==Description==
"Well... Grace? Um... Of all of the Scienceborn, she certainly seems to be one of the nicer ones... I like her a lot, though she doesn't talk that much... Ah well.. I guess I can't change that.... However... I tend to freak out over the whole 'black scale, white eye' thing she has... She reminds me too much of Oscillation half the time... It's not here, is it?"
~Kraken
At a quick glance, someone might mistake Grace for a NightWing at first because of her shimmering black scales that look like they're made of obsidian. If they didn't look carefully, they wouldn't notice that she didn't have stars under her wings, or how she's too slender to be a NightWing, or that she has a frill.
Now someone wouldn't be entirely wrong if they thought that she was a NightWing at first; she does have a small amount of NightWing DNA, after all. RainWing DNA was mostly used to make this scienceborn though. She looks very similar to a RainWing except for her black scales that cannot shift color and a few other minor differences.
One of these differences is that even though her horns are the shape of a RainWing's, they tend to be slightly thicker than what might be normal for that tribe. Her snout is also slightly less slender and tapered than the snout of a RainWing as well because of her NightWing DNA. Grace's frill is slightly smaller than a RainWing's, and the spines running down her neck, back, and tail all look a bit more NightWing-like than RainWing-like. She has a large chest like a NightWing, but this is only partially because of her NightWing DNA.
Like a RainWing, Grace is slender, but because she spent a good chunk of her life trapped in a lab, she's fairly frail even for a RainWing. As Grace spent more time out of the lab, she started to become less frail, although it's still evident that she's not that strong. She's not very muscular, but after she left the lab, she started to get more of it.
Grace is a small scienceborn, and she is the smallest out of all the original scienceborn. Even among the RainWings, she's a bit on the smaller side. Despite her small size, those who see the way her eyes glimmer with intelligence and confidence would know that she is not a dragn to be messed with. She holds herself with pride that make her seem larger and more powerful than she actually is. Even though she may not be large or strong or muscular, she's clever. 
Her eyes are a piercing emerald green that seem to analyze everything. They are cat-like and tend to be rather unsettling, especially when she's glaring at someone.
==Personality==
"Grace? Ugh. She doesn't like fire, and she won't respond even when I burn things. She's not even a real RainWing. At least, that's what the scientists say. Although… she does have pretty eyes…WAIT, IS THIS BEING RECORDED?! (censored) (censored) (censored) *camera cuts out*"
~Nectar, resident MudWing scienceborn
Grace does not talk much. She is very blunt and straight to the point, and she doesn't sugar-coat anything. This is why she might come off as a bit rude when she doesn't mean to offend you at all. Even if some of her words sting, she rarely uses sarcasm and tries not to use her words as weapons. She is somewhat quiet and avoids talking unless there's something that she actually wants to talk about. She can't stand small talk.
Another thing to note about Grace is that she is tough and not easily offended. She rarely complains about anything, and will often be so stubborn as to turn down help even when she needs it. She believes you should grit your teeth and get through something on your own, whether you like it or not. This doesn't mean she doesn't feel all the pain that others feel, she just bottles it up and pretends it doesn't exist if she can.
Grace often feels as though she has to do this to set an example for the other scienceborn. She wants to show them that they can stay strong in difficult times, even if on the inside, she doesn't feel as strong as she tries to appear to be. From observing other dragons, she has realized that confidence is contagious, and if one dragon has an aura of confidence and perseverance, others will develop it as well. She tries to spread strength and determination among the other scienceborn by appearing unbreakable on the outside, even if she is truly quite fragile. 
You'd think someone so who tries to appear so tough would not be seem phased by meeting new dragons, but Grace is the exact opposite. She is one of the shyest dragons you could possibly meet, and will avoid meeting new dragons under most circumstances. A lot of social interaction makes her unhappy and nervous, being very introverted. Even with her closest friends, she doesn't speak a lot and guards her secrets very well.
Since words don't often get to her, it's hard to flare Grace's temper up. She is very calm and there aren't many ways to get her angry. She keeps her cool under almost any situation, and if she starts panicking on the inside, you wouldn't be able to tell. She is relatively peaceful and avoids purposely hurting others unless necessary, such as in self-defense. She likes places that are quiet and serene, and hates loud noises.
