The Last of Us won’t ship until May 7, 2013, but Naughty Dog has revealed some character details for one of the upcoming games’ main roles – Tess.

Eric Monacelli, community strategist for Naughty Dog, posted details regarding Tess on the PlayStation Blog.  Tess is Joel’s partner and is described as being strong and street smart.  Tess voice and look will come from Annie Wersching who previously acted on the popular TV series 24.

Here are some more details on Tess, as posted by Monacelli: “A hardened survivor living in one of the last remaining quarantine zones, Tess operates in the black market of a city under martial law. Partners with Joel, they have become known within the criminal underworld for their ruthlessness. Street smart and confident, Tess is a savvy strategist and negotiator. Her ability to generate intelligent plans to secure the contraband for their trade is second to none.”

As for the relationship between Joel and Tess, Monacelli wrote: “Tess and Joel subscribe to the same dog-eat-dog philosophy. They survive by being willing to do what others can’t or won’t. Her trust in and loyalty towards Joel runs deep. However, secretly, she questions whether Joel shares the same emotions that she feels for him.”
