Petra is the deuteragonist of Minecraft: Story Mode developed by Telltale Games, She is a fighter who has been known as very determined and tough. She often exchanged certain items for treasures before becoming a member of the New Order of the stone. Before she was a member of Jesse's Gang, she was a mercenary living in caves that was known as mysterious and cool yet inapproachable due to her toughness. Petra made her first appearance in "The Order of the Stone". She is voiced by Ashley Johnson
Overview[]
Appearance[]
Petra is a young lady, she has fair skin ginger hair, a patterned turquoise bandana tied around her head, She has pitch-black eyes and purple eyeshadow applied on her eyelids, She wears a black vest over a dark blue short-sleeved shirt, black shorts, and black shoes for footwear. She also has a long black sleeve on her left arm, and a fingerless glove on her right hand. It is also noteworthy that Petra is the only female to not wear lipstick. She's also noticeably slightly taller than most of her friends with exception of Axel.
After, or during the fight with the Wither Storm, Petra obtains her armor which is made of blue steel and gold linings with a diamond placed in the chest plate, solidifying her newfound happiness with noticeably less blacks in her design and more rich-looking features for her armor.
Season Two[]
Petra's mouth has noticeably lowered, and she has lost most of her armor, revealing her to mostly be wearing her original outfit that she wore before obtaining her armor. Petra most likely damaged her armor during her travels as she is only wearing parts of it, these parts being the right shoulder-pad and tasset, and her chest plate is missing most of its previous contents such as the diamond. This may be due to her neglect from her friends straining her entire identity, to a point where she can't choose between her two original designs therefore who she wants to be.
"Champion" (determinant)[]
If Petra becomes Romeo's "champion" her remaining armor and clothing, including her bandana, are changed to black with glowing red lights (representing the colors of Romeo's armor, and her view of herself as a legitimate enemy and the next Admin). However, after betraying Romeo and losing the gauntlet, the red lights on her armor become dimmed, indicating that her "champion" status is being revoked.
If Petra doesn't become Romeo's champion, her guest outfit consists of a black tank top, orange jacket, and pants, but her bandana remains its standard color.
Firework Union[]
Her firework union outfit consists of red overalls, black boots, a brown hard hat, and a white shirt, though she rolls her shirt sleeves up when wearing it.
By the end of the series, Petra ends up reverting back to her original outfit, accepting herself and not the glorified hero she wished to be seen as before.
Personality[]
- "No matter what happens, no matter how much I do, YOU'RE the big hero. You probably don't even remember what it's like adventuring out there - scrounging for resources. Just look at today! We were supposed to go on one adventure, and you were late. I can't even get my "friends" to spend time with me."
- —Petra complaining to Jesse about the feeling of abandonment. src
Petra is a warrior-like character, having made a reputation out of being a capable fighter and being able to gather expensive materials for others for the right price. She's fiercely loyal to her allies, even if it can be dangerous for her and to those she is trying to protect. She can be stubborn, aggressive, and overreactive, but she cares for her friends immensely. She loves challenging herself and has a competitive nature when it comes to contests against her friends. This is especially prominent in Season 2, where she will often make jabs at Jesse's expense for not adventuring as much as Petra does, and later calling them out on "calling all the shots" regardless of whether Jesse has often done so or not.
Petra craves for adventure at all times, but she becomes resentful after her old friendships start to fade. In "Hero in Residence", she emphasized to Jesse several times how none of her friends were adventuring with her anymore. Petra begins seeking adventures elsewhere if not with her friends from Jesse's Gang, such as becoming Stella's champion and the expedition with Jack and Vos. She tells Jesse that she feels "adventuring out there" is her true purpose, not staying put in Beacontown.
Petra has a hard time letting go of the past, or old friends/memories. She is extremely attached to her golden sword, nicknamed "Miss Butter", because of the nostalgia it provides. She also becomes irrationally angry at her friends for having lives outside of her, feeling abandoned.

Relationships[]
Jesse[]
- "You mean a lot to me Jesse, I-- More than anyone else, you've been there... and I don't want to leave if that means... you're my best friend Jesse."
- —Petra to Jesse in the cabin. src
Jesse is Petra's best friend. Though it's unknown how they met, they have known each other for a very long time. At first, Petra appears to find Jesse annoying as just a nerd, but later on, when she saves Jesse in the woods, they praise her and claim that she has the best life, where Petra becomes fascinated by a praise she most likely never got before, and they become allies, having each other's back. Later, she becomes a member of Jesse's gang and helps them fight the Wither Storm. Petra also often confides in her secrets to Jesse, indicating that she puts a lot of trust in them. If she becomes Romeo's "champion" in "Jailhouse Block", she is reluctant to kill Jesse, despite Romeo commanding her to do so. Even if she felt she was meant to be always adventuring, not staying put in Beacontown, she does not want Jesse to leave her as said in "Below the Bedrock". Petra also mentions how Jesse means a lot to her and will always be her best friend.
Ivor[]
- "Hey, how about you take a massive chill pill and we find it first."