She is very mysterious and not quick to reveal too much about herself to another dragon. When you first meet her, she will avoid striking a conversation with you, and when she does, she's generally very serious throughout it. She often tries to seem as confident as possible when around other dragons she doesn't know; she refuses to show weakness. She isn't exactly the best with social interaction, and doesn't always understand social cues. She can be very empathetic when she wants to be though, yet she usually prefers to rely on logic.
Her mysteriousness shows how unwilling she is to trust other dragons right away. The only dragons she truly trusts are the other scienceborn (excluding Nectar and Oscillation). Grace understands that trust is a very precious thing, so to get hers, you have to earn it. She tries to be polite and kind to most dragons, and this is sometimes mistaken for trust, even if it isn't. Once her trust is earned, it is a bad idea to break it, since she takes trust incredibly seriously. Doing this will make her your enemy.
Grace is a pacifist, and she generally tends to avoid fighting whenever she can. War, violence and death are all things that disgust her. She believes that the only reason death should exist is so that overpopulation does not occur, not for reasons like revenge, causing misery to another dragon, as punishment, etc. Fighting is always a last resort and only used in situations where self defense is required.
"When the first scientist spoke, she looked up from Kraken's body, and listened to his words. No, she couldn't make this choice. Even if Oscillation was horrible to them, it didn't deserve to die. It wasn't its fault it was cruel. That was the scientists' fault for making it the way it was.
But she couldn't bear to stay trapped in a cage either. After getting a taste of freedom, even if it was very small, she wanted more. She wanted to feel fresh air and explore and not have everything she did bound by the cages the scientists kept her in. She knew the other mutants didn't like it too. It would be cruel of her as well to condemn them all to a life of confinement. Giving up Oscillation seemed like the obvious choice, but Grace couldn't bring herself to do it.
If I leave Oscillation here, it'll die, and it will be all my fault. I'll be a murderer. I'd kill Oscillation when it doesn't even stand a chance in its current unconscious state. She looked at her friends, hoping one of them would say something and make the decision for her. She couldn't do it."
~[Mutants RP]
To her, death is not a good way of getting rid of dragons who cause problems. She is fully aware that all dragon minds harbor potential and the capacity to change. Thus to her, killing dragons is a waste. She believes the way to deal with "bad" dragons is to get them to change into a better one so that they are then able to benefit everyone else rather than killing them off.
Grace can sometimes be confusing to others, because empathy and logic usually clash with each other, but to Grace, it seems the most logical to be empathetic. She views everything with her own strange, unusual perspective that most dragons are baffled by. To her, being empathetic makes complete logical sense, since understanding another dragon allows others to help the dragon so that they can then further benefit society.
"Grace noticed that there was a commotion going on and tried to comprehend what was going on. Whyren seemed to be refusing to show his power. It was a risky move, and rather irrational, but she could understand why he was angry at them. She was concerned for him, since she didn't want to see him get injured or worse by the scientists. At least he had a power at all to show off that might keep them from hurting him too badly. It wasn't like she did."
~[Mutants RP]
Grace highly values logic, and even though she highly values it, there are some things she values more than it. One of those things is freedom. To Grace, if you aren't free, you aren't truly living. Sure, you can, move and breath and whatnot, but if you're trapped, you're spirit is already dead in her eyes. She most likely believes so strongly in freedom because she spent most of her life trapped in the lab.
Grace is a relatively unromantic dragon, and has little to no interest in romance. This isn't because she thinks being in love with a dragon is necessarily bad; it just goes against her nature in a way. She believes that every single one of her friends deserve to be treated equally, and by being in a relationship with someone, she feels as though she is putting them above her friends. She doesn't judge those who want to be in relationships though.
One of the many interesting things about Grace is that unlike many dragons out there, she has a deep respect for animals and the environment. She's used to other dragons viewing animals as a quick snack or much less important than they are, but Grace is convinced otherwise. She's been in the minds of animals, talked to them, learned how they've functioned. And from what she's seen, animals are more than worthy of her respect. She also knows how valuable the environment is to animals, so she highly values that as well.
==Abilities==
"Grace is exceedingly powerful, nearly as strong as I am. The reason I am her superior is psychological, not physical. She does not use all of her power, and she is nowhere near my intelligence. But were she to gain a lack of empathy and a heightened intellect, she would be on par with me."
~Oscillation
Grace lacks the powers of most RainWings. She is unable to change the color of her scales, nor can she spit venom. She is very weak, living off of scraps of meat most of her life. She isn't particularly bold or brave either, and she doesn't have overall fighting skill.
