Family:
Aster, a stubborn and bossy Paralogos, though he's much softer with Theia. She considers him her adoptive older sibling and the two are inseparable.

Friends:
Celeste is fairly small for a Paralogos, and engaging in her word focus makes her feel even smaller. She is a bit shy and prefers to watch than engage.

Vela loves to party and celebrate even the little things. Her upbeat attitude helps lift everyone's spirits.

Dr. Kara Stern is extraordinarily smart, disciplined, and hard-working. She treats her fellow bonded Paralogos like work colleagues - friendly, but at arms length. Theia, however, views Kara as a friend and mentor.

Story:
Theia hatched within the sprawling metropolis of Sermos and spent a long time wandering the city streets in search of a place to belong. She was eventually scooped up by the Brookshires, a wealthy family living in the upper echelons of Sermos' society. The daughter, an only child that was spoiled rotten, claimed Theia as her own and held a vice-like grip on the tabula rasa from that day onward.

Initially, Theia was happy to have supposedly found her caretakers and a place to call home, but she soon learned it wasn't the life she wanted. The Brookshires did everything they could to force Theia to pick a word that suited their expensive tastes, in addition to treating her as a servant instead of a companion or even a beloved pet.

While living trapped in the mansion, Theia met Aster, another unformed Paralogos forced into servitude under the wealthy family. She immediately took a liking to him and looked up to him for guidance. Together, the pair concocted an escape plan and snuck off the property when their caretakers were pre-occupied. Although Theia was back to wandering the city streets, she was happy to have a friend with her this time.

Eventually, the pair made their way to Sermos University and happened to attend a free planetarium show. Theia was ecstatic to learn something new, although the both of them were just happy to be sheltered from the weather for a little while. The show was given by one of the university's professors, who approached the two tabula rasa afterwards and offered them a place to stay for the night. When Theia's and Aster's coats began to change the morning afterwards, they knew they had found their new home.

Now, Theia lives with Aster and a few other space-themed Paralogos under the guardianship of Dr. Aliya Ramirez. Theia is tasked with organizing and documenting data about exoplanets that the university's astronomy department studies.
