Grace very much believes that she is meant for greatness, due in part to her parents' well-meaning expectations and having two same-age siblings to compare herself with. While she sometimes struggles with making and keeping friends, she has grown much more out of her shell since her first day at Hogwarts.

Grace is a curious daydreamer, always wondering what could be next or thinking of some new way to explore Hogwarts castle. Given her past experience, she does think of herself as a type of Chosen One, if only because she doesn't want to imagine any alternatives. She is independent, though she does enjoy working with her friends when she gets the chance.

Grace respects Professors and thinks they're smart, at least most of the time. She can be frustrated by their attempts to keep her away from what they think is dangerous and what she thinks is cool. While losing house points is one of her greatest fears, she isn't afraid of doing what she thinks is right and defending her friends.

When she is older, Grace aspires to be the Minister of Magic, though mostly because she thinks the title sounds cool rather than any aspirations of leadership.
Grace is a triplet. She was born the second of three, and she has one sister, Angeline (Angie) and one brother, James (Jamie), who are both magical. She lives with her parents, who speak a mixture of French and English. Her father is a French Muggle, and her mother is a talented former Gryffindor witch employed as a Healer.

When she was seven years old and her parents thought she would be a Squib, unlike her brother and sister, who had shown magic years before, she surprised them all by turning a butterfly needle into an actual butterfly. She thought it was quite funny, and besides, she did not like needles very much anyways.

Grace came to Hogwarts nervous and a little bit shy, wondering if she would feel at home in a place that felt so large. She was able to obtain both her Potions Kit and her Herbology kit, as well as discover something hidden about Hogwarts.

Successfully tracking down and putting the Gryffindor artefact back in its spot was difficult and took up most of Grace's time outside of classes and other events, though she was certainly excited about it. Along the way, she befriended two of her fellow Gryffindors, Saoirse and Alice.

At the end of the year, Grace witnessed the battle between Issandra Glockurse and former Headmaster Dumbledore as well as attempted to fight off Glockurse's Azkaban escapees. She saw Dumbledore's death as well as the death of older student Jacob Thatcher. Unable to stop either, she began to wonder if maybe she could have done something more.

During the summer, Grace invites Saoirse over to her house, and the two girls spend most of the summer together having a generally good time, something that helps Grace forget a little of the terrifying things that happened at the end of the school year.
