ABILITIES
Theraël was blessed with Altea's creation power at birth. She's able to create anything by using the simple strength of her mind or holding her hand. She created most of the currently existing concepts, turned Altea's dead body into a palace and built the Earth from scratch with the help of Jaswinn and Oryndë.
Before 176, healing people's wounds was considered as "recreation" and therefore a form of creation. Theraël made Valryn's arm and Oryndë's tail grow again after they were ripped off, but then decided to forget this ability.
As a Mother Goddess, Theraël brought several children to life by simple creation, without properly giving birth. Her only natural children are Nisis, Gweldas and Azran.
PERSONALITY
Theraël is an ambivalent person whose particularity is to be both very sensitive and detached from her own feelings.
Since she comes from Altea who was a desperate creature, she inherited from their sadness and strong emotions. She gets overwhelmed quite easily and is often exhausted by her own children or when things go wrong on Altea.
Theraël takes her responsibilities to heart and will cry if she thinks she has failed or can't control something. Her long-lasting depression makes her even more sensitive and she's often seen having mental breakdowns.
However, Theraël can sometimes appear as cold and heartless. In 152, she decided under Klavia's influence to get rid of a part of her sadness and anger, giving birth to Acherus (God of Sadness and Affliction) and Valryn (God of Anger and Chaos).
She became quite strict and stiff, especially with the wrongdoers she won't hesitate to hurt or bannish from Altea.
Theraël can be considered as selfish because she will always put her mission and Altea's well-being before her children's. She's overall a pretty bad mother, as she hates kids and was forced to give birth to most of hers. She struggles raising them and will often act heartless toward them.
Theraël also shows favoritism and it is implied without being told that Nisis is her favorite son. She's been hating Valryn and Azran right from the start and is partly responsible for their corruption arcs. She's rather resentful and unforgiving, especially with them.
BACKSTORY
Theraël was born in 107 from Altea's ashes and creation power. After staying inconcious for a few time, she woke up with the dead parent's voice in her head. Theraël immediately understood she had to recreate Thër, without truly knowing who or what he was.
Since she needed a bit of help, she created Klavia to assist her in her duty. The two of them became sisters and started building a palace out of Altea's ashes to honor the death of their ancestor.
In 125, they were joined by "The Child From No Place" : nobody knew where he came from but Theraël and Klavia accepted him on Altea as a new God and nicknamed him Yevlan.
Theraël was crowned as a queen and started leading the mission they were given by Altea, but she quickly noticed she was too emotional to be a good ruler. Thus in 152, Klavia advised her to get rid of her negative emotions. She split them in two and gave birth to Acherus and Valryn, the Gods of Sadness and Anger.
In order to complete her mission, Theraël created two new children named Jaswinn and Oryndë, mixing her blood with earth and water. Yet she noticed Jaswinn and Oryndë were each other's soul-sister and therefore could not be Altea's; she had to think about another solution when she understood Thër would never be a God.
She then accepted Yevlan's idea to create a new species which would be mortal and could change with time to reach perfection : the idea of the ël (who started being called elves with time) was considered.
In order to gather all the mortals, the Altean Gods had to create a new place as well : thus Earth was born in 231 and it became Thër itself. Its creation definetly relieved Altea from their pain.
On the year 205, Theraël met Ferëv who created herself on her own and pretended to come from Theraël's love for Yevlan. Indeed, Theraël had started developing feelings for him without knowing it was love.
Under Ferëv's influence, she decided to marry Yevlan, who became the King of Altea and ruled at her side.
Theraël got pregnant by Yevlan quickly after their first intercourses and considered aborting the kids because she had too much children already and couldn't manage them. Yet, Yevlan pressured her into keeping the children and she finally accepted to give birth to the twin brothers Nisis and Gweldas.
In 280, Yevlan insisted that she gave her another child, what Theraël categorically refused. Yevlan then tried to kill himself to blackmail her and Theraël felt forced to accept. After a whole year of unsuccessful tries and two miscarriages, she managed to give birth to Azran; just like for her twins, the labor was so painful it literally traumatized her both physically and mentally.
PRIVATE LIFE
Theraël, as the Mother Goddess and Goddess of Maternity, is the mother of many Gods on Altea.
She's married to Yevlan and her marriage makes her unhappy because of his husband's toxic and manipulative personality. However, she doesn't see the red flags and is unable to divorce him.

RELATIONSHIPS
ALTEA
Theraël is the Goddess Altea created in their image and transmitted their powers to so she could create Thër when she grew up.
Theraël is very pious and invested in her mission : she often prays Altea. When she thinks she has failed something, she usually asks for Altea's pardon in the "ashes room" where Altea's ashes are kept.
Their well-being is the most important thing to Theraël, who sometimes neglects her own children's feelings to protect Altea.
When Theraël was just born, Altea's voice was still in her head and told her they "loved her deeply but couldn't stay with her".
YEVLAN
Yevlan is Theraël's husband and she's deeply in love with him.
Despite being married to someone she loves, Theraël is unhappy because Yevlan is toxic and abusive. Yet she doesn't see the problem because of her denial and Yevlan's manipulation skills.
Through the years they spent together, he became able to make her dependant enough to control her entirely. Theraël will always do her best to please her husband, even if it ends up hurting her.
For example, since Ferëv convinced her that lovers should always share a bed, Theraël accepts having sex with Yevlan even when she doesn't want to. Yevlan raped her multiple times using coercion and the hurtful intercourses they had traumatized her.
