Thea is a female Omega of the *Aspenians* pack.Thea is a reddish brown wolf with flame orange eyes. Her ears are torn and crimped along the edges, and her body harbors many scars, many of which are the burn scars that lace her legs and underside she got during a forest fire long ago. After Aspen burns down, she wears a radio collar.

## **Backstory**

**Before becoming an Aspenian:**

Thea was born to a pair of dispersals, Adono and Tehitiri, with her two brothers Carver and Askan. They lived near Amethyst Mountain peacefully as a small family pack.

One day, around Thea's sixth month of age, fire was set to the woodlands that Thea's family had lived in. Thea was with her mother and siblings when they were caught in the fire, and watched in horror as the flames swallowed up her brother's. Her mother urged her to run, but Thea was too afraid to move. Then, a tree began to fall and Thea's mother lunged to push her out of the way. The watched as the tree crushed her mother in horror before she finally snapped out of it and ran. She didn't get out unscathed, as this left her littered with burn scars and permanent damage to her voice and throat.

Thea wasn't sure what happened to her father, but she assumed he had died in the fire.

**Becoming an Aspenian:**

Thea had barley survived on small prey and scraps for nearly 6 months, almost starving to death before she was found and taken in by the Aspenian alphas Palace and Celene. By then, Thea had already began to think of herself as worthless and was more than honored to be allowed among the pack.

As an Aspenian, Thea took on the roll of Omega, and her primary duty was to look after the den and pups while their parents were out hunting and patrolling. Even when offered a rank higher than this, Thea refused because she believed she was not worthy or could perform the duties of a more important role due to how she grew up since she never fully recovered from the fire or starvation.

**Abduction:**

During the fire that took out the Aspenian's home territory, Thea had been abducted by humans. She hardly remembered what happened while they had her since they kept her in a drug induced haze the whole time. When she did become fully conscious again, she was wearing a radio collar and was met with the sight of the destroyed forest.

Such a sight caused her to remember the past fire vividly and made Thea go into shock before she ran through the ashes and charred remains of the woodlands to see if the Aspenian's had escaped or had perished in the blaze. Doing this, Thea's paws ended up being badly burned by the hot embers that remained. Nevertheless Thea forced herself to look for the pack, eventually heading to where she thought they went. She was forced to stop, however, when the pain in her paws became too much to bear, and she had to desperately call out for her pack. Luckily, she was the heard by Palace and Celene who came to her, and she passed out just as they got there.

When Thea came to, she was in the cliffs surrounded by her packmates.

**Lost River:**

After the home of the Aspenians burned to the ground, Thea moved to Lost River along with the rest of her pack. On the way there, through Amethyst Mountain, they passed the burned forest that Thea used to live in as a pup. One night on the way through, Thea snuck away from the pack and into the burned forest, morbid curiosity getting the better of her. In the woods, she found the little remains of her mother, and sibling, which she buried in their den. However, it offered little closure for her, the ordeal bringing the memories of the fire back to the forefront of her already weary mind and harassing her with nightmares when she tried to sleep. These nightmares stayed with her even long after they left Amethyst and made it to Lost River.

At Lost River, shortly after the pack claimed new territory, a lone male named Ivar came snooping around the Aspenians, getting the attention of Thea, who at first was very annoyed by the way he acted around her and by the fact that he didn't do the smart thing and just avoid the pack. Wherever Thea was, Ivar seemed to follow, flirting and screwing off. However, Thea came to just ignore this stupidity and rather began to fall for the loner, as he was there for her after one of her nightmares, showing her that he actually understood her and was more similar to her than any of her packmates. Thea tried to shun these feeling, though, as she knew her pack was her family and she couldn't just leave them for a loner. This got her into an argument with Ivar, and her to tell Palace and King that she wasn't going to see him anymore.

Unfortunately, these words came to mean nothing. Palace was shot and then killed, leaving Thea in a fragile state of mind, having seen another parental and important figure in her life die once more. Thea ran from the pack, only to be found by Ivar. In her fragile state, believing that the pack would now fall apart without Palace, Thea agreed to be the loner's mate. However, this short lived, as Reinhardt and Phoenix came to end the loner's life the next day, as, unbeknownst to Thea, Ivar had murdered Palace, the bullet having not killed the fallen alpha.

After Ivar's death, Thea returned to the pack, but with unease. She received scoldings from Reinhardt and Phoenix and began to feel unwanted in the pack, being accused of being the cause of Palace's death and with King and Eri hardly able to even look at her. Thea began to feel awful about herself and wanted nothing more than to just be dead, but life wouldn't even give her that, instead leaving her to suffer with everything that happened.

The Aspenians eventually decided that they needed to return to Slough, and Thea followed them despite her feelings and unease about her future.

## Personality

Thea seems to have a rough, snarky exterior and has no issues with saying what she thinks. Backlash seemingly has no effect on her and she'd much rather get into a fight rather than let something go. She tends to swear a lot when she gets mad. Deeper down, Thea has a major soft spot for her pack which she has come to accept as her family and would do anything for them, even if they try to drive her nuts in the process. On the deepest level, Thea is a very broken wolf haunted by the memories of her past. The memories push her to want to do good and be selfless, but they also hold her back by making her bitter and distrusting, even going as far to believe that she doesn't deserve the better things in life. This all stems from survivor's guilt.
