Gracie Mondragon

Gracie Benali was born into a family of six; parents Darius and Danna, and siblings Iliana, Alton and Shaun. Iliana and Gracie were very alike and grew up as peas in a pod. Gracie took an interest in fame and fell into the public eye in her late teens. The media caught on when she married Carlos and gave birth to Matty, just before Carlos divorced her for another woman, with whom he fathered two more kids Dean and Daniella. Gracie travelled around with Matty for a few years until she met Darren Mondragon and married him. Matty was thereafter surnamed Mondragon. Years later, Gracie moved into the Roswell household in StrangerVille with Darren and Matty, where Jasper Roswell murdered Toby Talla and Katarina Mondragon died of old age, something which Gracie helped Darren come to terms with. Gracie later gave birth to Declan Mondragon. When Darren's grandfather in San Myshuno fell ill, Gracie, Darren and Tanya moved in with him until his death. It happened to be the same apartment the Benali family had been living in for years and Gracie developed a huge interest in her family's heritage. She learnt about how her great-great grandfather Salim Benali died in a fire in that very apartment, in front of his wife and children. Gracie said goodbye to mother-in-law Tanya as she died of old age. Gracie kept a huge fascination into her family heritage and stayed in the Benali house until her death.
