"Since the mid 1990s Terrifica has donned her trademark golden mask, Valkyrie bra, blond wig, red boots and cape to "protect the single girl living in the big city". Her costume acts as a distraction to the men she tries to dissuade from seducing drunk young women. Along with her costume, she carries a utility belt containing a cell phone, lipstick, a camera to photograph alleged predators, a journal, Terrifica fortune cards and Smarties for energy. "
