Rebelling against the clan ideals her ancestors had taken to adopting Hyur traditions and had won the titles of Lord and Lady in battle. However, unlike her class-obsessed, ambitious parents Thea had no desire to act like a lady. She found the rituals and rules of upperclass living dull and restrictive, so at the age of 19 she enrolled in the Botanist Guild in Gridania. She trained for two years under the careful tutelage of Fufucha and became a gifted, dedicated botanist in her own right. Upon completing her training, she was assigned to an outpost in South Shroud where she tended small crops of medicinal herbs and plants and treated minor injuries and scrapes. However, due to her kind and generous nature she often found herself dealing with serious illnesses and injuries. Sensing the strain this was putting on Thea, Fufucha gave her a new assignment, to go to Thanalan and provide sample and studies of the desert plants found in the region. Thea, bound by loyalty and duty took the role, despite being fearful and homesick for the forests she has always know and made her way to Ul'dah. Personality Thea is a quiet, gentle girl who likes solitude and simplicity. She will often spend days wandering around the forests, her only company the plants and animals that surround her. She has a close connection to nature and finds spirituality in walking in the woodland. She's a rebel in the most quiet way possible, she refuses to adapt her lifestyle to meet the expectations of her wealthy parents who think that her only value is beautiful, sweetness and ladylike behaviour. But, this fact often plays on her mind as she feels she has disappointed them. Thea is a pacifist, and dislikes fighting of any kind. She believes that most conflicts can be resolved with words or coin rather than blows. She is always generous and helpful, offering her skills in medicinal plants and wayfaring through the woods to any that ask. her sweet, but naive nature leaves her open to be exploited in her kindness. Thea is almost childlike in her mannerisms and speech, with a purity that seems at odds with the bustling city of Ul'dah. She finds the city to be too busy, loud and dusty and is currently incredibly unhappy with her situation. She tries to stay positive, but is beginning to let her homesickness for the Shroud overcome her.
