Character Name: Theodora
Series: Tales of Berseria
Canon Point: Pre-Game, before she falls and turns dragon
Summary/History:
Unfortunately, by the time the gameplay takes place, Theodora has already become a dragon. However! I’ve included what I can of a joined headcanon, as well as links to some of the major events that would have affected her in her earlier years pre-game in a rough timeline:

-Unknown period of time. While she only looks like she’s in her late 20s, Teo is definitely hundreds of years old- potentially a little over 1000.
-Met Zaveid and they became friends and then a couple- it’s a rather lengthy, drawn out story that she would love to tell in-game to anyone who will listen.
-Has her own home between Taliesin and Aball, off in the woods- a tidy, modest cottage. Eventually allows Zaveid to ‘move in’ with her.
-Survived the Opening and Advent with their own minds! Huzzah!
-Discovered they can help humans against daemons and be seen and thus help human orphans! (After Advent)
-Rescue some human children from daemons and decide to take them under their windy wings.
-Moved to live in a larger home in Taliesin better suited to their new family: Zaveid and a few human orphans...and a couple Zaveid kidnapped (Gj there zaveid) because they couldn’t feed the kids properly- what is healthy food? Sweets don’t count??
-Zaveid leaves for a quick trip and is captured by the Abbey. Teo is unsure of what's happened to him.
-Turns into a dragon and it sucks for everyone- likely because of the malevolence cause by the children’s bad experiences- potentially because Zaveid’s disappearance shakes their sense of stability.

Personality:

Gentle as a Spring Breeze
While her boyfriend may be all ‘rough and tumble’, Theodora is almost a perfect contrast. In game, she is described as ‘gentle as a spring breeze’. She’s calm, cool, and collected- very slow to anger and open to understanding. While she’s definitely an emotional (not so young) woman, she doesn’t let it stand in the way of reason; she’s very good at finding a middle ground or compromise.

She’s so kind! There rarely comes a time when she finds someone that doesn’t immediately fall for her friendship. She won’t go out of her way to flirt- really, sexy isn’t in her own vocabulary (blushblushblush)- but everyone is greeted with a smile and the promise of a gentle touch. She’s not terribly shy, but she’s definitely quieter/more modest than some. She has very simple tastes, and can find beauty in almost everything.


Theodora is also exceptionally kind and compassionate, all too willing to search out the good in (and for) others. She’s not at all quick to write people off (most of the time), though she’s all too aware of her limits and doesn’t exactly allow herself be walked on. She’s definitely more hesitant when it comes to the Abbey, given what she’s heard on the wind, but she’s also a little more sheltered than she would like to admit.

Quiet Steel
While she’s certainly not one to instigate a fight, Theodora can definitely hold her own, especially when one of her circle is threatened. She’s able to tolerate quite a lot, but she can absolutely be stern and kick a little ass when needed. She’s got a strong enough backbone to make it on her own all those years… and to keep the children (and Zaveid) in line up until she becomes a dragon.

Mom/big sis type
When she realized she (along with the other Malakhim/Seraphim) could be seen, she was absolutely overjoyed, given the means to interact with the children of the towns she passed through. When able, she (with Zaveid) took a few children into their care. -Theo loved children, and when they were scared, she held their hands-- they knew they were safe. She is also known to have allowed them to sleep in her bed with her when they were frightened at night.

While she’s rather graceful on her own, she’s absolutely not above making herself look ridiculous or going well out of her way to put a smile on a child’s face. It should also be noted that while she doesn’t have an actual need for food, she a fairly decent baker and always has some form of sweet on hand for the children. (Unfortunately, sweets can’t keep kiddos healthy for very long, which is why she and Zaveid find humans to take care of the kids as well).

She has a definite soft spot for grape mille-feuilles… she’s pitiful at making them right, though.

Extremely Adventurous, Bright Eyed and Bushy Haired
There aren’t many opportunities that Theodora will outright turn down. She sees every move as some form of destiny taking shape, and each experience as a tool that shapes her path and the path of those around her. She longs to travel, even though she’s also very fond of her home base, just wanting to see what else the world has to offer.

Theo somehow always finds the beauty in the world, is often able to show others ‘the little things’ and find ways to use them to lead others to happiness. She loves, loves, LOVES life-it’s just one big adventure. How could it not be just thrilling when there’s so much out there? There’s no sense in wasting a single day!

Passionate
Zaveid himself says that she loves more deeply than anyone he had ever known. She will do absolutely anything for those she loves, be it a simple task or a motion entirely at her own expense. She puts all of herself into everything she sets out to accomplish.

While she’s bright and happy and giving, she’s not afraid to reflect on much deeper matters. Heavy topics do not scare her- in fact, they intrigue her and she’s more than willing to work through them bit by bit, especially if it’s to help someone else through their struggles.



Powers/Abilities:
Theodora is a wind malak (seraph), meaning she’s a wind elemental and can become/control the wind. She also will not die of old age, though she can become a drake/dragon (and have to be put down) or be killed in battle. Because of her wind alignment, she is resistant to earth and weak to fire attacks.

-Blessings- if given enough love, she is able to bless those around her.

-Fights with fans! (Tessenjutsu) She uses bladed fans to manipulate the wind around her in a much more powerful way, though she is capable of using the wind without the fans and can definitely use the fans without her wind.

-Aikido style fighting (defense to offense) when hand to hand, though she prefers long range attacks with her wind spells and fans.

-Extremely fast and agile- she weighs little to nothing because she is Wind and can move from spot to spot before you can say ‘breeze’.

-Wind step/rush- she’s totally able to become the wind. Now you see her (maybe) now you don’t, until poof! She’s basically teleported to another spot.

-healing circle- is a common field-based healing spell that heals all party members within a moderate-sized area of effect. The spell usually heals a moderate amount of HP at a gradual rate. They stay in the circle, they heal. They move away, they stop healing.

-read the wind- You just thought you could keep secrets. Like other windies in the Tales series, Theodora is able to use the wind to extend nearly all of her senses: smell, sight, hearing.

-She’s… pretty much invisible to everyone again… Without strong resonance (or one of those fancy bracelets), she might be felt when bumped into or if she reaches out to touch, but she can’t be seen. Near death experiences can fix that right up, though! For more information, please reference Zaveid-mun’s post here .

-She probably has a true name that can be used to control her, but good luck ever getting that out of her or her friends….
