Welcome to my character portrait gallery

For anyone who is wondering, Wednesday became 'black Wednesday' for me because I cannot draw mid-week!
In fact I'm sure the rainforests mourn Wednesday too by the amount of paper I tear through in frustration... so this is a blog for all who know what like it is to regularly shout at their pencils
Oh yes it's also all about fictional characters plus interviews with them, yeah, that too :)

Petra Hale


Petra is 4ft 5in tall and at 14 years of age is the second youngest character in our collection.

An intensely clever, logical and grounded girl she rarely feels the need to idly converse with others. Strangers thus mistakenly believe her to be cold, uncaring or shy to the point of debilitation. A vulnerable girl especially when distracted; she is also often perceived as having a form of autism. Able to process vast amounts of information at speed, Petra has an impressive eidetic memory.

She is also quite obsessive with things being in the ‘correct’ order. An example of this at the dinner table would include: napkins must be precisely folded; certain foods must not touch and cutlery must be straight and symmetrically aligned.

She is mostly the quiet and observant type unless someone or something sparks her interest. Once she starts talking she tends to reel off every little detail without regard to her audience. Her speech and actions often resemble that of a much younger child.

When absorbing new information she can seem utterly vacant, her dark brown eyes form a void that many find unsettling. Petra is intrigued by anything ‘new,’ she enjoys categorising and calculating.
She currently works under her parents as a student of alchemy and part time stall attendant, albeit one who sometimes dismisses the fact that purchases require payment.
