## Biographical information

### Status

Active

**Grainne** is a young adult female Griffon from Griffinstone and one of the town's star athletes and Griffinstone representatives at the Equestria Games, along with Giselle, Gaston, and many other Griffons. She's one of Grandpa Gruff's foster grandchildren.

## Personality

Grainne is nearly the complete OPPOSITE of Giselle and Gaston as she isn't much of a good flier, and was extremely anxious and insecure, especially during her training, even more than Gilda, which would occasionally worry Grandpa Gruff. Her training wasn't as extreme as Giselle and Gaston's as it simply involved regular training like flying through moving rings, wings-ups, and eating while flying. This helped in lifting up her spirits and getting over her doubts… For the most part.

Grainne often panics and overreacts; when she does, she hyperventilates into a paper bag that she carries with her at all times.

## Appearance

Grainne has light violetish-grey fur, white headfeathers, and black beak, talons, wings, markings around her eyes and her chest. She also has two-tufted ears and a small fringe.

## Relationships

### **Giselle and Gaston**

The relationship between the trio had always been rather rocky. Or at least, it had always been rocky for the first few weeks after the trio first met as cubs, especially for Grainne. Gaston and Giselle hit it off in a second, but Grainne… Was not as lucky. As cubs, Giselle and Gaston loved bragging about their prowess as flyers and rubbing their fantastic flying skills in her face, as well as all their other successes, much to Grainne's constant irritation. Grandpa Gruff would always scold them for that, but he knew their wings were as high in the air as their heads. The three Griffons would often pull pranks on each other, though, being the youngest of the trio, Grainne received the biggest amount of them. At first, they saw it as friendly ribbing, but after they grew up a little, Giselle and Gaston started acting a bit nicer and more protective towards Grainne, yet also playing harmless pranks on her. While Grainne seems unimpressed with their attempts at reconciliation, she has shown to care about her two friends, who assist her in learning new flying techniques. There's always a certain tension between the three Griffons, and it could be safely assumed that they make good adoptive siblings. They don't hate each other, despite seemingly acting like it, and have their warm moments. Undoubtedly, the members of this trio are inseparable and have each other's backs 24/7! Grandpa Gruff was worried they'd become nemeses once they laid eyes upon each other, but this was one of the few times he was glad to be proven wrong.

### **Grandpa Gruff**

Grainne generally interacts positively with Grandpa Gruff and is grateful for his consideration and for standing up for her when her teammates would rub their flying skills in her face.

## Skills

### **Flight**

Despite the fact that she's a bit behind on her wing power and not as experienced as her teammates, she's generally pretty good at flying.
