Name: Terra Cooper
Nickname: N/A
Age: 18
Birthday: June 12
Sign: Gemini
Gemstone: Emerald
Blood Type: AB
Fav. Food: Peach or apple crumble, preferably homemade.
Hated Food: Anything frozen and microwaveable. She'll eat it in a pinch, but she will not be happy.
School: Destiny City University
Hobbies:
Food || Terra absolutely loves to cook. There is nothing, in her opinion, more fun than pulling together an awesome meal from scratch. Baking is a delight as well, and she can get pretty messy about it! She's also a bit of a foodie; as much as she loves cooking for herself, she loves trying other peoples' cooking, and she also loves exploring the city for new restaurants or bakeries and is happy to meet up with other foodies at cooking classes or restaurant openings.
Gardening || When she was at home, Terra maintained a garden space in her parent's backyard; now that she's in an apartment just off the DCU campus, she keeps a ton of potted plants, mostly flowers and herbs and a few cacti. She's very careful with her plants, especially since a number of the decorative flowers she grows are poisonous! Her parents have been kind enough to upkeep her garden at home, so she goes there on weekends to do a little work in it herself and to harvest fruits and vegetables when they're in season.
Ikebana || On a whim, Terra took an ikebana class, and she became hooked. It's a purely solitary hobby, as it requires silent meditation as flowers are carefully shaped into small pieces of art, but she loves to indulge in it in her quiet moments. While she doesn't consider herself Buddhist (or religious at all), her favorite style is Rikka, for its elegant forms and lines. There are always several ikebana arrangements in her apartment, all ones she's done herself.
Tabletop RPGs || As odd as it may seem, Terra is a huge fan of tabletop RPGs from Dungeons and Dragons to Call of Cthulhu and everything in between. She prefers to be the GM/DM/Storyteller (as the game system declares); the only time she's stepped into a player role was the time her D&D group decided to do an evil-aligned campaign. Her favorite thing is creating memorable and interesting villains, and she likes to challenge her players without murdering them too viciously.
Virtues:
Protective || Terra cares a lot about her friends and family, and is intensely protective of them. She hates the idea that any of them might come to harm, whether that's emotional or physical, and while even this won't visibly shake her cool, one of her friends in pain is a good way to trigger her anger.
Honest || Terra very rarely lies. She doesn't really see a point in it. Lying is silly and inefficient; the truth will always be better anyway, even if it's a slightly creative version of the truth. Terra's friends all know that if you want to hear it straight, listen to her; even if the truth hurts, she's willing to give it.
Level-Headed || It is very, very difficult to shake Terra's cool. Even if she's furious inside, she'll be smiling calmly on the outside; at least partially because smiling in front of a tirade of insults is terrifying and disconcerting and watching people react to that is hilarious, but also because she feels like she'd get nowhere yelling back. She refuses to ever let anyone see her sweat. This also means that as a general rule, she tends not to let her emotions get in the way of logic when the situation calls for it. As much as she does care about people, sometimes you have to do what you have to do.
Flaws:
Manipulative || Terra will do whatever it takes to get what she wants, and often that means convincing other people to get it for her. Just because she never lies doesn't mean she's not above bending the truth to suit her needs, either; sometimes you have to tell the truth from a certain point of view in order to make sure things go just right. Once people realize she's playing them, things don't tend to go as well for her as they used to - nobody likes realizing they're being manipulated by someone they considered a friend, no matter how she swears it's well-intentioned.
Possessive || Terra has her people. They are her people, and she often reacts to feeling abandoned by a friend the way a jealous girlfriend might react to her boyfriend flirting with someone else. She becomes very passive-aggressive, sarcastic, sullen, and generally thoroughly bitchy - and this is about as visibly upset as she usually gets. Her friends tend to find this thoroughly frustrating, never mind that it's a pretty big departure from how level and cool she usually is. This is usually triggered if she feels a friend or loved one is paying more attention to someone else over her (and her trigger for what is "more attention" is set pretty low.)
Vicious || When she is upset, Terra is a force to be reckoned with. She has a very, very cruel streak, and isn't above very, very nasty revenge - often with little apparent warning, since she's likely never given a visible sign she's upset. This is the only time where her games of manipulation eventually become less subtle - once she's pulled off what she means to - and usually,if you're on the back end of her cruelty, it's pretty bad - she has to reveal her machinations and claim credit. She is very, very proud of how nasty she can be.

 Senshi: Sailor Salome, Corrupted Senshi of Oleander
Challenge: "The prettiest flowers are also the deadliest!"
Fuku Colour:
Main Color: Pale Pink
Secondary Color: Dark pink
Fuku:
Please see concept art by and be blue~
Attacks:
Sailor Scout Attack: Oleander's Touch!
Salome blows a kiss at one opponent within five feet of her, speaks the name of her attack, and oleander petals fly at them from her palm. If these petals contact their skin, they experience some of the topical effects of oleander, depending on where they land - skin irritation, inflammation, and rash. At this stage, clothing is able to protect against the effects, and they last for fifteen seconds. Salome can use this twice per battle.
Super Sailor Scout Attack: Oleander's Kiss!
Salome blows a kiss at one opponent within five feet of her, speaks the name of her attack, and oleander petals fly at them from her palm. If these petals contact their skin, they experience some of the topical effects of oleander, depending on where they land - skin irritation, inflammation, and rash. Clothing is no longer a protection - the petals will phase through it! The effects now last for twenty seconds. Salome can use this twice per battle.
Eternal Sailor Attack: Oleander's Embrace!
Salome spins around and winks, speaks the name of her attack, and in a five-foot radius around her, oleander petals begin raining down. At this stage, the petals have sharp edges, and anyone within the radius besides Salome herself can receive minor cuts from these. Anyone cut by the petals begins to experience two to three of the effects of oleander ingestion - nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, irregular heartbeat (and associated cold feeling in the extremities), drowsiness, or tremors. These are fairly nasty, but definitely not fatal! The petals remain for twenty seconds. Salome can use this once per battle.

Hello Song, here I am messing up your quest <3
Terra sounds cool & I love her Senshi side but I just want to confirm a few bits about her personality, mainly the "level-headed" & vicious side! (although in your possession trait your sentence at the end isn't finished off, i think there is a word missing?)
The main thing is that you've put Tera as very level headed so much so that it would take a lot, (a lot a lot) to get her annoyed. So having vicious as a fault in a person that you would have to work extremely hard at to get that point is soft of null, as the once great Mouse put it, "if it almost never applies, it's almost never going to have an impact on other characters." So although you have written the two traits great they seem to clash. She is either level headed all the time and that's fine, or she gets easily ticked off and she is vicious with it. With only 3 traits used its not really plausible to have one that is almost a 'secret' that can only be achieved when certain criteria is met.
Other than that she is fine!!!

I think I smoothed the two out a little - she's mostly externally level-headed and logical; inside she gets just as upset as anyone else and her reactions to being upset tend to be a leetle disproportionate. Like, you could be calling her all kinds of terrible things; she's standing there smiling and nodding and internally wondering how viable it would be to gaslight you >w>
