Biography
Theodore was born in Brooklyn, New York. Theodore's mother left his family when he was a sophomore in High School, which resulted in Theodore becoming cold and distant. His father ended up picking up extra shifts as a New York City Police Officer in Brooklyn, while his sister Karen dropped out of college to provide a motherly role for Theodore's younger siblings. Theodore currently lives in the NYCHA (New York City Housing Authority) projects in Brooklyn.

Theodore channels his frustration of his mother leaving through his writing, but it's frowned upon when Emilina finds his writing 'disturbing'. His English Professor suggests Theodore finds another outlet for his anger, even going as far as suggesting Glee Club. Theodore is able to join Glee Club without an audition after his professor talks to Marley regarding the situation.

Theodore initially is hesitant about Glee Club but warms up to the task, eventually becoming friends with most of his teammates. However, Theodore continues to clash with Emilina, which is later found out to be a crush on his end. Theodore becomes jealous when Emilina starts dating Jason Cross, who is competing against Finn Harmonic during Sectionals. But when Emilina reveals she was taken advantage of, Theodore provides comfort--until it's revealed Emilina is pregnant with Jason's baby.

Theodore realizes Emilina never told her father about the baby and takes it upon himself to do so--with serious consequences.

Theodore-Emilina Relationship (Theolina)
The Theodore-Emilina relationship is the budding romantic relationship between Theodore Patrick Harris and Emilina Hawthorne. Emilina is originally repulsed by Theodore, especially since he writes dark short stories. Their banter is usually the highlight of Glee Club, with the two of them spewing insults at each other.

However, that changes when Emilina is smitten in Jason Cross. Theodore begins to feel jealousy, and eventually is upset when he finds out Emilina is pregnant with Jason's child. Theodore is even more surprised when he finds out Jason doesn't want anything to do with the child. Theodore ends up telling Emilina's father about the child, unbeknownst of Emilina.
