Despite this, she appears to have a close relationship with Porrim. Latula is shown not to care that much about Porrim's problems with Beforan society. Cronus Ampora accuses her of staying in the relationship out of pity, but she is very protective of Mituna, to the point of making death threats when approached by Damara Megido in Openbound. Mituna is her matesprit, whom she has been dating for eons (even into the afterlife) remaining fully flushed. The same "attention grabbing" is noted on her inability to smell, which Karkat does not believe is much of a disability at all. Karkat has stated that he is quite sure that Latula's personality is only an act, forcing herself in this sort of "radical personality" to garner attention. The artist has stated that this was a mere oversight. From her talksprites, she is shown to have more blunt, human teeth rather than pointy troll fangs. She wears a teal/black one-piece body suit, matching her matesprit Mituna, who wears a yellow/black body suit. Though Latula is not blind like her dancestor, Terezi, she does wear similar red glasses, though hers are rectangular rather than pointy. This medication likely helps to soothe an emotional or stress problem of some sort, given how Latula mentions that she sometimes gets stressed if she does not keep up her rad persona and this stress is especially potent when she doesn't take her medication. She takes some form of medication, as she states in a hash tag during Act 6 Intermission 3. She gives wicked, borderline painful, highfives.
She has a sort of 90's skater personality. In Act 6 Intermission 3, when Meenah requests to be Latula, Latula responds by first making Meenah prove she's rad enough to be her by challenging her to grind some serious rail on a stairway that only Porrim could make appear. Latula loves to skateboard, as shown by her love of shredding totally rad moves on her board and spending much time in the afterlife perfecting her headstand trick. Even though Latula has 8een dating Mituna steadily for eons, it's hardly a secret to anyone that she and Kankri have had complicated unrequited feelings for even longer.
She was truly an inspiration, and proved 8eyond a shadow of a dou8t that any disa8ility can 8e overcome, and doesn't have to stop you from 8eing as rad as you can truly 8e. After the tragic accident which left her nasally impaired, her mighty dragon lusus, ancient and wise 8eyond our comprehension, 8egan to teach her "new ways to smell." To reinvent the sense, using other sense organs such as eyes and ears, awakening completely new experiences in her mind. 8ut for someone with a lifestyle as radical as hers, I'm sure you will agree that would have 8een a fate worse than death. It means she would have 8een selected 8y a mem8er of a higher caste for adoption, and coddled excessively. Culling of course means something quite different on 8eforus. 8oth of course have disa8ilities which, if discovered, would slate each for culling in their respective cultures. “ The Knight of Mind, to even the most casual o8server, is clearly the more "radical" instance of the two Pyropes. Upon entering the door which contains Karkat's locked away memories and dream bubble, a small "scene" ( Aranea Serket's exposition) gives more information about some of the pre-scratch "ancestors": The player must be Latula in order to release Karkat from Kankri Vantas's overzealous preachings. In Meenah Peixes's quest to recruit soldiers for her militia against L ord English, she stumbles upon a door with the Sufferer's signature symbol that only Karkat Vantas can open. It appears a tad off-putting to Porrim Maryam and she tells Latula to cool it on her act. This disability makes her slightly insecure, most likely due to the Beforan culling policy, so to compensate, she puts up the front that she is the “ r4dd3st g4m3 g1rl 3v4 ”. In an undisclosed incident, she lost her sense of smell, mirroring Terezi's loss of sight. Like her Alternian descendant, Latula has a disability. This medicine could have also served as an inspiration for Latula's unspecified health problem that she takes medication for. Another potential origin for her name could be a type of anti-psychotic medicine called Latuda. Another speculation is that her name comes from the Romanian word "Latulă" which means "Noose" or "Snare" as a reference to her being the pre-scratch version of Neophyte Redglare. Her name could also come from a skateboard brand named Lush Tula, but this speculation is based around the fact that she enjoys skateboarding. It is derived from Tula, the Hindu sign for Libra. The name Latula was suggested for Terezi by Rauthiss.
