Petra has been a member of the local freehold for a few years now. She didn't emerge from the Hedge in Philadelphia but she has slowly carved out a niche for herself and doesn't talk about where she came from. Petra works as a paramedic in the city, and she's always thrilled to help freeholders navigate the hospitals or tend to their wounds herself with both mundane and mystical means. She's shy and sometimes hesitant to reach out to others, but she doesn't intimidate easily. When invited to participate in a given activity she is an enthusiastic participant and always willing to try something new. She isn't (usually) a stereotypical Spring hedonist with public displays of excess, but she revels in the joys of self-healing, growing, and becoming a ''real,'' whole person again.

Henrietta is her proper name, but she goes by Hetty, Etta, Rhetta, or any other of half a dozen nicknames depending on how people met her. She grew up on Philadelphia as a kid until she was ten when her father died and her mother made her move rather abruptly. As a kid, she was homeschooled and mostly self-motivated. While she had access to a curriculum materials and her mom did her best, Henrietta was always precociously smart and it didn't take long to outstrip her mother's basic education level.

She didn't stop moving until escaped her paranoid mother's control and ran off to Cornell for college. Staying in one place and having a single set of friends that she didn't promptly abandon was a new and exciting experience, and she did exceptionally well in school. After graduation she came back to Philadelphia and got a job with the city as a network architect.
