Tagatha[]
Tagatha is the romantic pairing of Tedros of Camelot and Agatha of the Woods Beyond. They are each other's true love and their love symbolizes the complex love that most romantic fairy tales leave out. In Book 1, they despised each other, Tedros believing Agatha a witch and Agatha believing Tedros to be a pompous jerk who only existed to steal Sophie away from her, then slowly started falling for each other. Book 2, they missed each other terribly, Tedros being tortured in the School for Boy and Agatha living miserably in Gavaldon, then noticing how the other changed, eventually turned against each other, but at the end they chose each other. Book 3 strongly cemented their relationship and they got to know each other more than ever; Book 4, they had a lot of moments but their relationship took a turn for the worst in the ending, after Agatha stopped Tedros doing something that would have earned the latter respect from his subjects. They eventually marry, becoming King and Queen of Camelot.
Biography[]
The School for Good and Evil[]
At the Welcoming Ceremony, Tedros is surprised to see fair and beautiful Sophie in Never rags and witch-faced Agatha in a pink dress. He drops his rose in shock and it fell into Agatha's hand, being the first of many hints at their future relationship. Pretty quickly, the two take a disliking towards each other, especially since Sophie wants to stay and be with Tedros, which would've sent Agatha home alone, a plan the black-clad girl wasn't terribly fond of and which she blamed Tedros for. Tedros also didn't believe Agatha belonged in the School for Good, causing him to taunt her often.
After "solving" the Schoolmaster's riddle of love getting them out of the school, Agatha grudgingly helps Sophie win Tedros' heart, but the plan goes wrong multiple times in challenges where Tedros felt a strong connection to Agatha's hobgoblin and coffin, or simply when Sophie wants to take charge of their flimsy predicament, causing arguments between Sophie and her. After the Trial by Tale, Tedros breaks anything he had with Sophie after he caught her using Agatha to make him fall in love with her. Slowly, he takes a new interest in Agatha, as he finds out it was her words he heard in Sophie and her who he'd been drawn to this whole time.
Meanwhile, Sophie plots revenge, attacking the schools and claiming it to be Tedros' fault for breaking up with her, showing her true inner evil. Agatha tries to get Sophie and Tedros back together to keep the schools safe, but neither one wants to be with each other now. Agatha slowly falls in love with Tedros as he loves her, creating an ever after that made Sophie jealous and turn paranoid. Still, later in the Schoolmaster's tower, Sophie, in her final stage of being an Evil witch, still sacrifices her life when the School Master attempts to kill Agatha. Agatha kisses her awake, and shimmering, the two girls transport to Galvadon, leaving Tedros at the School for Good and Evil, heartbroken.
A World Without Princes[]
Throughout the first few chapters, Agatha is miserable, terribly missing Tedros, and often dreams about him. At Honora and Stefan's wedding, upon watching the Ever After and romantic love she gave up, her wish for him becomes true, Tedros senses it as a result, and the Gavaldon borders broke, sending arrows after Sophie. Agatha and Sophie decide to go back to the Schools to get away from the attacks and find out what's going on. When they get there, they find out what their ending did: a huge war broke out between the boys and girls, and Tedros was in the middle of it all, bitter in losing his princess to a witch.
Even so, Agatha still misses her prince, and with the help of her friends, sneaks into the School for Boy to see him, unaware Sophie was following her. Tedros is surprised, hurt, and happy to see her. Agatha wants to seal their ending but Tedros refuses to do it until Sophie dies, and the latter shoots a spell at the two of them, each one thinking the other tried to hurt them. Agatha runs away, back to the girls' school, to find Sophie fast asleep. She confides in Sophie in what happened and Sophie plays innocent.
After that, a bounty on Agatha's head is added to the flyers, and Agatha wants nothing to do with Tedros anymore, truly believing her happily ever after is with Sophie. However, when Sophie converts to Filip, her boy version on a mission, and gets closer to Tedros, she/he understands her enemy's point of view. They get closer and closer and in the Trial by Tale, Tedros nearly kisses her, though they are caught in the action by Agatha.
Agatha turns on Filip, realizing she had been tricked this whole time. Filip converts back to Sophie, and Tedros also feels tricked too. The two Evers realize how happy they could've been and decide to choose each other and send Sophie home with the power of their first kiss. But as Sophie desperately attempts to stop them once more, the Schoolmaster comes and Sophie chooses him this time. He stabs Tedros, stealing his sword, and the two Evers get sent back to Gavaldon.
The Last Ever After[]
"You don't know the first thing about me."
In the beginning, they are shown to be quarreling regularly, acting like a typical married couple. However, they both miss Sophie and eventually decide to go back for her. But not before The Elders catch them and sentence the both to death, as Agatha's punishment for letting Sophie escape, and bringing a prince back with her. Callis sacrifices herself for them, though, unleashing her magic and giving the two directions to take refuge in the League of Thirteen.
