Happy Birthday, Terra Branford!


"A mysterious girl born with the innate ability to use magic, despite it having disappeared from the world 1,000 years ago. With no knowledge of her unique birth to esper and human parents, she is utilized by the Gestahlian Empire via mind control as a living weapon to further their plans to control the world. She regains her senses, however, after a chance encounter with an Esper encased in crystal during an assignment in the town of Narshe, and FFVI protagonist Locke persuades her to join their resistance against the Empire."

October 18th is Terra Branford's special day! One of my all-time favorites from a very treasured game, Final Fantasy VI (Top 3 Final Fantasy for me). While Terra won't be the main face of the Final Fantasy series, she does have enough appreciation and presence and her game is regarded as one of the best. With that said, I'm here to share my some amazing artwork from the community that pay respect to the main protagonist of Final Fantasy VI. Let's go!


This is a beautiful artwork. It's our Half-Esper, the Half-Human leading lady. Of course, this story ends up pretty tragic. At least Terra gets some justice for the sins that were done to her and her family/her people.


I have this strange feeling that this artwork had been shared before. Regardless if I did or did not do, this art is awesome. Nibelart really paid a respectful homage to Amano's original artwork.



Terra is a colorful person both in her outfit choices and her (eventually) personality. Though to see her in black & white sketch is something to adore, for sure.


Yes, blonde Terra! Esper's Progeny is definitely an outfit I loved as the years went by.


But of course, Benevolent Maiden is my favorite outfit.


In the East, she is known as Tina. I'm not totally against that name but I feel that Terra sounds a bit more grounded (no pun, I promise) to the theme of Protagonists' names from that time of the series. Terra to earth, Cloud to the sky, Squall to the storm, and Tidus to water.





She's been drawn with blue or purple eyes. I don't mind either but I prefer purple. Makes her look more unique.


What's this? Terracest?! Yeah, I'm down for this. I love the contrast of her outfits!


Halloween Terra? Tricks and Treats, for sure!


Though we all know that Terra doesn't need a costume since, ya know, she can just transform into an Esper and look like a hot monster.




Terra's arc with the kids does bring her in for a full circle.


It's a well-known fact that I have had a lot of commissioned art in my gallery. Here is a fraction of them revolving around Terra. They're not all here, mind you, but I tried to be a bit more... celebratory because it's Terra's day.

From Victorious Vixens to lone pictures, to other interactions, I am very happy with the collection I gained regarding Terra.


Happy Birthday, Terra Branford!


Here's to many more years of celebrating Terra Branford's existence and to Final Fantasy VI containing our lead lady's story. No matter what, you'll always be one of my Main Four! DiD or not, you and I will have plans together!


Until Next Time!