Grace may not be strong, but she is fast. She is very agile, and she is the fastest of the scienceborns on foot or in the trees. She is also somewhat flexible. Her main power though is the ability to communicate with animals. Her eyes glow white when she uses this ability, and this alerts the others when she is talking to other creatures with her mind. She can't control other creatures, though. In fact, if she speaks with them through her mind for a long time (at least half an hour nonstop), they can actually control her temporarily (usually only a few minutes). She also gets minor to major headaches after communicating, depending on how long she communicated.
Like the rest of the scienceborn, Grace doesn't have a definite lifespan, but she can still easily be killed by other things such as illness.
"Suddenly, all the walls in her enclosure shattered. She ignored the pieces of glass raining down on her and ran for her life. Faster, faster, she kept on willing herself. She darted across the lab, a blur of black in all of the commotion, hoping the scientists or Kraken wouldn't kill her. "
~[Mutants RP]
As most of you already know, Grace is able to communicate with animals and read their minds to understand their true intentions. This is not what the scientists intended to happen though at all; they originally had very, very different plans for her. And her powers are not quite as simple as they seem. It was never intended for Grace to be able to communicate with animals, that was not the intention at all. Originally, the scientists wanted Grace to be able to have telepathy so that she could penetrate any mind to read their thoughts, but have them unable to read hers.
They wanted her to be able to read any mind relatively close to her, but they knew that this meant that if she was too far away, she wouldn't be able to reach other minds. This was necessary so that their scienceborn didn't become too powerful, yet this meant she had to get within a certain distance of a dragon to read their minds. Thus, they used mostly RainWing DNA so she could inherit their stealth and ability to turn invisible, allowing her to sneak up on dragons so she could read their minds.
This was a risky move on the scientists' part, since she could possibly ending up reading their minds, but they knew it would be useful to have a scienceborn that could read minds once they were ready to be used as war weapons.
They gave her some NightWing DNA, hoping it would allow her to read minds, even if the ability to read minds was then extremely rare among NightWings. In the end, it did help her communicate with animals later on, but because they avoided using too much NightWing DNA, her ability to read minds was very weak. Because the ability was so weak, she could only read minds much less intelligent than a dragon's, meaning she could only read the minds of creatures with very simple minds.
The NightWing DNA is also the reason that her scales are pitch black instead of color-changing like a RainWing's and the reason she slightly resembles a NightWing, which the scientists were very disappointed about. She also lost her venom-spitting abilities because of all the DNA her RainWing DNA was being mixed with, but she kept most of her other RainWing traits.
Once they realized what they had done to their RainWing and how weak her powers were, the scientists tried to add a small amount of shark DNA to her so she could sense the electrical signals being sent by the brain, going from neuron to neuron. This succeeded, making her powers stronger, but not quite strong enough to read the mind of a dragon.
So, now we know how Grace can read the minds of animals, but why is she able to communicate with them as well? This is because animals are sensitive to things like pheromones, and she is able to control what pheromones she gives off. This allows her to "speak" to the animals and the animals to "speak" to her. This is also one of the reasons why she is unable to communicate to dragons, as they are not as sensitive to the pheromones she releases, although sometimes her pheromones can alter a dragon's mood to a certain degree.
Now, the only thing we haven't covered about her powers is how the animals she communicates with are able to control her after a certain period of time. Well, once the animal has gained information about her from a long conversation, they are able to use that information against her if they so very pleased. When she reads their mind, the animal could send messages to persuade her to do whatever they desired, and it is very difficult for Grace to resist these messages for a reason that is still not completely understood. Usually only more intelligent creatures are able to do this though.
Another thing that is not something that is completely understood about Grace's powers is why her eyes glow white when she uses them. The answer to that mystery is still being searched for, although the reason may never be uncovered.

"Oh, gosh, I know this is going to be recorded....
Uuuuum...
So, well, she's a little bit rude to me, but I think her talking mentally is cool... Kind of... Overall she's pretty nice. I think. Kind of mysterious. So overall a so-so friend?? I'm not very goods at these... " 
~Varla, asked her opinion of Grace 
|}
Grace has a digestive system that could be compared to a fleshborn's in many ways, but because the scientists wanted her to be the best she could possibly be, they gave her a digestive system better than the digestive system of an average dragon. She is an omnivore like most dragons and can live off of plants alone or meat alone if necessary, but she prefers plants. 
Grace's biochemistry is also relatively similar to that of a fleshborn's, but altered just like her digestive system to be better than normal.
