tw(s) ahead: mentions of mother/daughter conflict, parent death.
it had been a dark and stormy night ; flashes of light appear so bright against the twilight of a thunderstorm while the Heavens broke to release a torrent of rain. violent gust of wind swept up the streets, rattling along the housetops, and fiercely agitating the light of the lamps that struggled against the darkness. lightning reflects the pain of the mother as she tries to hold off bringing her child into the world and desperatly ignores the growing agony, and specifically in the back of a taxicab without an epidural and screaming at her husband that it wasn’t supposed to be this way, that their child was never supposed to be a hurricane baby.
clare, superstitious in nature, believes that is why thalia had such a rebellious spirit and argumentative mind. being born in a storm made her little girl so quarrelsome and feisty, which thalia would reply that she is the way she is because thalia had clare for a mother. they had a complicated relationship. there were times when thalia speculated that clare didn’t love her only daughter, due to unnecessarily cruel words that were thrown her way. mother and daughter constantly fought, constantly got on each other’s nerves, and never saw eye-to-eye. to make matters worse, thalia would casually admit to partying with the crowd clare didn’t approve of, but she would never explain that before the rave, thalia was in the heart of san fransico, helping feed the homeless, and learning how to be a humanitarian with the people clare judged so harshly when she first met them in their dark, grungy clothes.
by the time she was fourteen in 1981, thalia was couch surfing while doing odd jobs to keep herself afloat. dishwashing, babysitting, dog walking, holding signs for businesses. once she graduated from high school in 1984, having gone to just enough classes to receive her diploma, she informed her parents that she wasn’t going to college and instead was going to travel. of course, clare was incredibly disappointed and offended to the point where she began to think of a last resort idea that would get her daughter’s life on track. her father was sad she was going, but knew his daughter needed the time and space to figure out what she wanted in life. though, just before she was going to leave, thalia was involved in a few accidents that landed her in hot water with the law.
shortly after, thalia was sent to a camp for trouble youths that was located ten hours away from san fransico where she stayed for four months. when she came home, thalia was noticeably attentive, but her opinionated mind and smart mouth was something no one had been able to tame while she was at the camp. by the time she was out of the camp, she wanted to firmly put the experience behind her. breaking into her early twenties, thalia began to rebuild her relationship with her parents. it was a little harder to do that with her mother, though slowly but surely, they began listening to one another instead of fighting. that isn’t to say an argument never broke out again, they’re much too alike, after all. when it came to theodore, thalia decided to take up one of his favourite hobbies with him, gardening. with their new favourite past time, thalia began to realize what a quiet, self-reflecting, and wise man her father was. at the age of twenty-three, thalia decided that she wanted to bring up the idea of travelling again. despite not knowing much about what was out there, thalia knew that life was short, and she wanted to experience as much of it as she could. this time, thalia came to the table that when she eventually made her way back to san fransico, she would get a job her parents would be proud of. she left that same summer.
it’s 1995 and thalia is twenty-eight when she finally comes home. unfortunatly, she didn’t keep up her end of the deal and continued working odd jobs with none of them lasting more then four months. it wasn’t until one afternoon where she was gardening with her father that she had the idea to do this to other people’s lawns and gardens who didn’t like yardwork or give her services to people who couldn’t for disability, health or age reasons. thalia did all of this at half the cost and with her own two hands the dealt with every rock, tree, and plant with delicate care. it helped that her creativity was never a weak point, and with her eye for aesthetics and knowledge from tavelling, thalia created spaces that were unlike any other. her name quickly spread.

finally on her feet and looking ahead to her future, thalia felt like things were finally looking up. she was out of her parents home, had a business tha twas thriving, and of course she was still out during all hours of the night. this time thalia didn’t have clare in her ears telling her irrisponsble she was being.
it was during one of these nights where she met henry stafford. he was goodlooking, charming and arrogant. thalia had fun making him run for his money and putting in in his place when she could. it never took them long to make it back to one of their beds.
they hooked-up a few times and it clear from the beginning that it was never going to be more than that which both parties were fine with. though, it's not long before thalia figures out she's pregnant. when she goes to henry to tell him the news, he’s indifferent. to bruise her ego even more, his family gives Thalia hush money to not say anything about the child when she tells them she won’t have an abortion, but due to her own lifestyle and knowing she wasn’t going to be able to take care of the child, had decided to put the baby up for adoption. then, knowing she won’t be able to hide her growing sympomts and belly for long, thalia tells her family about the situation. they're disappointed, but they stand by thalia and her decision.
thalia’s father passes away unexpedely one night after having a heart attack.
thalia finds a couple who reside in australia who were looking to adopt. thalia and the couple make plans for the young woman to come to australia for a month so that she could get to know the people who planned on adopting the child she was going to give birth to. not wanting to go by herself, she asked desmond to accompany her on the trip and like the dutiful big brother that he is, he said yes.

Thalia has always had a large social network. She loves indulging in conversations and getting to know people. some people can have a difficult time with Thalia's stubborn and unyeilding personality and often, Thalia will no longer desire to do something that she was going to do simply because another person suggested it to her. She values simplicity, certainty, and honesty. She has a sense of humour that she gives out freely and when someone needs a good laugh. She's willing to make a fool out of herself to make someone esle feel better.
