Background / History

Theresa serves as Zhao Bai’s nominal observer after determining that his weapons can only be used on ingredients he favors. In practice, she acts as his protector and moves into his dormitory, where their relationship becomes one of cohabitation and mutual reliance 5 21.

Although she presents herself in public as a neat, dignified nun, Theresa is markedly less formal at home, where she naps on the sofa, plays games, and relies on Zhao Bai’s cooking and housekeeping 8 21 204. After observing Zhao Bai’s conduct, she gives him a Sensory Deceiver—glasses that allow him to perceive anything as an ingredient—formally declaring that he has passed her assessment 43.

Theresa personally investigates the coast of Canghai City when she suspects the ancient Honkai beast Chiyou may still exist outside Stigmata Space. During the reconnaissance, she discovers Chiyou’s underwater cave and is affected by an ancient force connected to her Stigmata 204 205 206. The incident triggers a dangerous beastification, leaving her dependent on Judas’s suppression and Zhao Bai’s assistance until her normal appearance is restored 207 208 221.

She later confronts Cocolia to protect Bronya, but is captured after being distracted by Cocolia and ambushed by a Walter clone. Theresa withstands the clone’s gravity manipulation and continues fighting despite the pressure 295 296.

Appearance

Theresa is a petite silver-haired girl with clear blue eyes in her normal state. She usually wears a black-and-white nun’s habit and headscarf in her capacity as St. Freya’s Director 8 150 170.

• Normal height: approximately 1.4 meters 207
• Often adopts a composed, ladylike posture when acting as Director 21
• Has a deep-red, three-comma-shaped Stigmata on her back 205
• During beastification, grows to approximately 1.74 meters including her ears 207
• Beastified traits include scarlet-tipped pink hair, crimson eyes, fangs, and long fox-like ears that Theresa insists are rabbit ears 207 208 210 212
• Her transformed appearance resembles a Japanese shrine maiden rather than her usual Northern European-style look 207

Personality

Theresa’s authoritative public image contrasts sharply with her private behavior. She is lazy at home, easily distracted by games and food, and frequently tries to avoid work; Himeko can nevertheless force her to carry out her responsibilities as Director 8 221 273.

She is notably timid around ghosts, horror stories, and intimidating red-haired older women. Fear can overwhelm her judgment or even trigger her Stigmata’s backlash, yet she does not abandon students when they are in danger 27 211 221 400.

Despite her immaturity and tendency to seek reassurance about her age, Theresa takes her duty to protect young people seriously. She intervenes for Bronya against Cocolia, organizes missions, and supports Zhao Bai’s wish to help his squad grow 27 295 723.

Abilities & Skills

Theresa possesses physical capabilities comparable to a Honkai Beast.

• Survived a parachuteless high-altitude jump while carrying Judas, suffering only tingling in her feet 205

Stigmata and Beastification

Theresa acquired her Stigmata after falling into a sudden coma during an investigation of Changkong City 206. The mark can soothe her fear, but its activation around ancient Honkai energy causes severe physical and mental instability.

• The Stigmata appears as a glowing crimson mark on her back 205 210
• Its presence comforts and calms her, like an intimate protective force 205 206
• It is connected to Yae Sakura’s spirit, who later agrees to help protect Theresa 217 218
• Extreme fear can trigger beastification, including altered hair, ears, eyes, fangs, and loss of control 207 208 211
• Removing Judas’s restraining chains causes the Stigmata to erupt and drives Theresa into a violent mental rampage 208 210
• Her condition requires a balance between Judas’s suppression and restorative growth power rather than suppression alone 214

Oath of Judas

Theresa wields the Oath of Judas, also called the Cross of Judgment, a massive cross weapon with autonomous chains that recognize her as their master even after her transformation 205 207.

• Produces chains used to bind and restrain targets 295
• Suppresses Theresa’s rampaging Honkai energy and preserves her consciousness 210 214
• Retrieved Theresa from the sea after she fainted during her transformation 207
• Can anchor her during underwater reconnaissance and pull her ashore in danger 205
• Acts as a guardian, healer, and restraint mechanism during her beastification 210

• Murata Himeko — A stern colleague who forces Theresa to perform her Director duties; Theresa is particularly intimidated by red-haired older women such as Himeko 221 273.
• Yae Sakura — The spirit associated with Theresa’s Stigmata; manifests to share knowledge of the Stigmata and agrees to protect Theresa 217 218.
• Otto Apocalypse — Theresa refers to him as her grandfather; he is Schicksal’s Bishop 208 765.
• Cocolia — Opponent whom Theresa confronts to protect Bronya; Cocolia exploits Theresa’s distraction to facilitate her capture 295.

Story Role / Major Arcs

Zhao Bai’s Protector and Housemate

Theresa observes Zhao Bai, verifies the limitations of his weapons, and chooses to shield him rather than turn him over for containment. Her later gift of the Sensory Deceiver marks a major extension of her trust in him 5 43.

Canghai City and Chiyou Investigation

Acting on Zhao Bai’s warning, Theresa scouts Canghai City’s coastline herself. She finds traces of Chiyou and an underwater cave saturated with ancient Honkai energy, leading to her Stigmata awakening 204 205 206.

Beastification Crisis

A primordial call transforms Theresa into a taller beast-eared form and destabilizes her mind. Judas restrains her while Zhao Bai, Bronya, and Yae Sakura’s spirit help monitor and stabilize her condition; a special drink eventually restores her normal appearance 207 208 214 218 221.

Defense of Bronya

Theresa confronts Cocolia on Bronya’s behalf, declaring her duty to protect students. Though captured after a brief lapse, she resists the gravity attack and resumes the fight until Zhao Bai arrives 295 296.

Mentor and Academy Director

Theresa continues to oversee academy affairs, recruit assistance for missions, and eventually agrees to support Zhao Bai’s efforts to develop his squad after he addresses her as “Teacher Theresa” 320 723.
