PERSONALITY: +Compassionate | +Loyal | Sensitive | Crybaby | Stubborn | -Clingy | -Seeks approval (insecure)

<sub>Terra is a crybaby. Happy or sad, she's easily moved to tears due to her vulnerability to harsh words and her inability to hide her emotions. In fact, watching a soap opera or anything of the sort with her will almost always earn you an earful of sniffles and tissue-blowing. It's no wonder her eyes seem to be permanently red and puffy! On the rare occasion when she's actually having a tough time, she'll say she's just in another one of her crying moods and will try to change the subject. 

Although she is sensitive, years of practice standing up for herself from her taunting brothers have made her quite stubborn. Once she has made a decision, she knows how to hold her ground and even tears - often her own - will not stop her from declining another's request. However, don't get her wrong, she has no problem doing favors for those that legitimately need her help. It's only when she feels that she's being taken advantage of that she draws the line. 

More than anything, she feels a sense of relief and accomplishment when she takes care of those who she thinks need help or support. She finds joy in making others feel better and will make sure to check if they are okay - so much so that sometimes she even talks to flowers/animals. However, she tends to forget that people are not as fragile as flowers. As a result, she can be overly attentive to those that she cares about, making her seem clingy to the point where it's annoying. Often times, she worries excessively, doubting her own talents and relationships with others because of her ties with her family. And though she doesn't express it openly, she is pretty insecure about how she looks and constantly seeks affection from others. After all, all she wants is to look normal (as in, not have red eyes all the time), but sometimes just thinking about it makes her burst into tears.</sub>

HISTORY

<sub>Being born as the youngest of a family of five, Terra was picked on and ridiculed by her two older brothers. They would call her ugly, shameful, and boring to boost their own small egos. Day after day, she would cry from the rough treatment and, over time, it became almost second nature to her. At home, her parents couldn't care less about the relationship between the siblings, since they were preoccupied with salvaging the destroyed marriage that they shared. The word "divorce" was always thrown around in the household for many years, and in order to escape the harsh reality of a crumbling relationship, Terra would always leave to spend time with people who actually cared about her.

Her salvation was found in the presence of her friends, who embraced her constant crying and insecurities with open arms. Through their advice and coaching, she gradually learned how to stand up to her nasty brothers and became the person she is today. She learned that she was worth something, but she still sought after the affection and love she never got from her family. Fortunately, her friends gave her just that. Every year for her birthday, they would all give her something that was within their limited budget as kids. Flowers. Morning glories, sunflowers, tulips, and more would pile up in her arms, and her smile would be as radiant as the flowers she got. She treasured them and looked forward to getting the beautiful, fragile plants each year.

Years flew by like this, until she stumbled upon a colorful advertisement promising a new life poking out of her mailbox. Gingerly picking it up, she read it out loud. "Toffee Town?" She read the ad over and over, getting more and more excited every time. It was a chance to leave her sorry excuse of a family. With her heart jumping out of her chest, she showed it to her best friend. He encouraged her to go, and after talking about it with everyone she cared about, Terra was sold. After all, although she would be leaving behind her precious friends, she would also be escaping from her family.

She hoped that by the time she came back (if ever), her parents would finally show a shred of humanity and give her the love she deserved. With that, she packed her bags and, with tears in her eyes (as usual), she boarded the Eclair Express and left her old town behind.</sub>