The main difference between her mind and a typical dragon's is that the scientists added different chemicals in her mind to make her slightly more intelligent than your typical fleshborn. Her brain is relatively NightWing-like, considering she was mostly made out of RainWing DNA.
Her muscles are somewhat weak compared to a fleshborn's, living in a lab most of her life and the fact that the scientists focused more on giving her speed, agility, and stealth than strength. RainWings aren't exactly known for their brilliant strength either, and most of her DNA donors were from that tribe. That's not to say she's as weak or frail as Oscillation is; she's only a little weaker than a typical dragon. 
She also has pheromone glands that are much larger than normal to allow her to communicate with animals. These glands were made unusually large by the scientists unintentionally, and are located in her chest area because there isn't a lot of room for them in her head, which is where they would most likely be located if they weren't so large. This makes her chest slightly larger than a typical RainWing's, along with the small amount of NightWing DNA in her. Most dragons would assume this is because she has slightly larger lungs than normal, but really, it's just the pheromone glands. 
Because the scientists wanted her to be more durable than your average fleshborn, she handles extreme temperatures a little better than your typical dragon (unless they were a SandWing/IceWing), though because of her RainWing and NightWing DNA, she handles the heat better than the cold. She also handles radiation better than an average dragon, allowing her to withstand it longer than a fleshborn, but radiation can still harm her if there is enough of it. 
Her immune system is also much stronger than normal. Because of this, Grace rarely gets ill. The fact that during her time in the lab, Grace was given many vaccinations is one of the reasons her immune system is so strong. After all, the scientists couldn't afford to have their weapon unable to fight because of diseases. The only time she'd really ever get sick is if she came into extended contact with a highly contagious disease. 
Her vision, hearing, and smell were all enhanced slightly by the scientists. This is usually an advantage for Grace, but when in a place that's very loud or very strong-smelling, her senses can easily become overwhelmed. This can be quite hindering at times.
There is one flaw in Grace's anatomy the scientists unintentionally gave her. Her scales are much weaker than most dragons' scales, despite the fact that they look normal. It is easy to tear them, and they offer little protection against other dragon's claws or teeth. Even though she heals fairly quickly compared to other dragons, if she isn't careful, she could end up seriously injuring herself. 
==Biography==
"Grace is um... Quiet? I don't really see her that much... At least she doesn't bother me or anything. And you know, I guess her power is pretty cool... Not as COOL as mine though, pffffff."
~Kamaria
When Grace's egg hatched, the scientists expected to see a colorful, healthy RainWing dragonet. What they did not expect to see was an abnormally small and pitch black dragonet that might not survive its first day out of the egg. Grace, they concluded, was almost as likely to die as Kraken, but not quite.
After carefully raising her separately from the other scienceborn for the first few months of her life so they could ensure her survival, they made sure she was completely healthy and at her proper stage of development. They gave her many vaccines and undergo many physical exams to ensure her health. She doesn't remember much of these first months since she was so young.
Eventually, Grace became interested in scrolls and would start to read them whenever she could get her talons on them. Using what she knew from the scrolls, she eventually decided she wanted to be referred to as a female. She got the name Grace by reading scrolls about RainWings and learning what their names were like. She decided she wanted to have a name like theirs and used some of the letters in her serial number to end up with the name Grace.
Eventually, the scientists would start to perform tests on her, which was the start of her dislike of them. It was also around this time that she became aware of the other scienceborn. Until then, she had no idea there were others like her. She was definitely one of the more quiet among the group, but she appreciated the company the others provided.
The scientists were disappointed with Grace because she had not gained telepathy like they had expected her to; they knew that much from their testing. They planned that if Grace didn't unlock some sort of powers by her second year of life that they would euthanize her and try again to create a telepathic RainWing.
For a while, she lived somewhat comfortably; her only fear was the testing the scientists did on her. She hated being locked up, and this eventually did negatively affect her mental state, but at least she had the others nearby for company. She read some scrolls sometimes and from what she learned, she decided to call herself Grace.
One day though, not too long before her second birthday, she overheard the scientists talking about how she most likely had to be euthanized since she was going to turn two years old soon and showed no sorts of powers whatsoever.
When she heard this, she was terrified for her life, constantly living in fear, and would constantly struggle against the scientists in any way she could. She'd fantasize about escaping the lab. She wasn't aware of her powers at the time and thought she was doomed to certain death.
