~Character Info~
Name: Terezi Pyrope
Series: Homestuck
Gender: Female
Age and year: 15, 5th year
Appearance: Terezi is thin and lanky, but not very tall, only a few inches above five feet. She’s all pointy knees and elbows, slim hips, and not much chest to speak of. Her auburn hair nearly reaches her shoulders and is messily cut, with uneven bangs and choppy layers that flip outwards. Her eyes are a cloudy teal, damaged by prolonged exposure to the sun; usually she wears red tinted sunglasses to protect her eyes, although she really doesn’t need them. When she sticks out her tongue, she freaks people out; ridiculously long would be a mild way of putting it.
Personality: Eccentric would be a decent way to describe Terezi. Growing up isolated from other kids her age she tends to overreact in situations, usually she’s just being dramatic and isn’t serious though. She appears to be constantly happy, if happy means smiling creepily and cackling manically at everything. It seems like she never takes anything seriously, constantly grinning and going out of her way to make people around her uncomfortable.
Despite Terezi’s outward appearance (and her licking habit) she is actually fairly deep. Imbedded with a strong sense of justice, she will always fight for what is right, even if she has to fight in her own twisted way. She will cheat and claw her way do whatever it is she needs to do. Terezi is in fact very intelligent and calculating, her mind is always going a mile a minute. On the outside she appears apathetic to what people say about her, but she does care and is sensitive.
She’s got a twisted way of showing that she cares about people, but she does! Really, she does. She has emotions other than sociopathic, she can give good advice when the need arises. Especially good legal advice, very good legal advice. Although, even when she’s legitimately being nice to someone and trying to help them she can come off as snarky and sarcastic.
Canon history: Terezi Pyrope is one of the twelve trolls from Homestuck. She was raised by her guardian, a drHer eyes were burned out in a fit of revenge by Vriska Serket, the reasoning behind this act is a very long story. Though she can “see” by “tasting” things around her, often causing her to lick things. After her planet was destroyed while playing the game Sgrub she, along with the other trolls take refuge in a meteor. She begins contacting the four main kids and both causing trouble and helping them.
~AU Info~
AU history: Terezi was born in the rolling green hills of sheep country Scotland. Her mother was young when she had her, having a one night stand with a man she met in a bar, whom was a wizard that was just passing through. After Terezi was born, her mother left her daughter with her parents to “seek her fortune” in Paris, cutting all ties with her family. Terezi grew up basically doing whatever she wanted, which was mostly frolicking around and pretending she was a dragon.
When she was seven years old a game she was playing with other children went a bit too far. She was pinned down and her eyes forcibly held open with two magnifying glasses aiming the sun directly into her retinas. The result was permanent damage to her eyes, not blinding her, but causing her to be legally blind. She can’t see distinct shapes, only smudges of colors that blur badly when moving. Due to her lack of depth perception she usually carries around a custom made cane, which she uses less for getting around and more for hitting people upside the head. After this incident she played only with herself, isolating herself from the other kids.
At the age of eleven she had displayed a remarkable skill that normal eleven year olds did not possess. She would occasionally be able to tell the outcomes of situations; true or false questions, things that have a 50/50 chance. Occasionally she would get in trouble in school for "cheating", she endured many days without precious internet or television. Missing her cop shows was considered a crime in her opinion.
Soon she received a letter from a strange school, her grandparents of course thought it was a joke and ignored it. More letters soon arrived and they continued to ignore the letters, and increased Terezi’s punishment. Eventually a representative from the Ministry of Magic was deployed to their home and had to explain everything to Terezi and her grandparents. They were a bit skeptical at first, but soon accepted the fact that their daughter had banged a wizard.
Hogwarts both overjoyed Terezi and terrified her. Being in a new place surrounded by kids her own age excited her and scared her nearly out of her mind. Walking around that huge school by herself, hardly being able to see, she tripped often, and got stuck in trap steps more than once. Eventually she began to fit in, like an awkward battered puzzle piece in a huge, awkward, chewed-up puzzle.
Terezi’s boggart would be a black cloud that completely obscured her vision. She’s terrified that one day she will completely lose her sight and won’t even see colors. Although she has considered magical means of repairing her vision, she has grown accustomed to her lack of sight and doesn’t wish to change herself.
House: Gryffindor. This was actually a tough choice, and the hat thought long and hard. In the end, Terezi’s sense of justice ruled out other defining factors; the law is always on the forefront of her mind.
Magical Strengths and Weaknesses: Terezi is very good in History of Magic class, having a knack at remembering facts such as dates, names, and places. Despite what everyone else may think, she takes very good notes in all her classes (using her strange writing quirk) and does fairly well. She’s also pretty good in Divination (she's slightly prophetic, but only with 50/50 situations) and Transfiguration. Potions and Herbology are not her strong points, at all.
Wand: 8 ¼ inches, Cherry, Dragon Heartstring.
Other: Terezi collects rare dragon scales, especially the really colorful and shiny ones. She also tends to write in T34L 1N 4LL C4PS WH1L3 US1NG L33T SP34K. Though she doesn’t write essays and such using this quirk, she uses it in personal notes just to annoy everyone. She’s also obsessed with red things (she can see the color red the best), she likes to lick them, especially if they’re cherry flavored (she has those markers that you can lick and adores them).

“Crap!” Terezi exclaimed as her butt hit the ground awkwardly and painfully. She proceeded to obey the laws of gravity and slide down the stairs a bit so that she was nearly hanging by her leg; her head lower than her feet.
Limbs splayed awkwardly, the teenager proceeded to lie on her back for several long moments. A lock of light reddish-brown hair fell across her face, she didn’t bother sweeping it out of the way. From mid-shin down her leg was trapped in the tread of the stairs she had been climbing. Damn trick staircases got a kick out of tripping her up.
Of course no one was around, although Terezi supposed that was good for her. She didn’t really want to be seen as the crippled blind girl on the first day of classes. That would ruin the persona she spent years building up. Imagine; maniacal witch thwarted by staircase, even first years would laugh!
With that thought in mind she gave a huff and heaved herself up, using her leg as leverage. It was rather like doing a sit-up, only harder because she was at an angle and wasn’t one for exercise. Her cane had tumbled down the staircases when she fell, she could retrieve it with an accio spell once she was out of the damn tread.
A few minutes, many curses (not the magical kind), and a lot of excertion later her leg was free and she was wobbling up the staircase, red and white cane in hand. This time, she made sure to check each tread for tricks, she wasn’t falling for that again.
