'''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]].

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.

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. Surprised, Xehanort summons dark hands to drag Aqua into darkness, but an enraged Terra summons chains of light to fend off Xehanort.{{storylink|Kingdom Hearts 0.2 Birth by Sleep -A fragmentary passage-}}

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 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.

{{Q|Yeah. You never stopped lighting my way back. [...] I heard you too, Ven. You found me, just like you promised. Thank you.|Terra tearfully thanks Aqua and Ven.}}

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.

[[File:Blank Points 09 KHBBS.png|rightt|thumb|Ventus and Terra say Sora's name.]]

In ''{{ssb|Super Smash Bros. Ultimate}}'', Terra appears in the 8 o'clock and alternative 7 o'clock Stations in the [[Dive to the Heart]] sections of the {{ssb|Hollow Bastion}} stage, as an obtainable {{ssb|spirit}} in Sora's {{ssb|DLC Spirits (mode)|Spirit Board}}, and is represented by {{ssb|Chrom (SSBU)|Chrom}} in {{ssb|Spirit#Spirit Battles|Spirit Battle}}.

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.

===''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.

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.

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.