"Grace felt dread bubble inside of her as she waited in her enclosure, observing the scientists carefully if they came close. She knew she didn't have a power. There was nothing special about her. She had nothing to display for her torturers. She couldn't spit venom, nor could she shift the color of her permanently black scales. They wanted something special, important, useful. She wasn't that, and she knew she would be 'disposed of,' which she was the nice way of the scientists saying she was going to be ruthlessly killed. She didn't want to die, even if she didn't have much to live for. Just the mere thought of it made her heart hammer and sheer terror course through her veins, yet she wasn't sure why.
As usual though, she didn't make her growing distress obvious. The only hint of her fear was the slight tremble throughout her body. Her emerald green eyes blankly followed the scientists as she tried not to let her fear control her. Perhaps she could fake some incredible talent. She doubted she could stall her doom, though. At least no one came for her yet."
~[Mutants RP]
That was, until the scienceborns' first attempt as escaping. She was then reminded that there was a world outside the glaring white lights and stuffy enclosures of the lab, and she actually might be able to reach it. Their first attempt at escape might not have been successful, but it gave her hope.
She clung onto that hope and didn't let go of it, even in the darkest of times, and it kept her from going too insane. Her hopes eventually came true when she and the other scienceborn managed to all escape the lab. She was finally free, and her freedom made her happier than she had ever been before. It was at this point in her life when she first left the lab that she was probably the most content.
"Long scratches covered the walls of Grace's enclosure. She wanted freedom. She wanted out. She was always calm, always the scienceborn she was supposed to be in front of a crowd, but she second everyone turned away, she clawed the sides of her cage. She could control only so much of her anger, yet other than that, she was able to control herself. She had to control herself, to cope with the pain of being experimented on, or else she'd lose all of the sanity she hadn't lost yet. She stared out the glass of her enclosure, her emerald green eyes appearing to be blank and emotionless. She felt emotions, she just was able to hold them in. To show that though, might cause a flood of anger and misery and tears.
So she just tried not to think about it. She tried, anyways.
Focus on the wall, focus on the door, focus on something to distract you, she encouraged herself, and she felt herself return to her calm, peaceful state she was usually in. She couldn't have angry outbursts again. This was harder ever since she had the faintest taste of freedom, the chance to meet others like her, but it was necessary.
See, good job, me. This is much better. Stay still, stay distracted from your tortures. Go to sleep, maybe. In your unconsciousness, you'll feel less fury. Less pain. Doesn't that sound nice?
She slowly slipped into her dreams, where the images of the other scienceborns filled her mind. They were the closest thing to friends she ever had, but their faces and the events that had happened so long ago were starting to slip away from her memory. They were the only things that brought her some joy. But feeling these things would only make her life harder, so maybe forgetting would make her life easier. Remember the nice SkyWing? And the sad IceWing? And the quiet SandWing? And the powerful SeaWing? And the angry MudWing? And.....the traitorous NightWing? Even the NightWing and the MudWing she missed a little.
She awoke, brushing the memories of the other scienceborns out of her head."
~[Mutants RP]
Grace's happiness went downhill from there. Since she knew that the scientists were advanced enough to create the scienceborn, she assumed that society would have become peaceful and relatively close to a utopia by then. Oh, how wrong she was.
Despite how far dragons had come, when she wandered Pyrrhia with the other scienceborn, she quickly saw that the tribes were not even close to becoming a utopia. Violence and war were abundant, and poverty was common. She saw how the environment was slowly being destroyed to make room for extravagant palaces and bustling cities. She saw how animals were being treated with irreverence and thought of as inferior. She was like an innocent dragonet who hadn't been exposed to the harshness of the real world since she was locked up in a lab for a good portion of her life.
She hated what Pyrrhia had become, although she stayed with the other scienceborn who were wandering around Pyrrhia because they were the only real friends she had. So she stayed with them as the war they were made to fight in started to brew. As they wandered, Grace tried to help the poor and the innocent and pure of heart whenever she could. Even though she knew she couldn't change Pyrrhia on her own, she hoped her small acts of generosity would have some kind of impact.
When Kraken left the group to go back to the lab, Grace was devastated beyoud words. She was broken by the disappearance of her friend. She became even more reserved than she already was, and she always seemed to have a glimmer of sadness in her eyes that never went away. Joy was something she no longer experienced. She was constantly gripped by depression. The only comfort to her was nature and wildlife.
