Always nice to flex a little muscle. Even if everything else is starting to droop
— Golden Son, Chapter 6

Theodora was Darrow O'Lykos steward during his time in the Academy, working as his personal valet and social-advisor. She later joins The Rising.

Appearance[]

She is a Rose, a subset of highly-desired Pinks. Supposedly she is older than many Pinks, although the age-range for what is considered old for Pinks is unknown.

Skills[]

Involvement[]

Golden Son[]

She first appears in Golden Son, notably talking to Darrow as a friend rather than a superior. When Karnus au Bellona rams Darrow's ship, Theodora is wounded with a broken leg. Darrow carries her with him into his personal escape craft, to the dismay of some Gray soldiers.

At the Citadel on Luna, Theodora is met with disdain by the Pink stewards there until she mentions her friendship with Matron Carena, who was likely the stewards' mentor, to which they respond by hurrying away.

Later, we learn Darrow had Theodora spend half his bank account buying a Stratovarian violin from Quicksilver's auction house for Tactus au Rath, to make up for the violin Tactus' brothers broke when he was a boy. Tactus just looked at it and sold it later for Pinks and drugs - however, he changed his mind and didn't finalize the sale with the auction house, planning to perform a sonata for Darrow. Theodora wanted to go with Darrow and Victra au Julii to the Lost City on Luna to meet Adrius au Augustus, however Darrow didn't let her. Before the Gala Massacre, Theodora brings Darrow his suit, but for the first time ever makes a mistake and knocks over a glass of wine. Darrow sees terror in her eyes as she dishes out apologies. Darrow puts a comforting hand on her shoulder and she begins to cry, seeming like she can sense what's about to happen in the air.

After Darrow meets with the Sovereign, he worries that Theodora (along with Victra and Tactus) will perish by Praetorian death squads.
