xxAppearance:
Grace is small, petite girl; girl meaning she still looks a child. Wide, doe-like brown eyes do little to help. Standing at 5'4, her body lacks any muscle and her pale skin gives her a doll like appearance. Brown hair with reddish orange tones comes out in waves. Grace keeps it in a braid; down during special occasions. Her freckles are her most noticeable feature, something her group love to point out. Due to her implant upgrades, Grace has reddish orange veins on different parts of her body. Around her ears, the veins spiral around her ears, starting at the tragus. The other veins are on her hands form intricate patterns. Grace isn't fond of them and has taken to covering them up. She lets whips of her hair fall around her ears since they help to camouflage the veins.
Living on a garbage planet, Grace's clothing choices is limited. She misses bright colored clothing back on earth. Big shirts and hoodies are her go to choices, but alien clothing is easier to find. Grace is always seen wearing a pair of fingerless gloves to cover the veins covering her hands. In her ears, you'll find a pair of makeshift earring aids to protect her sensitive ears.
xxPersonality:
Shy and sweet, Grace has been dubbed the 'cinnamon roll' of the group. She's similar to a child in a strange, new area. She wants to explore and get to now the others, but lacks the courage to make the first move. She stays towards the back among the group, not wanting to be the center of attention. Being around too many people makes her worry since she's used to being alone. Despite her loner tendencies, she has kind heart and is always willing to help others. Grace is the first to volunteer for any kind of mission and does her best to be an asset for the group.
Behind her 'pure' façade, she carries trauma like the rest of the team. Past events on earth and the ones left behind are a source of pain. Her happy exterior makes it less noticeable, but she's never been good at hiding her feelings. Grace is a 'wear your heart on your sleeve' type, something she wishes she wasn't. The trauma has left her vulnerable to bad decisions. She's prone to reckless as a way of coping; she feels powerful and in control when she does such. She regrets it immediately following, but the initial thrill is addicting. Her biggest weakness is doing the morally right thing. Her morals align with the laws of her previous planet. Grace wants to save everyone even if it's impossible. She lacks a sense of self-preservation and it outs herself, and her team, at risk.
Abandoned outside a police station as a baby, Grace's childhood was unstable. The rookie cop that found her took care of her when he found her, but he knew he had to take her to social services since he had no legal right to her. Before handing her over, he gave her the name Grace. She changed foster homes so often that she never understood what a family was like. Whenever she tried to have a relationship with her foster parents, she was met with anger. Violence wasn't uncommon. Grace realized she had to take care of herself young. She picked up stealing as a way to provide for herself when her foster family wouldn't.
When she turned twelve, she was moved into a new, permanent foster family. The police offer who found her, Officer Cooper, and his wife become foster parents and took Grace in. It was bittersweet. She was happy knowing she'd have a stable family, but she didn't know how to work and live with the others. The transition was difficult and there were many unhappy moments, but Officer Cooper always told her to make her own happy. It's become a mantra for her. Grace eventually became used to having a stable family. She did well in school and was fairly popular. She wasn't a 'cool kid,' but she was well liked for her kind and gentle demeanor. Of course, all of that was lost when Earth was destroyed. Grace grieved quietly for the lives lost, especially her parents, and went back to her previous ways of surviving. Now, she tries to keep the group alive any way she can.
xxImplants:
Level 5: Crafting xxx a favorite ability of Grace's and the one she's spent the most time upgrading, she has the ability to create almost anything. She can make things without having the proper items, knowing what could make a good replacement for the item. She is in charge of fixing and managing the implants of the team. The drawback is she needs to know how to build the item. Reverse engineering works too, but if she doesn't know how to make it, the item can turn into something else. Like the time she tried to build a clock, but a bomb was made instead.
Level 2: Echolocationxxx Grace has the ability to understand sound waves created by a clicking her tongue. Using the sound waves, she can determine the exact layout of a location and any life in it. The ability becomes useless in loud locations since she hasn't modified the implant to differentiate other noises.
Level 1: Telekinesis xxx her newest implant, Grace has the ability to move things with her mind. The implant is in the beginning phase so it's not very powerful. She can only move small things like a water bottle or a tool. Moving a person or large item like a couch hasn't been achieved yet. Grace also can't control how fast the object comes to her. It can come very slowly or very fast, always random.
xxStrengths:
Stealth xxx a skill Grace has been training for years, she can move quickly quietly within a space without being detected. Grace is quick on her feet and has an amazing ability to hid and blend in. She's been compared to a cat several times.
Sleight of Hand xxx another skill she's had for a long time, Grace can use her hands to manipulate objects. She's used it most for stealing, gambling and card tricks too. It's easy for her to steal a watch off of a man's wrist without him knowing.
Trusting xxx an ability her team doesn't quite understand, aliens seem to trust Grace very easily. She's the one they prefer most among the team and tend to ask for. Maybe they don't perceive her as a threat, but it's useful when working with the aliens.
Compassion xxx she is one of the kindest souls you'll ever meet. Grace is the type to give her clothes to help another or go the extra mile for no other gain than helping. She never judges and will open her arms when needed. It makes her likeable.
xxWeaknesses:
Withdrawn xxx since she was a child, she's been used to being by herself. Grace has always taken care of herself and having people around all the time is a bit uncomfortable. She often takes breathers away from the group, needing the alone time. The group found her the hardest to get to know and they still feel they don't her completely.
Skittish xxx often called the scaredy-cat, Grace is very easily frightened. She can laugh off small tricks, but real arguments and fights terrify her. She'll cry and feel the urge to flee. When directed at her, she becomes like a child. Grace has never done well with yelling directed at her, she can take it, but it leaves an emotional scar on her.
Lying xxx lying is not a skill she's bless with. Whenever she tries, no one believes her. Grace's face gives her away because she can't help a guilty expression cross her face. She still tries and has had no success.
Combat xxxno one ever taught her how to defend herself so she lacks basic combat skills. She's used to hiding instead of fighting so it's her go to escape. Grace wishes to learn, but doesn't want to ask for help.
