Her confusion with the concept of love and other human emotions is what made her interesting. I love her and the emphasis on her complete and utter lack of understanding of herself. She had been human for 18 years of her life, but still couldn't quite understand how to be a human, and then the added asset of her Esper blood didn't help to quench the thirst for enlightenment. She had unexplained powers, she couldn't feel the way other people felt, and she was controlled and used as a weapon of destruction for her entire life. The she loses the will to fight, because she needed to care for the orphan children. When their lives are in danger, she realizes she needs to protect them, even if that means fighting. These reasons justify my admiration of Terra's character.
These are my reasons. Also, Terra's nothing like any of the current main characters for the most part. She is left to wander aimlessly in this world and make her own decisions and isn't quite in tune with saving the world for good reasons except she was dragged along. It wasn't until she found her reasons to fight that she became more "righteous." Cloud is similar, but I can't relate to his thinking process, it's all confuzzled and schizophrenic. Squall is a loner, much like me, but he always locks himself inside. I can't relate to that. It doesn't make sense to me. Tidus does complain a lot and focuses WAY too much on his father, which is annoying to say the least. He doesn't even fight for an ideal, not really. He really fights for his new girlfriend. Fine, I get it, but that just doesn't seem like a "manly" thing to do in my eyes, more selfish.
