Thalia has been strangled, served meals with carcass, almost getting raped by someone she trust (and nobody console her after that), starved herself because she afraid someone will poison her....that's what I can remember and I know it's not fair to compare with my mistreatment...but just the concept to why I feel she is a strong human. Although in real life actually...we have ups and downs....not just ups or not just downs forever.
From what I can see among the fight, flight, freeze and fawn...
The second empress use fawn
The second princess use fight
For me, Thalia is really strong. She survives on her own mostly. When I was mistreated before. After used fawn and fight for 6 years...even though there are some people who will fight along with me...I can't hope for a better future anymore and decided to flight.
So, although Thalia can off herself...she continues to fight. From 9 years old ╥﹏╥
