Hair color: Light green, almond-shaped
Eye color: Wavy and honey blonde, her hair falls half-way down her back. She often wears pretty hairbands with her hair in a messy bun.
Skin tone: Light
Body: Grace has got the figure of a ballet dancer, due to her years of training. She looks a lot more like her mother than her father and people often don't recognise her as the older sister of Alice and Rosa, but this doesn't bother her much.
Face claim: Dianna Agron
Picture: weheartit.com/entry/6175279
Scars: N/A
Piercings: Her ears are pierced once, but that's all.
Tattoos: N/A
Other: N/A
Personality: Grace is sweet-natured and perceptive, but she's also somewhat of a pushover. She likes to help people and tries not to judge people too much.
She's eternally optimistic and she's always more out of her shell when she's with people she knows and trusts. If you pass her in the halls, chances are that she'll be smiling or laughing.
Grace considers herself to be an almost squib due to her very poor magic skills. She's an active participant in class and tries her hardest, but when exams come up, she's usually a complete mess. She doesn't handle well under pressure and usually just gives up if she thinks something too hard.
She's always got her head stuck in the clouds and believes in love at first sight - she's a hopeless romantic. She blushes around most boys and usually ends up stuttering and feeling awkward around them, much to many people's amusement.
She is ridiculously naive - she doesn't pick up on a lot innuendo, but when she does, she feels unsure what to do so. She hates swearing with every fibre of her being. She'll usually slap you on the arm and chide you if you do so - she's the motherly type.
Despite contrary belief, some things do get on her nerves such as people who mock her and her dreams. She doesn't like being told she can't do things.
Grace hopes to make it to Broadway one day as she has a passion for dancing, singing and acting. It's her dream and all she's ever wanted. Nobody will stop her.
Likes: Dancing, singing, acting, music that moves her, watching old muggle movies, boys, playing with her bracelet, people playing with her hair, cuddles, romantic scenes.
Dislikes: Getting mocked, being told she can't do something, her magic skills, swearing, being so nervous around boys, exams, pressure, fights, tying ties - she's useless at it.
Strengths: Grace will always be that person you can rely on and when it comes to her dreams, she refuses to let anything get in her way.
Weaknesses/Flaws/Vices: Grace is more common sense smart than exam-smart. She's a very emotional person and easily frustrated.

Background: For the first four years of her life, Grace was an only child and her life was completely peaceful - then came the twins, Rosa and Alice. Grace didn't particularly mind them intruding on her life, like most would, because she spent a lot of time to herself, caught up in dreams and imaginary worlds.
When she was five, she begged her mother for dance lessons and her Mum thought it was a fantastic idea. From then on, she's been dancing. A few years later, she decided to join a drama class and singing came by naturally.
Her first signs of magic came when she was nine, much to her parents relief, but she never excelled in the magical world which bothers her but she's learning to deal with it.
