Description
It took SO LONG, but I've eventually came around revamping Teegan. Which is very ironic, considering she's my main OC

I've accidentally made her anorexic (lol) and idk what her hands are doing, but yeah. Also, I've made Oathkeeper smaller as I suspect she'd struggle carrying the big-ass sword around, even if she herself is far from smol.

Oh and I had a quick picture edit RIGHT before submitting it, because I've forgot to add some of Oathkeeper's decorations. *facetablets*

A n t i - A k u m a W e a p o n ;Innocence Name: Oathkeeper;
Innocence Type: Equip-type;
Syncronization Rate: 100%;
Deactivated Form: Massive sword with a blue rose in the middle of its handle and two blue gemstones at the sides.

Level 1 - Oath of Life
For Oathkeeper to activate, it has to be plunged into the ground. Teegan then pulls the sword out, with words Oathkeeper, arise. Activated, the rose and the gemstones change from blue to white. The sword also glows white. Due to its size, the sword has to be wielded with both hands. To defeat level 1 and sometimes level 2, basic slashing is enough.
Legend Fall Teegan plunges her sword into the ground in front of the enemy. She then must fall back straight away as the ground underneath starts crumbling, forming a hole the enemy falls into. This attack does not cause actual harm to the enemy but is to trap/distract them. It has to be made sure there are no allies nearby the enemy.
Terra Fever The rose on the handle releases a poisonous thorn covered stem which wraps around the entire blade. Teegan then has to slash the enemy - it is a double attack, because the slash alone is meant to cause damage, and a successful attack poisons the enemy. It is mostly effective against level 3 and up, as well as the Noahs.
Avalanche Inferno Teegan launches upwards and slashes the air. It creates multiple fireballs that then rain down on the enemy.
Level 2 - Oath of Blood
To activate level 2, Teegan draws blood from her finger and presses it to the rose. The rose and the gems then turn red and the blade gets surrounded by red aura.
Solemn Flare Holding sword with it's edge facing the enemy, Teegan discharges a solid beam of red light toward a distant target. Anything that gets in a way is set on fire.
Circle of Hell Teegan runs a lap around the enemy, tracing her sword by the ground. Instead of leaving marks, the sword leaves tall walls of thickly burning fire. If the attack is successful, the enemy is trapped in a circle of fire.
Elemental Vortex Holding the sword by her chest, pointed at the enemy, Teegan starts spinning. Slowly at first, but gradually she picks up the speed, turning herself into a vortex. It gains her an very good defence as she deflects nearly all the attacks due to the speed. It also deals a great deal of damage. However, in the state of vortex Teegan is immobile, hence why she usually uses this attack mid-air.
Blood Pact It is an absolute last resort as it is very dangerous for the user and may have a lethal outcome or turn Teegan into the Fallen.To activate Blood Pact, Teegan has to pierce herself with her blade and then pull it out. Tattoos on her arm and leg spread, covering the right side of her body. She then grows fangs and her eyes turn red. Blood Pact isn't an attack itself, it's a stance Teegan must take to use one of the three attacks.
            - Enuma Elish Teegan releases powers of an ancient demon Enuma Elish, which gives her enormous power, incredible speed and makes her immune to pain. The main danger lies in risk of being possessed, which will result in turning into the Fallen. Also the immunity of pain doesn't mean she's invincible - once Enuma Elish is sealed again, the pain returns;
            - Traitor's Demise Teegan makes a circular motion with her sword, creating seven purple flame balls. They surround the enemy, immobilizing them once they form into a circle. They then start closing in until the squash the enemy.
            - Broken Oath This attack breaks Teegan's sword into million small pieces, only leaving the rose. The rose starts leaking blood, and that blood forms into a lance. Teegan can only use it for one thrust as it dissolves straight after, but it ignores any kind of defence and pierces even through attacks sent her way. A single thrust kills the enemy regardless of their level.

| Background

H i s t o r y ;
Teegan was born in the Midlands of Scotland, in a humble family of farmers. Their house was one of the seven that made a community. The area was surrounded by the woods, quite far from the nearest city, a trip to which would only be a once-a-month occurrence. So, it is fair to say Teegan, along her 6 siblings she was the oldest of, grew up in the woods. Although it consisted a lot of hard work and chores, Teegan's childhood was bright and filled with love as the community they lived in had always been very close and supportive. In the evenings, children would gather in a house of the oldest lady in there and listen to stories about ancient druids, forest deities, faeries and other mystical beings inhabiting the woods. Once, the lady told a story about a magical sword the Elders had hidden in those woods. According to the legend, the sword had a bright blue rose on its handle and the wielder of it would be granted powers to save the world in it's darkest hour. However, the sword would only submit to a hero with a pure soul, the one blessed by the gods.

