Personality: Terezi’s personality can be broken down into a few main points:
1) She’s a troll. She has seen some shit. And not seen, I guess. Basically, what you need to know is that Trolls sure are weird. No, they really are. Not even kidding. Being a troll means she is significantly more desensitized to violence than your typical 14 year old human and hey culture clash is awesome.
But she’s also a mega internet troll. One of the few successful ones out of all the trolls.
Each Troll has the ability to talk to any of the main characters during any point in their timeline. Some Trolls decide to troll all over the place, like Karkat with his crazyass Trolling-Backwards theme. But Terezi claims that Weird Time Stuff hurts her head-- she trolls in a very time-linear fashion.
When trolling John, she acts generally very sketchy and rude. Once he starts the game, at some point she convinces him to skip ahead, bypassing most of the Riddle Shit one is supposed to do, and to go fight the Denizen before it wakes up. This results in him dying, creating an alternate timeline where, after 4 months, Dave gets fed up and goes back in time, telling her to back off. She explains how she knew John wouldn't die, because she can see his whole timeline and she knew he didn't die there. BUT, she expresses guilt when she finds about the Weird Time Stuff, since the Dave from the doomed future is Incredibly Pissed.
She moves to Rose (who she declares is a "H4T3FR13ND"), but most of her interactions happen with Dave. Once they start the game, she becomes surprisingly helpful to him. In fact, their constant dorkiery causes Karkat to summon Dave and John into a chatroom and warn them to stop flirting. Enchanté. It doesn't work (surprise). Bullshit happens, and sometimes she helps Dave troll Karkat for the lulz. It is ridiculous and wonderful.
2) She’s smart. She is obsessed with the law, and her room is covered in all sorts lawbook piles that she reads all the fucking time. Before SGRUB happened, she was determined to be a legislacerator, like her ancestor Redglare. A legislacerator is like a bounty hunter, lawyer, and executioner all in one. Best goal in life ever, and it means she is obsessed with justice.
The second point in her smartness favor is the fact that she’s also blind. Coming from a race that finds any and all reasons to cull the weak, the fact that she’s survived means she knows how to take care of herself, and she knows how to thrive. But that’s not all, because Terezi also grew up without a lusus. Lusi are basically massive monster parents that trolls have, and often times, if a child loses their lusus, they are either culled or don’t survive. In fact, in order to leave the caves where troll grubs face various trials as offspring, they almost need a lusus. (Un)fortunately, Terezi’s lusus is a dragon that hasn’t hatched by the time her story starts. So that means she raised herself, an already incredibly difficult feat, but also was blind.