Along the way, they get attacked by zombies of defeated villains and are saved by Uma. Wanting to be the prince to Agatha's princess, Tedros tells Agatha he should save Sophie. He says he could make her feel loved in a way Agatha couldn't, and smiles as he talks about her, making Agatha jealous and annoyed. She storms off and talks to Uma about her unsureness of her and Tedros' relationship, hearing how bad Uma's Ever After ended up.
After fighting more villains, Uma gets stunned by a spell. Led by a rabbit, they carry Uma to the League's headquarters and continue their previous argument. After finding the League, and making some immediate enemies, their relationship gets more strained as Tedros finds out what Agatha and Uma were talking about. Merlin turns them into the opposite gender to sneak in, and Dot renames them Edgar and Essa. The coven keep them in Room 66 while they're in class, and the two of them have a moment, talking about their deepest fears and why they love each other. Kissing, the moment is cut short by an annoyed Hester, and they practice their missions, Essa now the one chosen to save Sophie.
While Agatha/Edgar faces Rafal in getting Excalibur back, Tedros/Essa finds out what Sophie wants in order to destroy her ring - Tedros. She asks for one more chance, and she'll destroy the ring even if she isn't chosen in the end. At first, Agatha is furious until she realizes that Tedros is just playing along and would always choose Agatha. But after taking Sophie back (with Hort, who followed), Agatha finds out that Sophie changed her mind and would only destroy Rafal's ring if she is chosen by Tedros. Sophie explains that Agatha wasn't meant to be a queen, while she always knew she was, reopening and resurfacing Agatha's doubts for the whole book. Her doubts and the knowledge that Good and the entire world is on the line get to Agatha. She makes Tedros give Sophie a real chance, angering him.
Tedros is further heartbroken when he overhears Agatha telling Hort she will never marry Tedros and cannot see her future with him. He camps out in the forest on his own, and Sophie and Agatha have time to revisit their friendship in Lancelot and Guinevere's house. When Tedros comes back, he takes Sophie to a sapphire cave and questions why she wants to be his queen. She tells him how she always knew her destiny was meant to be greater than any girl in Gavaldon's, but leaves out the crucial part about loving him. He orders her to destroy the ring, leaving her and running off to Agatha. He tells Agatha to never give him up again and they make up. Outraged at Tedros' deception, Sophie wishes for Evil and Rafal rescues her, taking her back to the school.
Guinevere gives Agatha her old crown. The League, the Ever army and Tedros bow to Agatha as their new queen, with Tedros requesting she never takes the crown off. Their relationship continues healthily as they make new plans with the League to destroy the ring. In the final battle, Agatha convinces Sophie to turn against Rafal. Tedros tells Agatha she is better than him in every way, and they kiss. Agatha and Tedros are last seen riding to Camelot. Merlin joins them, promising to guide Tedros and their future children. Their Ever After is seemingly sealed.
The Ever Never Handbook[]
They're mentioned from time to time, especially by Sophie, who is seen making absurd remarks and being unable to handle the topic of them.
Quests for Glory[]
At the beginning of the book, it is said that Tedros is staying away from Agatha to keep her from being worried about him and to avoid the topic of the coronation. This depresses her until he comes to her room one night and cries in her arms, but before they can speak, Lady Gremlaine finds them, and he leaves. The very next day, Merlin hosts "Couple's Therapy" in The Celestium, but mostly talks about why Excalibur couldn't be pulled out. After Agatha starts crying when Sophie is brought up, Merlin leaves and the two of them talk about the past few months, and why Tedros had been avoiding Agatha (causing Agatha to doubt if she is fit to be a queen, or Tedros’s true love) and Agatha decides on visiting Sophie. Tedros argues to no avail.
Later on, when Rhian saves them all in the Lion's mask, everyone, including Agatha, believes it was Tedros who had come to save them all. But he only comes after, with Lancelot and Gremlaine dead. Soon Tedros only confides in Rhian, and he leaves when Agatha says he can confide in her too. The two go on a double-date with Sophie and Rhian at Sherwood Forest and after they leave, the two seem to be on good terms when Tedros holds Agatha and they kiss only to be interrupted when Rhian gets them lost.
But as the story goes, Agatha begins to lose trust in Tedros and doubt whether he really is meant to be king. She tells Sophie this only to have Tedros overhear. Agatha feels guilty when Tedros confronts her but he tells her that she's right about everything, and it turns out he was doubting himself too. But soon, The Snake attacks and Tedros fights it, demanding to be the one to kill it. But Agatha is worried that he'll be killed, pulls him back, and orders Rhian to kill it. After it's done, Tedros tells Agatha that she always holds him back and the only trick is her. She gets upset and stays back, and Guinevere tells her that this was what being a queen always felt like: let her king fight for his kingdom or save him when he's in danger.
At the ending, their relationship is more fractured than the before and separated, as Rhian betrays everyone, becomes king, and imprisons Tedros.
