Family
|
 ⇀ Luca [ Younger Brother ]
Theresa adores her younger brother. She's as much mother as sister to him, and felt it was her responsibility to keep him safe. She tried to make sure he grew up to be the sort of person his mother would approve of, and didn't want him to have to do the things she was forced. Even after she was taken in my Mercury she tried to shield him as much as she could form what she was doing, even though she knows that he suspects something. She's both proud of how smart he and yet sometimes curses it. She supports his ice skating because it kept him off the streets and gave him something else to focus on. Having her there also gave her somewhere to go home too, someone that served as an anchor so she didn't entirely lose herself and turn into the machine Mercury obviously wanted her to be.
She can be scarily overprotective of hims sometimes without realizing. As Dino told her once, she has no sense of proportion when it comes to keeping him safe.

 ⇀ Ann [ Mother ]
Theresa adored her stepmother and looked up to her a lot when she was younger. She thought the world of her, and loved that Ann let her join in everything that she was doing with Luca. Her lose cut deeper than Theresa really wants to admit.
|
⇀ Brendan [ Father ]
Theresa has very complicated feelings around her father. She remembers that kind man that taught her all sorts of things, who encouraged her and tired to make sure he did his best with her even when he clearly had no idea what he was doing. Then there's the man he became after their mother died, the haunted one who drifted in and out of their lives then finally abandoned them. After Mars' words she's started to wonder who her father really was again, and occasionally will search for information. So far it's turned up nothing but a part of her hopes there's something there. That there's more of an explanation behind him leaving them.

  ⇀ Dino [ Friend/lover/husband ]
Theresa loves Dino, and he's one of the most important people to her. Aside from Luca, he's the one person in the world she trusts the most. She feel she has to protect Luca, but with Dino she feels she has someone she can lean on. He's also the one that gave her a connection outside Mercury, the one thing she needed to finally push herself to be free of them. She feels she has a place with him, and that's beyond price for her. They didn't really hook up until after he'd helped her end the previous incarnation of Mercury, but they had gotten along before that. They're flirty and tease each other constantly. They talk forever and Dino makes her laugh. Plus she know she can rely on him in a fight if she ever needs it, something she hadn't really considered before. She tries to do what she can to support the Cavallone family. Dino see someone in her that matches him, and understands him in a way. They'll talk for hours sometimes, just the two of them. It's a connection neither of them expected but are happy about.
|
 ⇀ Romario [ Friend ]
Theresa has a good relationship with Romario. He's Dino's second so they can't exactly help interacting. He didn't trust her at first, because of the rather dramatic way she first met Dino. They've warmed up to each other over time though, and Romario seemed to be help her earn the trust of the other members of the Cavallone. Both of them want Dino to be happy at least, so that's something. He's one of the very few that know about the Arachne person, and he seems to almost enjoy hear about her escapes.
|
 ⇀ Ivan[ Friend ]
Because Ivan is the one that rescued her bother and brought him back to Cavallone mansion, Theresa can't help but feel a bit of a bond with him. They both try to support Luca ll they can, and she likes Ivan just because of that. Ivan in turn will support her with the rest of the Cavallone whenever someone grows unsure about the new girl and if she's good enough for their boss.

Vongola
|
 ⇀ Basil [ Acquaintance ]
The only reason Theresa is really familiar with Basil is he become Luca's friend during the time her brother was living with her and Dino. She wasn't sure she liked him hanging around Luca at first, or dragging him off into training. She saw the need to make sure he could defend himself, but thought Basil was making it more dangerous than he should be. Dino laughed and managed to get her calmed down, telling her it was a good thing for Luca to have friends his own age. She eventually agreed, but she still wasn't entirely happy about the arrangement.

Mercury
|
⇀ Mars [ Former Boss ]
Although grateful that Mars took her in at first, because it let her keep Luca off the streets, Theresa was always secretly intimidated by the man and more than a bit wary of him. He held her and her brother’s lives in his palm and to him all his agents were like chess pieces. You moved when and where he wanted you too, and you didn’t ask questions. All of Mercury’s core members were hand-picked by him, and trained especially to suit his needs. If you failed, or were caught, then he washed his hands of you unless you were very, very good. He liked to remind her of that, and what would become of Luca if she failed. Eventually fear began to resent and hatred of him, until in the end he pushed her to far. He was the one who had taught her how to fight back when you were cornered, after all.

⇀Veikka [ Friend/Former teammate ]
Veikka and Theresa always had something of a cautious relationship, since they came through their training together. They didn’t dare get too close though, not with Mars watching them. Still, they go along when they were on missions and there sense of trust. He was the first one to track down Theresa's location after she was injured, and he's the one that shot her a warning when their final mission together when south. He could have just took off and left her there, so she is grateful to him. He also had sense of honor, even though he was slightly odd. She had no problem with leaving the remains of Mercury to him because of that. They still stay in contact occasionally.
|
⇀ Francesa[ Former teammate ]
The other member of her team, along with Veikka. They got along fairly well, although Francesa wasn’t much of a talker. She was reliable though, and Theresa trusted her to watch her back. Very professional to the end, and didn't even blink when Theresa brought Mars down. Almost like she had expected it to happen at some point.