Although deeply moved by the story, Teegan soon forgot it. Until one day, when playing hide-and-seek in the woods with other kids, she, while being it, noticed something shining in the grass. As she approached, Teegan realized it was a sword...With a blue rose on its handle. She called other kids to show her discovery, and they then all took turns trying to lift it. It seemed as if the sword wasn't just big, but also so heavy no one could actually move it. However, when Teegan's turn came and she wrapped fingers around the handle, the sword started glowing and, to everyone's amazement, Teegan raised it above her head. Dazzled by their discovery, kids rushed back to the community to inform adults of their discovery and that the old tale was true. But when they came back, they found the site empty. All the adults had vanished. All but one. The old lady came out from her house, surprising the kids as they knew the lady was no longer able to walk. She then asked Teegan to give her a sword to take a closer look. Growing very anxious, Teegan took a step forward, ready to hand the sword over, even if hesitant. A firm adult voice from behind ordered her not to give the sword and to back off. Before Teegan even had time to look at the owner of the voice, the old lady transformed into an akuma. Before it could cause any harm, General Byron eliminated it. He told terrified kids that the akuma had killed everyone in the community and that they were lucky to be in the woods. He then turned to shocked Teegan and ruffled her hair, saying she was indeed a chosen one. Being a kind man, General Byron took all the kids to the city, fearing they might not survive on their own in the woods. Before leaving, he set the houses on fire, just in case the kids ever wanted to return. In the city, he gave them for an orphanage, all except Teegan.

Teegan first arrived to the Order at the age of 11. Her sync level at the time was only 42%, but under care of General Byron, it did not take long to improve it. Years passed by, faces in the Order kept on changing. Upon her becoming Byron's apprentice, Kuro Kei was already there, training under Byron. It didn't take long for the kids of similar age to click on. Few years after, Lisette Rosseau became part of the team. From the age of 14, Kuro and Teegan started dating. When Teegan was 16, a new young scientist appeared. She assumed he was in his 20ies, and eventually developed a crush. The scientist's name was Cross Marian.

The young exorcist was oblivious to how obvious her interest was, especially for someone with quite some experience. Cross, being himself, didn't push the girl away. Instead, he played a long for a while, driving her to the point Teegan ended up confessing she loved him. Although she was still in a relationship with Kuro, at the age of 17, she's given herself to Cross. Both agreed to keep it secret and sort of avoided each other ever since, however Teegan still fancied him big time. Some time later, General Byron, Teegan's mentor, was killed during the mission. The trio was re-assigned under General Yeegar, but Kuro opposed it, claiming he's better on his own. Soon after, Kuro went missing.

Lisette remained Teegan's best friend and was the only person aware of her and Cross. However, Cross became the key element of their friendship being ruined. With questionable morals and distorted understanding of people interactions, Lisette, deciding Teegan had Kuro anyways, decided to find out what was so special about the scientist, not taking long to sleep with him. Which she had openly confronted Teegan with, causing the first big argument which, essentially, became the trigger of them becoming rivals.

Years went by, but the girls never got over the fight and taunted each other on every occasion, deepening the problem and remaining enemies. Following the argument, few months later, Lisette, similarly to Kuro, left Yeegar's mentoring and transferred to another branch. Around that time, Cross also became an exorcist. With no hope left for Kuro to be alive, Lisette gone and finally having more excuses to stick around the redhead, Teegan decided to give it another shot. To her relief, Cross welcomed the idea. The pair became very close, no longer denying the past. They've developed somewhat of a relationship, however it was never official. But, within the Order, they were known as sweetheart.

Cross then became a general, and although Teegan was a little jealous he outdid her as an exorcist, she was proud to no end. She was also very motivated to get as strong as him, to make him just as proud. However, things did not work out the way she wanted them to.

On one occasion, stupidly drunk Cross ended up proposing Teegan. And, despite knowing he is not in a right state of mind, she said yes. Being as young and naive as she was, Teegan believed alcohol gave him courage to do something he was too scared to do sober. Her dreams were shattered when next day she woke up to a note of a quick apology, saying Cross was drunk and he meant none of that. She's also learned he left on a mission early that morning and the Order couldn't get in touch with him.

