| | '''Terra''' is a character who will appear in the upcoming game ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. He first appeared in the secret ending of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]'' titled ''[[The Gathering]]''. The video was continued in the secret ending of ''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]'', titled "[[Birth by sleep (Video)|Birth by sleep]]". In the video Terra was shown fighting against [[Master Xehanort]] and [[Master Xehanort's apprentice|Vanitas]] with companions [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus]]. He is the oldest and leader of the three Keyblade Warriors. It is his dream to become a Keyblade Master. |
| '''Terra''' is one of the main protagonists of ''[[Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep]]''. Along with his best friends [[Ventus]] and [[Aqua]], he is a [[Keyblade]] apprentice, and it is his dream to reach the rank of [[Keyblade Master]]. | |
|
| |
|
| Terra eventually becomes [[Terra-Xehanort]] after [[Master Xehanort]] forces his heart into Terra's body. He's also the original persona of the [[Lingering Will]], the source of [[Xemnas]]' body, and the host of the [[Dark Figure]]. | | While Terra means "Earth" in Latin, [[Riku]]'s name in Japanese means "Land". Any connection between the two is unconfirmed, however similar name meanings also apply with [[Kairi]] and Aqua and with [[Sora]] and Ventus. |

|
| ==Story== | | ==Story== |
| ===Before ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''=== | | ===''[[Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix]]''=== |
| Terra spent his days as a Keyblade apprentice training under [[Eraqus]] at the [[Land of Departure]], along with his friend, Aqua. Terra's long-time dream was to become a Keyblade Master.
| |
|
| |
|
| One day during training, [[Master Xehanort]] visited the Land of Departure, bringing with him a near-catatonic Ventus, in order to ask Eraqus to take care of the boy and train him as a Keyblade wielder. Terra greeted Ven and he and Aqua introduced themselves, but when Terra started asking him questions about himself, Ven collapsed with a cry of agony. Eraqus explained to Terra that Ventus had lost his memories. Ventus woke up a few days later.
| | In the "[[Birth by sleep]]" cinematic, unlocked at the end of ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', the story is continued; the three are portrayed as the protagonists against Master Xehanort and his companion, and he, like the others, wields a Keyblade. He begins the battle by rushing at Master Xehanort, but the old man avoids him by separating himself from the others with a makeshift cliff. Terra is hit by a blast of lightning from the old man's guardian, but ignores him to pursue Master Xehanort. |
|
| |
|
| Ventus later began training with Terra and Aqua, becoming fast friends with them, and Terra often sparred with Ventus. After one long day of training, Terra told Ven and Aqua about his dream of being a Keyblade Master and gave Ven his wooden Keyblade to use instead of Ven's [[Wooden Sword]], saying that he, Ven, and Aqua, all carry the same dream.
| | He is at first unable to reach the man because of the cyclone of Keyblades, but after being aided by Aqua's magic, he is able to reach the man's cliff and attack him. The old man, wielding a Keyblade of his own, is able to fend him off with a freezing spell. Once the old man gets a hold of Ven, a younger knight, Terra is thrown off the cliff by the Keyblade cyclone, ending his involvement in the struggle. He is seen one last time after the appearance of [[Kingdom Hearts (world)|Kingdom Hearts]], when he takes off his helmet to gaze up at it, while his eyes turn yellow. |
|
| |
|
| ===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
| | In ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', a secret boss known as the [[Lingering Sentiment]] appears. Although it is not confirmed, it is believed to be Terra, albeit with a cape and Keyblade slightly different from the one he is seen with in gameplay. It first mentions Aqua and Ven and mistakes Sora as "the one he has chosen" (possibly [[Riku]], who was originally ''chosen'' by the Keyblade), then wonders if Sora is "[[Master Xehanort|Xehanort]]" before finally attacking him. Unlike [[Sephiroth]], another secret boss in the game, the Sentiment fights against both Sora and his main companions, [[Donald Duck|Donald]] and [[Goofy]]. After losing once, he can be challenged again, this time saying that he has nothing more to give to Sora except his hatred for "Xehanort". It's unclear why he actually attacks Sora, though he may just be testing his abilities just as [[Xemnas]] had been. After the fight, he acknowledges Sora as a Keyblade Master. |
