Petra's father
CharacterPetra Ral's father travels to greet the Survey Corps after its 57th expedition, eager to talk with Captain Levi about a letter in which his daughter pledged her devotion to the squad. He chats warmly about her future, voicing a father's worry that she is too young to settle down, unaware she has already died.
Appearance
Brown eyes look out from a lightly wrinkled face that places him somewhere between his late forties and early fifties. Shaggy brown hair, kept short, tops a modest peasant wardrobe: a gray shirt under a black vest, black trousers, and a blue scarf.
Personality
Pride in his daughter radiates from everything he says; her selection for the Special Operations Squad clearly delights him. At the same time, her written vow to devote herself completely to Levi unsettles him, since he wants Petra to live fully before committing to marriage at so young an age. Face to face with the famous captain he comes across as jittery but genuinely friendly.
