| - Terezi Pyrope, also known by her Trollian handle, gallowsCalibrator, is one of the trolls and is one of the main characters in Homestuck. Her handle refers to two things associated with her. The gallows part refers to the noose where people are hanged, alluding to her interest of hanging her stuffed animals, as well as her interest in law. Her ancestor, Redglare, had been killed by the gallows, which could also be an allusion made by the Trollian Handle. The second part, Calibrator, refers to her being the troll which "calibrates" all of the other trolls, and keeps them focused on the tasks at hand (it also has her zodiac sign, "Libra", in it). Another theory is that she is the one who, literally or figuratively, calibrates the gallows where wrongdoers are hanged, referencing her desire for justice, order, and law; as well as her fervent beliefs that breakers of those laws must be punished with due severity. Her associated zodiac sign is Libra (♎). Introduced in Homestuck: Act 4, she has pointy teeth like Karkat, but her horns are perfectly conical as opposed to being curved at all like most other trolls. Terezi was supposed to be the leader of the Red Team until Karkat convinced her to revoke the position to him.
- Terezi is a lot of things. Angrily polite, suspiciously civil, devilishly flirty, and outright sociopathic... just to give you a very rough idea. There are many different facets of her personality worth exploring. Like many of the Homestuck trolls, the aforementioned characteristics just barely scratch the surface of the complex personality of Terezi Pyrope, gallowsCalibrator, wannabe Legislacerator, and Seer of Mind. Growing up in near isolation in a forest on the troll home world of Alternia, Terezi has immersed herself in a plethora of interests coincidentally befitting her affiliation with the star sign Libra. She is utterly fascinated with dragons and their colorful scales (scales being a pun on Libra), she is shown to have a strong fondness for justice (also related to Libra), and she, just like Lady Justice, is blind. Because of this passion, she revels in orchestrating the demise of the wicked, and studies brutal Alternian law via a rather impressive collection of law books she keeps in her hive. When she's doing neither of these things, she is usually staging mock trials with her posse of dragon plushies, known as Scalemates, assuming her dream role as a Legislacerator, a cunning and ruthless herald of justice. Despite possessing strong moral obligations due to her penchant for law, Terezi can be downright sociopathic at times, as seen in her manipulation of not just the humans, but other trolls as well. Aided by remarkable insight to the innerworkings of others, Terezi's very skilled at being able to crawl into others' headspaces and knowing which buttons to push. As a result, she's really good at trolling the everloving fuck out of people, or getting her way in just about any situation. Her amazing observational skills and subsequent exploits make her the envy of her rival and former Scourge Sister, Vriska Serket, as she is able to play upon and deceive others without the aid of psychic powers. But the important thing to remember about Terezi is that she does boast a strong sense of right and wrong, and never sets out to troll others with malicious intentions in mind. This is proven by an incident with John, who she inadvertently gets killed in an alternate, offshoot timeline after a trolling attempt goes terribly wrong. Her intention was not to kill the poor boy, and she immediately feels remorse after the fact, going as far as genuinely helping him reach the second gate into the Land of Light and Rain to earn his trust. Additionally, Terezi is rarely ever serious in these exploits, and her more lighthearted attempts at trolling are rather silly, and more obnoxious than they are harmful. Terezi is the only troll who is able to make the ever-nonchalant Dave lose his cool, a feat rather telling of her trolling prowess. And she was able to do so by merely photoshopping crudely drawn glasses onto images of 80's and 90's child moviestars and drawing hideous slash fanart of him. In fact, there is very little that Terezi takes seriously, and she is almost always seen grinning wide and cackling madly. It's safe to say that she delights in unnerving others, evident by things like hijacking Karkat's memos, turning his leadership attempts into an outright circus, and banning him. From his own memo. Yep. She's exceptionally skilled at pissing off Karkat and never passes up an opportunity to do just that. It's important to note that while she's all about fun and games, Terezi can get serious when the need arises. Before the series of accidents that forces her to stop FLARPing (a form of extreme roleplaying) with her friends, Terezi considered herself a vigilante of sorts paired up with her fellow Scourge Sister, Vriska. Together the two take out bad guys, feeding them to Vriska's voraciously monstrous lusus. It's not until Vriska kills Aradia and paralyzes Tavros-- two trolls very much undeserving of such punishment-- that Terezi calls it quits. Of course, she takes the matter of punishing Vriska for her crimes into her own hands, resulting in a circle of revenge that costs Vriska an arm and her eight-fold vision, and Terezi her eyesight in return. Oh yes-- Terezi's blindness is very real. Trolls of the higher, blue-blooded classes (or teal, in Terezi's case) are immune to psychic prodding and manipulation, forcing Vriska to PSYCHIC DOUBLE REACH-AROUND Tavros into communing with Terezi's sleeping lusus, who in turn forces Terezi to sleepwalk out into the open and stare at the blistering Alternian sun. The sun is very damaging to trolls, hence they are a largely nocturnal race, and being forced to stare at it burns her eyes to a red crisp. However, much to Vriska's chagrin, Terezi revels in her blindness, effectively spiting her rival once again. She is grateful for the entire ordeal because it brings her closer to her lusus, who communicates with her in her sleep and teaches her how to "see" using her other senses. Terezi develops synethesia as a result, an ability that allows her to perceive the world around her using taste and smell in lieu of sight. This is how she's able to taste colors and relate them to different flavors, with red being her favorite. And while her other senses have compensated for her lack of vision, it's nowhere near as good as being able to see, as shown in this panel illustrating Terezi's view of Prospit. As such, she does use a cane to help her get around. Recent developments in canon reveal a softer, more human side to a few of the trolls, Vriska and Terezi especially. Despite knowing what would become of Doomed Dave, Terezi reacts in a way that surprises even her-- she shoves Karkat away and runs crying from the room. Like the remorse she felt over John's death, Doomed Dave's death, regardless of the fact that she orchestrated the entire thing and knew what was coming, forces feelings in her that she doesn't really understand. In a conversation with Dave shortly thereafter, on a mission to bring Vriska to justice for the deaths in the Veil, she professes her insecurities and questions her lifelong dream of becoming a Legislacerator. The apprehension she feels knowing she must kill Vriska makes her doubt her own integrity as a troll, but it's much deeper than that. It reveals a side of her that is decidedly human in nature, and likely something akin to weakness that could easily get her culled in troll society. It's not just discovering a softer side, but a fear of realizing that right and wrong have nothing to do with the law, dashing the entire creed by which she lives. And it's not easy.
- A member of the same species as Vriska Serket and Sollux Captor, Terezi Pyrope also seems to be a good friend of the individual Dave Strider. Her trolling handle was first seen being used to contact Klak, but she was only featured briefly before disappearing for a significant amount of time. Due to a need for obscenely large amounts of grist to Alchemize a new weapon for herself, in her physical introduction, Terezi teleported to the Land of Heat and Clockwork in order to collect grist from a dungeon alongside Dave. This is where most of her abilities and personality traits were first displayed. Like all of her kind introduced thus far, Terezi's text - Typed or spoken aloud - Features a number of quirks. Namely, it is all boldened and colored cyan like the symbol on her shirt, and she speaks very 3MPH4T1C4LLY 4ND W1TH 4 C3RT41N M4N1C FL41R. >: ]
