Childhood/Family Life:
Mickey Drexler, Father, Age 68 | Peggy Drexler, Mother, Age 57 | Andrew Drexler, Brother, Age 20
Mickey Drexler, CEO of J. Crew and director at Apple, and Dr. Peggy Drexler, Cornell psychology professor, never planned on having children. They were both career driven individuals who loved each other, but didn't think they would have time to raise a family. She was in her late thirties and he in his late forties when they married and they remained a happy couple for seven years before finding out that Peggy was pregnant. Not only was she pregnant, but pregnant with twins! While the news was shocking, the couple decided to take on the challenge and nine months later, welcomed Andrew Brody Drexler and Grace Margaret Drexler into the world.
Mickey and Peggy loved their children dearly, but their arrival didn't change the fact that both adults had major careers to focus on. Like many other Upper East Side children, Grace and Andrew were primarily raised by nannies. For most of her childhood, Grace didn't mind it. She was given everything she wanted and more, and by being involved in various extracurricular activities and a topnotch school, she rarely noticed her parents' absence. However, as she grew into her teenage years, her mother's distance became more apparent. She didn't have a maternal figure to rely on indefinitely and the surplus of clothes and items that her parents used to fill that void was no longer cutting it. Andrew went off to a boarding school a few states away around this time as well, so Grace took it upon herself to make her friends her family. Most girls have best friends, but Grace's girls became like sisters to her. She took on the position of the leader of their friend group and essentially ruled the private high school they attended together. She truly loved the girls but to some, it might not have seemed that way. The lack of nurturing that she received from her own parents combined with how always got her way, caused her to become a bit cold and distant. She struggled to put anyone's needs or desires before her own and as most liked to say, she was a "total bitch". However, her position of social authority allowed her to remain at the top until she graduated the preparatory school.
Fulton University was her top pick, although her parents insisted she attend Brown University. The cold weather had never been for her and the promise of a strong Greek presence at Fulton captivated her. The only way she had gotten through high school was by developing close bonds with her friends, so she knew it was essential for her to join the Greek life in college.

Quirks//Habits//Oddities:
When she feels cornered or attacked, she tends to throw other people under the bus. For example, if she's confronted about gossiping about one of her friends, she won't hesitate to claim that someone else was the one who started the conversation and said even worse things about the person.
She has been getting a mani/pedi done twice a week for the past eight years and since moving to Miami, only goes to one specific salon.
She refuses to take medication for anything, unless she's in the hospital or in extreme pain. Even her worst hangovers weren't enough to push her to take an Aspirin. There's no real reason behind it, besides her desire to be "all-natural" (even though she's far from that).
Shopping has become therapeutic for her and she often spends thousands of dollars a month on clothes she'll never wear.
She looks people up and down whenever they approach her. It's easy to read her face when she doesn't like you.
Her bedroom is always very cold. She hates being hot when she's sleeping.
Good personality traits:
Vocal, Passionate, Social, Eager, Bold
Bad personality traits:
Unforgiving, Dramatic, Demanding, Entitled, Critical
Personality:
Grace fits in well with the stereotypical image associated with the Alpha Theta Pi girls. She was raised with everything she wanted at her fingertips, and she never entirely grew out of that bratty and entitled state of mind. Whether it's a boy or a new dress, if Grace wants it, she's going to do whatever she needs to do to get it. Some see her belief that she can get anything she wants to be delusional, especially as she's growing older, but she just sees it as being determined. If for some reason things don't work out in her favor, you can expect a dramatic and often ruthless response from her. She won't hesitate to spread nasty rumors about people and do all she can to slaughter their reputation. However, she would never engage in a physical altercation with someone and additionally, she isn't one for verbal fights with girls. She's the type of person who doesn't like to get mad, but get even instead. One of the major flaws that her friends see is how territorial she can be. She's known for taking offense offense to someone flirting with a guy she's dated, slept with, or even just has an unannounced crush on. Demanding, high-maintenance and judgmental all describe her character well. She isn't ashamed to admit that she's a bitch, but in her own defense, a lot of her negative traits are there because she's scared to let her guard down. She puts up a strong front so that no one can come too close and hurt her.
On the contrary, Grace has positive character traits as well. She has a strong voice and isn't afraid to speak her mind and opinions. She excels at public speaking, leading others and taking charge on group projects when she's feeling motivated. She's usually a fun person to be around and enjoys partying, dancing and hanging out with her friends. Recently, she decided that she needs to be more spontaneous, so she's hoping to travel more and go on little adventures this year. Behind closed curtains she may not seem it, but when in public, Grace has poise and control. She knows when to speak and when to keep her mouth shut, when to be polite and how to say things to make people like her. It may not be the true her, but she learned from her parents that her public image is important and even if she's just acting, she needs to maintain it.
Greatest joys in life:
What makes your character happy? Is it food? Family? Friends? Money? At least four.
Greatest fears:
Many of Grace's fears involve her love life. She's scared of never finding "the one", being cheated on, and getting a divorce.
Life philosophy:
"Be brave. Take risks. Nothing can substitute experience."
—Paulo Coelho

Thoughts on Greek Life:
Since high school, Grace knew that she wanted to be involved in Greek life and once she began researching Fulton's sororities, she knew Alpha Theta Pi was where she needed to be. She loves her sorority but is definitely not innocent of the backstabbing and bitchiness that her house is known for, and is actually probably one of the best at the vindictive behavior. When Elysia graduates, Grace is convinced that she will be the next President of Alpha Theta Pi. She doesn't care very much about the other sororities, unless they cross her or one of the other girls. If any of them were relevant, they would have been put in Alpha Theta Pi, and since they weren't she doesn't deem them to be very important. Similarly, she usually only spends her time trying to get to know the Beta Gamma Omega boys.
Plans for after college:
If everything worked in her favor, Grace would love to return to New York with a serious boyfriend. They would buy a cute apartment uptown, get engaged and a year later, get married. She doesn't plan on working for a living but will probably work for J. Crew just "for fun" until she has children.