The group searched for Kraken, and for a while, Grace had a sliver of hope they would find him, but that hope flickered out very quickly. Eventually the scienceborn revisited the lab they had been raised and tortured in, desperately looking for the SeaWing scienceborn. That was when they all watched Kraken set off his powers and destroyed the lab.
Grace thought Kraken was dead. She was almost certain of it. If she had been broken before, now she was crushed under the unbearable weight of sadness and grief. She rarely showed emotion around the other scienceborn, but when Kraken destroyed the lab, she started sobbing. She then ran away from her companions. They didn't bring her joy anymore. Hardly anything did.
She ran away from her friends and the rest of the world. She ran from it all, as if running away could solve her problems. She ran away to the wilderness where she'd have animals by her side to be there for her, to comfort her. She tried to use the comfort of the wildlife to help her get through her grieving, but all it did was numb the pain, the pain from seeing the horrors of Pyrrhia, the pain from being tortured when still young and small, the pain of losing Kraken, the pain from leaving her friends behind.
She stayed among the companionship of animals, missing her friends dearly, trying to fill the void in her heart. She never left, never emerged back into civilization, fearing what it has become, fearing that old wounds might be reopened from the sights she'd see. So she stays there, hiding from the world, her powers steadily growing stronger.
It is unknown whether or not Grace survived long enough to be around for the Pyrrhian Fallout.
==Grace's Files==
"GR4C31175 was a challenging project to create that ultimately resulted in failure. Trying to balance the amount of NightWing and RainWing DNA in it was exceedingly difficult, and we couldn't strengthen its powers to the amount required for reading dragons' minds unless we wanted to reduce its already compromised RainWing abilities. It was surprising to us that it managed to live through the first few months of its life, considering its small size and weakness. The experiment would never be useful as a superweapon in war, but it could have other purposes. GR4C31175's powers and mind are quite fascinating and studying it could give us more knowledge, so it has been kept alive for further research. If it wasn't for its potential to give us more knowledge though, the experiment most likely would have been euthanized by now."
~The Head Scientist
These are the files made by the Head Scientist containing basic information on Grace and her life in the lab. All of these files were intended to be used by scientists in the lab who were not very familiar with the scienceborn so they knew how to handle them properly. 
Grace is completely unaware that these files exist.

|-|File:GR4C31175 =
*Alias: Grace (do not refer to it as this). 
**It also refers to itself as female, but it is to be referred to as "it."
*Template Tribe: RainWing
*DNA Donors: Mostly RainWings, although some NightWing DNA and shark DNA was used
*Proposed Ability: Telepathy, all typical RainWing abilities
*First Signs Of Exhibiting Ability: It never exhibited the ability to read dragons' minds, but its ability to communicate with animals was first exhibited when GR4C31175 used its powers to calm the SandWing experiment when in its snake form. It was then exposed to other species of animals, and its ability to communicate with other creatures improved rapidly as this was done more frequently. Though GR4C31175 did not end up with the proposed ability it was planned to have, its ability to communicate with animals was something that seemed interesting to study, so the failed experiment was kept alive for further research.
*Warfare Potential: Though GR4C31175 would be an ineffective spy because it does not have telepathy and color-changing scales like the original plan, though its powers, if strengthened, offer some potential. Once its powers become strong enough, it could be able to get a variety of animals to do what it desired through mind-control or persuasion, allowing it to use these animals to aid the war effort. Though most dragons have a hard time detecting the pheromones released by GR4C31175, it has been noted when its pheromones are particularly powerful, they can slightly alter a dragon's mood. If this ability was enhanced greatly, GR4C31175 could cause large groups of enemies to start panicking, leaving them confused and vulnerable. 
*Other Notes: 
**GR4C31175 is frequently being tested to see if it can communicate with plants, yet so far, the experiments have not shown any communication between it and the plants. Why it cannot perform this task is something that is being studied. 
**The experiment has shown behavior that suggests it strongly desires to escape the lab multiple times. For this reason, it is kept under constant surveillance and is heavily guarded. If it attempts to escape, guards are ordered to knock it out and only kill it as a last resort to prevent its escape.
**It seems to take interest in the other scienceborn, although this is difficult to tell, for GR4C31175 is known for rarely exhibiting much emotion. 
**It has been noted by telepathic NightWing scientists testing on GR4C31175 that it is more difficult to read GR4C31175's mind than a typical dragon's mind or the other experiments' minds. It is theorized this is because GR4C31175 has had practice shielding its mind from animals, although this theory has not been proven. 
