Théti

Théti's promo picture

**Théti** is the leading female and heroine of the series. Priestess of Isis, she is the princess of Egypt, daughter of Pharaoh Merenre, and royal friend of Papyrus.

## History

In the first episode, Théti was embalmed by Aker's henchmen and left dead as a set up to force her father to abdicate. She is soon saved by Papyrus, and from then on, she goes on various adventures in each episode with Papyrus and friends. She is an heir to the throne.

As the princess of Egypt, Théti speaks for both the Egyptians and the Egyptian gods; it has been shown several times that as a pharaoh's representative, she is truly honoring and is able to rule wisely and fairly.

## Personality

Théti tends to act a bit bossy, short-tempered, stubborn, snobbish, and sassy at times whenever she feels offended, or when someone or something doesn't suit her standards (mostly due to the whims of Papyrus). However, she is a nice person deep down, and Papyrus is one of her best friends.

She is courageous, has a kind heart, is resourceful, and never gives up whenever she is in a difficult situation. Théti is also a good chariot driver and is skilled with bows, to which was most likely taught by her father when she was little.

When it comes to saving anyone or even all of Egypt, she can risk her life without hesitation. Théti loves animals, especially cats, which she takes great care of.

Despite her commonly associated Damsel in Distress title, Théti is capable of defending herself or helping Papyrus when he is in danger or when he does not know what to do. She can sometimes be seen using Papyrus's glaive, but she is not as proficient as him.

## Relationships

### **Papyrus**

Théti’s most prominent relationship. Their adventures consist of pulling each other out of all of Aker's and Seth's traps, strengthening their relationship further and further. Neither of them will admit their feelings to each other, and of course keep it to themselves, despite all of Egypt being aware of it.

Due to their differences Papyrus and Théti often have disputes, and as a result, suffer from many misunderstandings. An example would be Papyrus visiting their friend Tiya, much to Théti’s displeasure. However, in every adventure, it becomes apparent that Théti and Papyrus think of themselves as more than just friends, and it is clear to anyone at first glance that the two are judged.

### **Tiya**

Théti and Tiya share a sister-like relationship. Upon meeting each other in The Anger of the Moon God, Théti showed no signs of jealousy but instead jokes about Papyrus moving fast.

Relatively speaking, Théti does not necessarily hold a personal grudge against Tiya for her liking to Papyrus. However, Tiya’s relationship with him does trigger her jealousy, and as a result, any mention of her name will lead to the assumption that he prefers the Princess of robbers of Thebes over her.

### **Bebo**

Since The Lord of the Crocodiles, Théti and Bebo share a good friendship. Théti acts as an older sister figure to Bebo, and is most likely his second closest friend.

### **Ratoufer**

Similarly to Papyrus, Théti respects Ratoufer and looks up to him. The two seem to have a reasonable bond of trust, considering their important roles and relationship with Papyrus.

## Trivia

* Théti does not have a typical ancient Egyptian name. Her name resembles "Thétis", the French version of the name "Thetis", which is a sea goddess from Greek mythology, one of the Nereids.
* One notable trait of Théti is her catchphrase, which is 'By Isis!' This is exclaimed whenever she is bewildered or annoyed.
* Theti's name was shortened from what it was in the comics where it was "Theti-Cheri." Although the latter was said once in the French dub.
* In contrast, Théti’s comic counterpart has a mother who is alive and lives jointly with Merneptah, Merenre’s comic counterpart.
