Description

Theodora was raised in the same household as her sister Serena — the same polished floors, the same expectations, the same careful grooming for a life of elegance and accomplishment. She loves Serena genuinely and admires her grace. She has even, on occasion, borrowed Serena's style. She carries her bouquet.

But Theo has a secret, and it is a well-worn paperback. While Serena is planning seating charts, Theo is somewhere quiet with Wuthering Heights, reading the same passage for the fourth time and feeling deeply understood by it. She is as smart as anyone in any room she enters. She simply prefers not to make a scene about it.

Her family has plans. A career. A debut. A trajectory befitting a rabbit of her background. Theo nods at all of it very pleasantly and then goes back to Jane Eyre. What she will actually do with her life remains, at this point, entirely open — and she is privately delighted by that.

Sister to Serena — raised together, wildly different

On the glaze: Theodora's head and body are rendered in deep black engobe — matte, serious, with a quiet intensity. Her dress is green tea glaze, a soft sage that pools and shifts across the folds of fabric, elegant without trying. Her ears are lined in cream. Her eye is a single striking blue that gives her the look of someone who has just thought of something important. She holds a rich rust-brown bouquet — her one concession to the world's expectations of beauty.
