the basics
full name ♦ Thea Josephine Goulding nicknames ♦ TJ, Storm age ♦ nineteen birthday ♦ July 5th, 1999 occupation ♦ school ♦ Primrose species ♦ Human ability/power ♦ Weather Manipulation how the ability works ♦ In the most basic of terms, Thea is able to control various meteorological patterns. From your smallest rain shower to the worst natural disaster, Thea has the potential to have a hand in all of them, though her ability at present is rather limited. Most often there is a shift of temperature around her that is opposite of what the air actually is. This is something that is, for the most part, done subconsciously and allows her to moderate her own body temperature through adjusting the pressure around her to suit her needs. Though she can change the climate in the area immediately surrounding her, it isn’t something that she feels a need to do.
Thea is able, to some degree, to access all patterns of the weather - rain, wind, snow, fog, and even lightning. While temperature changes might come easiest to her, there is a very close second in her ability to manipulate the electrical patterns in the air, allowing her to create what is essentially ‘lightning in a bottle’. In her most calm and relaxed state, this application of weather manipulation allows Thea to direct bolts of lightning where she desires for the space of roughly a mile and a half - a small feat considering the average lightning bolt spans five miles.
When her emotions become unstable, the air often crackles around her and her ability becomes unpredictable. It can either completely die out on her or get horribly out of control. The storms that she generates while unstable are equally unpredictable in what they will produce and the duration in which they last. This side-effect causes a variety of symptoms to manifest, including nausea, vertigo, and bleeding from her ears, nose, or eyes has been recorded. The worse the side-effect, the worse the day after becomes. Thea is often sluggish after pushing the limits of her ability, seemingly in a daze not unlike someone who had been sedated. Balance issues remain for upwards of twenty-four hours and have, in the past, left her with broken bones from pushing it.
gender ♦ female (she/her) sexuality ♦ Bisexual
the appearance
face claim ♦ Vanessa Morgan height and weight ♦ 5’3” & 112lbs identifying features ♦ Thea has a small rose tattoo under and alongside her left breast. overall appearance ♦ Short in stature she might be, Thea stands out in a crowd. Whether from the pink hues that often decorate her hair or the way she walks that makes heads turn. There is a confidence about her that transcends a basic appearance and, though she knows she’s a looker, it’s not something that she solely relies on. Mixed within the set lines of her face is a gentleness behind brown eyes, something that only those who dare to get close to her are every privy to witness. Her style varies from day to day and the colors that she dons span from the blackest of black to the brightest of whites. Comfortable to skintight is nothing new for her and there have certainly been more than a few times when she was asked to go and change before she would be admitted back into a classroom. Keeping people on their toes with her appearance is something that she gets joy out of and so it’s always changing.

dislikes ♦ Louisiana Small towns Sweet tea Liars Sweating Being sick
strengths ♦ Intuitive Confident Persuasive
weaknesses ♦ Selfish Vindictive Spoiled
dreams ♦ To travel the world Make a groundbreaking discovery
fears ♦ Losing everything Being buried alive
overall personality ♦ Thea comes from a world of money and has no hesitations about acting like it. She’s someone who thinks that the world owes her something and that means taking advantage of every little opportunity that comes her way. Being born with a silver spoon in her mouth seems to have stained her tongue the same color, ensuring that talking herself out of situations is something that can be done with relative ease and talking people into something is just as likely. However, this isn’t solely because of the way she’s able to twist her words, but equally because she often has a good point to the things that she’s trying to say. Thea is highly intelligent, getting grades that are close to the top of her class, if not at the top. Her intelligence isn’t something that she is ashamed of either and she frequently tutors people in need, often at the behest of her teachers with the promise of it bettering her own grades.
When it comes to the social aspect of Thea, there seem to be two extremes with the students at the school - they either steer clear of her or find themselves drawn in by her witty banter and radiating confidence. She doesn’t exactly make friends easily, but those that she does make are people that she stands by, perhaps almost blindly loyal in some senses. She is horribly protective of her friends - though that might be more into the selfish territory than what she’s willing to admit. When it comes to her people and her things, Thea has been known to be selfish, unwilling to share even the smallest of things if she doesn’t deem people worthy and sharing her friends is something that comes with even more difficulty.
