NifEtra

NifEtra is the femslash ship between Petra Ral and Nifa from the Attack on Titan fandom.

Canon
Nifa and Petra were both members of the Survey Corps. While they had no interactions, there is a heavy possibility that they have met.

Spoof on Titan
In Spoof on Titan, the two are somewhat close, as Nifa was seen complimenting Petra's dress. They are also seen chatting, when Petra tells her that she saw Levi with a tank top on, causing Nifa to tell her how lucky she is.

Fanon
Considering their lack in interaction, NifEtra's fans are minimized. Due to the two being the only women in their squads, and their squads being Levi's and Hange's, they're usually seen alongside LeviHan, or mostly only Hange. Both Nifa and Petra are considered the more underrated women in AOT. The two both have rather cheerful personalities, although Nifa has shown to be more serious at times. Fans have noticed that they look rather similar, and this may lead to shipping them romantically. While it has less than five fanfictions for them, it's somewhat popular for Nifa. This ship rivals Rivetra and MobuNifa.

Both have been formally introduced in separate seasons, therefore fanfictions'll imagine them meeting before the events of season one. Fans generally see this as a more platonic relationship, considering the fact that there are more fanfictons for the two on the gen side. A few, however, dislike this ship as they had no interactions whatsoever throughout the course of the series. Even as a rarepair, it is relatively unpopular, as NanaPeto may be prefered as a rare pair for Petra. A few would argue that Petra and Nifa are lesbians, as they've never shown direct romantic attraction to men, although the same could be said for women.

NifEtra's popularity is more often started due to their similar appearance; like their matching eye color, hair length, and reduced height difference. Nifa's lack of screentime is the main source for people to dislike it, as some may not know who Nifa is, as her death was so sudden. In artwork, it is more common for the two to be seen simply chatting. Often, Nifa is described as Petra's 'secret admirer', or simply the one to crush on the other; and the latter being completely oblivious about it. Angst is also commonly seen in works; and Nifa hearing of Petra's death too late, or before she could declare her love to her. However, many appreciate the fact that the two are possibly together in the afterlife, so it would be wondered if the two officially met after Nifa's death.
