Petria Gray

Petria Grey is an orphan living in Esk, abandoned after her parents couldn't afford to feed her. She now generally does odd jobs around the town, many of which are provided by Professor Moretty. Petria has made it a point that she likes having a variety of choices and opportunities at hand before making a final decision, and so sleeps in a different location every night. Robyn is also teaching Petria how to fence, although she doesn't appear to take it very seriously.

While Petria is generally a very cheerful, happy-go-lucky character, she isn't afraid to tell people what she really thinks. She's open and honest, though she does take people's feelings into account when she's speaking (at least, most of the time).
