"If I ever ignore you when you wanna shoot some breeze, try callin' for 'Rumrunner Theo', or just shout 'IRS' as loud as you can."​

Name: Theresa "Theodore" Levy
Appearance: Has an ever-changing fashion sense and ability to swap styles at the literal drop of a hat. Has a scar near the eye, but doesn't really mind or is troubled by it since it's the symbol of being a crime lord (self-proclaimed).
Dialogue Colour Hex Code: #a10a0a
Age: 20
Before Schism Origin: 1929, New York, USA

Biography: Born to a pair of saloon owners, Theresa has a relatively uneventful childhood. She had a dramatic flare and caused a bit of mischief, but nothing too out of the ordinary for children being children. This was until prohibition hit and her parents were forced to close their saloon. With her father crippled from that war (the one that is supposed to end all wars) and the family business shut, Theresa was abandoned as a teenager after prohibition plummeted her family into poverty, or perhaps it's more apt to say she ran away from home.

Although the initial period was difficult, Theresa eventually found a place as a performer. Her natural penchant for the stage as well as her ability to mimic various kinds of voices, from pitched opera to low baritone jazz, allowed her to take on multiple roles and perform eccentric, comedic "one-man shows" that were enjoyed by the youth who gathered in underground speakeasies and Vaudeville theaters. Her stage name "Theresa 'Theodore'" came to be as she was a quite convincing impersonator, even of men, to the point where many of her audience were convinced of such.

As the roaring twenties roared on, Theresa began to struggle to live up to the glitz and glamour of showbiz. Buying with credit, Hollywood, mass-produced goods, and illegal alcohol were all the rage. Her success was passable but mediocre. However, after she noticed that many regulars and suppliers of speakeasies are able to pay off extravagant fines for violating prohibition laws through bootlegging alcohol, the still basically a teenager (that concept didn't really exist back then) Theresa decided that perhaps bootlegging is the business to be in.

And hence, the impeccable acting skills, ability to rapidly change wardrobe and voice mimicry began to aid the performer in dodging prohibition agents and police officers rather than on stage. Theresa and her new alter ego "Theodore" became caught up in one of many of New York's alcohol smuggling gang operations. As criminal debauchery climbed in America so did her wealth, and the amount of danger this line of work brought. Many don't meet the greatest end, Theresa included. After being surrounded by lawmen in an abandoned attic while other gang members were shot or arrested, the might as well still be a teenager Theresa considered the options of being shot, spending a good half of a decade behind bars, or just shooting herself when something quite unusual happened…

Personality:
Glitz, glamour, gumption, and guile, that is the MO for surviving in the world of underground alcohol bootlegging, and Theresa certainly has those qualities going as far as she did. She has a natural confidence in whatever she says and a cunningness that makes those words seem true. Being hardened by the criminal underbelly of New York, she's street smart and often a bit ruthless, being constantly drunk on literal and metaphorical atmosphere. Being rather "fun-loving" or "curious" to put it nicely and "thrill-seeking" to put it less nicely, she often does impulsive things (like deciding to join a gang on a whim), but if it's an impulsive thing she's into, she gets really into it serious mode doesn't even begin to describe it.

But all the party-going, stage-performing, and crime-doing in the world doesn't really net one genuine connection. Theresa, in many ways, is quite lonely, as the occupation of celebrity or criminal isn't exactly lifelong friendship forging. Her rampant cross-dressing and lack of any form of love life often raised eyebrows as well, but she also noticeably keeps her distance with other women as well. Despite her seemingly outgoing nature, most of her relationships are rather superficial and transient. She herself also never stopped to consider the issue in that, as she actively forms relationships for mostly superficial reasons anyways.

Interests:
Brewing - Perhaps more aptly called moonshining at the time, there's nothing like some diluted rubbing alcohol for some safe family fun.

Theater - Life's a stage, the dark underbelly of one of the most crime-ridden periods of a nation is a stage, another dimension is also a stage.

Accounting - Despite not being very book smart or having gotten much education, she believes in the importance of math and accounting because it's the only way to ward off the IRS.

Tax Evasion - The most tasteful of crimes and the most difficult crime to get away with, badge of a smooth criminal. Taxation is theft.

Fears:
Law Enforcement - Whether it's the police, prohibition agents, or even the IRS. Actually, scratch that, especially the IRS. Hardly much of her life was spent as a law-abiding citizen, but neither was most people's during prohibition.

Poverty - It's what happens when one is rich, then poor, then rich from dubious means. She really dodged a bullet with the Great Depression.

Governments - If your government banned alcohol you might feel the same too. Extends to politicians and stupid voters (more scorn than fear really). She never got the memo that said women could vote now.

Skills:
Disguise - Can disguise herself and others with make-up and costuming skills to a certain degree depending on the resources, and can also change wardrobes rather quickly for a "disappearing" act.

Voice Imitation - Is capable of mimicking the voice tones of others after hearing enough to get the gist, although it might not be perfect it's rather impressive and could fool those who aren't very familiar with the imitated.

Parkour - Well, the word won't be invented until a couple of decades later, but sometimes you gotta jump a window or an automobile to escape some prohy.

Firearms - Tommy guns, revolvers, and Molotov cocktails. She names all of them, even the Molotov cocktails, as fleeting as they are.

Zeta Squad Relationships: TBD
