Terra (DC Animated Movie Universe)

Terra (full name Tara Markov) is an on & off heroine and villainess of the DC Animated Movie Universe and the secondary antagonist (later a redeemed villain) in Teen Titans : The Judas Contract. She later sacrificed her own life to save her teammates and got killed because of it. 
She is voiced by Christina Ricci, who also played as Wednesday Addams in the 1991's Addams Family film.
==Personality==
Terra was a product of her tragic background. When her powers manifested, her entire village turned against her; her parents, the people who she believed would always protect her, did nothing, allowing the villagers to torture her. Before she could be killed, she was rescued by Deathstroke, which caused her to become attached to him, with the trauma of the moment warping her emotions to make it particularly strong, despite his lack of psychological support. 
Deathstroke trained her and provided for her; he exploited her trauma to make her entirely dependent upon him, and the hormones of adolescence made her dependence warp into an erratic and romantic interest, which he encouraged, although didn't engage, either due to lacking actual attraction to her or opting to keep her loyal by forcing her to pine for the promise of reciprocation. 
While she was sent to infiltrate the Teen Titans, she was somewhat lax about the deception, since she was unfriendly and reluctant to actually engage in team-building. Her recalcitrant attitude was able to be excused by the team presuming her background being painful, as well them being compassionate overall. Terra's cynicism born from her parents' abandoning her made her unreceptive, doubtful, and even upset at the Titans' attempts to make her feel welcome; her village's violent reaction to her simply existing made her fail to accept the compassion from the team checking on her well-being after her PTSD made her almost kill Beast Boy. Although, despite her cynicism, the team's consistent sincerity, especially from Beast Boy, made her start to believe their kindnesses; despite her lust and need for Deathstroke, Beast Boy's pure heart, affection, and optimism made her fall in love with him. 
Terra became conflicted about the plan to ambush and imprison the team, yet fearing that the team would ultimately reject her when they found out that she was a mole, she remained obedient to Deathstroke's scheme. While she would try to reassure her decision by taunting Robin, his perceptive deduction of how Deathstroke had manipulated her made her almost hysterical in rage due to guilt and fear. Once most of the Titans were captured, she degraded and mocked her former teammates, which seemed to suggest overcompensation that she used in an attempt to convince herself that she had chosen the correct side, as well as trying to expunge her positive feelings that she had developed for them. 
After Deathstroke betrayed her, Terra was shocked and distressed, with her entire worldview being shattered; although, it also seemed to make her understand that Robin's foreboding observations were correct. When the power draining machine exploded and she recovered, Terra fell into a violent rage, as she aggressively pursued and attacked Deathstroke. Despite being driven by vengeance, when Terra saw Beast Boy, she suffered the crushing guilt of her betrayal, thus creating a wall to keep the Titans away to protect them from her final assault; she wailed and used her powers to collapse the entire temple down on herself and Deathstroke. When Beast Boy had dug through the rubble to find her, she showed an appreciative and apologetic smile, then died from her self-inflicted injuries. 
Despite her collaboration in Deathstroke's plan to destroy the Titans, Terra wasn't inherently malicious, rather she was a victim of a traumatic childhood, and exploited into following a cruel scheme out of misguided loyalty and affection to her "saviour" Deathstroke; her pain and trauma made her struggle to even trust people beyond Deathstroke, but given time and care, she could have become a hero like Beast Boy believed that already was - her suicide reflected that she had been consumed by guilt and revenge, but she ensured that the Titans wouldn't suffer death after all.

==Trivia==
*Her only major appearance is in Teen Titans : The Judas Contract.
*She was similar to the version of Terra in Teen Titans (2003), as she was the love interest of Beast Boy, and worked with Deathstroke (or Slade in 2003) to sabotage, ambush, and capture the team. Although, this Terra was taken in by Deathstroke before being sent to the Titans, whereas Terra 2003 had met the Titans, and then was met and manipulated by Slade.
