Do we know anything at all of her story after leaving the chalet school? Sorry for being too lazy to research it, but I'm thinking someone will ... just... know!

'We know nuzzing!'

Sorry, it had to be said. *lol* Actually, it's true. There is no further information given about Thekla, except that she wrote to Mademoiselle, probably shortly before the latter died, and that the whole family disappeared during the war.

There's a mention somewhere of her writing to Mlle Lepattre to apologise for her behaviour. & I may be imagining this or mixing her up with someone else, but I've an idea that Simone - who presumably got her address from Marie - wrote to tell her about Mlle's death, but that's the last we hear of her. The von Stifts "disappear" during the war, in that they lose touch with (their cousins) the von Eschenaus, and no-one in CS-land ever hears from/of Thekla again!

Someone started a drabble aaaages ago about Thekla but I can't remember who wrote it or where it went. I think it was called "Memories" and it was quite serious.

Someone wrote a long and quite sympathetic story for FOCS about Thekla during and after the war - you can read it on the FOCS website in the articles section.

It's imagined, though - as everyone else says, EBD tells us nothing.

Oooh it would be interesting to see how they all reacted.

Thanks everyone. The Thekla in FOCS is too nice for my purposes, so I've made up a darker version.

She is a very interesting character to write about. I wrote a short drabble on the old board (I think it's been archived now) where she almost single-handedly broke down the Berlin Wall just like the chipmunks did. I think that may have been my inspiration for it come to think of it...

I do have, in my head, a related short drabble about her brother but I'm not sure that's ever going to make it on to paper.
