HER STORY (under the cut because LONG):
PRE-MOVIE:
About a year prior to the events of Promare, rumors began to circulate among the Burnish of a new type of boogeyman known as The Freezish: a super soldier infused with the latest anti-Burnish technology. They’re deployed with Freeze Force during raids of Mad Burnish hideouts, quickly & ruthlessly freezing any they deem dangerous. Very few Burnish have faced them & lived to talk about it. Among those few though are Mad Burnish leaders Guiera & Meis, the only ones able to best the Freezish in combat, having come close to killing them on numerous occasions.
The Freezish was kept secret from the general public, until one day...
FIGHT AT FORSIGHT PHARMACEUTICAL:
The Freezish arrives with Vulcan after Galo & Lio’s fight. When Vulcan attempts to arrest Galo for interfering with a Freeze Force operation, the Freezish backs up Ignis’ statement of Burning Rescue having authority during a Mad Burnish attack. After Vulcan backs off, they check in on Galo to make sure he’s alright & Galo thanks them for their concern, offering the Freezish a fist bump & asking if they have a name. Before they can respond though, the Freezish is called away.
(NOTE: Galo & Lio have each had their own separate encounters with the Freezish by this point.)
CAVE SCENE:
Later, the Freezish is sent to track the Burnish that escaped from the containment facility & finds their hiding place just as Galo does. After watching him get captured, they sneak into the cave with the intent of rescuing him only to discover the wounded Burnish. Horrified at the state they’re in, Thiya sheds her armor and watches as Lio & Galo converse. After the Burnish leave Galo behind, she emerges from the shadows and unties him.
She asks him to hold off on talking to Kray so she can confront him first. Galo, not recognizing her without her armor, is skeptical. Thiya reveals that she’s the Freezish by making a mini matoi out of ice & also tells him her name. Galo agrees to let her confront Kray first but says that if he doesn’t hear from her with 24 hours, he’ll go see Kray himself. Thiya agrees & gives him the frozen matoi in exchange for not telling anyone her real name.
LIO ATTACKS THE CITY:
After this, things happen as they do in the movie: Galo confronts & is locked up by Kray, Freeze Force attacks the Burnish settlement (the Freezish being mysteriously absent), everyone is captured except for Lio, & he goes on a rampage to get them back.
The Freezish tries to stop Lio from attacking Kray Foresight but is swatted away by his dragon.
FINDING DEUS’ LAB / EXPOSITION DUMP / THE TRUTH REVEALED:
Once Lio is calmed down, the Freezish appears & tries to arrest him but is stopped by Galo, who calls her by her real name. When Thiya demands how he knows this information, he shows her the frozen matoi she gave him. It’s revealed that Thiya has no memory of what happened in the cave, with her saying the last thing she remembers is giving Kray her report on the pharmaceutical fight. She’s shocked to learn it’s been over a week since then.
The group is then interrupted by a hologram & everyone heads inside on its request. As they descend deeper into the lab, Thiya explains that the hologram is of the late Deus Prometh, a world-renowned scientist & one of the first experts on Burnish biology, along with being one of the few people defending Burnish rights. She tells them that a few months after the Great World Blaze began, Deus’ house was attacked by Mad Burnish extremists, but since he wasn’t home at the time, only his wife & daughter were killed; the wife dying instantly & the daughter succumbing a few days later to horrific burn wounds. This was a catalyst in mass Burnish distrust & anti-Burnish laws were passed soon after.
Aina remembers her sister, who was a student of Deus’ shortly before his death, mentioning that his daughter’s name was Thiya. Without much prompting, & reasoning that no one would believe them anyway, Thiya confirms that she is Deus Prometh’s daughter & that her father secretly had her cryogenically frozen & spent the next twenty years working on synthetic skin & organs for her alongside his research on the Burnish. Thiya explains that her father died in an accident before he could finish & she was found by Kray Foresight, who she says saved her & gave her purpose. Once everyone arrives in the main laboratory, Thiya angrily asks her father how he could experiment on his daughter with neither her knowledge nor consent.
