Body Features
Her skin is a rich burgundy, and her eyes are jet black. She has several thin scars, most of which seem to have heeled well. Her hair is dark, and messily cut.
Facial Features
She has thin brows and prominent cheekbones. Her face is perpetually split by a crooked, mean spirited, smile.
Identifying Characteristics
She has a trace work of black and grey tattoos running up her arms that resemble some sort of diagram of Everfall's world systems. She also has tattoos along her shoulder blades in the same style that form the shape of feathered wings.
Physical quirks
Her smile is fixed, it shows her anger, and her cocky self assuredness, but it hides much much more.

Apparel & Accessories
Theria wears an outfit very reminiscent of a gentleman's suit, though it is tighter in some areas, and sports a much lower neckline.

Mental characteristics
Personal history
Theria was raised in an orphanage alongside her older sister Nara. When her older sister was adopted by the lord and lady of house Coldbrand (who were unable to have children of their own) the young Theria was left to fend for herself.
When it became clear to Theria that, unlike her sister, she wasn't going to be whisked off to a life of luxury in a manor somewhere, she ran away from the orphanage. She came to regret that decision, but it made her thoug, and flexible, like steel tempered by the fire.
Though the two sisters do make intermittent contact, Theria and Nara mostly ignore eachother.

Thedric is one of the few who knows about Theria's sister Nara, and her time in the orphanage. Theria let him in a very emotionally charged moment, but she is no longer sure about the wisdom of that decision. She is afraid he will let her secret slip, or use it against her. He hasn't yet.
