Thomas
Arriving the day after Thomas, Teresa is the only girl to have ever come to the Glade. Most of the Gladers catcall and insult her because she is a girl, but she challenges their sexist attitudes by proving herself to be a self-confident, bold, and capable young woman. Able to take any of the boys in a fight and not afraid to speak her mind, she becomes a close friend and ally to Thomas. She and Thomas can also communicate telepathically. Although she too has no memories, Teresa suggests that their telepathy may be the result of a close, possibly romantic relationship that they had shared prior to their arrival in the Glade.

Like I have all these shelves in my head, labeled for memories and faces, but they’re empty. As if everything before this is just on the other side of a white curtain. Including you.”

Thomas shook his head. “No, you don’t get it. They’re weeding us out, seeing if we’ll give up, finding the best of us. Throwing variables at us, trying to make us quit. Testing our ability to hope and fight. Sending Teresa here and shutting everything down was only the last part, one more...final analysis. Now it’s time for the last test. To escape.”
