Background:
The warmth of a hug and a mother’s kiss on her forehead, her brother’s laughter and her father’s hand on her head. The neighbour’s open house on nights that aren’t christmas, the warm meals given out for free. That’s all love. Love for yourself, love for your neighbours, love for anything and everything.
Theta loves you, as she was loved.
Even as her brother grows older and walks further away, enabled by her parent’s sacrifices.
She still loves.
Despite the silence, despite the distance, despite the absence.
Despite the cooling down of love, the freezing of attitudes, the shattering of hearts.
She still loves, and still believes.
As she runs away on the final summer of high school, as she tracks him down and pleads for him to come home - Mama and Papa are worried about you.
Even as the answer is not what she expected. Even as her own education is cut short, even as she’s left to work, even as her hopes are dashed - I’m sure your brother will come around! He’ll come back and help you with your college fees! Just… wait a little longer, okay? Don’t take a loan on, just be patient, okay? I know you’re not one to be quiet but girls just have to be patient, okay?
She still wants to love and still wants to believe, the same way her parents did in their first-born son.
(Okay Mama, okay Papa.)
(Can I live on my own for a bit? I can do it while I wait.)
So the years go by and she’s still working and working and working in a city all alone to save up (and give it all away - her brother will come around, no?). And as she does, she meets more people like her brother. She sees the world in all its glory and all its cruelty; spitting out nothing but bones after flesh is torn. As her three jobs stop her from running after her own dreams, as she helps her parents with the bills and helps her neighbours with their children and helps the stranger with a hot meal and-
She refuses to give in to cynicism, refuses to be skeptical, refuses to stop holding a hand out the way her brother did.
And so the shadowy figure in the mirror wasn’t on the forefront of her mind; of course she deserved to live.
But… was she right to live a life full of love?
She finds that once a seed of doubt is planted, unlike love, it is nearly impossible to uproot.
Personality:
Excitable | Supportive | Generous
Reckless | Short-sighted | Overbearing
Thrill Seeker | Trusting | Stubborn
Louder than life! Brash and in your face! The life of the party is here!
Theta’s happy and carefree and jovial - and she’s here to share it with you! Her happiness, her love, it’s all on the heart on her sleeve! Your tears, your anger, your sorrow - she’ll take it in, in exchange for a smile! Whatever you need from her, it’s all there for you! You needn’t ask, please make yourself at home!!!
Optimism is her armour, and she won’t hesitate to shield you too.
But her shield is not without cracks, and she’s seen enough to know that humans aren’t perfect. That humans can be greedy and selfish, that human ego can blind, that love is easily lost. And part of her is grounded, her eyes are clear and feet on the ground.
She knows she can be overbearing, she knows she can be mean, she knows she can be reckless -
But for now, she’ll continue to choose love and to choose good.
And she’ll believe you did too.
Over and over and over again, until her love runs dry.
Strengths & Weaknesses:
You can take her everything she’s not going to say anything
Benefit of doubt over and over again
Takes too many risks
Doesn’t account for the future, bites off more than she can chew
Combat: Parkour.
Theta is small and fast! Like a projectile she hurls herself at whatever’s in front of her. Her reach is short, so she tries to get in and out fast. Grab a hold of her and she’s nerfed.
Notes:
Her keys are under the carpet and she has a sign up telling you where to find her keys
