Petra is an NPC who Aloy meets in the side quest “Heap of Trouble” or in “The Looming Shadow”. She is a blacksmith/inventor and is the leader of the settlement called the Free Heap. Petra seems to be attracted to Aloy, mentioning that she always had a weakness for restless girls. In some playthroughs, Aloy calls her out for flirting at inopportune times, the most explicit reference to Petra’s sexuality.
