Age: 29
Time Zone: CST
Name: Thea Queen
Canon: DCTV (Arrow)
Canon Point: Last 10 minutes of "Broken Arrow" (3x19) when she was stabbed by Ra's Al Ghul. Pre pit so bloodlust free.
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Items: Damaged clothes/jewelry on person, cell phone in pocket, wallet (with ID and some cash), archery gear
Character Build: Willa Holland aka Thea Queen
Personality: If she was being honest Thea would admit she was a total brat in the 5 years Oliver was on the island. But before that she had been a classic good girl with a loving family and plenty of friends. She did change during that 5 years, quickly becoming reckless and embracing everything crazy. She also took to booze and occasional pills to drown her pain, quickly becoming bitter when Oliver does return. But over the 3 seasons to date (canon point wise) she's grown up emotionally and has become a mature young businesswoman in a happy and stable (well given that Roy Harper is also Arsenal) relationship. She loves deeply, is very loyal to her family and the handful she can trust and has been clean for almost 2 years (something she's quite proud of). Sure she's still got an occasional moment of impulsive thinking and is still a little reckless, but Thea Queen has become a fighter and a woman that nobody would have seen just 3 years ago.
Once she wakes up from the stabbing/crash landing onto the platform she'll also live in fear of having a relapse (she won't with people hopefully keeping tabs) while trying to understand a world very much not her own. Add in not having the people she loves around and cue a somewhat darker and rawer Thea. But once she can trust someone she'll quickly bloom into that confident and brave young woman she's quickly become.
Along the way I do want to explore the mental and emotional fallout stemming from her part (abet via being brainwashed) in the death of Sara Lance along with her recovery from the events leading to her being stabbed by Ra's Al Ghul. My plan is for her to basically be overwhelmed emotionally/mentally at some point to cue a small scale downward spiral via not eating or sleeping for anywhere from a few days to several weeks, This will hopefully be caught before she gets too sick and gives her that push into actual recovery.
I also have headcanon Thea's been in and out of depression for years (stemming from the Queen's Gambit accident and only getting worse when her mother was killed by Slade Wilson, usually she's able to keep it under wraps beyond family and close friends) which will be a factor in her recovery.
Powers: Vanilla human female in early 20s but is a trained and expert archer and is trained in a few other fighting styles/weapons. She's also in amazing shape and is smarter than she looks at times.
