Background
The 6 element-siblings is a hidden family living in Mount Etna, hiding themselves from the developing world, though they are called as Quintessences in ancient wisdom. They weren't born, nor made from human hands. Instead, they are formed from the natural elements of the Earth. So, every time they die, they are reincarnated with a new sibling that represents the same element as the one that died before. They need each other for their strength to support themselves physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. If one is missing and the location of the lost Quintessence is unknown, then each of them has to suffer from severe power-loss, making them totally feeble.
A rather unexpected invasion and a battle has erupted in their home. Though the siblings won the war, their Main Wielder, Zephel is no where to be found. Pika, the third-born sibling, stays behind along with her older brother Eyami, and her two younger sisters Eyuki and Likemuri, when her younger brother, Hikaru, sets out on a journey to find their lost leader; their eldest brother Zephel. Hikaru meant to escape quietly, but Pika caught the young boy sneaking about. Surprisingly, she didn't forbid him to escape, but only gave him a communication watch, to keep in contact with him. Her sudden kindness startled Hikaru, so his last words to her before he left is a promise to bring Zephel back.
When the news of Hikaru finally finding Zephel had reached the rest of the siblings' knowledge, their powers returned. Not long after that, Eyuki sets out to find her brothers, and Pika was left alone with her remaining two siblings.
It is until they felt a sudden power-loss that they realized Zephel had dissappeared again. So Eyami sets off to find the eldest one, leaving Likemuri under her care. One day, after the youngest had reached her 16th birthday, Likemuri ordered Pika to accompany her in search for her favorite brother Eyami. Pika suspected this to happen, she's just waiting for the girl to break, because the logic in Pika's head being the only reason each and every one of her siblings left their sanctuary is to reunite with whoever they're close with; Hikaru with Zephel, then Eyuki with Hikaru, then Eyami with Zephel. And now the final chain being Likemuri towards Eyami.
Being very aware of how strong Muri's relationship is with Eyami, she complied without much of a fight. Pika left their home with Likemuri to find the rest of their siblings, since Pika herself has been wanting to see the world for quite some time.
Personality
Pika very much detests her name, so she
Petra holds great self-confidence in herself and her abilities, and she's very strong in defending her ground. This independent young woman acts very mature most of the time; she's very patient and responsible, not excessive in expressing her emotions, asserting her point of view with a firm standpoint, and has a tendency to view problems from a lot of different angles. Her thirst for knowledge is unsatiable, and often she would force
Petra cares for her siblings just as much as the rest of them, but she doesn't generally show that side of her to the point that the others mistook her of being too arrogant. Her blithe ignorance to her general surrounding also made her seem rather blank and uncaring. Petra also has this maniacal side similar to a mad scientist when the chance of experimentation arrives. Often sadistic in this mode of hers, Petra is seen as a very terrifying individual and had quite a lot to do with birthing a few traumas on people.
Weapons/Abilities
While her brothers held swords as their basic weaponry, Petra chose to wield a long pointed steel rod to protect herself, a sort of spear more or less. She rarely uses her weapon to attack, as it is mostly used to defend herself, thus is why she chose a lance as her preferred weapon. The shaft is retractable, as it is much longer than it appears, mostly because it is often used to amplify her natural affinity to her element.
She often kept her staff magnetically secured at her back, behind her right shoulder and down across her left hip, without the help of magnets. How this is logical is due to her ability.
Petra possesses the ability to direct electrons and protons with or without a conductor -- basically, she can control electricity. She herself is a conductor in a way, a capacitance, channelizing the energy wherever it may be. Since everything posseses energy, even herself, Petra is able to store her electrical prowess within herself and the most minute of objects. This made her quite liable to lash electrical shocks anywhere, at any given time.
Since she can redirect currents involving charged particles, Petra is also able to manipulate several force fields such as magnetic forces, the space around a radiating body within its electromagnetic oscillations, a field of energy lost from the radiator to space...and any other types she can try her charges on.
Basically, Petra is absolutely terrifying if you challenge her in battle, especially in long-distance attacks. Also especially if she's in her sadistic maniacal mood.
She also possesses slight detection ability and is able to locate a person or a specified object within a certain radius around her.
Strengths
Physically, Petra is almost invincible, with what her electrical strikes lashing everywhere around her general radius area that can shock any incoming attacks. It's not her physique that's powerful, it's her near-unbreakable defense lines.
Petra is also rather critical mentally, whether with her choices, in battle, or herself. This makes her rather quick to find and call attention to errors and flaws. It isn't surprising if she were to change tactics right in the middle of a heated battle if she notices a flaw in her battle flow. This also goes the same way if her master plan goes awry, she is always ready with a number of backup plans.
Weaknesses
Although Petra seemed to be absolutely flawless physically since her lines of attacks and defense seems to be impenetrable, she is absolutely useless if she suffers even the slightest bit of pain, even the smallest skin cut -- it would render Petra utterly powerless. If anyone managed to break through her infinite lines of defenses and harm her, then the victory goes directly to her opponent.
This is mainly because Petra is very much like an electrical circuit -- she provides a path for electrical current to flow. Similar like the downside of a circuit, if one device on the circuit is broken, then the electrical charge is unable to flow properly. This is Petra's major weakness. If she were to try and redirect the electrical charge through her while she's in pain, then she would most likely electrocute herself.
This is especially bothersome since she cannot even risk to overwork herself, and was forced to be extra careful when handling things. During her menstrual cycle, Petra is completely powerless due to her stomach cramps, thus would usually hide herself away for a whole week each passing month.
Mentally, while Petra maintains a strong hold of her own mind, she cannot bear the thought of the future, of the unknown, of things she cannot possibly predict and control. Even the thought of her siblings growing up scares her in a way, silently. The way her mind works is too different than most others.
Although she always dreams of stepping out of the sanctuary to learn more of the world, the thought of births, deaths and anything revolving the future of mortality itself frightens Petra. She cannot fully understand the realm beyond her world of science, so such natural things positively alarms and confuses her so much, even a crying newborn baby could scare her out of her mind. This, comically, made her scared of her own menstruation. In turn, during those moments, her mental state is slightly imbalanced...well, more imbalanced than normal.
Perhaps "crazy" is the more definite word when she's in such a state.
