Grace had a daughter named Kiri through her avatar. She died at age 50/51 but remains with Eywa, while her comatose avatar continues to live among the Na'vi. Sigourney Weaver portrayed Grace in James Cameron's Avatar: The Game. Grace Augustine was a scientist in the Avatar Program on Pandora. She initially resisted accepting Jake Sully into the program, but later allowed him to join due to necessity. After their initial meeting, Jake's avatar was taken in by the Omatikaya clan, leading to improved relations between them and Grace's team. However, when Colonel Quaritch destroyed Hometree and attacked Grace during an escape attempt, she died before her consciousness could be transferred into her avatar form. Grace Augustine, a botanist and prodigy, arrived on Pandora in 2124. She was passionate about exploring the unique plants of Pandora and eventually became intrigued by the Na'vi culture.

They agree on a schoolhouse idea. However, the next day, Grace is denied entry to Hometree as the children fell ill with an unknown sickness after their visit. Parker Selfridge suggests this illness could solve RDA's issues with Na'vi interference, shocking Grace. Grace is disgusted by Selfridge's attitude towards Na'vi suffering. Despite protests, Grace delivers medicine to the Omatikaya but falls ill too. She seeks help from the Tawkami clan and a botanist named Mireya agrees to investigate a treatment with Mo'at. Upon returning, Grace learns about an issue with other avatars and calls for quarantine while considering that their sickness may be due to deprivation rather than overexposure. Grace and her team searched Hell's Gate for the cause of Na'vi illness, finding a black oily liquid. They discovered that it seeped into water sources, contaminating plants and animals.
