Teresia

Teresia is a character from the 2005 video game "Shadow of the Colossus". She is the human love interest of the protagonist, Wander. Teresia is depicted as being in a deathlike slumber, a condition that Wander seeks to reverse by defeating sixteen colossal beings known as Colossi. Her body is laid upon an altar in a forbidden shrine, and Wander believes that by completing his quest, he can awaken her. While her presence is the driving force behind Wander's actions, Teresia herself is largely passive throughout the game, serving as the ultimate goal for Wander's perilous journey. Her fate after the events of the game is left ambiguous, though the ending suggests a potential resurrection. Teresia has become a memorable figure in video game lore, embodying themes of love, sacrifice, and desperation.
