Throy

Throy is the het ship between Thea and Roy from the Arrow fandom.

Canon
FLIRTATION

Thea and Roy literally have a meet cute when Roy steals Thea's purse and she manages to track him down and have him arrested. After he tells the police it's for his mother's medicine, Thea tells Laurel to let him walk, but Thea seeks Roy out at his home later on to get her purse back, where he tells her he faked the story. Although Roy is a thief, Thea's smitten after he saves her from some thugs and gets stabbed. At the hospital, the doctor assumes they're together as they bicker. Roy has to get a shot, but is scared of needles for which Thea teases him and then kisses him to distract him from the pain.

RELATIONSHIP

They sorta start dating and Thea tries to get Roy a job at Verdant, which he bails on much to her dismay, not convinced that he can live a 'normal' life. Everything changes for them when Roy is abducted by a man seeking to avenge his wife's death by murdering people on live streaming. Thea is terrified for his life and Oliver saves Roy's life. Roy awakens to a whole new existence where he feels like his life can matter and he goes on a quest to find "The Hood" to that end. Thea helps Roy who, unbeknownst to her, steals a police radio and Det. Lance decides to put his "frequent guests" off their hunt by taking them to the morgue. It doesn't take, but after they meet Oliver, who strongly dissuades them from their pursuit, Thea walks out on a continually hellbent Roy after he disparages Oliver.

Upon Moira Queen's confession that The Glades are being levelled, a horrified Thea runs off to find Roy there and saves him from a thug who's about to shoot him. They try to leave The Glades but are stopped by a man asking for help to save a bus full of people. Thea is adamant that Roy doesn't have to prove anything, but he assures her he just wants to help because it's right. Thea leaves for safety and Roy stays.

VIGILANTISM

5 months after Tommy's death and the levelling of the Glades, Roy and Thea are still together but are fighting over Roy acting as a vigilante in lieu of "The Hood". Thea disapproves as she worries for his safety and so Roy tries to hide it from her, unsuccessfully. He tries to convince Thea that it is worth it as he's helping the city the way the vigilante did. After crashing a stolen car to stop Chien Na Weh, Thea gives Roy an ultimatum as she knows she can't change his mind — stop being a vigilante or get fired and lose her. After Arrow asks Roy to be his intel on the city's troubles, Roy cedes to Thea's ultimatum.
