About
One of the female students and volleyball players at South Park Elementary, Theresa's family is progressive and has chosen to live in a tiny home to reduce their carbon footprint, and now lives on a block with other people in tiny homes, an arrangement some might compare to a "trailer park". Though Theresa was once on friendly terms with Heidi Turner, the friendship between the two classmates broke down when Heidi began pursuing a relationship with Eric Cartman. They've since become bitter rivals, particularly over Theresa's residence in a "trailer park", much like the rivalry between Cartman and Kyle.
Personality and Traits
Outspokenness
Theresa isn't afraid to speak her mind, even when it might get her into trouble, and she has a low tolerance for rude behavior. Despite Wendy's advice not to engage with Heidi Turner's bullying, Theresa insists on defending herself on both occasions. She is similar to Kyle Broflovski in this aspect.

During production on season 11's "The List", which introduced the Pleases and Sparkles Committee, a variety of new female background characters were created, including Theresa, as well as Jenny Simons, Allie Nelson and Short Blonde-Haired Girl.
Although a lookalike spoke briefly in "T.M.I.", voiced by veteran voice actress Mona Marshall, it wasn't until a little while later in "Ass Burgers" that this character recieved her first role, receiving a burger from Kyle Broflovski, who refers to her as Molly and thanking him.
In "Doubling Down", she was reintroduced, now voiced by Elise Gabriel, as one of Heidi Turner's close friends, a role that was re-affirmed in the subsequent episode, "Moss Piglets", where her new name, Theresa, and voice, were reinforced.
