Hi Lyssie, I'm Becca!
Anyway, considering that I have thirteen lovely characters, there are surprisingly few of them who would be likely to know Tess that well... But I'll throw a few things out there and see what you think.
First off, my professor character, Emily Marsdon. I saw that Tess likes Care of Magical Ceatures, which is what Emily teaches. Em is a young teacher - she's only been teaching just over a year, and is still slightly bemused at the turn her life's taken, because she's an ex-wildchild who was famed for doing crazy things at school and spent half her life in detention... She tends to see herself in the bad kids, so she often secretly likes them best... I don't know if/when we'd ever rp them together, but I imagine they'd have a good teacher/student relationship.
My only Gryffindor is Jo Kirke and she's a 6th Year, so again, I don't know how much they'd interact. Jo's pretty laid back and accepting of people, but she doesn't like shallow people that much, and she can't really be bothered with bitchy, manipulative people. She's not someone who would really show that she disliked someone though - she'd more just avoid them if she could. Random threads in the common room or something would be all I can really think of...
Lily Potter is probably the likeliest bet for Tess to know, as they're the same year (Lily's a Ravenclaw) but they have very little in common. Lily is shy, a bit naive (although she comes across as more naive than she actually is) and a complete bookworm. Lily finds people like Tess intimidating until she gets to know them, and then she's fine with them (she's grown up with some pretty loud personalities around her, after all...) - it's just the getting to know them bit that gets in the way, because of her shyness - she doesn't really approach people and she goes tongue tied with new people. On the other hand, she's friends with people like Bronson and Shelly (she's been in the same house as them for four and a half years, so she's quite comfortable with them now) and also Abby, although Rhiannon is her best friend. And she's also vegetarian, so that's one thing they do have in common, although they might not have realised it...
The only other person I can think of is Louis Weasley, who's the year above her and in Hufflepuff. He's extremely easygoing, to the point that he can't really say no to anything. He's a happy-go-lucky Weasley prankster who's always up for a laugh, although he does have a more serious side which is starting to show a bit more at the moment, and as you can see, he won slut of the month last month, although that was totally undeserved, as he's only kissed one person in the last month (she just happened to be Abby Longbottom, his cousin's girlfriend...). Oh, and he's also the worst prefect in the world. I don't really know how he and Tess would get on - most of his friends are Hufflepuffs and Slytherins, but then again, a lot of his family are Gryffindors. Might be fun to thread them some time though.
Oh, and the only other person I should mention is Scorpius Malfoy, since Tess is friendly with his little sister. However, unless she was close friends with Ella, he probably wouldn't even have bothered to learn her name, so I think they'd be vaguely aware of each other's existence and that would be about it...
