Square Co., Ltd.'s console role-playing game Final Fantasy VI features fourteen permanent player characters, the largest number of any game in the main Final Fantasy series, as well as a number of characters who are only briefly controlled by the player. Final Fantasy VI was the first game of the series to feature character designers other than Yoshitaka Amano. While Amano drew most of the character artworks, monster designer and graphic director Tetsuya Nomura created the original designs of Shadow and Setzer Gabbiani, and field graphic designer Kaori Tanaka created the original designs of Edgar Roni and Sabin Rene Figaro.

Terra Branford is the first character introduced in the game. She is initially a tool of the Empire, controlled with a slave crown. The crown eventually breaks, which leaves her with amnesia.

She is taken by Locke to the Returners, and she eventually joins them. After traveling with the Returners, she eventually learns that she is the daughter of a Esper father and human mother, which explains her natural magic abilities and her transformation into an Esper form. She was taken in by Gestahl, who saw heritage as a potent weapon, and after extensive training and manipulation, she was able to destroy fifty Magitek soldiers in a single exercise.

During the World of Ruin, Terra takes care of orphaned children, defending them from monsters, such as Phunbaba. After the monster's defeat, she joins with her comrades again to make the world safe for the children. Although she is expected to fade along with the rest of the Espers when magic disappears from the world, she is told by the Magicite remains of her father Maduin that she can choose to leave her Esper side behind, and she does.
