### Beruf

Vertreter der Joseph-Margravine-Foundation in den USA

**Theodore Nicholas Margravine-Jensen** (alias 'Theo') is the second born son of Julianna Shadwell and Richard Margravine. He was born in the St Mary's Hospital in London on the 22nd of October 1999. He has an older brother, Joseph Margravine, who passed away due to suicide when Theo was thirteen years old and a younger brother, Jacob, who is three years younger than him.

Theodore eventually gets married to Audrey Li Joanna Jensen and takes on her last name as well. It is revealed later on that he's later father to a daughter, Ai Ayla Margravine-Jensen, whose name is a mixture representing her quarter-chinese descent from her mother's side, and quarter-latin-american descent from her father.

Theodore studies "Psychological and Behavioural Sciences" at the University of Cambridge. He does not proceed to do a master's degree, but takes on an internship at the Royal Albert Psychiatric House in Notting Hill, where he works while finishing his undergraduate degree. He eventually leaves the clinic to work at his old school, the Queen Victoria Academy, as a psychological counsellor. In order to reconcile with Audrey, he eventually leaves London to live with her in New York, where he is responsible for the American branch of his mother's new-founded "Joseph Margarvine Foundation", which is determined to install excellent psychological support at all schools worldwide as well as a psychological education for all pupils.

### Family

##### Joseph Margravine

Theodore was close with his brother Joseph, who supported him and loved him for who he was. It hurt Theodore badly that he took his life, specifically because he felt responsible for it. Over time, Theodore learns that it wasn't his fault and instead dedicates his time to provide help and means to those in need for help. He is finally able to let his brother go when he realises that by taking on all the burden, he never gave his little brother the chance to step up and take charge of the situation himself.

##### Jacob Margravine

Jacob and Theodore are very similar in some ways, but very distinct in others. Theodore is convinced, that Jacob preferred Joseph, as they had the same interests, but Jacob and him still have a very good relationship. Steven Smith once mentions that Theodore is able to influence Jacob positively, and also Theodore is aware of the fact that Jacob might pick on him, but he looks up to him nonetheless. They rarely fight and have overall a very stable and loving relationship.

##### Julianna Shadwell

Theodore shares a better relationship with his mother than with his father. While he loves both of them, it's his mother who really understands him and takes more time trying to do so. She supports him without ever considering her own interests and just wants him to be happy. Theodore mentions that she indeed knows him better than he knows himself.

##### Richard Margravine

The relationship between Richard and Joseph has been strained, and the same can be said for Theodore. Richard wishes for his children to continue his legacy and has to accept that none of them will. Jacob is never really expected to, but Theodore and Joseph both have struggles to find their own way, as their father has always slightly pushed them. Richard still loves his children, however, and he would do about anything to save his family.

### Relationships

##### Audrey Li Joanna Margravine-Jensen

###### *"From Venus' point of view, none of this matters."*

Audrey has been in love with Theodore since they met in third grade. She fell in love with him despite the fact that he treated her badly, as she was sure there was a soft core behind his arrogant and rich behaviour. She always tried to pester him, but he denied all of her advances, pretending like he didn't know she was into him. One time she tried to console him after getting a bad grade on a science project, but while she went to get ice cream, he left the school with his best friend Steven.

When they went to boarding school, Audrey decided she wants to talk to Theodore about her feelings, but the death of his brother made her retreat. When she realised months later that know was a better time, Amelie Richardson joined their year and Theodore fell in love with her. Audrey later says that she only ever regarded Amelie as competition, but none of the other people Theodore dated, as she was sure he never loved them, but Amelie was his first love. She got into a fight with Theodore about her treatment of Amelie in ninth grade, which made Theodore despise her indefintely, even though she eventually made peace with Amelie - who never told Theodore about her conversation with Audrey, though.

However, Audrey was Theodore's first kiss. A friend of hers manipulated a game of "Spin the bottle", so it landed on her instead of Amelie. Theodore went on to forget about it and only remembers it years later over a drinking game.

Theodore doesn't really see Audrey until the last two weeks of their time at school. They are both headboy and -girl and hence have to oversee the introduction weeks of the new pupils. During their time together, Theodore begins to develop feelings for her, as he realises that there are many things he didn't know about her. He also finally learns that Audrey apologised to Amelie and that the two girls were at peace, even though not friends. It dawns on him that his view of Audrey was not accurate and that there's way more beneath the surface.