Few months later, Teegan actually received a letter from Cross. Despite being heartbroken, she was glad to find out he was alright and expected an apology in the letter or at least an explanation. To her dismay, Cross sent her his bill from a brothel to pay. Teegan's been getting those for next half of a year, and had no other choice but to pay.

Not long after, a rebellious child, involved with juvenile crimes, joins the Order. Teegan instantly notes Sphinx's appearance strongly resembles Cross and, upon very little research, finds out the kid is actually his younger sibling. From there on, she stubbornly mothers over the boy, often ending up as a primer victim of his, sometimes sinister, pranks. However, since she refuses to give up, Sphinx eventually accepts Teegan, allowing her to become a mother figure in his life.

Teegan's dream of becoming a general came to life. After a particularly nasty Innocence retrieval mission, which also involved the Fallen, Teegan had not only reached a 100% sync rate, but saved all her comrades but the Fallen. It was nearly miraculous how such mess had only resulted in one causality, and since everyone agreed it was all thanks to Teegan, she was officially assigned to be a general at the age of 24.

Straight after her assignation and a big party to celebrate both, the completion of the mission and her new rank, with a splitting hangover, she left the HQs, incredibly excited to explore more of the world than she's already known. Secretly, she also wished to run into Cross.

Most of time, Teegan would travel around the United Kingdom, but after a couple of years she had been all over it. She then decided to discover a more exotic world and went to South America. She travelled mostly through the jungle and, at some point, saved a tribe from the akuma's attack. In gratitude, they allowed Teegan into their community, where she was gladly learning more about their culture and would spend a lot of time playing with children. At some point, however, Teegan gets to leave. In her honour, the tribe throws a big celebration which includes native dances and, of course, alcohol. Teegan has one too many drinks and learns her body is not used to do drink such kind of alcohol. She goes to sleep, and in her dream a shaman of the tribe appears, begging her to pay him a visit. Teegan wakes up after that dream, feeling as if she's been asleep for just a few minutes. What she finds is the site being destroyed and not a single person left. She is then attacked by an akuma. Since it's another level 1, Teegan defeats it with no problems, but she is devastated she got so drunk she couldn't even wake up at the sound of the village being destroyed. As her last resort she decides to trust the dream and rushes to the remains of the shaman's hut. She finds him alive, but the shape of his no longer resembles a human - his eyes are red, he has fangs, blood is streaming down his face as the horns he grew broke the skin on his forehead. The shaman tells Teegan he had the ancient demon Enuma Elish sealed in him, but the akuma's poison killed his body - the remains of his spirit is what keeps the demon and if he can't seal him into somebody else, Enuma Elish will be released and cause chaos. The shaman begs Teegan to become a new carrier as her soul is pure enough to sustain the demon and, having no other choice, to her own risk, she agrees. The shaman, mumbling spells, wipes blood off his forehead and draws symbols first on Teegan's arm, then on her leg - they start burning and Teegan realizes they turned into somewhat of a tattoo. She then starts getting horrible visions and feels as if her soul is being consumed. However, she regains control over herself and conquers the demon she was now to carry within herself. After that, Teegan falls unconscious and only wakes up next day to the remains of what was the tribe.

Few more years passed till she got an urgent call to return to the Order due to an emergency. In that period, Teegan learned she can use powers of Enuma Elish combined with her Innocence, but it is very risky. Her sync rate has dropped significantly, and upon a longer activation time, the demon is starting to take over her mind. She also decides not to tell the Order about it.

Still being in a deep jungle, she takes a very long time to finally make it back - by the time she's back, the Order had moved to the new HQs. Learning of the situation they are in, Teegan then decides to stay. People who've known Teegan prior, such as Lenalee, Sphinx and others, are surprised to learn she's got body art. Soccalo, who's a local to the area, recognizes the markings at once and doesn't buy the tattoo story. He pulls Teegan to his room, calling her a foolish woman for accommodating a mythical entity she's unfamiliar with. She then confesses she's no longer on a general level, begging Soccalo to help. They make a deal that Soccalo will train her in order to regain her sync rate. In return, Teegan agrees to do anything Soccalo might want her to. The result of all are multiple bruises she tries to cover up. Teegan is also hesitant to go on missions as she's too scared they might be too difficult for her to handle, and not only her secret will be out, but she'll endanger everyone.

To make the matters only more difficult, she, as a general, is assigned to have two apprentices: Gabrielle and Lyra. It appears to be a struggle, but with the two being quite new, plus Sphinx's assistance, Teegan deals with the missions fairly well. Thanks to Soccalo's training, her sync rate increases, but is still very unstable.