| [[File:Eraqus Announces the Results 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|Terra taps into the darkness during the Mark of Mastery exam.]] | |
| Four years after Ven's arrival, Terra and Aqua take the [[Mark of Mastery exam]] in order to become Masters, but while Aqua passes, Terra does not, as he is unable to control his darkness. Unbeknownst to them, Master Xehanort is responsible for Terra's darkness flaring up during the exam. Surprised and depressed to learn that he holds darkness in his heart, Terra steps outside, where he is approached by Master Xehanort, who tells Terra that he shouldn't try to control his darkness, but rather, to channel it.
| |
|
| |
|
| Shortly after, Terra and Aqua are sent on a quest to find the missing Master Xehanort and stop the threat of the [[Unversed]], and Eraqus tells Terra he has a second chance to prove himself worthy of being named a Keyblade Master. In the meantime, Eraqus has Aqua follow Terra, to bring him back if he is tempted by darkness.
| | The Lingering Sentiment is the most powerful enemy in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix'', and is arguably the hardest boss in the series. |
|
| |
|
| [[File:Darkness Within 02 KHBBS.png|thumb|Maleficent offering Terra to join her.]] | | ==Abilities== |
| Throughout his journey, Terra encounters many villains in the worlds he visits (although because of Terra's inexperience, he doesn't immediately realize they are villains). [[Maleficent]] takes a particular interest in him, having been alerted of his arrival in the [[Enchanted Dominion]] by Xehanort. She uses the darkness in his heart to put him into a trance, to make him steal the heart of the sleeping Princess [[Aurora]]. This encounter would haunt Terra for the rest of his journey. However, Terra did have some positive outcomes in his search. The [[Magic Mirror]] in [[Dwarf Woodlands]] revealed Master Xehanort was at a place where a great battle took place; he also learned from the [[Grand Duke]] of [[Castle of Dreams]] that the Unversed were being commanded by a boy in a mask.
| | |
| | [[File:Terrafatalmode.png|thumb|200px|right|Terra utilizing his exclusive Mode Change, the powerful Fatal Mode.]] |
| | Terra is the most powerful of the trio in terms of the damage aspect. He uses slow, but very heavy and hard-hitting attacks to decimate his enemies. On top of that, he has access to both a variety of magical spells as well as heavy physical strikes. His known [[Mode Change]]s are: |
|
| |
|
| Terra seeks [[Yen Sid]]'s wisdom to divine an answer to both these mysteries. Yen Sid tells him to treat Master Xehanort's disappearance as linked to the Unversed. Master Xehanort summons Terra to the Keyblade Graveyard, where he tells him the masked boy [[Vanitas]] is actually the personification of the darkness that had once been in Ven's heart; according to Xehanort, he pulled the darkness out of Ven when it threatened to consume him. Vanitas escaped confinement and spread his darkness in the form of the Unversed throughout the worlds to disrupt and destroy the light. Master Xehanort suggests searching the City of Light, [[Radiant Garden]], as it would be Vanitas's most likely target.
| | *'''Fatal Mode''': A powerful fighting style that utilizes slow, but heavy hits to their maximum. |
| | *'''Rock Breaker''': After fulfilling certain requirements, Fatal Mode changes into Rock Breaker. A powerful and long-ranged style that works best on the ground, it summons three large earth crystals from the ground to damage enemies. |
| | *'''Thunder Bolt''': A swift mode change that unleashes powerful lightning upon attacks. |
| | *'''Fire Blazer''': A ranged and versatile mode change that focuses the Keyblade to erupt flames while attacking. |
| | *'''Blade Charge''': In this mode the Keyblade of Terra resembles a purple sword. A long-ranged style, as its name implies, it allows the user to "charge up" Terra's attacks for additional damage. |
|
| |
|
| [[File:Walls of the Heart 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|Terra inquires Ventus about Vanitas.]] | | Additional abilities include: |
| After arriving in Radiant Garden, Terra sees Master Xehanort heading toward the Castle Town and follows him. However, he is distracted by seeing [[Merlin]] drop a book: [[Hundred Acre Wood|Winnie the Pooh]]; Terra returns it to him, learning it has the power to awaken his inner strength. Upon leaving, Terra spots a giant Unversed; going after it, Terra ends up reuniting with Ven and Aqua. The three of them battle the [[Trinity Armor]] and defeat it, and Ven gives both his friends lifetime passes to Disney Town. Terra is shocked to hear Ven met his other half, and that Aqua has been keeping an eye on him on Master Eraqus's orders. Feeling betrayed by Aqua and wanting to keep Ven safe, Terra takes off on his own.
