Scientist

Frederica Nikola Tesla is one of the scientists of Anti-Entropy. She is an Serbian woman born in Croatia who has an Austrian citizenship. Like Lieserl Albert Einstein, she joined up with Theresa Apocalypse's efforts to stop Otto Apocalypse's plans. She would later help Murata Himeko in Chapter IX and then keep allying with Theresa in later chapters.

Appearance

Tesla is a fair-skinned woman with red hair tied into two twin tails with darker red bows. She has red eyes that are the same shade as her hair. She also wears a red tie, dark red glasses and dark red gauntlet on her left hand. Her outfit consists of a white shirt, black vest and black skirt. She also wears white tights and brown business shoes.

Story

Frederica Nikola Tesla was born in 1934 in the Austrian Empire, nowadays Croatia/Serbia. Her passion for electricity and machines started with radios. Her parents feared she'd be the only female electrician in town, but she was able to enroll in a prestigious institution of the country after passing the entrance exam.[5] Schicksal HQ was very interested in her due to meeting their special requirements and soon included her on a project of Honkai-powered engines. This was her chance to let her talent in electrical machines shine. After that, she was given the opportunity to grow in the North America Branch.[6]

In the new continent, Tesla started her internship in Supergen Corp (later General Electric) where she met Nancy Thomas Alva Edison, the head of the company and the one pulling the strings at the North America Branch. She tried to give Tesla special education, but personal grievances and conflicts in ideologies ended up causing disagreements between them.[7] While Tesla pulls for her wild and rare inventions, Edison upholds the principles of adaptability and mass production.[8] Tesla defends the creation of weapons as a solution to put wars to an end, but Nancy is totally against manufacturing weaponry. They also understand the economy in different ways. Edison believes Tesla has no sense in fiscal matters, while Tesla accuses her for being a well-off person thanks to her family.

Apparently, Tesla burnt Edison's office in an accident, even though she says it wasn't her fault. On the other hand, Edison hasn't paid Tesla's patent. Years later from Einstein's point of view, Edison just used Tesla as another tool to avenge her deceased parents and overthrow Schicksal.

The ill-fated, starcrossing relationship with Edison ended up with Tesla stepping down on the internship. Her talent would’ve been lost forever if Emma Planck hadn't offered her the opportunity to be enrolled in a doctorate program in Princeton University.[7] It's likely by that time she met Lieserl Albert Einstein and Erwin Reanna Schrödinger due to the fact that they were also Planck's students.

Later, Tesla moved to the Lab 42 of Imperial Institute in London with Einstein and continued her doctorate in the distance. A lot of things happened during their stay. They eventually learned to use the supercomputer Ada and they met Elias Nokianvirtanen, the librarian of the campus, and his 8-years old child Joachim. In the first half of 1955, Tesla was sued for driving drunk, which caused getting her license revoked and forced to do community service for 5 months cleaning the Highgate Cemetery. That year, Tesla participated in the Ω1 experiment alongside Einstein, meeting in October 21 for the first time the Herrscher of Reason Welt Joyce.

Personality

Dr. Tesla has a rather intense personality. Anyone who spends much time around her will likely grow accustomed to the very frequent outbursts of anger coming out of her workshop or the meeting room. She is easily frustrated, both by work issues, but especially by her enemies, and often expresses a desire to solve problems through direct confrontation, preferably while backed by overwhelming firepower. Despite her volatility, Tesla is also very compassionate, and takes great care to make sure that her allies are treated well and does her best not to offend them in moments of vulnerability.

A certain colleague, however, has shown to be a special exception in drawing a mixture of both her ire and her compassion due to her protectiveness in the face of the many dangers he has thrown himself at, and makes no effort in hiding her displeasure.

Speculations Ahead, Let's Talk Them Out
"Speculations" on this wiki refers to commentary or theories that seem plausible enough, but lack outright official confirmation.
As this content might be questioned by the community, information from this section shouldn't be quoted or referenced as if it was factual on other pages and, when referenced, it should be placed under a Speculations header there as well.
  • She could be named after Nikola Tesla, a famous Serbian-American inventor and electrical engineer, known for his contributions to the electromagnetism field and the design of the alternating current (AC) electricity supply system.
  • She is the adoptive mother/guardian of Joffrey Joyce Yang.

    CN text:
    特斯拉: 我已经受够了那种把我当所谓“女孩子”的生活。
    醉鬼的语速陡然加快了起来——
    特斯拉: 简直傻得要死,人类的个性哪里是靠性别啊、种族啊这种无聊的东西来定义的?
    Translated text:
    Tesla: I've had enough of a life that treats me as a simple, ordinary "girl".
    The drunkard's speech suddenly speeds up dramatically —
    Tesla: The whole thing's so stupid, I think I might just die from the stupid. How can human personality be defined by such boring things as gender and race?

    A co-founder of Anti-Entropy (with Welt, Planck, and Tesla). Anti-Entropy used to be the North America Branch of Schicksal. In November 24, 1955, the organization violently seceded from Schicksal and quickly became a global power that rival Schicksal itself.

    Despite calling herself the "girl who created the modern world", she started off as someone who's really into radios. Her parents at first thought that she would grow up as the only female electrician in town until she managed to pass an entrance exam for a prestigious institution in Austria.

    In fact, the reason why the highly specialized (didn't pass her math test) Tesla was enrolled was that she met Schicksal's special requirements. Schicksal HQ just initiated a project on Honkai-powered engines. Tesla's talents in electrical machines allowed her to shine. She was soon moved to the North America Branch.

    Tesla, displeased with Schicksal HQ overhead and management, was also unhappy at the North America Branch. Edison, the boss pulling the strings at the North America Branch, tried to give her special education. The two girls soon hated each other. If it weren't for Planck who enrolled her in a doctorate program, Tesla's unique abilities would be forever lost in the mountains of paperwork.

    Tesla was indeed a rare genius and inventor. Unlike Edison who stubbornly upholds the principles of adaptability and mass production, Tesla's wild imaginations provided Anti-Entropy with plenty of unimaginable tech breakthroughs.
