Movie
Description
Petra Ral served in the Survey Corps as the only female soldier personally selected by Captain Levi for his elite Special Operations Squad. She stood approximately 158 cm tall and weighed 55 kg. Her appearance differed across media: manga depicted her with blonde hair, while the anime gave her light ginger hair and amber eyes, styled in a shoulder-length cut with bangs swept left. She wore the standard Survey Corps uniform over a white button-up shirt.

Petra balanced kindness with combat readiness, acting as a supportive guide for Eren Yeager upon his squad admission and advocating for mutual trust among comrades. Despite her caring nature, she reacted decisively to threats, drawing swords when Eren accidentally transformed into a Titan before later apologizing. She maintained fierce loyalty to Levi but frequently argued with squadmate Oluo Bozado over his attempts to imitate the captain, referring to their clashes in guidebooks as "lovers' quarrels." Petra guarded her dignity carefully, particularly regarding past vulnerabilities like her alleged panic during her first expedition.

She trained alongside Oluo before joining Levi’s squad. During the 49th expedition (featured in the OVA "Ilse’s Notebook: Notes from a Scout Regiment Member"), Petra witnessed Commander Erwin Smith reject Hange Zoë’s request to capture a Titan alive. Later, she and Oluo accompanied Hange for safety after Hange pursued a Titan alone. Petra also participated in reinforcement missions, including tending to a critically injured soldier outside Wall Rose.

Petra achieved 58 confirmed Titan kills—10 solo, 48 in team operations—ranking her among the regiment’s deadliest fighters. Her combat skills (rated 6/10) were bolstered by high initiative (7/10), wits (7/10), and teamwork (9/10). During the 57th expedition, she coordinated her squad to blind the Female Titan with vertical maneuvering gear gas and cripple its arms. When the Titan regenerated its eyes and killed Eld Jinn, Petra froze in shock. The Female Titan then fatally kicked her, shattering her spine against a tree.

Her body was abandoned during the regiment’s retreat to reduce transport weight. Petra’s father later approached Levi, revealing her letters expressing devotion to Levi and her career, which fueled his worries about her safety and marriage prospects. Levi absorbed this with visible distress.

Petra appeared symbolically in later events: Eren Yeager recalled her while reflecting on casualties tied to his family’s actions and during a conversation with Historia Reiss under Reiss Chapel. Commander Erwin envisioned her among fallen comrades questioning their sacrifices. Hange invoked her memory while opposing Eren’s global destruction, convinced Petra would reject such actions. During Hange’s sacrificial death, Petra appeared among welcoming spirits of deceased scouts. Levi also saw her in post-victory visions honoring lost comrades, where she and others saluted him before vanishing.

Additional details include her December 6 birthday and her Greek-derived name meaning "rock" or "stone." Supplementary materials noted she soiled herself during her first expedition, an incident she disliked referencing. Her relationship with Oluo combined contentiousness with deep mutual trust forged through years of shared missions.
