Watch Priscilla Barnes as Magda: Magda is Petra's Mother. She is in a wheelchair, with an acid burn along the side of her face. Her hair is blonde and she speaks with an accent. In Chapter Nine we see that she can actually walk. She usually wears loose dresses with flowers on them. She has green eyes. She can speak Czech.
When the show starts Magda is staying at The Marbella where her son-in-law is the owner. Her husband sent Petra and Magda to West Germany to escape the Iron Curtain. Unfortunately he died one week before the wall fell leaving Magda to raise Petra alone.
Five years before the show starts they are living in the Czech Republic where Petra is dating a man named Milos. Things did not end well between them and Milos eventually attacked Petra with acid, which missed and hit Magda instead. The attack led her to get hit by a car, leaving her crippled and with a horrible burn on her face. Milos went to jail for his actions and Magda and Petra are on the run from him when the show starts.
