Thea was born to mutant parents that were part of an earlier generation of X-Men. Even after they “retired” they continued to help mutants disappear from troubling situations. Thea attended Xavier’s school for her entire educational career. Her father came back from a mission one day when Thea was fifteen and told her that her mother had offered herself to Sentinel Services in order to give dozens of others a chance to escape and instead of being incarcerated, her mother was killed in front of them. Her dad locked himself away for several days and then emerged, packed and ready to go. He said he was going on assignment and would be back soon but Thea could tell that he didn’t plan on coming back. She tried to get him to let her come too but he insisted she needed to finish school.
It was by complete accident that Thea came across the file from that day. It was signed and dated by her father and the report proved that the story her father had told her had been a lie. Sentinels didn’t kill her mother, he had. When they took her into custody, he used her necklace to strangle her ‘as per her request.’ Upon reading this, Thea’s hysteria inadvertently caused mass damage to a section of the school to the point where she had to be tranquilized for several days so she could calm down. She was never the nicest or friendliest girl but after that day she became volatile.
By the time Octavian formed the XR she’d gone from volatile to mostly tolerable. She was planning on joining his cause anyway but the final push was when her father returned. Thea could see no way that they could be in the same place and both survive, so she immediately offered her services to Octavian and hasn’t seen her dad since.
