Biography

Suikoden II

I promise... I will return to Greenhill... I will once again walk these streets.... I will once again breathe this air... And my lips will once again call this town's name! Wait for me... I will return!

— Teresa Wisemail

Teresa Wisemail is the daughter of Alec Wisemail, the mayor of Greenhill City. As Alec became gravely ill, Teresa took over his duties, gaining a large amount of popularity and becoming an icon for the town. Following her father's death, she refused the position of mayor and so the townspeople created the office of acting mayor for her.

During the Dunan Unification War, the Highland Kingdom was able to capture Greenhill without much difficulty; however, Teresa was able to get away and hid in the forests behind Greenhill. The New State Army would eventually smuggle her out and she swore that she would return.

As a member of the New State Army, Teresa participated in battle and accompanied Riou to Muse in an unsuccessful attempt to negotiate a peace treaty. After Greenhill had been liberated, Teresa remained with the New State Army throughout the war.

Following the war, Teresa became mayor of Greenhill and made peace with the nearby Karaya Clan before later becoming the President of the newly formed Dunan Republic.

-The Highland army placed a bounty on Teresa's head. The [[New State Army]] responded by attempting to rescue Teresa. However, Teresa refused to go along with them and intended to turn herself in to Highland in hopes that it would stop the occupation<ref>"I will be the cause of no more suffering for my people. Once they have captured me, Highland's oppression of Greenhill will end... I have no other options." - Teresa Wisemail ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. When she came to hand herself in, a large group of citizens urged her to escape, so that she could one day liberate Greenhill. Convinced by the show of support by her people, Teresa left Greenhill with the New State Army, but swore that she would return.

-Teresa joined the battle to liberate Greenhill, showing a small party of New State Army soldiers how to sneak into the town by using some of the town's many secret passages<ref>"A small group should be able to sneak inside the city, avoid detection, and open the gate from the inside. I will show you the way." - Teresa Wisemail ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.

-==Personality and Traits==
-Teresa enjoyed great popularity, especially in Greenhill. As the mayor's daughter, Teresa had been watched closely by the town, even as a child<ref>"It was hard for her being the mayor's daughter in school.  Everybody talking about her, staring at her.... I know how she musta felt." - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. Many citizens had high opinions of her<ref>"Even though Teresa's young she's doing her best. We try to support her in everything we do." - Man ([[Suikoden II]])</ref><ref>"Do you know Lady Teresa? She's a wonderful person." - Male Student ([[Suikoden II]])</ref> and were sympathetic to her despite the principality's troubles<ref>"We've had terrible crops these past few years...But the acting mayor, Teresa, already has her share of troubles..." - Man ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
-Due to her life in the spotlight, she was also gossiped about by some citizens, particularly in regards to her relationship with [[Shin]]<ref>"Some people say Teresa and her bodyguard Shin are 'close friends,' if you know what I mean, but it's just a rumor." - Female Student ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. Despite these romantic rumors, Teresa actually was somewhat clueless in regards to men<ref>"I'm so embarrassed to be asking you this, but what kind of women do men like? I need some advice." - Teresa Wisemail ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. [[Richmond]] thought that it was obvious that Teresa and Shin were in love with one another, but both were too stubborn to act on it<ref>"Everyone knows that she's really in love with Shin, but they're both so damned stubborn." - Richmond ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
-Teresa was widely devoted to the people of Greenhill. When [[Muse Principality|Muse]] and [[Greenhill Principality|Greenhill]] soldiers began to kill one another for food, Teresa was highly shaken by this and felt powerless to stop such violence<ref>"That... is what happened... Comrades-in-arms... Killing each other over mere food... All that remains in us was distrust for each other... And...  I, as acting mayor of Greenhill, could not prevent this..." - Teresa Wisemail ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. She was prepared to hand herself over to Highland in order to save her people trouble, even knowing that such an act would likely mean her death<ref>"Then... Please bear witness to the end of my life." - Teresa Wisemail ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>. Even after joining the [[New State Army]], Teresa realized that she felt more at home in Greenhill than anywhere else<ref>"I've gotten used to your lovely castle, but the more I'm here, the more I realize I belong in Greenhill." - Teresa Wisemail ([[Suikoden II]])</ref>.
