History
Thoma was born in 2038 and was sent to Plantation 3 a year later in 2039, growing up alongside Lani and several other children.

Introduction Arc
Taking daily tests, playing a game of tag, eating scrumptious homemade food and having a good time – Thoma went through the same routine every day in Grace Field House.

Thoma was first seen playing tag with his siblings of the Grace Field House, where he was almost immediately caught by Norman. A few days later, during a game of tag, he was caught by Krone along with Nat, Lani, and Anna.

Jailbreak Arc
It is revealed that he, along with Nat, Anna, and Lani was brought into the escape plan after Don and Gilda. Thoma was seen being horrified when Isabella carried Emma with a broken leg, to which he understood that it was Isabella's doing. During the two months after Norman's shipment, Thoma and his siblings got instructions from Emma on how to train the orphans for the upcoming escape. Thoma also assisted in the escape, making a decoy for Ray and fastening the zip lines in order to cross the cliff. On January 15, 2046, Thoma and his siblings escape from Grace Field House.

Thoma is a young boy with grey-bluish eyes, a wide smile and one missing tooth. He has short dark blue hair which sticks up in three oval sections at the top of the right side of his head, and the bottom of his left side. On the left side of his neck, he has the identifying number "55924" from his time at Grace Field House.

Personality
Thoma appears to be a mischievous boy and enjoys pulling pranks along with Lani. He is also resourceful as he invented a water-bottle rope device which played a big part in the escape, enabling the orphans to escape from Grace Field House. Although he is a bit cowardly and blunt, he has a strong will and cares deeply for his family.

Lannion
Lani is Thoma's best friend ever since they met at Grace Field House. They are always seen together, and whatever they do; playing, pulling pranks, inventing things, or running away from demons, they do together.

Emma
Thoma is close to Emma and views her as an older sister. Although he looks up to her as their leader, he also likes to mess with her and pull pranks on her.

Ray
Thoma cares for Ray and admires him as an older brother. He was against Ray's plan to die and therefore worked hard to prevent it.
