Petra appears to be a woman roughly in her late 20's. She has sharp, severe, angular features that border on inhuman and seem to cross the line of what is plausible in reality when viewed in good lighting. She is not prone to smiling. Standing about five and a half feet tall and thin, even by modern standards, she doesn't seem particularly imposing. It is an illusion that lasts only while she remains still for, once she deigns to move or fix someone with her unforgiving eyes, there can be no question that she is possessed of remarkable confidence. Those who have upset her in the past and survived have spoken of her glare as being cold, alien, calculating. One man said 'it was like she was dissecting me with her eyes, before she started doing it with her hands.'
