Theo is a hopeless romantic, someone who believes in soulmates and believes there is "the one" somewhere out there. It's not something he's open about, but it is a huge influence in his life and dictates his behavior. He projects a cheerful demeanor while on the inside he feels broken. Earlier in his life and unlife he used to be an idealist, but he quickly learned that Ravnos often aren't welcome and that he can trust nobody but himself. Nowadays he just commits crimes without a second thought, justifying it to himself as his only way of surviving. He loves the trope of the manic pixie dream girl, hoping to find such a woman for himself. That's why he is drawn to "quirky" women. When meeting such a person he feels compelled to tell fabrications about himself to try to seem like the perfect partner for his current love interest, driven by irrational fears that his real self won't be enough for his imagined soulmate. All of his relationships are shallow and short-lived as the deception unravels. He might show up unannounced and uninvited at the homes or workplaces of love interests, driven by obsessive thoughts about "fate" bringing them together. Borderline stalking behavior could emerge. As an avid reader, Theo loves classic romance novels, and fairytales. While the real world is a harsh place, he loves losing himself in the ideal worlds of fantasy.

He is playful, mischievous, cocky, witty, quick thinking, crafty, creative, mythomaniac, a dreamer, a bragger, a trickster and survivalist who has learned to unapologetically look out for himself because he often can't rely on others.

He will outwardly appear carefree and approachable while hiding his true intentions and feelings. Theo feels a strong impulsive, compulsive urge to lie even when there is no clear benefit to lying or necessity to conceal the truth. Lies may seem transparent or easily disproven, but he feels compelled to lie anyway.
