Petra
Petra
Petra was born on a cold winter night on the Astrean colony creatively named Colony 7. She never knew who her parents were, only that they never wanted her to begin with. They left her with the last remaining descendant of the Reiner family who carries that name, Christina Reiner III. Petra doesn't want to know the people who left her on Seven with nothing to her name but their genes. She never knew them nor their last name. Only the name they gave her, Petra, which derives from the ancient Tesk word for strength.
Now, she is a bounty hunter, at age 21, a young age to be in that line of work, but far from unheard of. She owns the ship Veltik Peregrine 72 "Perry" and has made the acquaintance of Daren Briggs, a fellow bounty hunter when she appears in The Dead Never Die. I plan to do a lot more with her later, but this story is her debut.
Physical Description
Body Features
Petra stands tall among most other women, and generally tall among the general population. She has dark brown hair that comes down in a messy cut around her neck, and her eyes are the color of aged honey. She is thin, but well built, has small breasts, and a long stride, like she always wants to be somewhere. Her gaze looks unhappy with life, yet present, quickly glancing and analyzing.

Education
An informal education courtesy of Christina Reiner's granddaughter, Christina Reiner III, who was a premiere physicist in her time, advancing the work on the Chreneb drive as her legacy did. She never had children, and is the last surviving direct descendant of Christina and Deneb. She raised Petra after her parents left her, and taught her everything from calculus to how to wash dishes. Petra displayed an extreme curiosity for knowledge and spent many winter days on Colony 7 learning far above what her age was normally taught in schools.
Employment
Starting at 14, Petra began to work at The Junkyard, which is what locals call the mechanics shop. She worked there for three years until Rita's death, where she quit to work on the Peregrine, she still stopped by for spare parts, however. She is currently employed as a bounty hunter under contracts for all Teran governments and Cephid.
