Description
Teresa Beria is a Serbian Orthodox nun at St. Mihailov Academy, performing routine duties like tending the institution’s flower garden and caring for kindergarten children. She has light blond hair reaching her chin, green eyes, pale skin, and typically wears a nun’s gown. A distinctive trait involves two locks of hair on her head that behave like puppy ears, perking up when excited or happy and drooping when embarrassed or sad.
Her background traces to the Yugoslav Wars, where she lost her parents and was adopted by a Serbian Orthodox convent in Krajina. There, she formed a close bond with Sister Wilma, who became a maternal figure and taught her gardening. This peaceful period ended when Croatian militiamen led by Croa attacked the convent, slaughtering its inhabitants. Teresa witnessed the massacre, including Wilma’s death, while hiding inside a closet. The trauma left her emotionally catatonic, unable to express feelings or speak, and instilled a lasting fear of confined spaces.
Rescued years later, Teresa’s emotional recovery began through her association with Alexander "Sasha" Nikolaevich Hell. With his support, she confronted and helped eliminate Croa, avenging the convent massacre. This act enabled her to smile for the first time in years, marking the initial step in her emotional healing. Despite being an ordinary human without elemental powers, she developed proficiency in combat, utilizing archery, concealed blades in her gown, and hand-to-hand techniques. Her skills proved vital in missions, such as freeing allies with precise arrow shots.
Initially serving as Sasha’s "Maria" by providing him with Soma, Teresa harbored unspoken affection for him, occasionally leading to shyness during their interactions. After Shinichiro Ootori’s death, she transitioned to partnering with Elizabeth "Lizzie," becoming her primary Soma provider. Her personality evolved from near-total stoicism to gradual openness through bonds with friends like Tomo Yamanobe and Mafuyu Oribe. While still reserved, she demonstrated loyalty by allowing herself to be captured to protect comrades and began expressing subtle emotions, often mirrored by her reactive hair tufts.
She maintains St. Mihailov’s garden as a tribute to Wilma’s memory, symbolizing her enduring connection to her past and ongoing emotional recovery.
