== Appearance and Personality ==
Tress likes to see the best in people, not willing to accept that they are bad people beyond redemption. Laggart demanded his own death from Tress after Crow was defeated, but Tress was unwilling to go through with it, as that was not her. She would rather forgive him, than do the easy thing and kill him.{{book ref|tress|55}}
She is quite naive about how the world works, and has much to learn while on her travels looking for Charlie. Simple things
Tress is very brave and willing to go to great lengths to help others, including leaving the island she grew up on for the love of her life.{{book ref|tress|5}} Rather than risking the life of her crew, Tress tries to face the [[Midnight Essence|midnight essence]] alone, believing it to be her task alone and not wanting to lose any more crew.{{book ref|tress|58}}
Tress is an avid collector of cups, and goes out of her way to get her hands on them.{{book ref|tress|1}}{{book ref|tress|2}} She used to wash windows to earn money, of which she would spend on ingredients to make pies for trading with sailors visiting the island for more cups. Tress loves showing off her cups to Charlie, and would always go to him to show new ones off when she got them.{{book ref|tress|2}} Her cups are some of her most prized possessions, and she takes some of her favorite ones with her when she heads off to rescue Charlie.{{book ref|tress|8}}

== Attributes and Abilities ==
== Trivia ==
* Although never stated by the text itself, the painting by [[Howard Lyon]] depicts Riina as trying to cast the [[Aon]] Shao on Tress. This aon is about transformation and also uses illusion magic, indicating that the Sorceress was planning to have Tress's curse revolve around an illusion or transformation.{{file ref|BattleOfWits.jpg|Battle of Wits}} This art should not be taken as fact and Aon Shao is not necessarily the Aon that was used.{{wob ref|16370}}▼

* Some of Tress's attributes such as her pragmatic nature and not wanting to impose on people, are inspired by [[Brandon Sanderson|Brandon]]'s wife, [[Emily Sanderson|Emily]], though Tress is not meant to be a direct parallel of her.{{wob ref|15464}}
* The inspiration behind Tress's agency in setting out to rescue her beloved, comes partly from [[Wikipedia:The_Princess_Bride_(novel)|The Princess Bride]] where the character Buttercup does not pursue her love. Brandon and his wife Emily agreed that Buttercup should have done something more than just falling into despair. What if Buttercup was more proactive?{{wob ref|15423}}