- —Petra to Ivor. src
Petra and Ivor do not share a good relationship at first. As of Episode 5, Petra is the only person who still holds a grudge against Ivor. Sometimes she scolds him when he gets too excited or being angry. Throughout the episode, Petra is constantly annoyed at him and refuses to help him when he is about to get arrested. In Episode 6, however, it is revealed that she does care about him as shown when she refuses to let The White Pumpkin do anything bad to him, as she would still be his friend. When Ivor stands up for Lukas when Cassie Rose wanted to lock him in the closet, Petra is quite surprised.
Axel[]
- "For the right price, I'll help anyone."
- —Petra to Axel about helping The Ocelots. src
Axel is often seen to be concerned about Petra, and Petra in return appreciates his efforts. They seem to be very close, and Petra often calls Axel the "Big Guy" of the group. If Jesse tells Axel about her Wither Sickness, Axel will attempt to give Petra a hug, but Petra rejects it. In Episode 4, if she has amnesia and Jesse decides to tell Petra about Axel, Jesse will say Axel is practically obsessed with her.
Olivia[]
- "Oh, Petra! I'm so happy for you!"
- —Olivia happy to see Petra recovered from Wither Sickness or Amnesia. (Determinant) src
Olivia and Petra are not seen interacting a lot. However, it has been hinted that they are also very close in being a part of Jesse's Gang. Olivia is very happy for Petra when she recovers from either wither sickness or amnesia.
Reuben[]
- "He was a great pig."
- —Petra comforting Jesse. src
Like with Olivia, Petra is not seen interacting with Reuben a lot, however Petra likes Reuben and sees him as a helpful pig. While Petra is suffering from "Wither Amnesia", she appears to be disgusted by the mere presence of Reuben and denies his concern (because she doesn't know Reuben), which saddens him. If Petra has the "Wither Sickness", she will mention that she doesn't feel like company, which also saddens him. Whatsoever, she is emotionally dragged by his death and mourns alongside Jesse.
Lukas[]
- "We missed you, too!"
- —Petra to Lukas in the Order Hall src
Petra and Lukas are very good friends even before she joined Jesse's gang. When they both join Jesse's Gang, they often worry about each other when they see that something is wrong. To add on, as seen in Episode 6, they also make friendly little bets with each other on occasion.
Gabriel the Warrior[]
- "Did you say... Gabriel?"
- —Petra surprised to see that Jesse had found Gabriel. (Determinant) src
Petra and Gabriel seem very similar, as they are both warriors and will always be ready for a fight. They might not be as close, but they have shown sympathy for each other once in a while. Petra also took Gabriel's place as a warrior in the New Order of the Stone.
Jack[]
- "He's kinda like a personal hero of mine."
- —Petra to Jesse about Jack. src
Petra is a big fan of Jack, and they seem to be really good friends too. They both share their interest in adventuring and both of them are great fighters. Petra cares about Jack, as shown when Jesse tells her that he fell off the cliff (determinant) and Petra is distressed. In "Jailhouse Block", she also hugs Jack after seeing him being unharmed (determinant).
Death (Respawn, Determinant)[]
Killed by[]
If Ivor is saved, Petra along with Lukas will be suffocated in a wall earlier during their first Spleef game, but both will respawn afterward. If Petra is saved, eventually in the games, she will have her sword knocked out of her hand by Slab while trying to cover Jesse so they can win the race, then stabbed to death by Clutch with a diamond axe. She will respawn afterwards.

Trivia[]
- Ashley Johnson, Petra's voice actor, voiced Gortys in Telltale Games' Tales From the Borderlands and Ellie in The Last of Us - Part 1 and Part 2. She is also known as the voice of Gwen Tennyson from the Ben 10 series (from Alien Force to the present), Gretchen Grundler from Recess, Terra from Teen Titans, and Tulip Olsen and Lake (MT) from Infinity Train
- Yuri Lowenthal, Radar's voice actor, also voiced in the Ben 10 series alongside Ashley Johnson, as Ben Tennyson.
- Petra and Lake have some similarities, like going through worlds (the Portal Hallway for Petra, and the Train for Lake) trying to find a way out, and also have friends named Jesse who accompany them. This was confirmed a coincidence by Eric Stirpe on Tumblr.[1]
- Petra’s name is derived from the Greek word πέτρα meaning stone, rock.
- Even if Petra doesn't go to the Far Lands because of her Wither Sickness, she still gets her armor in Episode 5.
- In Season 1, there are three times when there is an option to directly save someone. Petra is an option every time.
- If the player chooses to save her from the Wither Storm in "The Order of the Stone", Petra appears in every episode of Minecraft Story Mode.
- Petra is the warrior of The New Order of the Stone.
- Petra always has her right sleeve rolled up (except when she is wearing her armor from Season 1). The reason behind it is still unknown.
- In the Season 2 pre-release art, Petra is shown wearing a gauntlet on her left hand, however in game, she is not wearing it. However though, if Petra becomes Romeo's champion, she has a gauntlet on her left hand, but then in "Above and Beyond" the gauntlet is missing. This is because Romeo takes it back to impersonate Jesse, who was wearing it previously.
- Petra's sword, Miss Butter, is named ironically (mentioned by Petra in "Hero in Residence"). According to Stirpe, Petra enjoys the humiliation of beating her enemies with a gold sword (since they're considered bad swords with their low durability.) [2][3]
- Her armor in Season 2 is just a highly modified and slightly broken down version of her Season 1 armor, to reflect her trying to hang onto the past even when she should be moving on.[4]
