Tess R.'s family moved around a lot (military family) so she had a difficult time fitting in. She took up the goth subculture but still hasn't made many friends besides her mildly abusive boyfriend Dillon who is even more of a fake goth than she is and mocks anyone regardless of whether they subscribe to the goth subculture or not. He is especially mean to overweight women which makes Tess insecure as she is mildly overweight but she unfortunately follows along in his bullying due to insecurity