Deus tells her that she did give him her consent via an artificial intelligence he created by downloading a copy of the then comatose Thiya’s consciousness (a sort of backup plan in case he couldn’t fix her physical wounds) that was supposed to be downloaded into her brain after he was finished with her repairs. The A.I. of Thiya promptly makes herself known & introduces herself to the group.
This warmer, more laid-back version of Thiya reveals that she agreed to becoming a cyborg, but that her father only created artificial limbs & skin & had nothing to do with her Freezish enhancements. By replaying her memories on the screens, A.I. Thiya shows the group that the incident resulting in Thiya’s burns was accidentally caused by her mother’s Burnish awakening, with her mother turning to ashes almost immediately afterwards due to a “broken heart” (heart attack) & the Mad Burnish were used as a scapegoat so the government would have an excuse to pass anti-Burnish laws. She then shows them the footage of Kray killing Deus.
Distraught, Thiya has a severe mental breakdown in which she tries to commit suicide (but is stopped by the others) before passing out. Thiya’s A.I. instructs the group to put her into a charging pod so that they can look into her buried memories. It turns out that after leaving Galo in the cave, Thiya confronted Kray about the Burnish & he immediately had her memory wiped, with the last thing she heard before the wipe being Kray complaining about how much she’s like her father & that since it’s not the first time he’s had to have her memory wiped, she was to be put in stasis until the Parnassus launched, upon which she was to be lobotomized. Thiya was only brought out of stasis early by one of Kray’s lackeys in a blind panic when Lio attacked Promepolis.
Thiya’s A.I. decides to merge her programming with the current Thiya’s in the hopes of creating a more hopeful version of herself that isn’t psychologically shattered. While she’s doing that, Deus tells the others about the Promare & by the time he’s finished, the merger is complete & a still unconscious Thiya is put into Aina’s ship.
FINAL FIGHT AGAINST KRAY:
Thiya wakes up sometime during Kray & Lio de Galon’s fight. She appears out of nowhere to stop Lio from attacking a goading Kray & throws him back into the Promotech pod with Galo, having seemingly gone back to Kray’s side. When Kray goes to thank her, she freezes him from the neck down without a word. She prepares to kill Kray herself only for him to burst from her ice & grab her, revealing he too is Burnish. Thiya is left so terrified by this that she barely moves until Kray reveals that he was the one who set Galo’s house on fire as a child.
Enraged at Kray’s cruelty, she breaks free from his grip & puts up a barrier to protect Galo & Lio, telling them to go on ahead while she fights Kray. Thiya does everything she can to slow Kray down, including taking hits that were meant for Galo or Lio, but is eventually knocked out. When she wakes up, she’s in...
THE ENGINE ROOM
Thiya wakes up to see Kray tying Lio up to the Promotech pod & tries to stop him, but Kray impales her before she can do anything. Kray gleefully shows her the “fruits of her labor” & how he couldn’t have rounded up all the Burnish if it wasn’t for her help. Heartbroken, Thiya notices that Galo’s nowhere to be seen & Kray tells her he killed him before turning on the engine. Thiya passes out & doesn’t see Galo save Lio.
I’ll make another post later where I’ll go into detail on what might happen to Thiya if she survives the events of Promare.

Thiya stares at the napping firefighter with a seemingly cold expression for a few seconds before sighing and grabbing a nearby blanket. After making sure no one is watching, she drapes the blanket over him with a flourish and quickly tucks it around his form.
She takes a second to admire her work, the smallest of smiles beginning to grace her features before she forces it back down into a blank look of neutrality and going back to work.

"You're not as bad as everyone says you are." Galo... didn't think this one through.
"People have been talkin' shit about me?"
"Maybe I am... Maybe I'm not..." Thiya gave a world-weary sigh. "Honestly, I don't know if I really care anymore...Nothing really matters anyway."
