Tough Tess... I like it. She either has a frog familiar with some sort of rogue class skills (perhaps bardic...) or a sidekick Thief or Bard with a cheesy French accent (there was a fun custom soundset for this back in the day). I'll have to play this pair one day.
The familiar is Kermit? Ability: Cheer Wildly (same as bard song, but louder and more enthusiastic), Wave Arms (unfocusses hostiles for 1 round).
Too squishy - she needs to be a dual-/multiclassed fighter/fighter, with 27 in both dex and con and be able to ride a werebear into battle. Now that's tough!

Tough Tess - "The Gal of Steel".
I must admit that I love the idea of a character duo of this kind, and I would very much enjoy seeing various conceptions of them.
If @varlak doesn't take offense, he has unintentionally spawned a fun idea. Do you mind if we run with this, @varlack?
Tess the Giant Gal of Steel. With the green Werebear Kermit as a pet/companion. I love it!
