{{quote| ''"You live in a CAVE that is also a HIVE, but still mostly just a CAVE. You like to engage in FRIENDLY ROLE PLAYING, but not the DANGEROUS KIND. Never the DANGEROUS KIND. It's TOO DANGEROUS! Too many of your good friends have gotten hurt that way. Your daily routine is dangerous enough as it is. You prowl the wilderness for GREAT BEASTS, and stalk them and take them down with nothing but your SHARP CLAWS AND TEETH! You take them back to your cave and EAT THEM, and from time to time, WEAR THEIR PELTS FOR FUN. You like to paint WALL COMICS using blood and soot and ash, depicting EXCITING TALES FROM THE HUNT! And other goofy stories about you and your numerous pals."''}}

A cave-dwelling troll with an immense love of and fascination with the art of shipping, who maintains an extensive Shipping Wall.

In Sburb, she is the '''{{<span style="color|:#7f153d|R}};">Rogue of Heart</span>'''. Her trolltag is "{{<span style="color|:#5f8101|a}};">arsenicCatnip</span>".

* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: Her planet is named the '''L'''and '''O'''f '''L'''ittle '''C'''ubes '''A'''nd '''T'''ea.

* [[Leitmotif]]: [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922111049/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/walls-covered-in-blood Walls Covered In Blood], which is later remixed for her [https://web.archive.org/web/20130922112907/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/nepetas-theme walkaround theme].

{{quote| [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/40585720/Combined_Formspring_Web_Aug-28-2011.htm#mspadventures154501911809126617 Hussie:] If you look up Expendable Character in the dictionary you would see a picture of Nepeta batting around a ball of yarn while looking as adorable as possible.}}

* [[Stealth Pun]]: For a long while, Nepeta was... a ''[[SchrodingersSchrödinger's Cat]]''., Consideringconsidering she has enough circumstances to equally make it seem like she's alive and dead: On one hand, it's unlikely Gamzee would have left her be if she so much as twitched, but on the other hand, he could have simply beat her unconscious and was too busy looting Equius' corpse to notice. [https://web.archive.org/web/20110311142201/http://www.formspring.me/mspadventures/q/162876356407891383 Hussie] [[Word of God|has admitted]], more or less, that this is intentional. But more or less for all intents and purposes she's out of the story.

** If anything, [http://www.formspring.me/mspadventures/q/154501911809126617 Hussie enjoyed getting some mileage out of this one]{{Dead link}}. However, as of more current updates [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005611 the cat is observed.] Farewell, Nepeta. And then, just to put any doubt to rest, he addressed the issue [[Incredibly Lame Pun|head on]] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005660 here].

* [[Shipper Onon Deck]]: Keeps track of all of her friends and herself on her Shipping Wall of course! She takes shipping very seriously and keeps constant track of how relationships develop. She also has Nepeta<3Karkat marked off as her own personal [[OTP]].

* [[Shout -Out]]: Probably not an intentional one, but [[Doraemon|does that fursuit remind you of anyone?]]

** Her relationship to Equius is evocative of the relationship of Enkidu and [[The Epic of Gilgamesh|Gilgamesh]].

* [[Third Person Person]]: {{<span style="color|:#5f8101|>:}}33 < *ac doesn't see a reason not to role play at all times!*</span> Occasionally she'll slip and say something in the first person, hastily adding an "ac said" to the end.

{{quote| ''"You are one of the few of your kind who can withstand the BLISTERING ALTERNIAN SUN, and perhaps the only who enjoys the feel of its rays. As such, you are one of the few of your kind who has taken a shining to LANDSCAPING. You have cultivated a lush oasis around your hive, and in particular, you have honed your craft through the art of TOPIARY, sculpting your trees to match the PUFFY ORACLES from your dreams. You have embraced the tool of this trade, which conveniently is the weapon of choice for those who would hunt the HEINOUS BROODS OF THE UNDEAD which crawl from the sand at sunrise to feast on the light and the living."''}}

In Sburb, she is the '''Sylph of Space'''. Her trolltag is "{{<span style="color|:#008141|g}};">grimAuxiliatrix</span>".

** And just to add some extra badassery, Equius' shades (which Gamzee was wearing) just fall perfectly onto her face while she turns the blood-covered chainsaw back into lipstick, then applies it to her lips and licks the blood off. Vriska ''[[In Love Withwith Your Carnage|swoons]].''

{{quote| [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s{{=}}6&p{{=}}004238 All this blood and sunlight is stirring bright feelings within.] You often fantasize about being a true [[Our Vampires Are Different|rainbow drinker]] from your literature. It would be a life of darting between the shadows, of persecution and being misunderstood. And of ROMANCE. You would drink heavily from its multicolored well, and the hemospectrum would be your wine list preceding the great feast of passion. Surely it couldn't hurt. While no one is looking...

* [[Fan Girl]]: She discovered Rose's [[Game FAQsGameFAQs]] entries from the [[Timey -Wimey Ball|past/future]] and fantasizes about a troll version of Rose single-handedly leading her team to victory.

* [[Fearless Undead]]: She faces off against [[Super Strength|the Bard of Rage]], [[Power Gives You Wings|the Thief of Light]], and [[Frickin' Laser Beams|a white science wielding]] [[Face Heel Turn|Prince of Hope]] without a second thought. Check [[Crazy Awesome]] to see her actions prove this trope.

* [[Girl Withwith Psycho Weapon]]: Again, '''CHAINSAW'''. Subverted in that she is consistently the most rational and realistic of the trolls.

