#and ironically when she was younger terra's were closer to xaaya's

Okay here's my favorite seemingly-inane-but-actually-really-good-for-getting-you-thinking-about-characterization OC question: What are their shoes like? On an average day, doing whatever a normal day entails for them.

Oh you're right that IS good.

Well the short and easy answer is that you can see that in the heroforge mockup—

But let's unpack that more!

Xaaya is, yeah, mostly combat boots. Practical. Utilitarian. Dykey. She has a few Nicer Pairs and she has That Beat Up Pair That She Wears All The Time. Probably also has some like, space loafers for when she has to go places that won't let her in the door wearing combat boots. She would probably start biting if someone (read: her mom) tried to make her wear anything else. Her section on this is shorter than Terra's because she's like what are you, a cop? Shoes are shoes.

Terra is, well, a goddamn lunatic.

That sentence is true in many ways but to be fair to her! She used to be very practical by necessity! When Xaaya met her she was wearing, like, converse, which she wore most of the time because while she was into heels between her salary and her foot size and her lack or shopping options she only had, like, a pair or two, and didn't really have many opportunities to wear them.

All that is to say that in her ongoing quest to become a pin-up girl in space and Xaaya's willingness to spoil her in this endeavor, she's taken full advantage of spending most of her time in low- or zero-gravity (and of, like, spacey clothing tech) to amass A Lot of very impractical shoes that make her Very Tall—the shiny silver over-the-knee boots are a favorite. but she likes to mix it up. She sometimes pouts that her ability to sprint in those things is less impressive in space where they can make them with handwavey automatic balance-compensating thingamajigs.

She also still has that pair of converse around here somewhere.
