Personality
Distrustful of humans as much the majority of beasts, Tetra at first comes off as snobbish and spoiled. She treated Sariphi condescendingly but was surprised by how Sariphi sincerely enjoyed their "playtime" (even though Tetra was being childishly cruel). However, this bratty behavior was a facade to conceal a troubled young girl who was in pain.

Tetra was very close to her mother, offering her love and comfort when the queen had failed to birth a male heir. But when Tetra's baby brother, Calcara, was born, Calra became obsessed with her son and neglected Tetra, leaving her to feel hurt and unloved by her parents, mostly her mother. Tetra came to believe that no one would care if she died and felt resentment at her parents as well as her status as royalty. Since her elder sisters had all been married off to strangers, Tetra resented the idea of her life being decided without her consent, and believed the only control she would claim over her own life was her choice to end it.

When Sariphi assured Tetra that her life is her own, no matter what anyone says, Tetra began to feel hope that Sariphi was right, and when she nearly fell to her death, only to be saved by Sariphi (and Gwiber) she broke down into tears when she realized that she is loved, and made up with her parents after they realized their mistakes with her.

Strangely, despite having reason to, Tetra never seemed to resent her baby brother, Calcara, apart from some light envy. But when Calcara's first words were 'big sister' Tetra was delighted.

Having made a true friend in Sariphi, Tetra requested for her to visit and play with her again, though Tetra retains her teasing snark but in a friendly matter instead of a bullying one.

Early Life
Tetra was born as the fourth daughter to the king and queen of Sarbul. In time, she would witness her three elder sisters being married off into foreign royalty and began to wonder just how much control she had over her own life.

Tetra is seen comforting her mother, Calra, who was crying.

Plot
After Sariphi jumps after Tetra, after she accidently stumbled and fell over, Leonhart summons Gwiber to take them safely down, Sariphi then says the blessing to her and says that, she is happy that, she was born or else she wouldn't have met, such a kind girl, which she starts to tear up and hugs her.

Trivia

 * In author's notes, in the human years, Tetra is about 8 years old.
 * Yū Tomofuji planned to have different animal here, but it came to the concept of a spoiled princess, somehow the image of a cat that, was part and Parcel of that, so a cat princess it. Vivian from Volume 1 was meant to be a Persian, but Tetra is based on a Caracal, so at least there's some difference.
 * Tetra has the same name, with Tetra from The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
