Backstory
Theresa had an incredibly normal childhood. Both of her parents are business professionals, so they had plenty of money to nurture their children's interests. Theresa was a ballerina up until the Turned showed up, and when she wasn't getting straight As, she was tinkering with electronics and building computers for people as a side hustle.

When the Turned showed up, Theresa's parents moved the family from Ohio to the upper peninsula of Michigan, following rumors that the entire UP had been secured and was 100% Turned-free and a safe haven for civilians. The O'Connor's have lived in Michigan ever sense. Though she had to give up ballet, Theresa has really leaned into fixing up electronics for the UP state.

Shortly after moving, the Network contacted Theresa and hired her to fix up cell towers and reconnect the Upper Peninsula with the world, as they said. Because of her work, the UP has the best cellular connection, relatively high speed internet, and most importantly it is online for the Network to monitor.

This was her job up until the Network asked for her to vouch for Donovan Satta, who they had in custody. They then tasked her to drive to Denver, Colorado in a Network van, and help to escort Donovan and the rest of the party to Stanford. Conflict ensued, and Theresa joined Donovan and the party on the run and was excommunicated from the Network. Shortly after joining the party, the monster separated them all and zapped Gwen and Theresa to Montana.

Cast One
Donovan: Theresa's ex-boyfriend, who she briefly reconnected with in California through The Network before getting teleported to Montana. She loves him still, but thinks he's incredibly reckless, and she doesn't approve of his monster hunting.

Before they broke up, she helped him patch himself up and grew more and more concerned for him the more scars he got. Finally she broke it off with him, telling him it's either the monster hunting or it's her. He couldn't give up the monster hunting, as he had one more monster to kill, so they split. Donovan would text her every now and then with updates, though he was never certain that they got through. Finally, Theresa text him back and basically said Don't text me unless you're dead. Obviously, she was still sore about him leaving.

They had no contact until Donovan was in The Network's custody, where they got ahold of Theresa to see if she would vouch for him. She did, and tried to get him to just comply with the KEL. He playfully challenged her, so she told The Network he was an enemy of the state. She had to intercept them in California because of their escape from Colorado, and was forced to chose between The Network and Donovan's party. She chose the party after hearing everything The Network did and planned to do with them.

They weren't together for long before they went to hunt the monster that ended up teleporting them. She's worried about Donovan and where he ended up, and if he's going to go back and fight that monster alone.

Ky: Her first impression of Ky was surprise that a 16-year old was monster hunting. Then they called her pretty and impressed her with some magic. She think's Ky is very smart and funny, and appreciates the sibling-like relationship they have with Donovan.

Sterling: Theresa respects Sterling and his mysterious ways. It was very polite of him to call her Miss O'Connor right off of the bat, and she returned the politeness. It was easy to pick up on the chemistry between Sterling and Gwen, but she didn't get to ask him about it before they got separated.

Gwendolyn: Theresa appreciated that Gwen always seemed to have a plan. Less impulsive things happen when a plan is involved. She also appreciated that Gwen knew when to pick her battles, and when to let others handle the monster. Of all the people to get separated with, Theresa is glad she was standing next to Gwen when it happened.

Lucy: A little strange, but an amazing fighter. Theresa has had pleasant talks with Lucy, and finds her a little awkward though not terribly so. She laughs when Lucy mothers Donovan, because she's fully aware he deserves it.

Cast Two
Gwendolyn: Theresa respects and appreciates Gwendolyn, and the relationship she's made with Donovan, her reckless and impulsive ex boyfriend. Theresa had only known Gwen for a short time before one monster in particular, in an effort to protect itself/escape, used magic on their small party. The monster ended up separating Gwen and Theresa from Donovan and their other party members. Since then, Theresa is very apt to stick to Gwen like glue, since neither of them have the exact fighting prowess as their other friends. They both share the goal of getting back to their friends somehow.

Skylar: Theresa has no aspirations to be a full-time monster hunter. Though she understands that Good Monsters exist, she's incredibly wary of everyone of supernatural origin. So when she stumbled upon another hunter attempting to kill Skylar, she took a huge leap of faith in defending the other, fearing that while she stood between the hunter and the monster, the monster would stab her in the back-- literally.

Thankfully, Skylar didn't. Theresa chocks their first meeting completely up to chance, but doesn't know what to make of running into her again. Less wary than before (though still wary), she is politely neutral at the thought of traveling with a bonfide monster, seeing the relationship as a way to reconnect with her people and nothing more.

Caleb: She finds him very funny, though she doubts he's actually trying to be funny. She playfully teases him about all of his junk in the back seat of his truck, but otherwise finds him and his junk and his art very charming.