Things stop working in her favour when she, after avoiding it as much as she could, eventually gets to confront Cross, whom she had last seen upon the drunk proposal. Not only she didn't quite get over him, but, to worsen the situation, the pair is sent of a mission, which is only for the generals to handle. Teegan decides to separate from him midway the mission and flee. However, they're attacked by level 3 akumas right upon arrival. She hesitates to activate Innocence up to the point Cross nearly gets hit, covering his back at the cost of nearly losing herself to the demon. As an indication of the demon taking over, her body markings start to spread, and Cross eventually discovers her, demanding for her to deactivate Innocence at once.

After the fight, Teegan knocks Cross over and, after taking him to the hospital, attempts to flee. However, she ends up underestimating him, and the redhead soon catches up with her, demanding an explanation, to which Teegan snaps, claiming he owes her some of these, too. Cross is a little startled she's still mad at him after all those years, but ends up apologizing, admitting he didn't feel ready for this kind of commitment, and although it was a horrible thing to do, he believes it was the best way. And he'd refer his brothel bills to her in hope hatred would make her get over it faster. In exchange, Teegan also shares her story, including the deal she has with Soccalo. Cross then suggests to take over training her, ensuring Soccalo won't sell her out to the Order. However, he is worried as for what may happen in the period, even suggesting Teegan to fake her death. Teegan declines, claiming she loves the Order and people in there.

Upon their return, the two grow close again and actually start a relationship that lasts up until Cross' "death"/disappearance. It's not the steadiest one, considering Teegan learns about Anita and other women he had in that period. Since she's no longer a teenage girl, her gentle and sensitive approach had long changed, and instead of crying over stupid things Cross does to upset her, Teegan adopts and habit of smacking him with a frying pan. Upon Cross' disappearance, she also finds out she's pregnant with his child. As the boy is born, she names him Tristan.

Q u o t e s ;"The woods...They speak to us. But we choose not to hear."
"I wonder if the all the romance in the world was put into the novels, hence why it doesn't seem to exist nowadays."
"Why such gloomy faces? It's a new mission! A chance to visit a new place! Aren't you excited?!"
"Nothing is as sacred as a promise."
"Ah, this world should have more tall men."
"Now, now, kids. Don't be so mean to each other. You are stuck together until one of you dies. Enjoy each other's presence while you can!" - to Kanda and Allen

T r i v i a ;- Teegan is very self-conscious about her height.
- She is very capable of learning languages - she speaks English, German, French, Spanish and Zulu;
- Although she is not a religious person, Teegan seems to follow ideology of Druidism;
- Her uniform is sleeveless, mostly due to the heat in the jungle;
- She named the golem Cross gave her Tandie, which means fire in Zulu;
- A lot like Lenalee, Teegan views Order as a family and often treats the younger exorcists as her legitimate children or younger siblings;
- Unlike Cross, Teegan tried to stay in touch with the Order as much as it was possible, but it was very difficult;
- One of her ways to revenge Cross was writing a fan fiction about him and Allen. Leaving it at the most visible place, to be sure he reads it;
- Timcanpy and Tandie were designed to react to each other within a 100 meters distance. Both golems would then rush to meet each other for no other reason but to circle around each other. Cross had personally added this feature as a sign of his affection to Teegan, although it could be disabled any time. However, even as he left, Teegan didn't. Upon her return to the Order, Tandie rushed to reunite with Tim, reminding Teegan such function existed. But soon Tim was followed by Allen, driving her to a terrible realization Cross had given his golem away. She wasn't pleased a slightest bit, as she'd always view Tim and Tandie as a symbol of their love.

With questionable morals and distorted understanding of people interactions, Lisette, deciding Teegan had Kuro anyways, decided to find out what was so special about the scientist, not taking long to sleep with him. Which she had openly confronted Teegan with, causing the first big argument which, essentially, became the trigger of them becoming rivals.

Years went by, but the girls never got over the fight and taunted each other on every occasion, deepening the problem and remaining enemies. Following the argument, few months later, Lisette, similarly to Kuro, left Yeegar's mentoring and transferred to another branch. Around that time, Cross also became an exorcist. With no hope left for Kuro to be alive, Lisette gone and finally having more excuses to stick around the redhead, Teegan decided to give it another shot. To her relief, Cross welcomed the idea. The pair became very close, no longer denying the past. They've developed somewhat of a relationship, however it was never official. But, within the Order, they were known as sweetheart.

