Tor-IaNa

Tor-IaNa, or Terrana as she chose amongst humans, is a Lesser Ba'al who worshipped the Sovereign and had a kind of hero reverence for Caritas, going so far as to take care of the flowers Celeste had planted at the Red Dorm when she found herself stuck there due to severe bad luck in her entrance exams.

## Personality

Relatively calm in every day life.  Enjoys simple things like tending the flowers that she learned were planted around the Red Dorm long ago by the hero Caritas.  Has a bit of a temper though, however, and an aggressive streak that ended up with her in the Avenger's care.

## Biography

### Backstory

Tor-IaNa didn't join the school after the exodus from Greater Ba'al, but was inspired by the humans who courageously fought against the Devourer, and broke her in defiance of all logic and common sense.  Decided to enroll in Duel Academy to see if she could become a stronger duelist like the humans who fought back oblivion.  Ended up in Red because of *abysmal* luck in using her deck that was inspired by reports of how her Goddess duels, combined with the limitations on the power of Pendulums inherent in Link Format.

### Seaside Rumble 3

Terrana met the Raiders slowly, given being generally uninvolved with everything going on, though she did have a moment of utter fear when meeting several Raiders, specifically Muse and Rai, when Rai casually dropped that Muse (going by Sayo) was the Propagation. Terrana also unwisely referred to her as Ec Tisia's faithful tended to, as "The Betrayer", which Muse very quickly informed her *not to do again.* Of course, adding onto her shock was her first meeting with the Avenger, who appeared casually behind Her Voice when Azure mentioned her.

She viewed Negative Numbers for the first time when Akahito dueled Rinku - though he lost the first round without summoning one, he offered a rematch and used both of his Negative Numbers to destroy the Toon duelist while Terrana watched from hiding. She shared her info with other red students: Mirai and Tony, and they formed a loose group they called the Liberators - while she knew from Delaga (who she had told about Akahito) that the Raiders were compromised, they wanted to have a way to communicate. Although, Terrana desperately knew she had to do something about her cards as well, given that the only duels she had won were ones she had managed to top Skill Drain in.

She picked up the D/D series of cards, and by choosing that was already leaning a way in herself for a more personal choice - possibly shifting her alliance. The Avenger was aware of her already as well, and the though of a High Ba'al that's more personally accessible was a very tempting choice. Amongst the Sovereign's flock, she was one of a legion - in the Avenger's service, she'd be one of just a few. It was very, very tempting - and since she knew The Avenger and her Voice worked on the same general side as The Greater Good, she felt it wouldn't be betraying her Sovereign too much. After a test duel with Mirai, she knew her choice was right. Maybe instead of choosing a deck (Qlip) based on her deity, choosing her deity based on her deck - that caused itself pain for power - was the correct decision. So, when the Avenger directly asked - she accepted, as well as accepting the snakebite of Azure Gorgon's mark. She wasn't alone as a new follower of the Avenger for long, either; as her new roommate Namiko also bore the Pain of her fangs, mostly as protection against the potential threat of SaaZe.

She made her first move in the conflict against the Angels by engaging Rinku, who had been corrupted by Akahito, to a duel after seeing him near the Red Dorm. She started off passively, goading him to use his Negative Number, and then turned it on full force, destroying his Number with Superdoom King Purplish Armageddon and wiping out his ability to fight back with Siegfried, earning her Goddess and the Liberators another victory against the darkness. Immediately after, two angels appeared; one that Namiko calls Marchen (though the Angel called herself Taliel), and the other that looked hauntingly like the Avenger and her Voice. Terrana tried to tell the Avenger about them mentally, but got yanked through the Seal to where the Avenger was before the duel began with Namiko and Tony (who had seen the aftermath) against the two Angels.

She spent a lot of time with Namiko, including having Namiko convince her to stop wearing her contacts, which revealed that her eyes constantly swirled in a light blue shade, in a lightly hypnotizing fashion. She also helped Namiko realize that many of the things she saw as weaknesses in herself were strengths should she overcome them, or things she liked anyway - like having her hair stroked, as Namiko had realized both when praised by Charna for information and when she had an encounter with Lord doing what Lord does best. So, she was with Namiko when the latter encountered Loptr and Krystal at the arena (the latter being terrified by the former implying she was going to be eaten). She cheered on her roommate when Namiko defeated the former Devourer in a duel, and then stared in shock and what she eventually realized was *jealously* when Loptr snagged a kiss from Namiko. When Loptr referred to Namiko as Terrana's girlfriend, neither of them exactly argued the point - Namiko being interested, and Terrana realizing she was as well, and that the protective way she had acted towards Namiko certainly implied that already. They even got the blessing of their goddess, albeit after a highly disturbing display of gloating from the Avenger, using the defeated angel Lailah as a chair and general biting tool, even snapping the angels wings to let them heal back wrong just to cause more pain.
