AlliterativeName: Theodore Thaddeus Thatch III

TheAtoner: Theo Created the Machines that were responsible for a lot of suffering, and is tearing himself apart trying to atone.

ApronMatron: Eliza seems to be the one the Urchins go to when they need help.

ASexuality: WordOfGod states that Theo is on the Asexual spectrum.(Though not completely averse, see WhatIsThisFeeling)

BadLiar: Oh Theo. You're not very good at telling a fib.

BlatantLies: Sparks on the other hand...

BewareTheNiceOnes: Mr. Thatch Can serve up a cold, calculated dispatching to anything that threatens those he loves.

FauxAffablyEvil: A very False friend, but he has a harder time disguising his lack of empathy.

FightingIrish: The Delacys

FieryRedHead: The Delacys again.

InsistentTerminology: Aarnan and Eliza are "Irish-Twins" (Siblings born within the same year), not Twins. (the fact that they are actually Irish is to blame for the confusion)

ParalyzingFearOfSexuality: If Theo's interaction with that prostitute is anything to go by.

ThirdWheel: Due to the fact Aarnan can't move when his mechanical components are being repaired, makes things awkward when Eliza decides to keep Theo company as he works.

SpeechImpediment / PorkyPigPronunciation: Theo Has t-t-trouble exp-expre- talking when he's f-flu- nervous. WordOfGod says it was much worse as a child.

ParentalSubstitute: Acts like a dad to the Urchins, going so far as to chide them for eating messily and wipe their face, before telling them it's past their bed-time.

MamaBear: Eliza takes on an Automaton with just a Cricket-Bat when she suspects it took one of the Urchins.

MoodSwinger: As mentioned under FieryRedHead Eliza can go from singing happily to bashing skulls to a protective and nurturing ApronMatron in a matter of minutes.

HairTriggerTemper: FieryRedHead that he is, the slightest thing will set Aarnan off, especially if he thinks he's not being taken seriously.

GasLighting: One of Spark's favorite tactics, though it helps that Theo is trusting and gullible.
