she dyed it black and started regularly straightening it shortly after her fifteenth birthday. She considers that point in her life a milestone because it was around that time Teresa decided she wanted to know more about her old life. Part of doing so, at least for her, involved changing her look. She no longer saw herself as Eugene's apprentice/daughter. She was Teresa, a new person on a quest to learn more about her identity. Teresa's eyes are blue but they change to brown whenever she's at risk of using more of her animal curse. Unlike her eyes, the clearly white stripes that run down Teresa's arms and body don't vanish. Teresa usually wears a long-sleeve sweatshirt and blue-jeans to hide the stripes.

Teresa is sarcastic and often witty. She cares a lot for her family and friends but is willing to rebel if she sees necessary. This is a trait she shares with her twin sister Ashley. She's adventurous and a good fighter. Teresa prefers to take things in her own hands rather than waiting for things to change.
