History
Petina comes from the newsgroup alt.fan.pratchett.[2] Before her first appearance, she attended a boarding school there, where she regularly had Tom Brown's Schooldays-style Adventures. An unknown force captured her and put her in the armor of the Footnote Fiend, using her in an attempt to conquer/destroy afp. Afterwards, she was brought to the LNH to learn how to control her powers.
