The daughter of Carlos and Cecilia, Teresa comforts Carlos when Cecilia disappears. She helps people when they start coming to their garden, setting up the lanterns and being there for her father. After Carlos enacts his play The Names, the government will take Teresa rather than Carlos to send him a message, as Carlos himself is deemed too public to be punished. While in detention, Teresa will see her mother and be victim to sadistic games that the guards play. In the end, she will die in las pampas, but she will not be afraid because she has heard good stories about the farms in las pampas and until the moment of her death, will think she is about to be rescued. Carlos will envision her entire death.