Audrey, however, tells him immediately that she is not interested in pursuing him anymore. She wants him to promise her that he won't make any advances, as she'll be leaving to study at Princeton and she doesn't want her heart to be stuck in London. Theodore hesistantly agrees, knowing full well he's lying to himself.

When their time at school is over, Theodore visits Audrey at her parents house and meets her family. He's visibly nervous and thrilled and they meet again afterwards, when Audrey visits him at home in Bayswater. They bake together and eventually share their favourite places in London, which leads them to visit Primrose Hill. This is where they first kiss. They sleep together that night, but Audrey still doesn't want to date him. She's willing to come to his family dinner, but she's clearly nervous about what others might think of them.

Before dinner, Theodore takes her to Greenwich Park, where they visit the Royal Observatory. He teaches Audrey about the coordinates, explaining to her that they are standing on the prime meridian, from which the world opens itself up into different timezones. Audrey briefly kisses him, the first time in public, proclaiming this is the perfect place for their new beginning.

When they come home, his mother tells him that Amelie is waiting for him in the garden. While Audrey stays behind, she still sees the truth about Amelies and Theodores relationship play out, when Mani storms the house and pushes him into the pool, telling everyone that he slept with Amelie while she was still dating Mani. Theodore hits his head and breaks his leg in the process, when he stumbles over a sunlounger and falls into the pool. He wakes up in an ambulance.

Theodore doesn't see Audrey and doesn't hear from her in days. While she doesn't block him when he sends her pictures of the stars each night, she also never replies. Eventually, as it is driving him insane, he goes to talk to her best friend Hannah, who reluctantly agrees to help him.

Theodore, for the first time since Josephs death, pushes his modesty aside and rents out the planetarium of the Royal Observatory. There he explains to Audrey, who's not fond of listening to him, that he's falling in love with her. He explains his feelings with the use of the stars, saying that Venus is the planet of love and that from Venus' point of you, none of it matters anyways, as earthly problems are way too far away. Audrey eventually gives in, even though she's still unsure about them officially dating. They spent the night together but part without talking things through.

At graduation, which is the following day, Theodore gives a speech which Audrey is deeply touched by. She eventually finds him on the dancefloor and kisses him infront of everyone, telling him she's willing to give them a chance.

###### *"I don't do love."*

In the second book, it is briefly mentioned that Theodore and Audrey are having a hard time being separated. She does come home for Christmas, however, and spends time with him and his family at their yearly gathering.

###### *"I'd really rather you were somewhere else."*

When Jennifer Hayes visits the Margarvine family on Christmas eve, she realises that Theodore is distraught. Jacob later explains to her that he was hoping to find Audrey at the doorbell, not her, as she declined to come home for Christmas, which hurt Theodore badly. Jennifer later meets both Theodore and Audrey when they come to the school in order to help the students on career guidance day, and when she comes back to the classroom as she lost her pen, she overhears them breaking up for good. Audrey doesn't want to move back to London and Theodore doesn't want to leave his family behind, which is why they see no other choice but to part ways.

###### *"I've always been a little different."*

Even though Theodore dates a girl from Oxford college, it is hinted that he's very much still in love with Audrey. He later learns she'll be coming back to London for a year, as she got an internship at Georgina Smith's office. When he meets her at the opening ceremony of his father's new skyscraper in Canary Wharf, he's nervous and smitten, but soon crushed when he realises she only picked London because her boyfriend wanted to do a year abroad there. Theodore is left heartbroken by this relevation and doesn't date anyone again, as he realises how madly in love he still is with his ex-girlfriend.

###### *"Nothing stayed quite the way we thought."*

Even though Audrey moved back with her boyfriend Theodore tries to stay friendly with her. He invites her to his birthday party and while Quentin, her fiancé, goes to pick up their coats, they have a small conversation. Afterwards he's strongly convinced that Audrey still loves him, but he also realises that she loves Quentin, too.

