Dark skin, lustrous brown hair, mismatched brown and hazel eyes. Unaided, she stands 5'10“, but she usually wears deeply impractical heels that let her tower over most people. She recently twisted her left ankle, so she now favours her right leg slightly while walking. Though tall, she is very slender so she only weighs a little over 50 kilograms (110 pounds). She has a deep, syrupy-smooth contralto speaking voice that almost seems to purr as she talks.

Thia usually introduces herself to a new person by giving them a nickname and a thinly-veiled sexual innuendo. She delights in wordplay and banter. Though she actually just wants to learn about people, she finds that hitting on them puts them off-balance and makes them more likely to open up once she changes the topic of conversation. Thia can be very protective of other people when she thinks they don't know what they're getting into. But as long as she feels people know the consequences of their actions, she is happy to take advantage of anyone.

Thia enjoys a certain amount of romance and promiscuity but doesn't like to tie herself down with commitments. If you invite her to the hot springs, she might show up, or she might hop on a random train to explore a city she's never been to.

Thia was born in YE 01 and grew up homeless on the streets of Funky City. She grew to be friendly but stubborn, which led to the fight in which she ruptured an eardrum at the age of 16. Her street kid friends pooled together the money she needed to replace her ear with cybernetics, an act of kindness she would never forget. While she was still healing from surgery in YE 17, she cleaned up an abandoned building and established an unofficial “orphanage” where street kids could drop in for shelter, warmth, and food as long as they contributed.

Thia earned a living from a young age by facilitating the exchange of information between her friends. From a young age, Thia crashed parties and hung around in any social setting that she could find. Thia's natural interest in other people led to her chatting them up and learning all about them. She was very quick to identify that some people she met wanted to know things, and other people knew things, and she could make money by asking questions of the latter group and selling them to the former. Her cybernetic hearing assisted her in this, allowing her to record and playback everything she heard.

Thia's stubbornness got her into trouble in YE 40 when she stood up for someone who was being verbally abused at a party and refused to back down when threatened. The abuser turned out to be a gang member, who took Thia's eye and threatened her with worse if she didn't leave Funky City permanently. Though she initially dismissed the threats, she was forced to flee when gang members started harassing the children of her “orphanage.” Immediately following the surgery to replace her eye with a cybernetic one, she fled to Ternifac where she has lived ever since.

Adjusting to life in Ternifac was difficult, since she had to leave most of her network behind in Funky City, but she eventually made contact with a mysterious Sonoda-san, who was willing to pay for any information related to the military. Most recently, she sold the information related to mass troop movements preceding the Battle of Glimmergold.

One night in 9月 YE 42, while gathering info at a bar in Ternifac, she chatted with a group of Star Army of Yamatai soldiers, twisted her ankle, and ended up spending the night in a honeymoon suite with Delmira Brunhilde Lulie, Kawa Euikoshi, Pidole Henitot, and Kawa Kinie.

In YE 43, she was present at the activation of the Aquarius Star Fortress.

Thia knew that her days as an information broker were limited, so as soon as she immigrated to Yamatai she spent her days taking remote courses in counseling from the Scientific Studies Service (SSS) - Gakuin (Academy). She completed her Bachelor of Psychology in YE 43, her Master of Counseling in YE 44, along with all the accreditation to make her a licensed professional counselor.

Later in YE 44, she visited the Star Army recruiting center to volunteer for the Star Army of Yamatai. She was appointed among the Star Army of Yamatai's first generation of counselors and assigned to the YSS Resurgence immediately. On the way, she contacted the Aquarius Star Fortress PANT-IES asking if they wanted counseling. She also received a SYNC transmission from Vec Wilson.
