Personality: Terezi is rather difficult to pinpoint exactly. The way she acts towards one person to another differ. However, she does have a strong sense between what she thinks is right or wrong. Looking up to her ancestor, Neophyte Redglare, Terezi hopes to become a great legislacerator when she grows up. She's a bit extreme in her views at times. Either you are innocent and are meant to stay alive, or you are guilty and meant to die. At least, that's how she normally had perceived things. In her time in the session and meeting the kids and having to kill Vriska, she has learned that things aren't quite black and white. While she had to kill Vriska to save everyone else, she felt extreme remorse for it and it ended up bothering her a lot more than she wanted it too. It shook up her sense of what was completely right or what was completely wrong. She never had to consider the grey area in the middle before. It also ties into the fact that Terezi perceives herself or wishes to be a good friend. She's compassionate to her friends and the people she cares about even if she may act otherwise. She teases and she can even be cruel with it to an alarming degree, but she does care for them. She would go through quite a bit for their safety and willing to do what she must to help them out. Even if it means kissing the corpse of a friend or to even kill them for the sake of protecting the majority.
Because of that strong sense of Justice, the way she treats the caste system is unique to someone of her blood. She doesn't pay much heed to the hemospectrum, treating everyone for who they are and not by the blood they have. If a rustblood was innocent, then they shouldn't be treated like a criminal. If a cerulean blood had done heinous acts, they should be hung. To her, the only good the hemospectrum has brought is the delicious smells and taste of everyone and their blood.
Terezi is a troll in every sense of the word. She thinks of herself as a bit of a joker and will often tease others. She can be sarcastic or facetious to an alarming degree. Her joking can even be seen as cruel at times as she has no boundaries to how far she'll take things. It might even be at the expense of the other. She doesn't need anyone else to laugh as long as she finds it funny. She can be downright nasty with her words, and sometimes her joking isn't so much as joking as belittling the other. She has rather sociopathic tendencies, although that may be partly from the fact that Troll culture and life are much harsher than what humans are used too. It also may be because she used to very avid in FLARPing, where it was implied that actual killing has occurred and how none of them seemed to really have any boundaries when it came to harming. Even so, she can come off as rather extreme at times, always grinning despite the hurtful things she can say.
Which is to say, she's very good with her words. She's downright manipulative, warping things around as to fit her needs and to further herself. She'll use any technique possible to manipulate things to go her way without being obvious as to what she's doing.
Despite it all, she can be rather childish, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. It shows in the way she does things or how she enjoys herself. Building Can Town. Drawing with chalk and all the colorful scalemates she has, Terezi still has a softer, more childish side to her that she isn't afraid of showing. The only time that she starts feeling threatened is when she meets her ancestor, Latula. She suddenly isn't sure if she can amount to being as cool as she thinks Latula is. Strengths/Weaknesses: Strengths Terezi has many strengths, despite her shortcomings. She's actually a rather good friend to have. Even if she may come off as mean or cruel, she actually cares a lot for her friends and she'll go through certain lengths to keep them safe. She'll also do things for their sake, like kissing corpses. She's someone that can be trusted as she has a rather strong sense of Justice.
She's a terribly strong combatant. Even being blind doesn't stop her from being adept in combat. Coming from a world where survival of the fittest is the law right from hatching, she has to be able to hold her own in any given situation. Along with the others, they had fought their Denizens successfully, overthrown the Black King, and would have won their session if Jack had not intervened. She's definitely no pushover, blind or not.
Terezi is also very creative. Because of her special way of perceiving the world, she lives in a world of color and it reflects. She roleplays and she draws and has a very colorful mind. It shows a lot when she makes Can Town on the meteor and just by the way her Hive looked back before it was destroyed. She can be a fun person to be around.
Weaknesses Terezi's weaknesses lie in herself. While she doesn't mind manipulating people, she has trouble with getting her hands dirty or being directly involved. Such is the problem when she had to choose to kill Vriska or not. She spoke to Dave about it, and it was to the point where she wasn't sure if she could actually do it.
What has recently came to light is that Terezi's confidence is just as fragile as the next person. She becomes depressed when she compares herself to Latula and she thinks of herself as less cool and/or likable because of it. She has self doubt and it clouds her judgment of herself and she becomes jealous. It can also be seen in her hesitance with going through with certain actions that directly involves her emotionally. Even though she may have done the right thing, there's still remorse for her actions.