| | *'''[[Dimension Link]]''': A mode that allows Terra to summon characters from other worlds to aid him in battles. |
| | *'''[[Shoot Lock]]''': |
| | :*'''Star Burst''': Multiple blasts of light fire from his Keyblade to hit the enemies. The input command is to continuously press O. “Fly shining blasts of light!” “Rapidly press the button to release the Finish command.” |
| | :*'''Ultima Cannon''': Terra transforms his Keyblade into a massive cannon and fires at enemies. It bears resemblance to a similar attack used by the [[Lingering Sentiment]] in ''Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix''. |
|
| |
|
| After leaving his friends, Terra encounters [[Braig]], who claims to be holding Master Xehanort hostage under the Outer Gardens and demands Terra meet him there. Though it would be highly unlikely that a normal person could take a Keyblade Master hostage, Terra decides to check out the claim as a precaution. Terra arrives at the Purification Facility to see Master Xehanort chained to a column, and Braig challenges Terra to a fight, saying he wants a Keyblade for himself. With encouragement from Master Xehanort, Terra suddenly channels his darkness and scars Braig's face, driving him off. A second blast frees Xehanort, but Terra is dismayed that he failed to keep his darkness in check.
| | ==Personality== |
| | | He is the oldest and leader of the three Keyblade warriors. He has a calm and cool exterior, but he hides a heart that would fight for his friends. He and Ventus have a strong relationship because he said Ventus had saved his life before. His personality seems to have some similarities with Riku's personality. |
| [[File:What Darkness Can Do 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|Master Xehanort offers to take Terra as his pupil.]]
| |
| Master Xehanort assures him that he channeled the darkness in his heart, and that using it is a true step forward. He further explains that the lights of Terra's fellow pupils shine too bright, thus casting shadows on his heart. Master Xehanort says that the reason that Eraqus did not grant Terra the title of Master is because he is afraid of the power of darkness; in Terra the power is strong, and Eraqus fears darkness so much because he has succumbed to light. Xehanort asks Terra to join him as his pupil so they may bring balance between light and darkness, and he tells him to see more worlds to find and destroy Vanitas. As Terra prepares to leave Radiant Garden, Ventus catches up with him, asking to come along. Terra turns him down, but he tells him that he knows Ventus will be there for him when he needs him.
| |
| | |
| In [[Disney Town]], Terra races against [[Captain Dark]] in the Rumble Races to take out [[Glidewinder|Unversed]]. Winning, Terra learns that he doesn't need to bend or break the rules to accomplish a task. He also wins the Million Dreams Award.
| |
| | |
| Terra arrives in [[Olympus Coliseum]], where he encounters [[Hades]], who is looking for a powerful warrior he can manipulate and set against Zeus. He convinces Terra to enter the Games in order to learn how to conquer his darkness. When Terra clears the first rounds without trouble, Hades uses darkness to take control of [[Zack]], who faces Terra in the next match. Terra defeats Zack, releasing him from Hades's control, and Zack calls Terra a hero.
| |
| | |
| After falling into Galactic Federation custody in [[Deep Space]], Terra escapes with [[Dr. Jumba]] and helps him free [[Experiment 626]]. When 626 steals Terra's [[Wayfinder]], he realizes how much his bond with Aqua and Ventus means to him, and he encourages 626 to learn for himself what friendship is.
| |
| | |
| Terra also visit [[Neverland]], briefly allying with [[Captain Hook]] before teaching the [[Lost Boys]] that real treasure is not jewels and gold, but what is really important to them.
| |
| | |
| [[File:Legacy 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|Terra choosing Riku as his successor.]]
| |
| Some time later, Terra is drawn towards a warm light, which leads him to the [[Destiny Islands]]. He finds a [[Paopu Fruit]], which reminds of the legend Aqua told him about the Wayfinders. He sees two young boys, [[Sora]] and [[Riku]], and he senses light within Riku. Terra speaks with Riku, who tells him he wants to become strong in order to protect his friends, and he decides to perform a [[Bequeathing]] with Riku, allowing him to wield the Keyblade in the future.

