## Personality

### **Total Drama Action**

Petra is seen on the show vivid and happy, smiling that she's there. Her ditzy personality resonates and she tends to take selfies and hang around groups of people so she does not feel lonely.

## Total Drama Action

### Monster Cash

Petra is seen on the show vivid and happy, smiling that she's there. Her ditzy personality catches on with others, initially growing a small bond with Stephanie. The only person that shows disliking to her initially is Momo, since the two dated before Momo and Petra's time on the show. She's seen attempting to get Momo to follow her but tripping in the process, ultimately getting caught by the monster.

She's also seen talking to Hawke about her bunny, Amalthea, being in his bat, Cosmo's, mouth, and questioning Ben about his injuries during his time with Austin.

### **Alien Resur-eggtion**

On the second day of the lot, Petra was happily eating food. She even gives Hawke's bat a stuffed animal, before the two agreeing to stick together for the challenge. Petra was more of an anchor of Hawke, causing him to leave her at the nest and eventually get slimed by Chef. She eventually voted for Hawke at the eliminations for leaving her behind and making her waste her perfume.

During team picking, Petra was one of the last picks. She was originally going to be on the Screaming Gaffers, but after resentment from her ex-girlfriend. In this interim, she grows closer with Ben--making friendship bracelets--and Stephanie--having a photoshoot, giving both of them nicknames. Petra also explains her true intentions to the two, but is left flabbergasted when the two believe her stories to be a complete joke or completely dismiss it at all. Petra also exposes a bit of her former lover's past to her team captain.

### **Riot on Set**

During the third day of the lot, Petra was woken up by Chris' alarm. She was tasked with pushing it up the hill by Christian, and they eventually made it up to the top. She then was tasked with costume design, giving Jamie a charcoal suit and fedora with a black tie. The team eventually lost to Petra's dismay.

At elimination ceremony, Petra was not voted, and was one of the first ones to recieved a Gilded Chris Award. She also giggled at Christian panicking, much to his dismay.

### **Beach Blanket Bogus**

On the fourth day of the lot, Petra was excited to ride a surfboard since she posed on a surfboard for her Instagram. However, because of the board shifting in multiple directions, she was launched off the surfboard with force, managing to land in Jamie's arms. During the sandcastle challenge, she was tasked with putting shells on the sandcastle to make the sandcastle look pretty.

### **3:10 to Crazytown**

On the fifth day of the lot, Petra was one of the last ones to climb the diving board. Having an idea, she paired up with Francis to conquer the diving board together. With full trust, she fell with him, ultimately landing on him and the donkey. During the lassoing challenge, however, she moo'd, luring Ben and ultimately capturing him.

During this interim, she initially talks to Ben and is told that Christian is an evil wizard who ultimately eliminated Chloe. After confronting him head-on, her arm was twisted after she threw a couple punches and was confused on the big words both Ben and Christian were shouting. She was then told that Ben was a snake, but Petra seemed confused throughout the whole interaction with Christian, not wanting to believe that Ben was evil himself.

### **The Chefshank Redemption**

Day six of the lot rolls around, and Petra walks out calmly after Momo and Kagame crash on the door. During the first challenge, Petra added avocados after having a disgusting experience with them. She is then crushed by the team during the laundry cart race, fortunately not getting hit with any projectiles from the enemy team. Her and Stephanie then do the majority of the digging, and by them I mean Stephanie--Petra mainly put dirt to the side, before ultimately winning the challenge.

After hearing that Ben was eliminated, she asked Chef Hatchet permission to talk to Ben, where she wrote her number down and slid it into Ben's pocket.
