Terry (トオル, Tōru?) is a supporting character from Star Ocean: Anamnesis. She is a low-ranking citizen of Levarance. She is best friends with Kurt and Val.
Story[]
Terry lived in Residential Sector 8 until its evacuation in S.D. 537 due to the Devil's Plague. Due to a power grid failure, several transport lifts broke down and many people got stranded, including Terry. However, she met Ralph and Val and was able to board the shuttle with their help. Ralph, who had been infected, remained behind but asked Val to take care of his little brother, Kurt. Val and Terry found the boy and befriended, becoming inseparable ever since. Like other low-ranking citizens, the three were sent to work to Dvaleor's mining operation.
In S.D. 539, Terry meets the captain and Evelysse after they deactivate the pulse tower. Terry hides in the shadow of a boulder but Evelysse notices her presence. Terry is terrified and prays for "God, Buddah, Towerlord" to save her. She asks for mercy and hides until Kurt appears. When armed forces approach and Coro alerts them, Terry runs off with Kurt, looking for Val.
Eventually, Terry and Kurt find Val, who vouches for their trustworthiness. They agree to answer their questions, but there isn't much they know. They tell them of a device at a warehouse that could have answers. Terry, Val and Kurt thus learn that Operation: Frost caused the destruction of planets from the core. Val wonders what they can do to undo the wrong. Evelysse suggests that they help end Eldram's tyranny. Terry reflects that it would mean putting their friends and family in danger. The party understands and thanks the trio for all they did.
Afterwards, Terry, Val and Kurt tell the other citizens what has been happening and they quickly band together to rebel. Terry and Val then rescue Evelysse and the captain from Eldram and his forces by causing an explosion in a nearby warehouse. They help them return to their ship, and the GFSS-3214F departs for Levarance's medical research facility.
However, Terry and her friends are captured and taken to Levarance to be used as a bargaining chip against the party. After landing, an attack by the thornites causes chaos and the trio escapes. They run into Eve, the captain and Verda Kleiman, and help them liberate the works zone from thornites. They also help guard the place from monsters and Eldram's Purge troops when he decides to take control of the lab. However, Terry leaves her friends in order to escort an injured Verda to the confrontation between Evelysse, the captain and Eldram. During the encounter, Eldram dies protecting Verda from a mysterious monster.
In the aftermath, the vaccine is finally created. A provisional government is installed and decides to end Operation: Frost, whereas the GFSS-3214F departs. In the following days, Terry and Val travel to Viret and try to deactivate its pulse tower. However, they are trapped due to its defense mechanism involving toxic gas. The two discover the 'safety zones' and survive long enough for Evelysse, Verda and the captain (who arrive due to Kurt's call for help) to find them. They fortunately find Kurt, who has gone on his own to deactivate the tower, and save him. After receiving medical help, the GFSS-3214F crew once again leaves, while Terry, Kurt and remain behind, working to build a new Levarance "where everyone's happy".
