Powers:
Petra is a "terrakinetic", having the ability to psychokinetically manipulate, control, levitate and reshape the classic element of earth; sand, stone, rock, lava, and/or dirt and can even transform the consistency of earth and rock, such as turning a lump of coal into a diamond. She can also use this power to cause minor earthquakes, rockslides, create shapes out of solid rock and even make the earth swallow up or trap enemies.
Other Skills:
History:
Petra's heritage links her back to Denmark, but she was born in America.
She lived peacefully with her family until soon after her thirteenth birthday, when a deadly rock slide killed all of her family, leaving her the sole survivor. She never understood why she didn't perish along with her family.
She was placed in a foster home, where her foster father acted strangely towards her. While walking through New York City's Central Park, her foster father attempted to molest her. She escaped by aciddentally manipulating the earth and grounding him to the ground. This event led her to the discovery of her mutant abilities and the understnading of why she survived the rock slide.
In order to avoid more foster homes and possible events such as this, she created temporary caves for her home and occasionally stole to survive.
At 16, she discovered more about her powers-she could turn coal into diamonds. To earn money from this ability, she found a pawnbroker to sell the diamonds to. One day, the pawnbroker made an excuse to call the shop owner, causing Petra to flee.
She woke up in a holding cell, where she was told she had a visitor. This visitor had dropped all charges and convinced the authorities to release her in her care. This visitor was Moira McTaggert.
She eventually joined the X-Men team and currently resides at the Mansion where she continues to fight all who oppose her.
