what's happening with Petra in this?

Petra is a complicated figure in Lotus's life. She's their older sister, but she was the one who raised them. She'll represent everything they come from, the meaning of family and the truth of gods, what it's like to live in a changing world.

She'll be disdainful of the valley prides' unyielding attachment to their traditions. She teaches Lotus that change is natural and that no rules can truly define the world. She'll teach them that there are no pure goods or pure evils, ideals that lead them to challenge Goldspring and Asphodel on everything, always wanting to find that underlying thread.

And Petra will show them that to love is to teach, to know things about the world and then to share them is a gift. Knowledge is power, and power should be shared. She instills in them a burning curiosity about the world that becomes fundamental to how Lotus approaches pride customs.

I'm not so sure about her son. I think if anything, she would give him over to Lotus because of that same sense of wanting them to have family in the pride, but also giving them the gift that she was given herself: the opportunity to raise them and teach them and love them. I do know his name will be Coriander, though.

#petra is walking a fine line between “i love my sibling” and “i fucking hate their roommates” #coev: petra #coev: lotus #coev: outsiders

#my art #coev: petra #she's like the most developed character so far #but considering she's one of the most important i think that's apt #coev: outsiders

YAY YOUR BACK!!! So they have scales gosh fire guy going to be the only one without in this pride… what have you plan on their backstory

I'MMA BE REAL that's one of the things I haven't figured out fkgjh I think I need to figure out the conflicts of the story more before I can tailor their backstory to be especially relevant. All I know is that their name becomes Lotus, and they have a sister called Petra

#coev: lotus #coev: petra #coev vs rewrite #< will be my tag for stuff comparing and contrasting the two

[cats-of-eden-valley]

Are Princess and Rusty still related, as they are in canon? Petra and Lotus’s names are so different! Just wondering if that meant something 👀

- COEV Enjoyer Anon

Lotus's previous name was Caph! And they were adopted by Petra. They call her their sister cus it's the relationship they have, but they don't have the same parents or anything like they did in the rewrite
