Personality

Petal is extremely shy and anxious. She reacts poorly when surrounded by other people, likely as a consequence of her childhood and adolescence in Kanatalia, where she lived on the streets. She is enthusiastic about her projects and loves to learn about alchemy. Though she avoids conflict, she does everything she can to protect her friends. She is a trusting person and is very loyal to Calder and the crew of the Testament.

Petal learned alchemy as part of an apprenticeship in the Kanatalia workshops. She was fired after alchemical goods that she was delivering to the palace went wrong. After being denied a spot in the Imperial Guard, she ended up going back to Kanatalia, where she lived in an alchemist's dump. She used extra components that the alchemists didn't need in order to make her concoctions until Calder found her and offered her a job as part of the crew of the Testament.

On the Testament, Petal spent most of her time below decks. She worked as the alchemist onboard, creating alchemical lights and weapons in order to deal with the various Chimera and Elder threats on the Aion Sea. Her concoctions were fairly reliable, though the crew was careful to always find out if anything Petal made had strange side-effects. During combat situations, Petal stayed out of the line of fire, though she can be dangerous when threatened.

As the crew traveled to various ports on the Aion Sea, Petal took the chance to eavesdrop on Alchemical lectures in order to refine her craft and get closer to her magnum opus- a concoction that could make someone into a Champion. After Calder Martin was appointed Emperor, she took a job at the palace to cover the shortage of alchemists after the majority went with the Independent guilds.

When Calder is attacked by Shera during the events of Kings and Killers, Petal saves his life by giving him a potion that gives him enormous strength. She later survives the battle against the Elders and remains a member of the Testament's crew.

Abilities

Petal is a talented alchemist who can create a variety of concoctions. She is adept at making explosions and other weapons, but her true skill is in creating a potion that can change a person into a Champion. She carries a set of smoke bombs and other incendiary devices with her as a defensive measure.