* [[Hope Spot]]: Shared with Tavros. "Alas, they [[Deader Than Dead|cannot be revived]]. Their dream selves [[Kill It Withwith Fire|have been slain]]." See also [[Unspoken Plan Guarantee]].

* [[Literal -Minded]]

* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: I'm sure she couldn't predict Eridan using the wand she made for him to duel Sollux into submission and then kill Feferi. And herself.

* [[One -Hit Kill]]: Happens to herself. [[Came Back Strong|Then she does it to the one who killed her]].

* [[Senseless Sacrifice]]: She doesn't even scratch Eridan before he kills her in [[One -Hit Kill|one hit]]. And she doesn't save the Matriorb, dooming the troll race to extinction.

** She's also completely sane and level headed, which by troll standards is very unusual.

* [[Three -Point Landing]]: Invoked with the [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005438 perfect landing of shades falling from the sky.]

* [[Took a Level Inin Badass]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005439 YES,] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005440 oh] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005441 so] [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=005442 much.]

* [[Unstoppable Rage]]: Subverted when she initially fights Eridan, who [[One -Hit Kill|kills her in one hit]]. Played straight when she comes back as a rainbow drinker and knocks Gamzee off a cliff with one hit. With the same angry expression, she then proceeds, [[Did Not See That Coming|perhaps surprisingly]], to punch out Vriska. Then she snaps Eridan's Science Stick in two and [[Half the Man He Used To Be|does something very similar to Eridan himself]].

You hope one day to join the honorable ranks of the LEGISLACERATORS."''}}

A blind troll law student who delights in being weird and messing with people; the only troll who is actually effective at trolling, she supplies the kids with hints on how to get ahead in Sburb, sometimes helpful, [[Mission Control Is Off Its Meds|sometimes not]].

She is the '''{{<span style="color|:#15934c|S}};">Seer of Mind</span>'''. Her trolltag is "{{<span style="color|:#008282|g}};">gallowsCalibrator</span>".

''[http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s{{=}}6&p{{=}}003947 SHE'S BLIND, REMEMBER?]''" }}

* [[Cursed Withwith Awesome]]: Why she prefers being blind.

* [[Head -Tiltingly Kinky]]: She likes Dave's [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/storyfiles/hs2/scraps/ohy34h.jpg obscene bucket comic], her [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004642 response] is "this comic is borderline pornographic, you are a really fucked up kid (it is fantastic, I love it)".

* [[Idiot Ball]]: Terezi's desire for revenge on Vriska gets to the point where she thinks Vriska is the one killing everybody. Partially because she keeps falling for the fake evidence Gamzee is setting up. <!-- There's been nothing to say >3> yet. -->

* [[Leitmotif]]: An odd example: while she has a few songs about her (The Lemonsnout Turnabout and <nowiki>L33TSP34K 4ND HORN3D SM1L13S >:]</nowiki>), her only official leitmotif is her [https://web.archive.org/web/20130425135051/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/track/terezis-theme walkaround theme].

* [[My God, What Have I Done?]]: She has one of these with John and Dave. With John she was simply unaware that her actions would have led to his death since the trolls know he's just fine (plus, the sequence of events this spawned ended up being tremendously helpful for the kids in general, so she was kind of vindicated on it). With Dave she instigated a series of time deals where she lied to Dave about the result of a coin flip to ensure that two timelines was created, one of which where Dave is doomed to die. When said event occurs, she runs off to have herself a cry.

* [[Nightmare Fuel StationattendantStation Attendant]]: Her treehouse is strung with plushies hanging from nooses from her mock trial sessions, and somehow she manages to be both somewhat creepy and strangely adorable.

* [[Self -Defeating Prophecy]]: [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/scratch.php?s=6&p=005732 Predicting what would have happened if she had let Vriska escape to fight Bec Noir]

* [[Shout -Out]]: Terezi is basically Alternia's version of [[Daredevil]]. It's even alluded to in the comic.

** Her track on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20131104182954/http://homestuck.bandcamp.com/album/alternia official troll album] is called "The Lemonsnout Turnabout". The ''[[Phoenix Wright]]'' games are known as ''Turnabout Trials'' in Japan, and each case in the games has Turnabout in the title (barring the DS extra, which is more a pun on the attorney's name).

* [[Starfish Language]]: She jokes about this.

"<span style{{=}}"color|:#008282|$}};">4ND SM3LL1NG 3ACH OTH3RS S3NT3NC3S</span>" }}

* [[Take That]]: "{{<span style="color|:#008282|G}};">GC: LUCK DO3SNT 4CTU4LLY M4TT3R >8] </span>" is an insult directed towards Vriska, which Dave wouldn't know.

* [[The Un -Reveal]]: Terezi takes her shades off for the first time post-blindness, and [http://www.mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004475 her eyes are just offscreen.]

* [[Two -Headed Coin]]: Albeit scratched on one side, like [[Batman|Two-Face's]].

* [[Vein -O -Vision]]: She claims in [http://mspaintadventures.com/?s=6&p=004475 this] conversation with Karkat that she can "smell" his red blood underneath his skin.

{{quote| "<span style{{=}}"color|:#008282|$}};">YOU S33 W3 4R3 M34NT TO B3 B3ST H4T3FR13NDS FOR3V3R</span>"}}

* [[You Taste Delicious]]: Thanks to her enhanced senses of taste and smell she describes the other trolls' blood as flavors. Karkat is cherry, as are the human kids, Sollux's eyes are apple-berry blast while his blood is {{<span style="color|:#008282|$}};">YUCKY MUST4RD</span>, and Tavros is chocolate.
