When Master Xehanort, an old friend from Eraqus, disappears Terra is sent by Eraqus to search for him as Terra deals with a darkness growing in his self.

Terra's character was designed by the director series Tetsuya Nomura when preparing the secret endings of Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix. He was developed to be remminscent to the Xehanort featured in previous titles as well as having a connection with Riku, one of the series' main characters. Ryōtarō Okiayu has done the voice of Terra in Japanese and Jason Dohring in the English adaptation. Video game publications gave mix responses to Terra's character, initially finding him similar to the Final Fantasy VII character Zack Fair and later commenting on his role in Birth by Sleep.

Terra first made cameo appearances in the secret endings of Kingdom Hearts II and Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix which depicted events from Birth by Sleep. Additionally, the Lingering Sentiment, an armor containing Terra's thoughts, appears in Kingdom Hearts II: Final Mix as an optional boss in the world Keyblade Graveyard. The Lingering Sentiment fights the series' protagonist Sora upon sensing Xehanort's presence and acknowledging Sora as a Keyblade Master afterward.

In the prequel Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, Terra is a trainee from Master Eraqus alongside Aqua and Ventus, developing a strong sibling-like bond with both of them. One day, Terra participates with Aqua in an exam to become Keyblade Masters. Terra fails to pass the test as Eraqus detects darkness in his heart, which he does not approve of. Eraqus later informs Terra and Aqua about the appearance of creatures known as the Unversed and the disappearance of Master Xehanort. He orders both of them to eliminate the Unversed and find Master Xehanort. During his search for the missing Xehanort, he interacts with several Disney villains for information on his whereabouts which not only disturbs his friends, but also breaks his trust for Eraqus. When finding Xehanort, Terra is requested by Xehanort to kill Vanitas, a figure made from Ventus' darkness and source of all the Unversed. Xehanort later makes Terra return to the Land of Departure to stop Eraqus from killing Ventus. Unwilling to let Ventus die, Terra rescues him and confronts Eraqus. As the battle finishes, both Terra and Eraqus apologize to each other for their actions, but Eraqus is then vanquished by Xehanort. Realizing Xehanort's true nature, Terra goes to the Keyblade Graveyard where he reunites with Ventus and Aqua, and the former tells him and Aqua that Xehanort plans to use him and Vanitas to create the legendary χ-blade to help him in his plans. The three are then confronted by Xehanort and Vanitas and proceed to fight. When Ventus and Aqua are wounded in battle, Terra attacks Xehanort alone and unleashes the darkness in his heart, allowing Xehanort to take over his body. However, Terra's mind persists in his discarded armor, becoming the Lingering Sentiment, and continues to fight Xehanort, knocking him out. The Lingering Sentiment remains in the Keyblade Graveyard, while Terra's heart has an internal struggle with Xehanort's when he battles Aqua. This results in Xehanort stabbing himself to stop Terra, but Terra's presence remains within Xehanort, swearing to stop him. Although Terra's fate remains unknown, he appears in the game's last scenes alongside Ventus uttering Sora's name with renewed hope.
