Introducing Seris VanTessa!
Seris VanTessa grew up in New Jersey, just across the water from New York, and made it to Barnard College at Columbia University in 1942 at freshly eighteen years old. She was randomly assigned Riyo Chuchi as a roommate that first year and they’ve lived together in Hartley Hall ever since, even after Riyo moved on to her doctoral program.
Through Riyo she got to know Echo and his twin brother Fives not long before both were deployed. Echo was easy to like: disciplined, straightforward, clearly devoted to Riyo. Fives was fun and great company. It seemed natural that she and Fives might pair off the way Echo and Riyo had, but it never quite took. Fives had a wandering eye and Seris had better things to do with her time. She has always preferred the intellectual type anyway, though she hasn’t had much occasion to act on that preference. Between school, volunteering, and performing, dating has been the easiest thing to set aside.
She is pursuing dual degrees in dance and political science. The plan is a dance career while she’s young and able, and then a political career after. She keeps herself strung and busy: studying during the day and dancing at night as a Copa Girl at the Copacabana. It was her big break and the job she landed after spending part of her undergrad with the USO, performing with a dance troupe and helping host club nights and events for troops.
Seris is set to finish both degrees in 1945 and move straight into her master’s in the same two subjects.
