**Theoda** and **Pothina** are first pictured in the episode Wednesday and then introduced as characters in School Break. They are the mothers of Akila. They are scholars at the Savior Institute and they study Cleo, the prophecy of her to be exact, meaning that both are adoring of Cleo. Reportedly they have been studying the prophecy since Vevoson was conquered in the blight, according to Theoda. For her part, Pothina, said it was "legit rad" to put a face to the prophecy they had been studying, while adding that Octavian was a "major buzz kill" and that it would be "mad helpful" to ask Cleo some questions.

## Personality

**Theoda** and **Pothina** are loving of each other and their daughter. They are kind to Akila and her friends. They like to smile and be proud of their daughter. Pothina calls herself a "cool mom" who is "baller." Both of them like to hug Akila, who they call Kiki, commenting, "all aboard the hug train!" Additionally, Pothina finds Cleo's pet, Mihos as adorable. Both of them have scholarly interests. They like using dated social expressions like "rad," "yas queen," and "baller," although Pothina uses these expressions a lot more than Theoda.

## Appearance

They somewhat resemble the appearance of Akila, as they are a bit fish-like. **Theoda** has dark red hair with gold earrings, robin's egg blue eyes with white crosses in the middle, light-blue skin with purple highlights, and burgandy lips. She also has a two toned t-shirt, lighter on the top, and darker on the bottom, two pieces of gold jewelry on each of her arms, and bluish pants. **Pothina** has a dark blue mohawk on top of brown hair, neon green eyes with white crosses in the middle, light blue skin with darker blue highlights, and dark blue lips. Additionally, she is wearing a short-sleeved brown shawl with dark yellow cuffs, a black t-shirt with a diamond shape in the middle (a gold diamond surrounding a pink diamond), maroon pants, and a piece of orange jewelry on each of her wrists. They are both wearing boots, each with their own color tones.

## Relationships

### Akila

Theoda and Pothina are very supportive of their daughter and are friendly to Cleo. As Pothina tells Akila, she is the "most important thing in the world to them," with Pothina adding that they love her "more than anything." When Akila asks why they only care about Cleo, Pothina clarifies they care about Cleo because they care about the prophecy as a way to defeat Octavian, so they can finally go home together as a family. Theoda says they'd do anything for Akila, including "getting eaten by a snake," as Pothina adds afterwards.