| | |
| [[File:Master and Pupil Trade Blows 01 KHBBS.png|thumb|Terra battling his master.]]
| |
| Terra sees Ven in the Lanes Between, but before Terra can catch up to him, Master Xehanort calls Terra back to the Keyblade Graveyard. Xehanort tells him that Ventus intends to confront Master Eraqus about his past, and that he is in danger. Determined to protect his friend, Terra returns to the Land of Departure in time to defend Ventus from Eraqus's attack. He throws Ven into a portal to the Lanes Between and, channeling his darkness, defeats Eraqus in battle. Although they both regret their actions, Eraqus is suddenly destroyed by Xehanort, who encourages Terra to give himself over to darkness. He tells Terra to come to the [[Keyblade Graveyard]] to witness the ends of Ventus and Aqua, then unleashes a flood of darkness which ravages the world. Terra watches his world crumble into ruins and looks at his Wayfinder, vowing to Ventus and Aqua that he won't let Xehanort kill them.
| |
| | |
| He leaves the Land of Departure as it is being destroyed, but he turns back and picks up a disturbance coming from the ruins. [[Game:Young Xehanort|A cloaked figure]] appears and almost immediately challenges Terra to battle. Terra defeats the mysterious figure, who remains silent and gives no explanation for its hostility. It simply vanishes.
| |
| | |
| After arriving at the Keyblade Graveyard, Terra reunites with Aqua and Ventus. Terra explains what happened to their master and admits that he did have to be watched, vowing never to go astray again. However, Aqua warns him that darkness is based on hatred and rage, and that if Terra had come for revenge, then Xehanort has already won. Xehanort arrives with Vanitas, and he declares his intention to create the [[χ-blade]]. In the ensuing fight with Master Xehanort and Vanitas, Terra succumbs to his darkness once more and battles the elderly master.
| |
| | |
| [[File:The Last Bastion of Free Will 02 KHBBS.png|thumb|left|Terra's body, now possessed by Master Xehanort, is trapped by his [[soul]] within his animated Keyblade Armor.]]
| |
| Although he prevails, the χ-blade is forged, and Master Xehanort uses his Keyblade to extract his own heart and implant it in Terra's body, possessing it. However, Terra's [[Lingering Will]] inhabits his discarded Keyblade Armor, challenges [[Terra-Xehanort]], and defeats him. Terra-Xehanort disappears in the light emanating from the χ-blade as it is destroyed by Ventus and Aqua, while the Lingering Will remains, declaring Terra's promise to Ventus and Aqua to set things right.
| |
| | |
| After Aqua defeats Terra-Xehanort in Radiant Garden, Terra's heart resists Xehanort, forcing Xehanort to lock his heart, leading to his amnesia.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Final Episode''': "In a desperate move to rid himself of Terra once and for all, Xehanort turned his own Keyblade on himself, and began to sink into the pool of darkness that spilled forth."</ref> Even after this, Terra and Master Xehanort's hearts continue their conflict inside Terra-Xehanort's body, disputing over who will control it. Terra declares to Xehanort that he no longer fears the darkness and vows to continue resisting Xehanort, who realizes Eraqus's presence in Terra's heart. However, Master Xehanort tells Terra that he has many plans in place, even if their conflict continues for a very long time.

