Tera Wray was born Tera Lents on April 14, 1982 in Louisville, Kentucky. Wray first developed in interest in porn while she was in the fourth grade. At age seventeen Wray was diagnosed with ovarian cancer, which fortunately was removed by lasers and without chemotherapy. Her first job was as an umpire for a youth softball league. Tera worked as a corporate trainer for the Hooters restaurant chain prior to applying to become an erotic actress for the company Pleasure Productions through contacts she made at her local adult store in Louisville. Wray signed up with Pleasure Productions as their first contract girl in two years in the summer of 2006; she did her first boy/girl scene on film with Lee Stone and her first girl/girl scene with Nicki Hunter. Tera frequently appeared in explicit features done in the alt porn genre and was one of the first performers to do a hardcore scene while her partner received a tattoo in the X-rated outing Tattooed & Tight (2007).
A devout aficionado of heavy metal music, Wray served as the hostess for Matt Zane's adult-oriented music series Radium (2007), in which Wray not only interviewed rock musicians and attended concerts, but also performed in sex scenes. Tera went on to join and travel with Ozzy Osbourne's Ozzfest Summer Tour in 2007 as a Hustler Lingerie model. During her time with Ozzfest Wray met and began dating Wayne Static, who was the lead singer of the metal band Static-X. Tera and Wayne got married in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 10, 2008. Wray announced her retirement from the adult entertainment industry in August, 2008. Alas, Static died at age 48 on November 1, 2014. Tera sank into a deep depression in the wake of her husband's untimely death. Her body was found dead in her California apartment on January 14, 2016. The cause of death was ruled an apparent suicide. Wray was only thirty-three years old.