They begin to run into each other every now and then. Eventually, Audrey accompanies the junior's trip to New York, as a shaparone together with Theodore and Ryan Johannson. They share some sweet moments and also visit Audrey's grandparents whom Theodore knows well from the time they were dating. He realises how much Audrey loves New York and that it would be selfish to force her to give that up.

Audrey gets invited to Joseph Margravine's memorial ceremony, which honours his tenth death day and also introduces the Joseph Margravine Foundation. She doesn't bring her boyfriend along, but leaves the service early as she beliefs Amelie Richardson was invited by Theodore, especially since she is sitting next to him and his family. Theodore realises too late that she's gone and is crushed. Amelie was actually invited by Steven Smith, who fell in love with her. She actually sat next to his family, which merely sat next to Theodore's.

When Theodore leaves the service early, he goes to pick up his coat and finds a letter from Audrey in his pocket. It's dated a day after they initially broke up and shows how much she regretted taking that step. In the letter, she offered him that she'd stay in a long-distance-relationship forever if it meant being with him. After reading the letter, Theodore decides he's ready to leave London and be with her and texts her on the way home.

When he arrives in his old bedroom, he is met by his brother Jacob, who breaks down and cries. He's sad about their brother's death, but also deeply troubled by his falling out with Katie, her abortion and the public drama it ensued. He doesn't know where his place is and Theodore deletes his message to Audrey, as he feels he has to stay with his family.

Theodore later finds out it was Mani who knew about the letter and told Steven to hide it. He eventually sent it back to Audrey, unanswered by Theodore. Theodore and Mani have a fallout over this, with Mani telling him Audrey was never good enough and he should opt for someone else. But Theodore believes Mani simply couldn't handle that Theodore would get everything he ever wanted and not him.

###### *"Forever is pretty long, isn't it?"*

When Quentin leaves for New York, Audrey stays behind, as her internship lasts for a year. Theodore soon learns that she's now engaged to Quentin, which breaks his heart. However, he meets Audrey on Primrose Hill in the spring, and they spent a day together in town, which makes both of them realise how much they've grown. Similar to back in the day, Theodore realises that his problems seem small when he's with Audrey, and that with her by his side, he could conquer anything. Yet, he beliefs it to be immoral to tell her that when she's engaged to someone else.

Audrey does a very impressive job in the parliament working for Georgina Smith, which suggests the idea that she might would want to work for the American branch of the Joseph Margravine Foundation. As she does have a very good relationship with Theodore's mother Julianna, she is asked if she'd like to be an advocate for the cause and agrees to do so. She then has a conversation with Theodore about the fact that she doesn't agree with all of the States' values, but that specifically situations like these give her the feeling that she's able to change something.

Theodore more and more gets the feeling like he made a mistake. He also feels like he's having troubles with his job as he's too close to the school and the students to stay objectively. During the first open day at the Queen Victoria Academy, Theodore gets into a fight with Mani over Stevens relationship with Amelie, and eventually also mentions that he still loves Audrey and wants to be with her. Audrey overhears this and leaves the premises immediately. It is Katie who gives Theodore the final push minutes later. She realised that many of Jacob's troubles stem from the fact that Theodore always tried to solve them for him and never gave him the chance to step into Joseph's foodsteps instead of himself. Jacob never learnt to find his own way, as he never got the chance to take care of his family, since that was always Theodore's job. Katie tells him to leave, to find Audrey and propose to her, so they can finally be together. She gives him her grandmother's ring, telling Theodore they're basically family anyways, which is a very sweet moment between them. Theodore leaves to find Audrey and he finds her in Greenwich Park. Audrey tells him that she now understands what he meant when he said, five years earlier, that he still likes Amelie, but would choose Audrey over her each day. She tell him she feels the same about him and Quentin and that she realised she'd always choose Theodore, no matter what.

They eventually get married at St Paul's Cathedral in June of the same year, which is possible due to Julianna Shadwell's status as Member of the British Empire. Their wedding attracts a high public interest and more than 300 guests are invited. The wedding celebration is kept rather private and is held at the dining hall of the Queen Victoria Academy.

In the book series "Tayette", which plays a few years after the events of the Queen Victoria Academy series, it is revealed that they have welcomed a daughter, Ai Ayla, into the world.

