This is a list of characters in the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Fan Fic, Drakonophobia
Petra is the Dovahkiin of this story. A Nord born in Cyrodiil, she was raised on a farm in the north with her parents when strange events lead her to Skyrim. The events at Helgen and the Western Watchtower leave her deeply traumatized and extremely fearful of Dragons. She heads to Riften and joins the Thieves Guild at the behest of Brynjolf, who discovers who she really is.

- The Chosen One: Dovahkiin of the ages. She doesn't want the role, but comes to accept it.
- Cry into Chest: With Brynjolf any time she just bursts into tears.
- Happily Failed Suicide: Played with. Petra didn't want to die in the first place but it would have been best for the world if she did (It Makes Sense in Context) she goes along with it due to the Arc Words.

Tropes that appear in Chronophobia
After the Cosmic Retcon. Petra's personality is given a bit of a shift as well as how events unfolded once more that she's a much different person, although there are many tropes that remain the same, hinting something else is on the horizon for the Dragonborn.
- Amnesia Missed a Spot: In a way, this was supposed to happen. While Brynjolf's memories of the this timeline was slowly fading into his mind, Petra's is the opposite. Her memories are slowly returning to her current self, but she's getting confused by it all and is having a hard time understanding it all.
- The Champion: Fulfills her destiny as Dragonborn without much hassle and is suggested to follow the games mains storyline to the end. Although things change rapidly afterwards into the Dawnguard storyline.

He finds a girl in a tattered dress and despite her stubborn nature invites her to the Thieves Guild after she manages to do the job without a hitch. He eventually finds out she's dragonborn and doesn't want to be. She comes around to his help eventually, and in time falls in love with her.

- I Just Want to Be Normal: Shares this with Petra.
- Intoxication Ensues: Has one too many drinks with Nelacar in Chapter 36.

A huge female dragon. Described as:Out of the energies, summoning a white light out of nothing, forming a huge creature...as it stood on top of the tower in all it's glory. It was once blinding, then took the form of the dragon I had seen in the Laaglein...the one with the soft face, the glistening diamond wings, feathered main, the four curled horns like a crown, the sapphire eyes, the tail split in four and it's size seven times larger than the average dragon. It spread it's wings and shouted fire into the air.
- Our Dragons Are Different: Different as different from the standard dragons you see in the games. She's the only female dragon and has a far more important role to time itself than anyone else. Case in point, time dies and she dies also. And vice versa. Result? CESSATION OF EXISTENCE.
