When they are too tired to walk home after Grandpa Longneck's storytelling, she agrees to carry them home, and endures having the horns in her frill playfully tugged at. Later, when returning them home after their venture to Saurus Rock , she gently lifts them out of the trunk they had hidden in from the pursuing Allosaurus , and smiles as she places them down again so they may cross it like a bridge, over the canyon.
She also comforts them when they are upset about the tooth which fell off of the neck of the rock formation, although she returns to her no-nonsense authority when they say she told them to get lost the day before, after she blames Littlefoot for the events that day. Another instance of her caring demeanor is in The Land Before Time XI: Invasion of the Tinysauruses , when she softly tells Tria that she believes the reason Topps was so mean to the Tinysauruses was because he felt that they had effectively hurt Tria when they ate the tree sweets off of the tree, as she could no longer have the first one of the year.
Cera is also shown to be very polite and ladylike when relaxed, in " The Mysterious Tooth Crisis ". When Littlefoot and Ducky run to Tria's secret mud pool in search of Ruby, they meet up with Cera while she is mudbathing. They at first mistake her for somebody else, until she lifts up a lily pad she was wearing as a hat, and are surprised to see that she is in a calm, gentle state.
Cera tries her best to show no fear, and often professes that she can defend the others, as in Template:Film , when the children see the tracks of a predatory creature heading away from their direction, and she states that she'll fight it if it comes back. In the TV episode " The Spooky Nighttime Adventure ", she denies being able to have sleep stories dreams in order to hide the fact that she has been having nightmares about the " Hidden Runner ".
She has no problem bragging about her accomplishments in dangerous situations, even going so far as to fabricate entire portions of the story to improve her image. However, in the TV episode " The Amazing Threehorn Girl ", she tries at first to be modest and truthful when everyone in the Great Valley believes that she gallantly dealt with the belly draggers who had been pursuing the children, and frightened them away. She only begins to act more like her normal self after the citizens pressure her to tell them the story of how she did it, many times over.
Despite her usual self-proclaims, Cera typically runs away at the first sign of any real danger; an early instance of this being in the first The Land Before Time , when she encounters the Sharptooth in the big underground, and out of spite, headbutts him in and around the eye several times, but screams and runs away when this awakens him.
Cera has a fear of heights, as shown in The Land Before Time V: The Mysterious Island when she feels nervous about walking across the log Chomper showed them, and in Template:Film , when she is reluctant to hop on the pillars which originally stood in the canyon. She also has a fear of lightning, shown in the original film, when a thunderstorm breaks out shortly after her hatching, and she hides under her mother for protection; also, in Template:Film , she refuses to follow her friends into a cave until lightning flashes in the sky, and she runs screaming into the cave in terror.
It is also revealed in this film that she is violently prone to sea-sickness. Cera is shown to be very skeptical on many occasions. In Template:Film , she mentions in the song " Beyond the Mysterious Beyond " that she only trusts what she can see with her eyes, and she continually expresses doubt that the "Stone of Cold Fire" really has any magical powers.
In Template:Film , she assumes Littlefoot imagined Mo when Mo dives under water before she and the others see him. In the TV episode " The Meadow of Jumping Waters ", she expresses disbelief in the existence of "water that jumps" erupting geysers , until she finally sees the meadow. She also refuses, like the others, to believe that the red tickly treestars Spike ate have brought them bad luck.
Also, in the episode " Through the Eyes of a Spiketail ", she quickly doubts the existence of the hardwater sweets frozen grapes , despite Littlefoot's reminders that Mr.
Thicknose had said they are difficult to find. Interestingly, it appears in this episode that Cera and her father believe that the sky is round and the earth is flat, similarly to the accepted theories of the Middle Ages. Cera has siblings from several litters, the younger of which can be seen briefly in Template:Film. Her nestmates are apparently all sisters, as she states at one point in the first movie.
Whether she has any brothers or not is unknown. Cera's father, Topps , is seen in every film in the Land Before Time film series, except Template:Film , but her real mother is only seen in background shots of the original Land Before Time. She may have died, broken up with Topps, been lost, or followed Pterano away from the herds taking Cera's siblings with her. Cera initially doesn't get along with Tria, although Tria tries to show her love and care, because she does not like sharing her father's attention.
At one point, however, Tria finally confronts her on the matter; offering to become "Someone who will help your father worry about you", to Cera which by coincidence, Cera had told Lizzie, a Tinysaurus girl, that she wanted, the night before. Cera accepts the offer after some thought, and by the end of the film, she and Tria begin to bond very well.
