Amalthea Stardust | Main Sona's Links
Though they had meet in a hostile situation, Thea was able to sooth the lonely dragon that had came to her forest. She promised him a friendship and in return they could protect the forest and the glade. Now, she could not think of her life without him and rarely is ever seen without him near. Though he sometimes reminds her she is no dragon, she does not mind the scorn every now and again for a companion as wonderful as him.
Once a very isolated dragon in a magical forest that wilted away, Alexios discovered Amalthea sometime after she had returned to her own forest. He wanted to claim her home for himself but instead they forged a friendship--eventually her becoming his rider. The bond between them now can not be severed even in death and he would lay down his life to protect her. Though he can sometimes be dry with her or even challenge her with his wit to frustrate the young unicorn, he thinks very fondly of her.
Thea was never sure why her and Cressida didn't have ground when she was younger but she assumed it was on the age gap between them and the role of importance Cressida was in. After she returned from the humans, she was quite the mess but Cressida was the one who comforted her and tried to convince her not all mortals were the same. Though it is a topic they still argue over, the two grew close through lessons and time in the Glade to the point Thea took over the Glade from her.
Sad to see a close friend leave, she still seeks her out for advice, comfort, and long conversations when she really needs someone who understands her. Cressida always seems available when she needs her most even though she's absent most of the time and Thea tries not to admit she sees her as nearly an older sister.
Cressida is very proud of Amalthea and considers her a great protector of the Glade in her place. The two of them were mildly close before Thea ended up in the human world but it was not until she returned did they really grow close. Soon, she taught her to take the mantel from her and now she visits and gives advice when Thea searches out for her though she mostly lives in the mortal realm now.
She considers her a deep friend and wishes the very best for her but she no longer feels like she belongs in the Glade with everyone else.
With the way time is pretty fluid in the glade, Tris and Thea and are closer in age then a lot of the other guardians. Because of this, they often spend time together on forest trail walks or working on magic when they both have time. While Tris has a love for the mortal world Thea despises, they find a happy compromise in the glade.