Cross then became a general, and although Teegan was a little jealous he outdid her as an exorcist, she was proud to no end. She was also very motivated to get as strong as him, to make him just as proud. However, things did not work out the way she wanted them to.

On one occasion, stupidly drunk Cross ended up proposing Teegan. And, despite knowing he is not in a right state of mind, she said yes. Being as young and naive as she was, Teegan believed alcohol gave him courage to do something he was too scared to do sober. Her dreams were shattered when next day she woke up to a note of a quick apology, saying Cross was drunk and he meant none of that. She's also learned he left on a mission early that morning and the Order couldn't get in touch with him.

Few months later, Teegan actually received a letter from Cross. Despite being heartbroken, she was glad to find out he was alright and expected an apology in the letter or at least an explanation. To her dismay, Cross sent her his bill from a brothel to pay. Teegan's been getting those for next half of a year, and had no other choice but to pay.

Not long after, a rebellious child, involved with juvenile crimes, joins the Order. Teegan instantly notes Sphinx's appearance strongly resembles Cross and, upon very little research, finds out the kid is actually his younger sibling. From there on, she stubbornly mothers over the boy, often ending up as a primer victim of his, sometimes sinister, pranks. However, since she refuses to give up, Sphinx eventually accepts Teegan, allowing her to become a mother figure in his life.

Teegan's dream of becoming a general came to life. After a particularly nasty Innocence retrieval mission, which also involved the Fallen, Teegan had not only reached a 100% sync rate, but saved all her comrades but the Fallen. It was nearly miraculous how such mess had only resulted in one causality, and since everyone agreed it was all thanks to Teegan, she was officially assigned to be a general at the age of 24.

Straight after her assignation and a big party to celebrate both, the completion of the mission and her new rank, with a splitting hangover, she left the HQs, incredibly excited to explore more of the world than she's already known. Secretly, she also wished to run into Cross.

Most of time, Teegan would travel around the United Kingdom, but after a couple of years she had been all over it. She then decided to discover a more exotic world and went to South America. She travelled mostly through the jungle and, at some point, saved a tribe from the akuma's attack. In gratitude, they allowed Teegan into their community, where she was gladly learning more about their culture and would spend a lot of time playing with children. At some point, however, Teegan gets to leave. In her honour, the tribe throws a big celebration which includes native dances and, of course, alcohol. Teegan has one too many drinks and learns her body is not used to do drink such kind of alcohol. She goes to sleep, and in her dream a shaman of the tribe appears, begging her to pay him a visit. Teegan wakes up after that dream, feeling as if she's been asleep for just a few minutes. What she finds is the site being destroyed and not a single person left. She is then attacked by an akuma. Since it's another level 1, Teegan defeats it with no problems, but she is devastated she got so drunk she couldn't even wake up at the sound of the village being destroyed. As her last resort she decides to trust the dream and rushes to the remains of the shaman's hut. She finds him alive, but the shape of his no longer resembles a human - his eyes are red, he has fangs, blood is streaming down his face as the horns he grew broke the skin on his forehead. The shaman tells Teegan he had the ancient demon Enuma Elish sealed in him, but the akuma's poison killed his body - the remains of his spirit is what keeps the demon and if he can't seal him into somebody else, Enuma Elish will be released and cause chaos. The shaman begs Teegan to become a new carrier as her soul is pure enough to sustain the demon and, having no other choice, to her own risk, she agrees. The shaman, mumbling spells, wipes blood off his forehead and draws symbols first on Teegan's arm, then on her leg - they start burning and Teegan realizes they turned into somewhat of a tattoo. She then starts getting horrible visions and feels as if her soul is being consumed. However, she regains control over herself and conquers the demon she was now to carry within herself. After that, Teegan falls unconscious and only wakes up next day to the remains of what was the tribe.

Few more years passed till she got an urgent call to return to the Order due to an emergency. In that period, Teegan learned she can use powers of Enuma Elish combined with her Innocence, but it is very risky. Her sync rate has dropped significantly, and upon a longer activation time, the demon is starting to take over her mind. She also decides not to tell the Order about it.