Cera seems to be closest friends with Littlefoot, although their friendship was off to a bad start. Cera is especially unkind to Littlefoot in the first film, partly because her family had raised her to be prejudiced towards those of other species, and partly because he had assumed leadership of the baby dinosaurs, and she was not used to following anyone other than her parents. She may also have disliked the fact that he was the least manipulated by whatever she said.
When they all climb over a hill and find nothing but more deserted land beneath them, she grows unfaithful of Littlefoot's intuition, and when he protests that they are going in the direction his deceased mother had said to go in, she says she was stupid, and the two begin to fight. Despite this, at the end of the film, she returns to the gang, and made amends with them, after which Littlefoot finds the Great Valley with his mother's spiritual guidance.
In later films, she and Littlefoot still argue frequently, and occasionally get into physical fights again, but remain friends, and make up for it later.
In Template:Film she states that Littlefoot is her friend and will always be her friend. As Cera is very straightforward in her beliefs, she often gets irritated by Littlefoot's openmindedness, and in turn, Littlefoot is frustrated by the inability to persuade Cera. An example is in Template:Film , when Cera, along with most of the residents of the Great Valley, openly expresses skepticism towards Littlefoot's sighting of the "Stone of Cold Fire", and Littlefoot yearns for a way to convince them.
In Template:Film , when Littlefoot tries to introduce the others to Mo , but he has dived underwater in that time, Cera mocks Littlefoot; stating that he likely invented the creature.
Another instance is in the TV episode " Through the Eyes of a Spiketail "; as the gang searches for the hardwater sweets frozen grapes , Cera begins to doubt if such a thing exists, while Littlefoot remains confident that they are indeed real. This again leads them to argue multiple times, to the disappointment of the others. When Ducky asks her how to ventilate her anger, she willingly shows her what a Threehorn would do. Cera's entire opinion of Spike is unclear, but she does get irritated by his eating habits, and the problems they often cause, as in The Land Before Time VII: The Stone of Cold Fire , when the gang are crossing the vines along the canyon above a fast river, and Spike eats a flower he finds along the way.
As he bites it, a chunk of the vine comes off, and the vine splits, sending them swinging into a cave in the side of the rocks below. She then angrily tells him not to do such a thing again. Cera notes with disdain upon Spike's eating when singing in the song " Family " from The Land Before Time VIII: The Big Freeze , and in the television episode " The Canyon of Shiny Stones ", when Cera wants to make up for losing Tria 's shiny stone, and Petrie suggests bringing her tonnes of treesweets, she remarks that Spike will eat them all before they get to her.
Spike nods, before realizing that it was a biting remark. Pleased that Genie was now safe in his card, Zahrah kissed each of the D-Team goodbye shocking Aladdin as they left to save their parents.

It was a tough life being a Littlefoot in reality. Apart from the banter and hijinks of Littlefoot's rag-tag group of friends, another ever-present characteristic of "The Land Before Time" is the land itself.
Complete with dramatic, literally ground parting, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and softly falling ash, the landscape of what is likely North America has a striking similarity to that of an environmental apocalypse. The famine that resulted from these fictional conditions is what drives Littlefoot and his friends toward the Great Valley.
But Thomas Cullen, a paleontologist and postdoctoral research scientist at the Field Museum of Natural History, told Insider by email that there doesn't appear to be any record of an environmental disaster like this taking place during the movie's probable time frame. Hutchinson also says that the tar pit the protagonists become stuck in later in the film would have been "basically non-existent" in the landscape as well, coming into existence much later instead.
Despite the scientific missteps in the film, there are also a few key aspects that it got right, Hutchinson told Insider. Particularly when it comes to our modern image of dinosaurs. An important accuracy of the film, and one that was contemporary to palaeontological research in the s , was the depiction of dinosaurs as social animals and not simply violent lizards.
Hutchinson also says that the film, which came out before "Jurassic Park," was one of the first examples of dinosaurs being depicted not in the classical style of "Fantasia" , but instead with a more modern understanding, much of which still shapes our imagination of dinosaurs today.
Instead, the dinosaurs in the movie, broadly speaking, are intelligent and social and behaving in ways most movies hadn't shown them before. I think the public latched onto that and could empathize with dinosaurs more. And, despite its fumbles along the way, Cullen echoed Hutchinson and told Insider that the film was influential in his career as a paleontologist.
