#thea belacqua

[dream-beyond-the-fantasy]

Ooh, this is making me want to read your story even more.

In your response to my last question about Thea Belacqua, you stated that she was once friends with Marisa Coulter, forced into marriage to Lord Asriel, and became close with Lyra. Is Thea aware of Lyra's parentage?

Yes, she is. Marisa tells Thea everything about the affair because they're still close friends at that point. The fallout of the affair is the reason Thea and Asriel get married - Asriel, after being taken to court and losing his money, property, and power for killing Edward Coulter, attempts to regain it by marrying into a rich family. And Thea’s parents are desperate for her to get married and give up being researcher so, even though Asriel is disgraced, they accept his proposal.

Asriel and Marisa being Lyra’s parents is also the main driving force behind Thea getting to know Lyra in Oxford. Thea feels somewhat responsible for Lyra as her “aunt” and she sympathises with Lyra as they have both been abandoned by Marisa and Asriel. She never tells Lyra who her parents are, instead Thea tries to convince Asriel to say something and take responsibility. But obviously he doesn't. At least not until Lyra confronts him herself.

Thea sounds great. I would love to read this fic.

Hi, you're on my OC Creator Bingo card. Can you share 7 facts about Thea Belacqua?

Hi Bingo friend! Thank you so much for your asks! :)

Her daemon, Ollie, is a Common Dwarf Mongoose.

Her father's daemon, Camilla, is a Peregrine falcon. Her mother's daemon, Florian, is an Eastern American red fox.

She's an accomplished scholar and one of the few female members of the Royal Arctic Institute.

Thea is headstrong, ambitious, and independent. She rebels against traditional gender roles and follows her dream of becoming a scholar. She is also fascinated with flying and Lee often jokes that she loves his balloon more than him.

She used to be close friends with Marisa, but they don't talk anymore.

Her parents are very traditional and hate her aspirations to be a scholar. In an attempt to curb her curiosity and ambition, they marry her off to Asriel (Thea never forgives them for this).

Thea is left alone in Oxford when Asriel goes to the North to research Dust. In this time, she becomes close with Lyra and Roger.