Someday, she'd tell Galo about the joy she'd felt striking down those she'd believed at the time to be beneath her. And how she wants to feel sorry for it, but no matter how hard she tries...a part of her just...can't. Not for something that made her feel so, so good.
Thiya was so taken aback by Galo’s first guess that she couldn’t help but throw her head back and laugh.
“If I were a Burnish, Lio & his boys might actually give me the time of day!”
Her relationship with the former terrorist group was...tense, to put it mildly. While they'd currently set aside their differences to help with the relief effort, that didn't mean there still wasn't a lot of bad blood between them. Whenever Thiya walked into a room the trio were occupying, they'd get up and move somewhere else, or glare at her until she left. She didn't blame them, and if they had any empathy whatsoever (and she knew Lio had some), they wouldn't blame her for giving them the same treatment.
Suddenly realizing that Galo could take her laughter as a mockery of his intelligence, Thiya quickly calmed down.
"Sorry about that, you just caught me off guard. Although now that I think about it, I can see why you would think that. The name would suggest some relation to the Burnish, but that's really the only similarity between us."
It was cute watching the gears turn in Galo's head and she rewarded him with a gentle smile when he came to the obvious conclusion.
'Super cool ice powers'...That was sweet.
"You act as if I no longer have them..." She picked up her glass of water and held it up for Galo to see.
"Since I'm not a Burnish, I can still do this." She released the slightest bit of her power and frost immediately covered the outside of the glass, just short of freezing the liquid entirely.
She wasn't entirely sure why the Burnish had lost her powers, but it sounded like it was related to something extraterrestrial, which fascinated her immensely.
"I'm not allowed to use my powers outside of work, otherwise I would give you more of a demonstration," she shrugged, "Sorry."
She took a sip of her drink as Galo continued.
"Thank you. It's not that I don't want to talk about it, I want the whole world to know what happened to me, it's just that the higher ups don't want me saying anything until the trials start..." Thiya sighed before muttering, mostly to herself, "Whenever the Hell that is."
She leaned back and gave Galo a sympathetic look.
"It's only natural for you to be curious, I would be too, and I won't stop you from asking more questions. If something's too personal or confidential, I'll tell you."
Get to know her? Well, why didn't he say so?
"Fair enough, as long as I can get to know you too. Like, what exactly's the deal with this whole 'matoi' thing?"
Previously, Galo had been hunched over some project, tinkering away. Currently, Galo was skittering excitedly toward the glass in question, mouth forming an o as the ice crinkled and formed. Sputters slipped free of his mouth then, verbally trying to piece together his belated response and a current one, but failing to form an altogether new one. Galo was, at least before his moment, pretty sure that any and all magical-element-related-powers were sealed away! Poofed, vanished, gone, but... there was one now, right in front of him.
Was referring to it as singular accurate? Galo didn't really know, but what he did know was how awesome it was. A gloved finger tapped on the glass... but, these gloves were cold and fire resistant, so Galo couldn't feel much of a difference, but that gesture felt right to make.
“What the heck?! I thought -- we thought -- everyone thought that these were gone! Or, uh, the Promare, but... these aren't the Promare, right?” at least, Galo thought that was what he was supposed to get outta' this talk, if his questioning glance was any indication. “Then... does that mean you've gotta' alien inside you, too?”
Honestly, a part of him wished Lio, Meis or Gueira were here, maybe they could make sense out of this. Oh right, that's what they were talking about—
“Lio, Meis 'n Gueira aren't that hard to talk to! But they can be hard to catch sometimes, they've been keeping busy. We all have,” frankly, Galo hasn't had free time like this in awhile. “Just takes some time. Plus, you guys have a history, right?”
Wait, that goes against the no-asking-too-much thing he spoke about earlier. Muttering an apology, Galo sank into the seat just beside her, folding one leg under the other. Seems that everything's complicated now... Kray, firefighting, emphasis on the 'fire,' because apparently it was fire but only kinda-sorta-fire, Thiya, Mad Burnish, Lio, the world, even. Galo didn't have time to dwell on it, with half of the city requiring repairs and Matoi being out of commission.
