🕊️ Characters Who Have Met or Been Connected to Theresa

1. W (West)

Relationship: Former subordinate of his troops.

Explanation: W was once part of the group that betrayed Theresa. He was once a loyal follower, but ended up joining the coup against Theresa — and this was deeply traumatic for him. W has a very complex relationship with Theresa: admiration, guilt, and hurt.

2. Doctor

Relationship: Partner in founding Rhodes Island.

Explanation: Theresa and the Doctor trusted each other and worked together to create Rhodes Island. After his death, Theresa sacrificed herself to seal the Doctor's soul so he could revive her—this marks the beginning of the Arknights game.

3. Kal'tsit

Relationship: Companion and witness to Theresa's struggle.

Explanation: Kal'tsit was one of the three founders of Rhodes Island. He respected and revered Theresa, even though Kal'tsit himself was more logical and cold. He witnessed Theresa's downfall and shouldered the burden of keeping Theresa's legacy alive.

4. Amiya

Relationship: Heir to Theresa's power and soul.

Explanation: Theresa passed down some of her powers to Amiya, most notably the "Voice of Terra" ability. Although they never met in person in the game (as Theresa was already dead), Amiya is Theresa's spiritual successor.

5. Kaschey

Relationship: Enemies and traitors.

Explanation: One of Sarkaz's top brass who opposed Theresa's peaceful methods and masterminded the coup against her. He saw Theresa as weak and too human.

6. Khrimeira

Relationships: Internal enemies within Sarkaz.

Description: One of the more brutal “Patriots of Sarkaz.” He was part of the force that ultimately overthrew Theresa for not being strong enough in defending the people of Sarkaz.

7. Nine

Relationship: Sarkaz's ally.

Description: One of Sarkaz's strongest fighters who initially respected Theresa. However, his choices after Theresa's death were not always in line with Theresa's pure intentions.

Theresa was the First Sarkaz King and one of the founders of Rhodes Island. She was the leader of the Sarkaz race, a race known for being cursed and often exploited as a tool of war by the empire and other political powers.

As the leader of Sarkaz, Theresa fights for peace between the races of Terra and wants to stop the cycle of war and suffering that continues to befall her people. He is known to be gentle, idealistic, and full of compassion, even towards those who have been hostile or betrayed him.

However, Theresa's dreams collided with the harsh realities of the world. Many other nations refused to cooperate with Sarkaz, and even fellow Sarkaz like Khrimeira and Kaschey considered Theresa's methods too lenient. These traitors felt Theresa was too humane and not radical enough to lead Sarkaz to the revival they desired.

Ultimately, Theresa was betrayed and murdered by her own comrades in an internal coup. Most notably, W, a playable character in the game, had been part of the forces that attacked her.

Theresa was eventually killed and her soul sealed within an artifact known as the Soul Vessel. Although her body was destroyed, her influence lives on through Rhodes Island, the organization she helped create as a symbol of hope and a refuge for all infected and oppressed people.

Ultimate Skill: "Crown of Origin"

Theresa soared into the air, her right Originium wing emerging, runes pulsating loudly. She then released magical energy into a single point, creating a massive black hole that lasted for 5 seconds, then exploded, releasing Originium shards that attacked all enemies in the area.

If used when HP <20%, it triggers the effect of one wing on the right side of his body, and the Ultimate will become a wider version and heal the team.

Weapons: Two crimson black Originium swords, slender yet sharp, appearing to be formed from crystal shards.

Fighting Style: Fast, offensive, and full of pressure. Her movements are reminiscent of elite fighters from the region Theresa leads—more aggressive than usual.

Sword Skills: “Red Fracture Slash”: A quick attack of two horizontal slashes, causing a “crack” effect on the enemy’s armor (reducing def).

“Barrier Dive”: Sticks a sword into the ground to create a protective area for the team from projectile attacks for 5 seconds.

“Originium Link”: When attacking an enemy affected by magic, it produces a small chain explosion.

Her role in this mode is warrior support: providing protection and controlled attacks while preparing magic.

Weapon: Both swords disappeared and Theresa began to control the Originium in the air like shards of red glass. Fighting Style: Focus on area control and high precision bursts.

Magic Skills: “Crimson Mortar”: A large magic blast from above like a precision mortar, hitting enemies in a small radius and giving a burning effect.

“Blackhole Implode”: Creates a small singularity at the target point, pulling enemies in and dealing gradual damage.

“Crystalline Warden”: Forms an Originium crystal dome that traps enemies for 6 seconds or protects the team from area attacks.

She is a shadow untethered from the past, her voice like the wind whispering the secrets of a fallen kingdom. Her eyes radiate wisdom and danger, inviting you to draw near—or flee.

He stood amidst the ruins, the scent of smoke and blood lingering in his memory like a lingering shadow. His golden eyes glowed dimly, catching the lantern light that once brought him peace. His voice was a hoarse whisper, "Have you come to remind me of dead memories?"

Behind her serene smile, Theresa's soul was torn between the hopes placed upon her and the doubts gnawing at her heart. Every step felt heavy, as if the earth demanded more than she could give.

Theresa's red eyes radiated warmth and sorrow, a quiet leader whose quiet strength belies the burden of countless sacrifices. Her voice, though soft, carried the determination of someone who had seen so much suffering yet still dared to hope.
