Thea

"I’m the laughingstock of this story. A comedy relief. A character people just feel bad for because of how insignificant they are. Except now, I follow my own path. Also I no longer have to be forced to use proper grammar every time I open my mouth."

Theodora "Thea" Rose Lalonde is a 17-year-old girl, and one of the sixteen major characters staying at the Your Time to Shine hotel. She is the wife of  Mega and Ted's sibling/female counterpart.

Appearance
Thea's outfits all follow a blue, black, and white motif. She wears a black cropped T-shirt, a silver rose necklace around her neck, black shoes, and grey sport pants with a white stripe on each side. Thea wears a ponytail tied by a blue ribbon with white stripes. She is often seen with casual and light clothing that reflect her carefree demeanor.

Personality
Thea, as shown in the game, is on the opposite side of the emotional spectrum as Ted. She is often courageous and upbeat, and is especially cheerful around the presence of Thomas. To almost all of her fellow hotel members (save for Ted), she shares her outgoing and welcoming values despite any differences in affection they may have towards each other. Thea can also be quite air-headed and forgetful, and her cheerful personality can quickly be shattered thanks to her fragile emotions. She is quick to jump to conclusions and is easily manipulated by the more aggressive and mysterious characters. She is considered to be very athletic, proficient in thievery and infiltration skills that she benefits from thanks to her confident attitude.

Mega
Thea considers Thomas the most important person to her, describing herself as being "nothing without him". She is heavily reliant on his input and considers him her "Meggy Weggy", which he is seen not to mind. When no one else does, she acknowledges his input and goes through great lengths to make sure that he is the happiest she can make him, despite his mostly apathetic personality.

Ted
Ironically being the closest to Ted both biologically and emotionally, Thea seems to share the same revulsion that Ted does for her. As both were once considered to be one and the same, Ted and Thea are shown to have near opposite personalities to one another, with various reflecting feelings. Despite their spiritual separation, Ted and Thea still recognize their sibling rivalry, and almost poke fun at it from time to time.

Zom
In the early stages of Thea becoming her own being, Thea was shown to be passionately affectionate towards Zom thanks to his masculine attitude. She mentioned dissatisfaction with her sex life during the early days of her marriage, and considered Zom someone who could very well fulfill her needs. This was later revealed to be part of her plan however, mentioning to Thomas how her attraction towards Zom was all for the joke.

Dottie
Much like Ted, Thea shares the same feeling of respect towards Dottie. Despite being born from emotions rather than biologically, she still considers Dottie her mother in the same way she considers Ted her brother. Dottie is also one of the few members of the YTTS hotel that is shown to return her respect for her.