It was nice, he thought.
“You like music too?! Cool! I like mus...” were he a dog in this moment, his ears would be perked up, tail wagging. “What's the deal with Matoi?! Uh, everything?! Matoi Tech encompasses every technique used by ancient firefighters brought into the modern era! That's where the name Matoi originated! And! And she has a music player built in, too!”
Thiya found Galo's wide eyed, almost childlike curiosity and wonder something she could easily get used to. It was a big step-up from the looks of revulsion and terror people usually gave her when demonstrating her powers...granted, most of those instances usually involved life-or-death combat against opponents much weaker than her.
Her small self-satisfied smirk dropped when Galo's gloved fingertip touched the glass.
"Be careful, you don't want this touching your bare skin." She quickly pulled the glass out of his reach. "You could get instant frostbite. I shouldn't have even demonstrated with something like this in the first place. I'm sorry."
Internally chastising herself, she stood up and went to the kitchenette at the other side of the firehouse's common area. She quickly got to work filling the sink with room temperature water and submerging the glass.
"If by 'history', you mean 'constantly trying to kill each other', then yes, we do." Her brow furrowed at Galo's apology. "It's okay, really. There's nothing wrong with asking questions."
"And don't let anyone try to convince you otherwise, understand, Thiya?"
"Yes, papa, I understand."
A blink and she was snapped back to reality. Been a long time since she'd had a flashback...That probably wasn't good...Eh, who cared?
"What's a Promare?" Something about that word sound a little familiar, but she barely had time to think about it before Galo said something she never would've guessed in a million years.
"Alien? What do you mean, alien?" She tilted her head quizzically. "I think if I had a xenomorph or something in my chest-"
Wait...
She didn't like interrupting Galo in the middle of his passionate speech about his matoi (still wasn't quite sure what that was yet), but holy shit, did he really just say-
"Whoa, whoa, whoa! Back UP!" Before she knew it, she'd bounded across the room to Galo and was gripping his shoulders, trying very hard not to shake him with minimal success." 'Too'? What do you mean, 'too'?! Are you telling me aliens have something to do with the Burnish?!"
Which means-
"Aliens are REAL?!"
Her mind was reeling so much trying to process it, she felt dizzy. She slumped back onto the couch, bent over and clutching her head, her eyes screwed tightly shut.
"Holy shit...holy shit, holy shit, holy shit..."
Once she caught her breath, she looked at Galo and said, as calmly as she could,

Figures. Kray was a touchy subject for a lot of people, especially with all the dirt being dug up... somehow, despite seeing Kray Foresight at his worst, they kept finding out more stuff he had kept hidden, more people whose lives he had ruined, more people whose lives he had taken... there was a time Galo looked happily, expectantly at any television screen that had his face, but now, all Galo wanted to do was run. He didn't know he had that same effect on someone else, too.
“Kray said a lot of things,” Galo mumbled. “But, that's kinda' what I wanted to ask you about. I know lots about the Burnish -- not more than Lio, but I still know a lot! -- but before a few weeks ago, I'd never heard of a Freezish. Are yooou... uh, were you like, a Burnish too, just under a new name or somethin'?”
Freezish... Burnish... Burnish had weird little flame aliens, so that must mean...
“Did you have super cool ice powers?! Aw man, it would'a been awesome to see them play out in action! Hey, maybe you can give me a play by play sometime and I can try 'n reenact it with Matoi!”
Patting Matoi's exterior, Galo smiled proudly. Sure, she was still a little beat-up, but Galo had ... well, not had, rebuilding the city took a lotta work and all, but he could spare some free time knocking out all the bumps and scratches!
“It's fine if you don't wanna' talk about it. I just wanted to get to know you a little better, y'know? We're all gonna' be teaming up on this project, and I like to get to know my teammates! It took months to get Remi to open up, but now it's like I've known him forever!”