Perhaps stemming from being selfish and spoiled is a part of Thea that is terribly vindictive. It’s nothing for her to find ways to make someone’s life hell if she feels that they’ve wronged her. She is someone who tries to take things with a grain of salt, but that isn’t always the easiest thing to do and sometimes she makes the choice to deal out her own consequences that she deems fitting. Ruining the social image of her peers is often the poison of choice and one that she has found herself turning to more times than she can count. Rumor mills sure can be a bitch.

Tornadoes You are the second child born to your family and you are born a three weeks before your due date. Your parents struggled with fertility after the birth of your older sister, struggled with the idea that their first child would forever be their only. You were a miracle, a rainbow baby after the loss of those that had come before you. After a scary time in the hospital, your parents were able to bring you home, to dote upon you, though you struggled to regulate your own body temperature and needed to be watched closely. As you grew, your personality was quick to follow. You were always on the move, unable to stay still and your parents were often unable to keep up with you. Were it not for your older sister, you probably would have gotten yourself hurt more times than you could count at such a young age.
Hurricanes You took to water like a fish, a fortunate thing considering the proximity of the ocean to your home. The sound of the tide washing in and rushing out was a soothing white noise to your ears. The heat of the sun warmed the water, which served to warm your skin. You could spend hours at the beach, surfing and snorkeling with your friends. The ocean was like your second home. Many of your friends were always curious as to how you were able to dive into the water without allowing your body to adjust. You didn’t have an answer; it was normal for you. What you didn’t realize was that this was how your ability started.
Blizzards Being the child of two wealthy people means that you are used to getting your way. Your parents never used the word spoiled, but your peers did. You were able to get anything that you wanted just because you gave those big doe eyes to your parents and stuck your bottom lip out in a way that would make them feel guilty for refusing you. What many didn’t realize that a facet of being able to get your way was the ability you had to give the cold shoulder in the blink of an eye. Such was discovered when your parents attempted to cancel a ski trip to Vale one winter. Ultimately you and your sister were able to go in the company of your extended family that were going to be on the trip. It was a wonderful trip, made only more beautiful by the winter storm that kept all planes grounded for the next three days.
Wildfires Few things in the world are as devastating as a wildfire. Your grandparents lost everything to one such blaze; everything that they had worked so hard for throughout several decades was suddenly wiped out in an instant. The community came together in an attempt to rebuild the community that had been damaged and it was the first time that you saw a true sense of people helping people without expecting anything in return. It was the first time in your life that you reached outside of yourself and saw that being selfish and greedy all of the time wasn’t necessary. You lost a piece of yourself with that realization, but it wouldn’t be long until you found it again, when the cause of the wildfire was discovered.
Thunderstorms The source of the fire had been a lightning strike - a strike that you knew all too much about. You had been testing yourself, the ability that you knew so little about and before you were aware of what was happening, a crackle of electricity sparked through the air and lightning struck nearby. The fire that it caused was small when you fled the scene and you had never imagined it would evolve into such a massive problem. Weeks went by until you confessed what you had done to your parents. They were disappointed and knew there was only one option for you. It was important for you to find a place where you could learn about your ability and learn how to use it in such a way that wasn’t destructive. Control was important and you lacked it.
Floods Flooding often goes hand in hand with hurricanes. You were furious with your parents for sending you away, forcing you to leave your friends and the life that you had built in California. Salt only seemed to be rubbed in the wound when they told you that they were going with you. It would be an adventure, something that would benefit the entire family and your older sister would be able to get in a couple years of education at one of the finest institutes available. So you stepped into Primrose with a chip on your shoulder, sliding into an almost immediate group of friends who seemed to feel similarly, people who had been uprooted from their homes and forced to into this school in order to harness their abilities. You have been here for almost five years and while you still yearn for California, you have settled in Louisiana and your abilities have continued to grow under the watchful eye of your professors and peers.