##### Amelie Ellie Richardson

###### *"From Venus point of you, none of this matters."*

Theodore met Amelie at her first day at school, when she joined the Queen Victoria Academy in their eighth year. He is immediately smitten by her and especially her mysterious attitude. They become close friends as Theodore enjoys being with someone who doesn't know anything but his family and just treats him normally. Eventually, though, they also bond over their family trauma.

Mani, who is Theodore's best friend, quickly finds a liking to Amelie and Theodore is aware of it. Even though the chance presented itself, he never pursues her and lets Mani get the girl instead. Due to various circumstances and misunderstandings, Theodore is convinced that Amelie wouldn't have chosen him anyways.

When Amelie gets bullied, Theodore stands up for her. He tries to resolve the situation by putting Audrey in her place, who dislikes Amelie due to her connection to Theodore.

Even though Theodore dates different people over the years, he's always liked Amelie. She begins dating his best friend in their tenth year at school, which breaks Theodore's heart. They lose contact and it is not until her birthday in their last year at school that they speak again without Mani present. She invites him to her birthday party in a pub in Slough and Theodore accepts to come.

The same night, Amelie seems to get Theodore drunk, and when they arrive back at school, Mani is off to bed and Theodore and Amelie find themselves alone. She convinces him to join her in the observatory, a room that is supposedly never closed, and there she tells him that she wants him to stay with her. Theodore is reluctant in the beginning, as both of them dated other people at the time, but Amelie manipulates him into staying by saying it'd made her happy. She is very aware of the fact that Theodore can hardly say no. They sleep together, both having their first time, but have a fallout in the morning. Amelie is distraught about what she had done, and Theodore believes she is still in love with Mani and simply regrets sleeping with him. They part without a real conversation and Theodore is left to pretend like nothing ever happened. He breaks up with his girlfriend Daryna, however, telling her the truth - but she is the only person to know.

Half a year later Amelie suddenly shows up at Theodore's house. She tells him that she broke up with Mani and that he found a letter she had written to Theodore, which she didn't mean to send, and now knows the whole truth about what happened that night. Mani storms the Margravine's house, shoving Theodore into the pull, breaking his leg in the process .

Amelie doesn't visit Theodore in the hospital and he doesn't wait for her, either. By that time, he is already in love with Audrey and mostly thinks about her. Yet, Luke, a common friend of theirs, finds her sitting in front of his hospital room unwilling to go in, and gives Theodore a letter she'd written. Within that letter, Amelie explains all the ways Mani has manipulated their relationship and that he confessed it to Amelie years ago, but no one ever told Theodore. Mani lied about having a date with Amelie, pretended she was interested in him, so she wouldn't date Theodore and he'd leave her alone. She also explains that she knew what to do to make him sleep with her and that she regretted it because she made such a bad person out of him. She begs him to a new start and she still has strong feelings for him, going as far as to say she loves him.

Theodore and Amelie meet a couple of days later when he's out of the hospital. He explains to her that he's over her and they will not have a future together. They share a last kiss and part ways and Amelie goes on to tell Audrey she should forgive Theodore as he really likes her.

###### *"I don't do love."*

Amelie is mentioned at the sidelines, but not in respect to Theodore.

###### *"I'd really rather you were somewhere else."*

Amelie and Theodore both attend the career guidance day, but they barely talk. Jennifer notices some tension between them, but she doesn't know exactly what happened.

###### *"Nothing stayed quite the way we thought."*

In order to help one of his students, Penelope Strout, Theodore invites Amelie to school. He hopes that Amelie can provide Poppy with some career insights and help her get back on track after she was sexually abused by her ex-boyfriend Jackson.

Theodore later finds out over the news that Amelie and Steven have been secretly going out. He quickly realises he doesn't mind it and tells Steven so, but Mani is very angry at both of his friends. Theodore goes to talk to him about it and tells him he's wrong for judging Steven and that him and Amelie haven't dated since school. He defends them, which doesn't affect Mani at all.

Amelie also gets invited to Joseph Margravine's memorial service, but as guest of the Smith family. Steven and her don't yet date publicly due to his mother's political stand, which leads Audrey to suspect Amelie is invited because of Theodore.

###### *"Forever is pretty long, isn't it?"*

Steven and Amelie get invited to Theodore's and Audrey's wedding. Mani refuses to join and the friends officially break apart.
