Grace

Please help expand the wiki by adding missing story content to this article

Grace is smart, creative, and unconventional. She is also neat, hard-working, and controlled. This means she is highly productive and driven creatively. She is able to follow through and complete creative projects with relative ease. She is very slow to believe people, especially when they relate to her ideals, and will hit people who make her uncomfortable.

She is quiet, reserved, and a thinker. She prefers to stay at home rather than go out and make friends. She has a rich inner fantasy life and is a fan of science fiction and fantasy. She is prone to eccentricity.

She prefers to work alone, though she will work with Nick, as she sees him as a role-model. Because she is organised and hard working, she tends to judge others who don't meet her standards.

She is dispassionate, blunt, and independent. She isn't a pushover and can't be taken advantage of, and her intelligence allows her to spot when people are being manipulative.

She values facts over feelings and her ability to detach herself means she has natural skills in magic and engineering. She prefers her own company and can come across as aloof because she has little interest in others.

She is emotional and anxious. Her imagination can work to amplify her fears, because she envisages all the ways in which things could go wrong.

She is hard to get to know as she is shy and sensitive. She naturally prefers to be alone or to have just one or two friends, and her tendency to be anxious and afraid makes her nervousness around people more intense.

She can be self-centred, argumentative, and stubborn, though fear drives most of her instability.

She can have some very drastic changes in personality, going from very unbelieving, to very open ( to Nick in particular ), to super shy.

Nick and Grace have huge similarities, and may as well be dimensional counterparts, though it is not mentioned.

**Details:**

Openness – Neutral. Grace is smart and creative. She is open to new experiences and tolerant of different types of people. She likes the idea of travelling to exotic places. She is quick-witted and able to think on her feet, and approaches problems from an unconventional point of view. She is an eccentric and a rebel. Her ideas can be too quirky and different and this means that she is prone to failure. She likes alternative culture and has a unique sense of style. She is interested in ideas and blurred lines. Her openness is considered neutral because of her extraversion levels.

Conscientiousness – High. Grace is neat and hard working. She pays a great deal of attention to detail. She is image-conscious and dresses in nice clothes. She looks after her diet and likes to keep healthy. She has a clean, tidy, nicely decorated home. She likes to save money and set aside for her future. She is prone to perfectionism and is her own worst critic. She is always punctual and finds it hard to take a break. She prefers clear boundaries and tends to act with consideration.

Extraversion – Low. Grace is quiet and reserved. She prefers to stay at home and read books, and is often lost in a fictional world. She likes nature and animals. She spends a lot of time thinking, so when she does talk, she usually says something interesting. While she is independent, she isn't very assertive and tends to withdraw when people cross her personal boundaries. She is happy in her own company and copes well with living alone. She gets tired easily and needs to spend time alone to recover. People can assume she is aloof or self-absorbed, though this is not always the case.

Agreeableness – Low. Grace is rarely driven by appeals to emotion. She is not very sympathetic towards others and expects people to look after themselves, as she looks after herself, though she does take time to help her friends. She can be rude, though she is easy to get along with most of the time. Sometimes she appears to be cold, and she does not go out of her way to do things for others, though she does care in her own way. She finds it easy to say no and tends to judge those who can't say no as weak. She finds it easy to stand up for herself, and rarely takes notice of public judgements. She does, however, care about how close friends feel and will scramble to clarify when she insult them.

Neuroticism – High. Grace is emotionally unstable and suffers from a lot of negative feelings. Sometimes that manifests as anger, bitterness, or resentment towards others. She does not deal well with bad news and can become vulnerable and fragile when pushed beyond her coping abilities. Her tendency to sense danger has helped her to avoid serious trouble on several occasions. She knows her physical limits and rarely goes beyond them. Though she cannot see it, Nick really helps her in this area.

Attractions – She admires agreeable people, whom she can manipulate, though she never realizes she is manipulating them. She develops torrid emotions for Nick, but she can be very manipulative of him. She uses Nick as a crutch in certain ways, and he uses her as a crutch in others.