| |
| [[Naminé]] is able to speak to Terra in his memories, using her powers to trace the connection from memories of those he has met before. Naminé warns Terra that he will soon encounter a familiar light; even though half of Terra belongs to unspeakable darkness, he must guide this light to ensure she isn't lost to the darkness. Terra promises to keep fighting, reaffirming his pledge to Aqua and Ventus.{{storylink|Secret Story from Kingdom Hearts Concert -First Breath-}}
| |

| A vision of Terra appears to Aqua after she defeats the Demon Tower in the remains of the Castle of Dreams. She questions if he, too, has been trapped in the Realm of Darkness, but he simply fades away, causing her to wonder if she has started going insane.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-}}.

| Later, in the remains of Enchanted Dominion, Aqua encounters phantoms of Terra and Ventus, pursuing them through the Forest of Thorns. When she catches up with them, Terra asks Aqua if she can see him. Aqua mentions she can, along with Ventus, but Terra is unable to see Ventus. Questioning where he is, Aqua tells him the worlds fell, and she is unsure if he is the real Terra. Terra insists he is, but also claims that he is not himself and that her heart is painting him the way she remembers him. He explains that his heart is tied to the darkness and that the Ventus beside him must be an illusion created by her heart. Aqua wonders if this means Ventus and Terra are safe on the outside world, and while Terra thinks so, he warns her that Xehanort is looking for Ventus. As she explains that she has hidden Ventus somewhere where no one will find him, Terra's spirit transforms into Terra-Xehanort. Terra-Xehanort wonders if Ventus is in the [[Chamber of Waking]] and, when questioned by Aqua, begins to reveal his identity.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-'', Terra-Xehanort''': "You don't know? My name-"</ref> However, Terra overpowers Xehanort's will, informing her of Xehanort's ruse.

| | Terra is a tall young man with brown hair, blue eyes, and slightly tanned skin. Like his friends, Terra wears two intersecting straps over his chest, though his red ones are rather different, dropping much lower down and almost resembling criss-crossed suspenders. Also unlike [[Aqua]] and [[Ventus|Ven]], Terra does not wear his badge (which is gold as opposed to the others' silver) on these straps. Instead, he wears it on his belt. He wears a skintight, black, high-collared shirt, showing that he is rather muscular. Terra's pants bear a distinct feudal Japanese style; his belt is tied like an obi-sash and he wears hakama (traditional samurai pants distinguished by the large pleats). His hakama are dark grey near the top, with several loops for his belt and two buttons, both of which are undone. The rest of the pants are tan with a small, lighter stripe of tan on the bottom hem. Terra wears a plain black wristband on his right arm, while his left arm is significantly more armored. |

| After [[Ansem, Seeker of Darkness]] and [[Xemnas]] were defeated, Terra's body was recompleted. However, his heart, which was still under Master Xehanort's control, remained trapped within the [[Dark Figure]]. His empty body was filled with the heart of Terra-Xehanort from the past, which Young Xehanort had collected.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts III Ultimania''''' '''Tetsuya Nomura''' "By all rights, Terra should have been revived as himself at that point in time. However, his heart was still in the clutches of Xehanort, and it was unable to go back, and the shell of his body was the only thing that revived. Then, Xehanort brought the heart of Terranort from the past and put it in that shell of a body he once controlled."</ref><ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts III Re Mind'', Master Xehanort:''' "Ansem and Xemnas originated from Terra, or rather his young form—and it too was restored. However, my heart has returned to me, while his is yet lost. I decided to fill this hollow vessel with my heart—indeed, the very same heart that previously resided within young Terra."</ref>

| When [[Data-Naminé]] gives [[Data-Sora]] the extra memories that were implanted in [[Jiminy's Journal]], an image of Terra appears, along with images of Aqua and Ventus. She tells him that Terra is among those that Sora must save from their hurt.