Yevlan doesn't hesitate to hurt himself if Theraël doesn't obey him : he forced her to give birth to the sons she wanted to abort and to give him another child, threatening to kill himself otherwise.
Theraël is extremely devoted to Yevlan and would do anything for him to feel happy, always putting his needs before hers. Yevlan however, isn't in love with his wife and married her for power. He has no respect for her and spends his time cheating on her with mortals.
This toxic relationship caused Theraël to be even more depressed and her self-esteem to be at its lowest.
KLAVIA
Theraël created Klavia in 107 so she could guide and advise her. Since she genetically comes from Theraël's blood and Altea's ashes, she's technically both her daughter and little sister, but the two of them consider themselves as sisters and best friends.
Klavia also is the Royal Counselor and is always by Theraël's side, helping her taking the most important decisions on Altea. She's more useful than her husband when it comes to responsibilities, eventhough he's supposed to be the King.
She's undoubtely the person to be the most devoted to Theraël. Klavia is always here for her and supports her, not only politically but also emotionally during her darkest moments.
Theraël loves her sister just as much and always defends her in front of Yevlan : remove Klavia from the Council was the only thing Theraël refused to do for her husband. Yet, their relationship isn't totally balanced since Theraël doesn't have the mental health to reciprocate everything.
Klavia also is desperately trying to protect Theraël from Yevlan's abuse. She's able to detect the red flags and keeps warning her queen, in vain. The situation is very frustrating for Klavia, who feels helpless against her sister's visible decline.
They slept together once after Theraël discovered about Yevlan's adultery and was furious and desperate.
She felt guilty afterwards and they never did it again, but it was the best intercourse of her life since Klavia was the first person to respect her sexual needs and limits.
NISIS
Nisis is one of Theraël's twin sons and therefore one of her first biological children. He was unwanted at first : Theraël's pregnancy was an accident and she wanted to abort, but Yevlan pressured her into keeping the twins.
Theraël used to hate him when he was a child because he kept fighting with Gweldas, caused a lot of chaos on Altea and exhausted her.
Growing up, Nisis became wiser and more mature and earned the title of heir to the throne. The two of them bonded a little and Nisis is now Theraël's favorite son.
She appreciates his calm and serious temperament and the maturity he has towards his responsibilities. She has a total trust in him when it comes to sit as a counselor.
GWELDAS
Just like Nisis', Gweldas' birth was an accident but Theraël learnt to love him after he stopped fighting with his brother.
They don't spend much time together because Gweldas' excessive joyness tires her, yet she would do anything to protect her son.
Theraël can't see Gweldas as an adult because of his immaturity and contrary to Nisis, she wouldn't trust him enough to give him any more responsibility.
AZRAN
Azran is Theraël and Yevlan's youngest biological child.
Theraël didn't desire them neither but her pregnancy wasn't accidental this time : Yevlan wanted another child at all cost and forced Theraël to bear it, threatening to kill himself if she refused.
Theraël accepted but suffered a lot and kept huge traumas from the pregnancy and the labor. Therefore, she hated her child since the second they were born because she saw them as responsible for her pain. Theraël always refused to talk to Azran, not adressing them a single word for over 70 years.
Partly because of this rejection and under Yevlan's influence, Azran started hating their mother back.
After their corruption arc, this hate worsened both ways. Theraël felt relieved when Klavia banished Azran from Altea after they corrupted the mortals. She never forgave their treason and didn't even try to.
VALRYN
Theraël hates Valryn just as much as Azran, if not more.
Since he comes from her repressed anger, he was destructive and chaotic as a child already and used violence to get his mother's attention. His habit of breaking everything on Altea used to piss Theraël off and she didn't refrain from showing Valryn a strong despise.
His birth was motivated by the idea of getting rid of her emotions, but Theraël was obviously too young to be a mother aged 40 and made a lot of mistakes.
The affection she didn't give him caused Valryn to have parental issues and become even more brutal.
Theraël never ever trusted him in anything and refused to let him join the Council : in 333, it offended him and he broke Altea in two throwing a tantrum.
His mother never forgave him and Valryn was the first God to ever be banished from Altea. They physically fought multiple times when he tried to come back and Theraël always won.
Theraël's hate towards Valryn is reciprocate and he wishes for her downfall since the day of his exile.
ACHERUS
Acherus is the third child Theraël hates the most, except it's not reciprocate.
He comes from her sadness and often makes her feel blue when they interact. Theraël saw him as useless and annoying when he still was on Altea, because he kept complaining about how life was hard and she thought his depression was taking too much space.
She didn't properly "hate" him until 375, when Acherus spread many diseases on Earth after losing Wyn's friendship and the control of his powers.
Seeing his son hurt such a sacred place drove Theraël crazy and she first gave him a second chance, asking him to fix his wrongs. Since Acherus didn't have the mental space and strength to do it, he was banished from Altea not long after his brother Valryn.
Theraël never forgave him but Acherus still has a deep respect and love for her.
JASWINN and ORYNDË
Jaswinn and Oryndë are amongst the rare children to be truly loved by Theraël. She considers them as her son and daughter since they come from her blood mixed with earth and water.
Theraël appreciates the spouses' calm personalities and lifestyle : from the day they were born, they never misbehaved nor caused trouble on Altea.
She can see a lot of harmony in their relationship and is positively affected by the purity of their love.
Theraël let Jaswinn and Oryndë distance themselves from Altea and settle on Earth, but she still sees them from time to time. She has a total trust in them and even offred them a seat on the Royal Council, which only Oryndë accepted.
