## Overview

### Appearance

Born in 2038 which is after Evelyn Aria (Kyoko) gained her nanomachine augment from the serum **NMS-XPT**. Theresa is naturally born with a white hair unlike her mother, she had yellow eyes like her mother which some can mistake her as a Husk, unlike her parents however she seems to have palish skin which might causes by her mother's serum. She wears black-themed attire contrast to her hair and skin color, underneath her clothing is **BSTT-440 bodysuit** which allows her to control Solarium flows to great extent. The bodysuit is still visible one certain gaps of her clothing however, most notably her hands, in which her right hand is completely cybernetic with Solarium-powered grappling hook attached.

However, once she takes off the attire and uses the bodysuit full power, her eyes became bright glowing red, certain bodysuit part like the back skirt, neck guard, shoulder guard and the head-mounted amplifier made manifest using Solarium energy, gives more mechanoid appearance.

She also seems to wear a necklace over her bodysuit, which is concealed by her clothing, the necklace seems to be modelled after a dog tag and within it, a photo of her younger self and her mother Evelyn Aria can be seen.

Due to the influence of the NMS-XPT, her physical appearance won't be exceeding late 20s regardless of her age, as well as expanded lifespan.

In the 3rd arc, she no longer wears the bodysuit and wearing more black-themed attire in addition. She seems to use the same jacket and had more internal cyberization upgrade which allows her to use the same ability the bodysuit provides without it, but she kept the comm amplifier for remote weapon control, deem it 'too much' for her internal cyberization.

### Personality

She mostly displays a cold demeanor, speaks only a few words. Despite her age she appears to be very matured due to environment she's living in. Regardless she constantly shown a breakdown due to trauma and her inner conflict. She seems to enjoy quiet place and heavily dislike loud noises, as she claimed the silent soothes her mind. Despite deemed cold and calculated by others, Theresa seems to have deep remorse to strangers even to her foes which might cause by her relating her trauma to others, perhaps try to understand them, this brings many displease toward her comrades in The Devulperist due to her hesitant to kill civilians. She extremely dislikes the mockery especially towards her and her family and are willingly to turn on them, either by pulling the string, manipulating or directly antagonizing them.

It was claimed by Walter that if not for her trauma, she would be grown up as a kind-hearted person as that trait still exist even to this day. Although disturbingly, it is also noted by Walter that deep down Theresa loves killing and has a high bloodlust, probably gained from her mother.

As of 3rd Arc, Theresa has become more competent with her duty as she also became role figure to many within Blanc Syndicate as well as the federation itself. She still has tendency to loafing around on her own but otherwise successfully carry out operations time to time for years since Blanc Syndicate formation. She also piques an interest to the captured Project Empress Souroid, noting that they are 'special' amongst other Souroids.

### Weapons and Abilities

* **Natural-born** **NMS-XPT**: Theresa is naturally born with an innate power of the NMS-XPT gained from her mother, this allows her to perform supernatural ability by default, includes superhuman strength, agility, keen sense, self-healing regeneration (slower than Gymir's) as well as allows her to perform a blink dash like Vulpina's Luminosiumic Art.
* **Cybernetic Modification**: Some parts of her body are modified with cyberizations, the only external mod is her right hand while the rest are internal mod, give her even more strength as well as make her compatible with certain gears she equipped with, this includes the piloting of her personal ARMUS where she can link her cyberization to the mech for better control. As of 3rd arc, she made an upgrade to import the BSTT-440 ability onto herself as an innate ability, however she still relies on the comm amplifier to control the remote weapon.
* **SPSX-TA "Memento"**: Customized Solarium-powered sword, when using bodysuit full power she can summon the sword with Solarium energy, the sword is normally kept inside the left side of her jacket. The sword was then upgraded to SPSX-TAII "Evelyn" sometime later.
* **SPSX-TAII "Evelyn"**: New sword Theresa uses in the 3rd arc. Named after her mother and her former alias, Evelyn is a new Solarium-energized sword create from data of predecessor SPS series as well as data of the Vulpina's VCQA series, it uses the same core and some material from Memento, implies that this sword is a direct upgrade from the latter.
* **SFA57 Pistol**: A standard-issue Solarium pistol, she kept the pistol inside the right side of her jacket which implies she uses the gun with left hand, she carries 2 magazines with her, she changes to SFA57MKIII in 3rd arc.
* **ABP-207 AR**: She uses this AR in the 3rd Arc as her main standard weapon, her gun features an attachment ACOG sight, vertical grip, barrel stabilizer, as well as a distinctive high-end barrel and stock. She appears to use the premium ammunition called 'disruptor round' which can pierce energy shield easier than standard round.
* **Remote Weapon SHG-404X "Salvatore"**: A remote weapon Theresa can use when using the bodysuit full power, she controls the weapon via the comm amplifier on left side of her head.
* **BSTT-440**: A bodysuit enhancing Theresa's overall power, allows her to use the remote weapon, allows her to summon the weapon out like Vulpina's as well as generate an energy shield protecting her. Theresa's eyes will also glow red when she activates the suit power. She no longer uses the suit as of 3rd arc due to new cyberization.
* **Pseudo Luminosiumic Art**: Theresa can imitate specific luminosiumic art that she used to study from The Archive when she was young, but since she has no luminosium sensitivity, the cyberization is required for her to be able to mimic these 'lost arts'. She can only imitate more basic skills.