| |
| When Sora arrives at [[The World That Never Was]], he is caught by the Organization and placed within a nightmare in which he chases after memories of Riku and Kairi. When he catches up to them at the [[Nightmarish Abyss]], the phantoms suddenly take the form of Terra and Aqua, while Sora himself takes on Ventus's appearance. Sora is confused, but the phantoms attempt to grasp his hand before turning back into Riku and Kairi and walking off again. As Riku attempts to wake Sora on his own side of the dream, a memory of when Aqua came to Destiny Islands is manifested, and nearly wakes Sora up.
| |
| | |
| However, Ansem appears within Sora's dream at the last second and thrusts him back into the nightmare. Xigbar and Xemnas reappear within the nightmare to taunt him and lead him into despair by explaining the inevitability of their plan and playing on his insecurities, but a defiant Sora proclaims that while he may not have been chosen by the Keyblade, he will always be proud to be there for his friends, including Terra and all the others.
| |
| | |
| Shortly after, Ansem attacks Riku in an attempt to take over Riku's body again. Before they fight, Riku reveals to Ansem that he reminds him of Terra and thus resolves to make Ansem a part of his light. Later, as Master Xehanort explains his plans to Mickey in Where Nothing Gathers, he reveals Terra's past fate as his vessel, but neglects to mention anything further about him.

| |
| After Sora, Aqua and Ventus fight [[Terra-Xehanort]] in the Keyblade Graveyard, he captures the trio using manifested chains of their bonds. He prepares to do away with Aqua and Ventus, but the [[Dark Figure]] appears and saves the duo. The guardian proceeds to break the chains binding them and puts the unconscious Aqua and Ventus safely on the ground. The guardian swiftly restrains the astonished Terra-Xehanort, rips the bandages over its mouth and speaks, revealing Terra's heart has been residing inside the entity. Sora seizes the opportunity and forces Xehanort's heart from Terra's body with the power of the Keyblade and Terra releases his heart from the guardian, finally reuniting with his body.

| Now whole again, Terra reunites with Aqua and Ventus, expressing his gratitude for them never giving up on him, and the trio tearfully embraces. They take time to recuperate before racing to Sora's side to aid in the final battle. Later, in [[Scala ad Caelum]], after Sora defeats Master Xehanort, Terra greets the old Master and reveals that Master Eraqus's heart resides inside him. Master Eraqus makes his peace with Aqua and Ventus, asking Terra to look after them, to which Terra agrees.
| |
| | |
| Later, Terra stands with Aqua and Ventus in the Land of Departure as they pay their respects to Master Eraqus, hanging their Wayfinders on his Keyblade's memorial wreath. Then he calls to Ventus as the latter stops to embrace a wayward [[Chirithy]]. Not long afterwards, he is seen on the Destiny Islands, racing with Riku and Roxas as King Mickey and Aqua cheer them on before standing with the others to watch Sora and Kairi at a distance.
| |
| | |
| Sometime after this, Sora's friends split up their efforts to find him with Terra, Aqua, and Ventus looking for Sora in the Realm of Darkness, donning on their Keyblade armors as they depart.

