The person
Thea is a voracious reader of comics and graphic novels, but despite many crates of them to the contrary, does not consider herself a collector (not very good at keeping them in "mint condition.") She really enjoys exploring New Zealand, and (as all expats must) struggles internally with both wanting to brag to everyone about how great it is, and simultaneously wanting to keep it completely secret so they all stay away. Thea and her husband Jay are currently enjoying their sleep-ins, until the baby comes along and changes everything.
