the appearance

Face Claim || Alexz Johnson
Height & Weight || 5'5" 105lbs
Identifying Features || N/A
Overall || Her physical appearance could be described as petite, but good things come in small packages right? Her hair is naturally red and wavy, however she dyes it blonde as she was tired of being in a family with red headed woman and wanted to stand out a bit. As far as her clothes go they are anything but exciting and don't typically stand out to much. Her style isn't girly nor is tom boyish, its somewhere in between. Occasionally she does like to dress up a little fancier when the occasion calls for it. She is more of a jeans and tennis shoes kind of girl vs dresses and high heels. Color wise she likes to wear things that are pretty mute in color or darker, though she loves wearing red. Petra has been told that she has puppy dog eyes and the beautiful blue color tends to draw people in. Petra has a very expressive face that either welcomes your or makes you feel like she is staring into your soul. Normally her face is very soft, cute, friendly and welcoming but she also has a great resting bitch face when ticked off or annoyed.

Overall || You either learn to love Petra or you probably hate her, either way chances are if you have any opinion of her you have to put up with her in some way. She isn't particularly hard to get along with but she can be a bit hard on the outside and doesn't let people in too easily. Covering up her real feelings with sarcasm, blunt comments and can come off as stuck up. If you manage to get past the wall she has built she is exactly the same but just more open with her feelings once she starts to trust you. Petra has a good heart and wants to make relationships with people but she is just protective of herself. The quickest way to earn Petra's respect is intelligence and hard work. Nothing annoys her more than ditsy people or laziness. She enjoys a good Nap and sitting around playing video games (she has a secret geek side) but she doesn't let it dominate her life and she always works hard before having fun. Petra has never had a stable relationship but has dated off and on in the past. She longs for true love but doesn't really want to accept it because that means letting some one get way too close to her. 

the history

Father ||  Maxwell Cane, 45 years (biological father/deceased) and Joe Novak 48 years (step father)
Mother || Tori Novak, 47 years
Siblings || Coralee Novak, 20 years
Home State || Oregon
History || When Tori had found out she was pregnant with Maxwells child the two had already split up and parted ways. She tracked him down to tell him and the man took it better than any one expected. Of course the two were never meant to be but they remained friends for Petra's sake. Growing up she would spend the weeks with her mother and a weekends with her father it had been a bit exhausting. Soon after Petra was born her mother had already met a new man named Joe and two years later the couple had a child of their own another girl named Coralee. Petra and Cora got along well enough but were never super close, their personalities were so much a like that they just clashed a lot. If her sister was ever in trouble though Petra wouldn't hesitate to help out. At the age of 8 Petra's dad passed away due to a heart attack. At 10 years old Joe officially adopted Petra as his own and her last name changed from Cane to Novak.

At the age of 13, Petra caught her mother cheating on joe...not once but multiple times. This caused a huge rift between them that never got repaired. It is also the start of Petra having a hard time believing and being able to accept love herself. She had always thought that her Mom and step father were a perfect example of love and yet that was just a huge lie. Plus keeping her mothers secret ate her up on the inside.

As she got into highschool she distanced herself from her family, lots of silence and awkward family dinners. Petra worked hard in high school studying a lot so she could get good grades to get into a good college and get the hell away from her family. The hard work and dedication did eventually pay off when she was accepted to Copper Harbor expecting to major in Biology. Science, especially biology was always her strong suit in school and it was something she quite enjoyed learning about. Mostly because it could be applied to every day life. Her first two years at college were pretty relaxing, she worked hard, made a few friends that managed to put up with her and overall did enjoy the whole college experience. However, when she found out that Cora would be joining her at Copper Harbor she was a bit annoyed. The two girls had barely talked since Petra left home and she had no interest in having her little sister around her. Not really having a choice in the matter though she learned to accept the fact that she would be here.

She is now working her way to become a biology teacher. Kind of strange career goals for a girl who can be a bit cold and shut off from the world but she does actually work well with children and teenagers, at least those that take learning seriously. If teaching doesn't work out though she would be happy working in research.
