Biography: Terra was born in Swansea, Wales to Muggles Suvo and Lassie Addams, but six months after their birth, Lassie died due to an illness that come about right after giving birth to Terra. From then on, Suvo raised Terra in his own house where he also took care of his very elderly mother. Suvo was a very hardworking and empathic man, who had a job as a special education teacher by day and a job as an accountant by late afternoon and evening. Around the age of two, Terra's problems started to arise. Terra struggled to pay attention to the teachers in preschool.
They could never stick to one single activity at a time, and they just wanted to get into everything around them. The doctors eventually saw this as the start to an ADHD diagnosis. Terra had also had developmental issues. They hadn't been able to talk, even while in preschool, until the age of five. Terra also struggled to keep up in reaching developmental milestones that other kids were reaching far faster than they were. The doctors started theorize that Terra also had autism, especially when it became evident that they couldn't understand or read social and emotional cues. Terra struggled to connect with the other kids their age and couldn't read people's facial expressions, body language, and emotions. The one good thing was that Terra was exceptionally smart, with an IQ of 140. They could memorize anything they saw or heard. And they always got top grades in their class. For that reason, Terra loved to go to Muggle school, but only to learn. They really didn't like the kids, since the kids were mean to them because they were disabled. But Terra did love to learn, and their favorite subjects included art, science, and math. Terra also found out that in their free time at home, they liked to do arts and crafts, roller blade, and dance freestyle. They would play loud music in their room and try to dance their troubles away. Terra also liked to read and watch sci-fi, romance, horror, and musicals. Around the age of six, Terra started to realize that they didn't want to be referred to as a female. At that point, they didn't know what it was called, but they didn't want to be referred to as any specific gender. Two years later, at the age of eight, Terra decided to research what they were going through and learned that they were struggling from a bit of gender dysphoria. They didn't want to fully become a male. Instead, Terra wanted to be neither gender, or non-binary. Terra read up that some people went by they/them pronouns, and those were the pronouns that Terra now preferred to go by. Also at the age of eight, Terra first discovered that they could use magic. This came as a shock to Suvo and his family, who were all a bit freaked out by Terra's magical abilities. They started to shun Terra, so Terra spent more time outside than with the family. They liked rollerblading the stress away. However, one day, during the summer after they turned eight, Terra was rollerblading down the middle of the street, when a car came speeding up behind them. Terra couldn't get out if the way quick enough, and the driver rammed into them, sending them flying a few feet forward in the street. Terra ended up breaking a major ligament in their back, as well as breaking the bone in their upper right arm. In order to relocate the arm and be saved from paralysis from the waist down, Terra had to have surgery on both parts of their body, leaving awfully ugly and noticeable scars. Terra started to develop extreme anxiety for a perfect life without change, failure, and disappointment, and this became very hard for Terra. Terra felt so embarrassed that their father homeschooled them until they turned eleven and a Hogwarts staff delivered them their Hogwarts acceptance letter. While the family knew and now accepted that Terra could do magic, they were all rather shocked to learn that Terra was accepted at Hogwarts. But Terra immediately replied that they would be attending Hogwarts because they wanted to rid themself of their current meaningless, sad life. And that's what hen Terra started their journey in the wizarding world, a journey that was worth it.

First Instance of Magic: The first time Terra used magic was actually right before their accident. Terra was on the roof of their house helping their dad fix some loose panels that were causing an allowance of water leakage in the house and rot on the ceiling. So, Terra's dad had to fix that immediately. Terra kept running around all hyper on the roof, getting tools and equipment for their dad and occasionally playing dangerously close to the edge. Suddenly, Terra fell backwards and was falling upside down, about to land on their head, when suddenly they found themself sitting upright, unscathed in the grass. No one understood what has happened, but it was the first time Terra used magic, and it was to save themself from death. Terra was ecstatic to learn that they could do something unusual and cool, even though they didn't know what it was exactly. Terra had fallen from a three-story-high roof upside down, and they managed to land sitting up in the grass with no injuries or pain or cuts and bruises. It wasn't until the second time Terra accidentally used magic that the family knew something was up. Terra overheard their cousins talking trash about them and they got so angry that they unconsciously caused the lights to flicker off for a moment and broke the glass cup in their oldest cousin's hand, and the broken glass cut their cousin. All anyone could remember was Terra's seething eyes on their cousin when it happened, and that's when they all started to notice that Terra could do magic. Terra's family was scared because this was a foreign concept to them, the concept of being able to do magic, but Terra was excited to finally be able to do something personalized to them. Terra finally felt a little bit special.
