Petra Redwood/Behind the Scenes

During production of the comic, a lot goes on behind the scenes in regards to planning and design, which often go through multiple stages before resulting in the final version that is published in pages. Some concepts and ideas can have an effect on the show and characters, and unexpected occurrences during production can also lead to changes and additions to the plans for the comic.
== Character Basis ==
Petra Redwood alludes to the Stone Forest of Shilin, particularly the folkloric figure Ashima from the legend surrounding the forest. This allusion has had the following influences on the character and comic:
* Petra is a name of Greek origin meaning "Stone", while Redwood is a species of tree, meaning Petra's name effectively means 'stone forest'.
* Her semblance allows her to control existing stone to some degree and create protrusions similar to that of Shilin's stalagmites.
* Ashima was a beautiful girl of the Yi people. Petra is considered very beautiful by many characters.
== Emblem ==
Petra's symbol is a reddish-grey tree in a circular shape, referencing the Stone Forest of Shilin.
== Production ==
* Robin's aura was originally red in Arc 1, but was changed to green in Arc 2 to be more aesthetically pleasing.