| Terra is a tall and muscular young man with brown hair that reaches to the base of his neck in the back and is styled into rather messy, vertical spikes and bangs that frame his face. He has blue eyes and slightly tanned skin. Interestingly, he bears a slight resemblance to the younger version of [[Xehanort]], save for the color of his hair, skin, and his eyes, and his appearance is carried on to both Terra-Xehanort and Xemnas, as they are both Terra's body under Master Xehanort's influence. Following his possession by Master Xehanort, his hair turns silvery-white, his eyes turn yellow and his skin becomes much darker. Later on, his eyes turn brown. | |
| | |
| Like his friends, Terra wears two intersecting straps over his chest, though his red ones are rather different, dropping much lower down and almost resembling crisscrossed suspenders. Also unlike Aqua and Ventus, Terra does not wear his badge (which is gold as opposed to the others' silver) on these straps. Instead, he wears it on his belt. He wears a skintight, black, high-collared shirt, showing that he is rather muscular. Terra's pants bear a distinct feudal Japanese style; his belt is tied like an obi-sash and he wears {{w|hakama}}. His hakama are dark grey near the top, with several loops for his belt and two buttons, both of which are undone. The rest of the pants are tan with a small, lighter stripe of tan on the bottom hem. Terra wears a plain black wristband on his right arm, while his left arm is significantly more armored. | |
|
| |
|
| Like Aqua and Ven, Terra wears armor on one arm, with his bearing similarities to both of his companions. Terra's armor shares the large, ornate crest (colored gold) with Ven and the long, segmented section (each segment alternating between dark grey and dark red) with Aqua, though Terra's is much longer, reaching all the way to the bottom of his hand. He also wears a black, fingerless glove on his hand and what appears to be a black gauntlet on his forearm, over the segmented armor, which also has small pieces of dark red armor on it. Finally, his armored boots are dark brown and gold. | | Like Aqua and Ven, Terra wears armor on one arm, with his bearing similarities to both of his companions.

| By touching the armor piece on his arm, Terra becomes fully clad in [[Keyblade Armor|armor]]. When in his suit in ''{{c|Birth by Sleep|video}}'', Terra is clad from head to toe in armor, mostly in shades of dark brown, gold, and red. Dull orange lines decorate the armor as well. Notable additions to his armor include upturned, sharp red hooks on the backs of his boots, a navy blue cape, and a dark-visored helmet. His helmet sports two tall, red prongs on either side. In ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', his armor is now slimmer, the colors on the armor are much brighter, and the cape is omitted. The dark brown is now shown to be black, as is the visor of his helmet.

| According to [[Tetsuya Nomura]], he is approximately 20 years old in ''Birth By Sleep''.<ref>[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2018-09-22/tetsuya-nomura-kingdom-hearts-will-not-end-with-kingdom-hearts-iii/.137160 Tokyo Game Show 2018]</ref>

| In the Japanese version of ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Terra is voiced by Ryotaro Okiayu. Tetsuya Nomura has stated in an interview that he cast Okiayu because his voice bore similar elements to both Chikao Otsuka, the voice actor for Master Xehanort, and Akio Otsuka, the voice actor for Xehanort.{{fact}}

| |
|
| His name means "Earth" in Latin, similar to Riku's name in Japanese meaning "land". The official Japanese website refers to Terra as the {{nihongo|"Vast Earth Protecting Bonds"|絆守る大地|Kizuna Mamoru Daichi}}<!--cite to japanese bbs website-->.