*Phenotype: GR4C31175 has black scales, black ventral scales, and emerald green eyes. See the diagram below for a better idea of its appearance.

|-|Caring for GR4C31175 =
*Times Fed A Day: 2 
*When To Feed It: Every day at 7:00 A.M. and 7:00 P.M. 
*What To Feed It: Cow, deer, or pig meat will suffice. It needs foods with lots of protein and it doesn't seem to need a lot of fruits or vegetables.
**If GR4C31175 needs to take a medication though, the proper amount of medication should be added to its food. It may not need the medication more than once a day, so it is necessary before giving it medication to make sure the experiment hasn't already been given the proper amount of it that day. This is to prevent an overdose, but if GR4C31175 gets an overdose, alert a scientist as soon as possible. If it is an emergency and the medication needs to be given to the experiment immediately, a scientist is to be quickly alerted of this as well.
*Times Enclosure Cleaned A Week: 1
*Times Water Bowl Refilled A Day: 1-2
**If the experiment is dehydrated though or has been through tiring physical activity, the water bowl should be refilled more frequently. 
*How To Take GR4C31175 Out Of Its Enclosure: If GR4C31175 needs to be taken out of its enclosure for reasons such as testing or cleaning out its enclosure, sedative gas must first be released into its enclosure so it is unconscious during the process of transporting it. After that, a muzzle should be put on its snout and its wrists and ankles should be tied together. This is a task only to be performed by guards. A scientists must have at least four guards accompanying them when taking GR4C31175 out of its enclosure. The experiment is then to be carefully carried by the guards to its destination. A similar process to this one must occur when returning GR4C31175 back to its enclosure.

==Relationships==
"Grace is super nice! Her powers are so amazing! She's an awesome dragon, and she should realize that! When it comes to power, she's on par with Kraken and I, and when it comes to kindness, she's probably the nicest dragon I know! I'm so glad she's my friend!"
~Amygdala
===The Original Scienceborn===
Kamaria- Grace is not close with Kamaria, and she never was very close with her. That's fine by Grace. Both of them appreciate their alone time, and Grace is happy to give this icy dragoness her chance to be left alone. Kamaria always seemed too cold to Grace, her gaze too piercing, her body so stiff, her rage silent and chilling. She'd rather just avoid this dragoness than try to get past her icy shell.
Grace is afraid of Kamaria's powers. She is in awe of them, but definitely still afraid of them. Ever since that one day when one of the scientist got skewered on an icicle created from Kamaria's anger, Grace felt as though this dragoness was too dangerous and unpredictable to be around when she was very emotional. There are some days where Grace envies Kamaria's powers, but most of the time she sees them as a threat to her and her friends.
Mojave- Grace isn't very close with Mojave, and neither of them talk to each other very much because they are both rather quiet and introverted. Grace doesn't mind. When they do interact though, she often finds herself feeling sympathy for the SandWing scienceborn because of his depression. In a world so harsh, she appreciates his kindness deeply.
When he turns into his snake form though, Grace's opinion on Mojave changes completely. She thinks of him as irritable, uncooperative, and unpredictable when in this state and usually can be found avoiding him when he is like this or trying to use her powers to calm him down.
Oscillation- Grace's relationship with Oscillation is definitely complicated, to say the least. On the one hand, she cannot stand Oscillation. She thinks its lack of empathy is repulsive. She hates how selfish it is and how blind it is to how others feel. She might not be as be bothered by it's lack of empathy if it didn't try to kill them, but now, she uses it as another reason to despise this scienceborn.
Even though she strongly despises Oscillation, she can't hate it because she knows it isn't its fault it is the way it is. The scientists made Oscillation that way, and she is aware of that. This fact almost makes Grace feel bad for Oscillation. She feels Oscillation would be a great dragon if it could just feel emotions.
There's a part of Grace though, that wonders what exactly it's like to be emotionless. Her fascination with Oscillation's mind and the way it works would almost be unsettling to some. She wants to know how it works, what it believes, why it does what it does, and what it would be like to be in Oscillation's scales. She wants to understand. She wants to know. She wants to analyze its mind and pick it apart so she can examine every little detail. Her own curiosity about it frightens her. Why does she want to know so badly? It's a question Grace often asks herself.
