[name_f]Dorothea[/name_f] " [name_f]Thea[/name_f] " [name_f]Annie[/name_f] Hillenburg-Ralston (27) is Harriet’s youngest child, named after her grandmother [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f]. She knows [name_f]Samantha[/name_f] well. [name_f]Thea[/name_f] isn’t married but has been dating her boyfriend for three years. Her dad was wary of him at first because he has a criminal record but realized he’s changed his ways and welcomed him into the family. [name_f]Thea[/name_f] was terrified when she introduced her boyfriend, wondering how her dad would act. This business with the affair is revolting to [name_f]Thea[/name_f]. She couldn’t imagine ever doing something that could break up her family.
[name_f]Thea[/name_f] always loved hearing how her parents met, and it’s still a source of mirth. [name_f]Thea[/name_f] is very close to her grandmother [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] and loves stopping by to chat with her. [name_f]Dorothy[/name_f] has given her a recipe book that [name_f]Thea[/name_f] loves, and she’s determined to make everything in it. [name_f]Thea[/name_f] works at a bakery, and you can always smell pastries at her house. Thea’s sibling was the other person who knew about the affair. They helped [name_f]Mira[/name_f] tell [name_u]Walter[/name_u] a couple of weeks ago, which is why [name_u]Walter[/name_u] and [name_f]Levia[/name_f] are now attending couples therapy. [name_f]Thea[/name_f] inherited her mom’s calm and kind personality, but unlike her mom, she never allows herself to be walked over. Her dad’s boldness that she picked up certainly helps with this. [name_f]Thea[/name_f] doesn’t lose her temper often, but when she learned of the affair, [name_f]Thea[/name_f] practically went ballistic. Not only was [name_u]Walter[/name_u] an amazing older cousin to her, but she was close to his stepbrother as well.
