## Biographical information

### Status

Active

**Grandma Gianna** is an old female Griffon from Griffinstone and Grandpa Garvey's wife. She's also the grandmother of Grady and his siblings, and mother of her grandkids' father and aunt. She's indeed friends with her husband's friends and has good terms with all of them, as well as their own wives.

## Personality

Grandma Gianna is rather energetic despite her age, and sympathetic, but also rather unintelligent and absent. She often forgets many little things (ex. how zippers work), sometimes even her own marriage. She's also cross-eyed, which results in her being very clumsy at times. Usually, she is just following her husband's lead for almost everything. However, there are moments when it shows that she's actually smart and strict, like scolding and pulling Grandpa Garvey by the ear when she catches him making fun of Gallus and Grandpa Gruff. She also shows to be very confident and a clever trickster, yet very bubbly and spontaneous. During other environments, she often ends up distracted by things like food or flowers.

Ironically, Gianna is aware of her fairly limited intelligence, and though usually self-loving, she does not always enjoy being goofy.

## Relationships

### **Grandpa Garvey**

Gianna thinks of her husband as an intelligent and reliable spouse, while Garvey thinks of his wife as a dimwitted but lovable spouse. He describes her personality as carefree, bubbly, and gentle, declaring that even though she can be annoying, she's just too kind to not like and that, even though he doesn't say that a lot, there's no point in him doing anything without her by his side. In fact, she's rarely seen without him. The two face many problems as an old married couple but nevertheless, they love and care for each other. Grandma Gianna is also one of the few Griffons Garvey expresses his feelings to the most (one of the reasons being that his wife doesn't understand much of his ranting). The two also have weekly tea time together, where they sit on clouds and enjoy tea and chocolate-covered-strawberries, which they see as a way of showing how much they enjoy each other's company.

### **Grady**

At first, Grandma Giana’s relationship with her grandson was rather neutral. Grady doesn’t really like it when she hugs him and, much like his grandfather, often gets annoyed by her silliness. Despite this, he loves her and is grateful that she packs him lunch every once in a while, since his mother can’t. It is likely that Grady and has a normal relationship with Grandma Gianna like any grandmother and grandson would have.

### **Her other grandkids**

Gianna loves all of her grandchildren the same and is very caring towards them.

### **Gallus and Grandpa Gruff**

Grandma Gianna seems to be in good terms with Gallus and Grandpa Gruff, despite her husband and his friends' rivalry with Gruff, and her grandson and his friends' rivalry with Gallus. She always scolds Garvey when she catches him making fun of them and apologises on his behalf.

## Skills

### **Strength**

Although it's not very clear at first glance, Grandma Gianna possesses incredible physical strength, which is mostly shown when she crashes her husband in tight hugs, or when she pulls him by the ear.

### **Cooking**

Grandma Gianna is a good cook. Sometimes, she makes food that looks awful, but it always tastes good.
