Petra Iwaizumi

**"Insignificant being be gone!"**

**Petra Iwaizumi** (Japanese: **岩泉 ペトラ** *Iwaizumi Petora*) was previously a third-year in Templar Academy; serving as the team`s captain, a wing spiker, an opposite hitter, and a defense specialist. As of 2018, she is a member of the Japanese Volleyball Federation, having climbed up the ranks until she was head of the organization. She is known as the "Queen of the Court" due to her tendency to criticize her enemies.

## Appearance

Petra is a beautiful teenage girl with waist-length black hair which is tied with two red ribbons by each shoulder and angular blue eyes. She changes her hairstyle to twin tails when she is at home, usually tying her hair up into a bun when she is practicing volleyball. Unlike most students in her class, Petra is not required to wear the Templar Uniform due to her family connections and her sports scholarship. She typically is dressed in a black blazer with a white shirt underneath it, a red ribbon tie, a plaid skirt and black stockings up to her knees. Even though she is seen as flat-chested compared to most of the other female characters, she is still considered to be beautiful. Her typical expression is a frown, as she considers her teammates to be fairly lazy.

## Personality

Petra is a smart and beautiful young teenager who comes from a wealthy family, but she has a tendency to be blunt and often points out faults in other people without sugarcoating them, which can be seen when she was criticizing her teammates` lazy handwriting. She also has a very cold and unfriendly demeanor, despite being the Captain of the Volleyball Club. She is strict, and stern on her teammates, tending to straight-out say what is on her mind; this makes her appear selfish or even overly rude at times. Despite all of these traits, she deeply cares for her teammates and takes the time to check on their mental and physical conditions. Despite her calm and reserved demeanor, she has a frighteningly darker side. Veronica noted that she emits an evil aura when she is seriously angry and expressing her loathing about a certain individual. This can be seen when she told her opinion on people who send love messages and the belief that they should be eliminated. It should be noted that she made certain individuals like Dante and Pandora expelled from during her middle school due to love messages directed to her. She even claimed that she would crush her enemies face-to-face. When talking to Ushijima, she typically has a stoic look on her face and talks in a monotone way.

## Plot

### **Karasuno High Team Formation Arc**

Petra gets featured as the number one captain in Nagasaki Prefecture in a volleyball magazine that the Karasuno High players are reading.

### **Interhigh Arc**

Templar plays against Veronica Academy (2:0 / 25-18, 25-9).

Before the Templar vs Fyla match starts, Petra and Freya shake hands, and Freya announces that he`ll win. However, in the end, Fyla can’t stop Petra’s powerful spikes and Templar wins.

### **Tokyo Expedition Arc**

Petra is walking from the train station, from having visited her grandparents at their respective coaching jobs, and decides to drop by Shiratorizawa Academy to visit Wakatoshi Ushijima and give him a lunch. When she gets to Shiratorizawa, she comes across a confrontation between two members of Karasuno High School and Ushijima. Once they leave, Petra walks to Ushijima and hands him a lunch before reminding him to eat it all. She then walks over, and gets into a car with tinted windows waiting outside before it pulls away from the school.

#### **Spring High Preliminary Arc**

On the first day of Spring High, Templar led by Petra, enters the Sendai City Gymnasium. Later, as Petra exits the bathroom, Hinata bumps into her knocking her over. A little surprised, Petra accepts his help to get up and notes that she looks forward to seeing Karasuno fight against Shiratorizawa before walking away, pinning her hair up into a bun as she walks away. Ushijima, Oikawa, and Iwaizumi are seen listening to their conversation from around the corner. Petra passes them, without noticing with the rest of her team members commenting that their opponents are going to be like fodder for pigs snickering as they do so. Hajime tries to call out to Petra but is stopped by Veronica who angrily glares down at him, Eita then kicks her in the stomach and starts dragging her down the hallway by her jacket, an angered look on her face.

Templar`s first match is on Court A against Fyla Academy (2:0 / 25-15, 25-12).

After Aobajohsai lost to Karasuno, Petra approaches Oikawa after Ushijima leaves commenting that she thought Aobajohsai did wonderful and hands him a bag for his team filled with various sweets before running over to her teammates waiting over in the corner. Before long, the Templar vs Heiwa finals match begins. Petra enters the stadium confidently with the rest of her team behind her. As she`s warming up, she accidentally jump-serves the ball directly at her team`s libero, with said libero perfectly receiving the ball with little-to-no trouble, shocking the entire gymnasium into silence. Right before the game begins, Eita comes and tells Petra to stop being so stoic, slapping her on the back hard resulting in Petra`s face turning a bright crimson-red and steam coming out of her ears. The rest of her team is bewildered and Veronica starts dragging Petra to the starting line, a dark aura around her.

At the beginning of the match, Petra dominates using only 70-80% of her strength. Her immense strength and ambidextrous nature throw Heiwa off, especially Harold and Harrison until Harold manages to some-what receive Petra`s spikes. However, by that point, Templar's already close to winning the set.