| ==Personality== | | ==Trivia== |
| Beneath Terra's calm and cool exterior hides his willingness to give his life for his friends, as well as his fear of defeat and desire for strength. This yearning therefore leads him to be constantly tempted by the darkness, similarly to Riku. Terra can also be overly trusting, which is something that villains use to take advantage of him, such as his obliviousness to the fact that Master Xehanort is attempting to seduce him into darkness. Because of this influence, he begins to doubt those most special to him, and only realizes his wrongdoings after they occur.
| | * Terra will be voiced by Ryotaro Okiayu, who previously voiced [[Setzer]] (a character originally from ''Final Fantasy VI'') in ''Kingdom Hearts II''. |
|
| |
|
| Despite his ties to darkness, Terra always holds his bonds with Ventus and Aqua in high esteem, wishing to fight for and help them even long after his possession. Terra-Xehanort, Xemnas and the Lingering Will all demonstrate instances of Terra's faded consciousness acting on Ventus and Aqua's behalf. He also holds Master Eraqus in high regard, viewing him as a surrogate father, crying at his apparent demise and later revealing that Eraqus's influence and strength has "set foot into" his heart, allowing him to resist total possession by Xehanort.
| | *Terra's belt buckle slightly resembles the symbol of the [[Heartless]], except yellow. The badges on Ven's and Aqua's chests and Master Eraqus's belt have the same form as Terra's buckle, except white. Turned upside down, it vaguely resembles the symbol of the [[Nobody|Nobodies]]. |
|
| |
|
| ==Abilities==
| | *Terra may become the second super-boss in the series to gain a playable role, succeeding Xemnas. However, this is still unknown, as it is not yet known whether the Lingering Sentiment is actually the same Terra from "Birth by sleep". |
| ===''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''===
| |
| Terra is the most powerful of the trio in terms of the damage aspect. He uses slow, but very heavy and hard-hitting attacks to decimate his enemies. Terra has a large assortment of {{c|attack command|BBS}}s, consisting of heavy attacks, like [[Ars Solum]], [[Brutal Blast]], [[Windcutter]], and [[Zantetsuken]]. He can also use some earth based attacks, like [[Geo Impact]] and [[Meteor Crash]], as well as dark based attacks, like [[Dark Haze]] and [[Chaos Blade]]. Two other attacks involve his HP, [[Limit Storm]], which deals more damage with low HP, and [[Sacrifice]], which expends HP for a single, powerful attack. Terra's utilizes his earth element through his exclusive Finish commands, [[Rising Rock]], [[Dark Star]], and his ultimate finisher, [[Demolition]]. Another finish command exclusive to him is [[Random End]]. Terra's slow attacks can be compensated by using a [[D-Link]] with Ventus, which enables him to attack more rapidly. | |
| | |
| Although not as skilled in magic as his classmate, Aqua, Terra has access to a broad variety of magic spells as well as four spells exclusive to him in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep''. Terra's affinity for earth lets him use the powerful [[Quake]] and [[Meteor]] spells. In addition, the power of darkness allows him to use the [[Dark Firaga]] spell. He can also use [[Warp]], which allows him to potentially wipe an enemy from existence, but will not leave any experience or prizes.
| |
| | |
| Beside a variety of these abilities usable by all three or two of the protagonists in ''Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep'', Terra has access to three exclusive [[Command Style]]s and three exclusive [[Shotlock]]s. His first exclusive command style is [[Critical Impact]], which utilizes slow but heavy hits to their maximum. His second style is [[Rockbreaker]], a second level style which uses his earth element and uses powerful, long-ranged ground attacks. His third style is {{c|Dark Impulse|bbs}}, a second level Command Style which uses the power of darkness and hits enemies with slow, heavy attacks, but also exhibits long-range projectile attacks.
| |
| | |
| Two of his exclusive Shotlocks utilize dark powers, [[Sonic Shadow]] and [[Dark Volley]]. His most powerful Shotlock, [[Ultima Cannon]], turns his Keyblade into a giant cannon.
| |
| | |
| Terra has access to [[Slide]], which gives him good distance from his enemy, but does not grant as much invincibility as Ventus's [[Dodge Roll]] or Aqua's [[Cartwheel]]. His [[Sonic Impact]] ability can extend from both Slide and [[Air Slide]], allowing him to perform a charge attack mid-slide. | |
| | |
| Terra briefly assists Ventus and Aqua on two occasions.

| <!--GENERAL OVERVIEW, FOCUSING ON EXCLUSIVE KEYBLADES, AND HOW HIS VERSIONS OF COMMON KEYBLADES DIFFER FROM OTHERS-->
| |
| Terra's exclusive Keyblades are primarily based on the earth element, referencing the Latin meaning of his name, and the darkness element, showing his attraction to darkness. The Earthshaker and the Darkgnaw can be seen as his weaker Keyblades, while the Ends of the Earth and the Chaos Ripper can be seen as an upgraded version of each Keyblade, respectively. His exclusive Keyblades are also focused primarily in strength, prominently shown by how the Chaos Ripper has the greatest attack bonus in the entire game. He also used to train using his Wooden Keyblade, which he passed down to Ventus later. His versions of common Keyblades are longer compared to Ventus's and Aqua's. When Terra summons his Keyblade, blocks and rings designed after his default Keyblade appear, revolving around his wrist.