Amygdala though? She just makes Grace's relationship with Oscillation even more confusing. She personally finds Amygdala's kindness and benevolence balanced out with her intelligence something to be truly admired, though she dislikes that Amy values happiness more than freedom. She thinks Amygdala is a good dragon and she almost considers herself friends with Amygdala - except she often finds herself wondering if Amygdala is just an illusion created by Oscillation to earn her trust. She wants to believe Amy is real, but she'll always be very skeptical.
Kraken- Grace is probably the closest with Kraken out of all the other scienceborns. His friendly and gentle nature is enough to cheer her up on the days where she isn't feeling her best. She finds his occasional clumsiness to be rather amusing, although she wouldn't dare say that aloud, knowing that saying that might upset Kraken.
Out of all the other scienceborns, Grace probably trusts Kraken the most and is the most attached to him. She finds herself being rather protective of Kraken when a possible threat is nearby. Truly, no one will ever be extremely close to Grace because of how distant she is, but Krarken has probably come the closest out of all dragons to gaining her full and complete trust.
His powers though make Grace rather afraid of him. Even though she loves to be around this scienceborn, she'll often find herself starting to worry about how Kraken is like a ticking time bomb and how he has no control over his powers whatsoever. All of the other scienceborns have at least a miniscule amount of control over their powers, but not Kraken. And this is the one reason she'd try and avoid this dragon.
Nectar- Nectar is probably one of the scienceborn that Grace likes the least. She is constantly taunted by the dragoness, and Nectar keeps on trying to push Grace to the point where she becomes very angry. She never becomes angry, but she becomes extremely afraid of her. Nectar almost seems like a psychopath to her.
She hates the fact that Nectar is too ignorant to realize how she has to be careful and cautious when using her powers because of how dangerous and unpredictable they are. She hates the fact that Nectar burns things simply for her own amusement instead of actually making good use out of whatever she intends to burn. She hates the fact that Nectar takes unnecessary risks.
Despite how much she despises this dragoness though, she can appreciate Nectar's determination. They are both very straight-forward, one of the few things these two scienceborn share in common. She is aware Nectar has to have a soft side buried deep down, but until she reveals that soft side, Grace will probably never get along with Nectar.
Whyren- Grace appreciates having Whyren as her friend when the other scienceborn are introverted, don't like her, or could kill her (on purpose or on accident). Whyren's friendliness and gentleness is not something that she experiences often. She thinks he is one of the kindest scienceborn. She finds his goofiness rather silly and it cheers her up.
She thinks Whyren has a very simple mind though, and that isn't very far from the truth. She sometimes get a bit frustrated when she tries to explain something to Whyren only for him to not understand it. Though she hates to admit it to herself, she sometimes finds herself thinking of herself as superior to Whyren, and she then feels guilty about it afterwards. She tries not to act condescending around him, but sometimes it doesn't work.
To Grace, he's like a little brother almost. He is sweet and someone she cares about, but he's also someone who's innocent who constantly has to be protected and shielded, both physically and mentally, from the harshness in the world. Even if he sometimes irritates her, she'll always think of him as an honest and kind friend.
===Other Dragons===
Varla- Grace isn't sure what exactly to think of this fluffy fox Warborn. She doesn't know this dragoness very well, but she at least knows what Varla is. She can tell that Varla doesn't completely trust her, and Grace doesn't 100% trust Varla either. Then again, Grace really has a hard time trusting anybody.
She does think that this Warborn can be rather kind when she wants to be though. Even if she doesn't share a deep trust with Varla, she at least trusts her enough to try and communicate with her through her mind and let Varla see a small amount of her thoughts. These two run into each other every now and then, and even if Grace doesn't quite consider Varla a friend, she at least thinks of her as an acquaintance.
==Trivia==
"Grace is...nice. She's helpful and nice and she likes everyone. And...um....did I mention she's nice?"
~Whyren
*Grace does not require "sun time" like other RainWings do.
**This is most likely because of her NightWing DNA.
*Ever since Grace escaped the lab with the other scienceborn, she's been avoiding eating meat whenever she can. Sometimes she has to when no edible plants are available, but she hates doing it because her powers cause her to have more respect for animals than the average dragon.
*Since Grace is so frail, she rarely uses her prehensile tail for anything other than balance. She is too weak to be able to hang from it or anything like that, but she can pick up small objects with it.
*Grace's favorite color is green because it reminds her of the beauty of life.
*She is right-handed.
*Grace has a slight phobia of blood.
