Terra was born in Mountain View, Missouri in 1987. She grew up in Mexico, Missouri where she could remember watching old episodes of Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation, which she believes may have started her down the geeky path.
An avid book reader, her favorite genres are science fiction and fantasy. Terra also plays video games, a habit that started with the NES, and tabletop RPGS, of which her favorite is Dungeons & Dragons 3.5 edition. She can usually be found doing any of those things or binge watching movies or shows on Netflix, where she has a million things she still needs to watch or rewatch. She has far too many fandoms to list.
