In actuality, it might be better to describe her as not caring about other people’s opinion of her and unconcerned with actions that don’t have a tangible effect on others. Though she might seem impulsive at a glance, when it comes to anything of consequence, she’s quite the opposite, becoming calculated and analytical as the situation calls for it. Petra is also the sort to form very strong opinions about certain things and though her opinions can be changed by others she can at times act quite hostile towards those who fail to do so. Most notable of these opinions is her borderline heretical opinion of god, whom she blames for not doing more. [b]Brief Biography:[/b] Petra’s village was attacked by demons when she was quite young and though both she and her father managed to avoid the attack, many of the other villagers, including Petra’s mother were not so fortunate. At the time the incident left a lasting impression on the young girl’s mind with her dreams haunted by imagined scenes of what might have happened in the village that day. Worse still was that the attack only marked the beginning of a string of bad luck for her and her father. With so many villagers killed in the attack, the village was left lacking many vital functions and soon had to be abandoned, forcing the two remaining Nisbet’s to move to a larger city. Unfortunately, it seemed they were not the only ones to arrive under these circumstances and with a skillset not well suited to the big city and no shortage of candidates to with the same skillset it was hard for Petra’s father to make a living. Years passed with the family’s financial state steadily falling until the day came that with little other choice remaining, Petra’s father left to participate in the 4th crusade, telling Petra that he’d slay all the demons so she’d never need to be afraid again. As much as she wanted to believe her father’s words at the time, she knew he was not a fighter and though he lasted a good while Petra couldn’t say she was surprised when the day came that instead of a letter and money sent back from the front lines it was a body. What meagre funds she had after that didn’t last long and Petra was soon forced to the streets, doing whatever it took to survive. It was difficult at first, but over time she picked up the skills she needed to survive on her own, learning to steal what she needed or otherwise the coin required. Not that it ever became easy, Petra lacked both the bravery to steal from those who had plenty and the cruelty to steal more than she needed from those who did not, but at the end of the day, it was survival. Upon hearing of the expedition into the abyss Petra saw an opportunity to remove herself from her situation and one that would allow her to continue where her father had left off. Despite knowing that the odds were stacked against her survival should she join, Petra decided to anyway, not seeing what she had to lose.

Largely comprised of several layers of cloth stitched together as a means of rudimentary protection, it offers very little by way of defence but also does not hinder Petra’s movement. A number of pockets stitched to it, including a few surprisingly well-concealed ones, though nothing that would stand up to more than simple observation. [b]Coffin Nail:[/b] [Skill: +2; Power: +2] A large coffin nail with a handle of waxed cloth. Being relatively short for a melee weapon and not having a sharpened edge this weapon is ineffective in cases where getting too close or stabbing would prove difficult.