Still being in a deep jungle, she takes a very long time to finally make it back - by the time she's back, the Order had moved to the new HQs. Learning of the situation they are in, Teegan then decides to stay. People who've known Teegan prior, such as Lenalee, Sphinx and others, are surprised to learn she's got body art. Soccalo, who's a local to the area, recognizes the markings at once and doesn't buy the tattoo story. He pulls Teegan to his room, calling her a foolish woman for accommodating a mythical entity she's unfamiliar with. She then confesses she's no longer on a general level, begging Soccalo to help. They make a deal that Soccalo will train her in order to regain her sync rate. In return, Teegan agrees to do anything Soccalo might want her to. The result of all are multiple bruises she tries to cover up. Teegan is also hesitant to go on missions as she's too scared they might be too difficult for her to handle, and not only her secret will be out, but she'll endanger everyone.

To make the matters only more difficult, she, as a general, is assigned to have two apprentices: Gabrielle and Lyra. It appears to be a struggle, but with the two being quite new, plus Sphinx's assistance, Teegan deals with the missions fairly well. Thanks to Soccalo's training, her sync rate increases, but is still very unstable.

Things stop working in her favour when she, after avoiding it as much as she could, eventually gets to confront Cross, whom she had last seen upon the drunk proposal. Not only she didn't quite get over him, but, to worsen the situation, the pair is sent of a mission, which is only for the generals to handle. Teegan decides to separate from him midway the mission and flee. However, they're attacked by level 3 akumas right upon arrival. She hesitates to activate Innocence up to the point Cross nearly gets hit, covering his back at the cost of nearly losing herself to the demon. As an indication of the demon taking over, her body markings start to spread, and Cross eventually discovers her, demanding for her to deactivate Innocence at once.

After the fight, Teegan knocks Cross over and, after taking him to the hospital, attempts to flee. However, she ends up underestimating him, and the redhead soon catches up with her, demanding an explanation, to which Teegan snaps, claiming he owes her some of these, too. Cross is a little startled she's still mad at him after all those years, but ends up apologizing, admitting he didn't feel ready for this kind of commitment, and although it was a horrible thing to do, he believes it was the best way. And he'd refer his brothel bills to her in hope hatred would make her get over it faster. In exchange, Teegan also shares her story, including the deal she has with Soccalo. Cross then suggests to take over training her, ensuring Soccalo won't sell her out to the Order. However, he is worried as for what may happen in the period, even suggesting Teegan to fake her death. Teegan declines, claiming she loves the Order and people in there.

Upon their return, the two grow close again and actually start a relationship that lasts up until Cross' "death"/disappearance. It's not the steadiest one, considering Teegan learns about Anita and other women he had in that period. Since she's no longer a teenage girl, her gentle and sensitive approach had long changed, and instead of crying over stupid things Cross does to upset her, Teegan adopts and habit of smacking him with a frying pan. Upon Cross' disappearance, she also finds out she's pregnant with his child. As the boy is born, she names him Tristan.

Q u o t e s ;"The woods...They speak to us. But we choose not to hear."
"I wonder if the all the romance in the world was put into the novels, hence why it doesn't seem to exist nowadays."
"Why such gloomy faces? It's a new mission! A chance to visit a new place! Aren't you excited?!"
"Nothing is as sacred as a promise."
"Ah, this world should have more tall men."
"Now, now, kids. Don't be so mean to each other. You are stuck together until one of you dies. Enjoy each other's presence while you can!" - to Kanda and Allen

T r i v i a ;- Teegan is very self-conscious about her height.
- She is very capable of learning languages - she speaks English, German, French, Spanish and Zulu;
- Although she is not a religious person, Teegan seems to follow ideology of Druidism;
- Her uniform is sleeveless, mostly due to the heat in the jungle;
- She named the golem Cross gave her Tandie, which means fire in Zulu;
- A lot like Lenalee, Teegan views Order as a family and often treats the younger exorcists as her legitimate children or younger siblings;
- Unlike Cross, Teegan tried to stay in touch with the Order as much as it was possible, but it was very difficult;
- One of her ways to revenge Cross was writing a fan fiction about him and Allen. Leaving it at the most visible place, to be sure he reads it;
- Timcanpy and Tandie were designed to react to each other within a 100 meters distance. Both golems would then rush to meet each other for no other reason but to circle around each other. Cross had personally added this feature as a sign of his affection to Teegan, although it could be disabled any time. However, even as he left, Teegan didn't. Upon her return to the Order, Tandie rushed to reunite with Tim, reminding Teegan such function existed. But soon Tim was followed by Allen, driving her to a terrible realization Cross had given his golem away. She wasn't pleased a slightest bit, as she'd always view Tim and Tandie as a symbol of their love.
