**Behind her name:** Katie planned on giving her daughter up for adoption which meant she wouldn't get to name her. So, Katie hadn't thought of any names for her daughter. The plan changed last minute when the adoptive parents backed out of the adoption just a week before Katie gave birth. This left Katie with two options, put her daughter in the system, and hope she finds a family or keeping her daughter. Katie couldn't bear giving her daughter up to the system and decided to keep her, which meant she had to come up with a name on the spot. While looking at her daughter, Katie thought the name Gracie fit her perfectly. For her middle name, Katie chose a name representing something she believed in and wanted for the world - Peace. Gracie's birth name is Gracie Peace Rice, but she took her husband's last name when they married.

**Childhood:** Gracie was always said to look two years smaller than she was, up until the age of thirteen. At birth, Gracie weighed just five pounds and was 16.9 inches.

Gracie was babied

    a lot while growing up and she was very attached to her mother. When she started kindergarten at the age of four, Gracie threw a fit when learning her mother wasn't staying with her. Gracie always found it hard to be away from her mother and didn't like having to share her. So, when her mother got a new boyfriend, Gracie felt threatened by the man's daughter whenever Katie would pay attention to her. Eventually, Gracie realized it was time to let go of her mother a little and become more independent.

During one Christmas, Gracie had really wanted this doll her mother couldn't afford. She told her friend Shawn about it and he ended up buying her the doll using his allowance and Christmas money asked to have early. Gracie was very happy and appreciative.

As a kid, Gracie was a complete sweetheart and very innocent. She never stepped out of line and was a friend to everyone. She was very sensitive and untrusting towards strangers.

    As a teenager, Gracie completely changed.  After getting her first boyfriend, Gracie became sexually active and disobedient. She would sneak her boyfriend into her room at night, and she believed she was all grown up. She went behind her mother's back on several occasions and didn't respect her mother's rules.

**Love life:** Gracie only had one real relationship. In high school, Gracie had feelings for a bad-boy. Her friends didn't approve and tried to talk Gracie out of dating him. Gracie wouldn't listen and insisted she could take care of herself. She went on one date with this guy. Gracie thought they were just going to the mall to see a movie. However, the guy brought her to a store and tried using her purse to steal things. Gracie refused to help him and called her mother in tears to come pick her up.

Gracie's only real relationship was with Ben Sanders. Gracie and Ben met as children when they were attending the same magic academy. One Valentine's day in their early teens, Gracie mentioned to Ben that she wanted to get her first kiss over with. Ben offered to kiss her and Gracie agreed. After the kiss, Gracie took things further by asking Ben if they could sleep together. Gracie was still a virgin at this time and didn't know Ben wasn't. Ben had promised Jessie to never reveal to any of their friends about their hook up, so Ben didn't tell Gracie he wasn't a virgin. He agreed to sleep with her though was very surprised and unsure when Gracie had asked. A month later, Gracie was showing some signs of pregnancy and told Ben. She took a pregnancy test which revealed she wasn't pregnant, this brought a huge sense of relief to them both. Ben started realizing he had feelings for Gracie but didn't know how to tell her. He kissed her a few times only to erase her memory of it afterward scared of how she'd react. However, Gracie found out about his feelings after Ben's memory magic failed. Gracie pretended she didn't remember the kiss as she evaluated her own feelings. Through high school, they went back and forth between deciding to date and deciding to wait. originally, they planned on waiting until graduation night before having sex again but this didn't last. On their graduation night, Ben proposed to Gracie and accepted. They got married sometime between the years 2025 - 2029.

**Motherhood:** Gracie is the mother of five children in total. She has two sons: Jackson and Axel, and she has three daughters: Davie, Molly, and Dixie. It isn't well known how Gracie chose to parent her children or what kind of mother she was seeing as we didn't see a whole lot of her during the time she was raising them. We do know she loves her children very much and was always excited each time she learned she was pregnant. Giving Gracie's loving patient and understand personality, it's safe to assume she raised her kids with love and patience.

**Personality:** Gracie was nothing short of adorable. She was an absolute sweetheart and rather shy. Gracie was highly sensitive and may have had some self-esteem issues. Gracie was playful and friendly but not easy to befriend because she was cautious and usually untrusting towards strangers. She also appeared to be a good judge of character. In her teenage years, Gracie became disobedient and way more independent after losing her virginity and becoming sexually active. During this time she was also quite secretive with her mother, and she believed she was all grown up.

**Gracie's magic training**

In September 2016, Gracie, age 10 - 11, was a first-year witch in training. She was given Luke Archer as her guardian and Shawn Rueda as her teammate. Gracie always tried her best and got good grades, however, she didn't recognize her hard work and potential because of one mean girl putting negative thoughts in her head. Gracie was also a very powerful witch.
