Grace Augustine

Grace, born in 2104, is a skeptical scientist who objectively studies everything. She doesn't believe in miracles or fairytales but cares deeply for Pandora and the Na'vi. Despite being human, she remains loyal to them and uses her avatar body to explore Pandora due to its resistance against high carbon dioxide levels. (In avatar form) Skin - Blue with darker blue stripes. Height - likely 8'11" - 272cm. Eye colour - yellow. Dr. Grace Augustine, a renowned xenobotanist, led the RDA AVTR program on Pandora and tried to forge bonds between humans and Na'vi. She ran a school for Na'vi children but was guilt-ridden after an incident where one of them died due to bulldozer fire and subsequent shooting at the schoolhouse. The forest Na'vi has blue skin with darker stripes, a slim tail, feline features, and a neural whip. Grace had few friends on Pandora like Max Patel who helped her escape from RDA imprisonment before becoming a spy in Hell's Gate. Norm Spellman admired Grace and helped her transfer consciousness to an avatar, but it failed. Mo'at, a Na'vi ally of Grace, respected her knowledge-seeking intentions and allowed her back into the village after Jake's progress as a warrior. When Grace died, Mo'at expressed sadness for both the loss and Jake's grief. Jake Sully: When Jake Sully first arrived on Pandora, Grace was rather hostile and rude towards him as she needed Jake's twin brother Tom who was killed by a mugger and therefore replaced by Jake. She also made a few condescending remarks about his intelligence, such as saying clearing his mind shouldn't be too hard for him, and calling him a jarhead dropout and numbnuts. She was also harsh and perhaps insensitive on him at times, despite that he was paraplegic and had lost a brother.

When Jake was adopted by the Omatikaya clan, her attitude soon changed towards him as Jake learned the ways of the Na'vi from Neytiri. Through Jake, Grace was allowed back into Hometree by Mo'at. As time went on, Grace and Jake formed a close friendship, and Grace opened up to him and began to respect him, viewing him like an equal ally. When Grace died during the consciousness transfer, Jake was distraught by her death.

Parker Selfridge: Parker Selfridge is the head of the RDA. His views are the complete opposite of Grace's, which causes many clashes between the two. When Jake first comes to Pandora, she takes it as an insult from him. She is upset when Parker uses Jake as a resource for getting Na'vi information as well as when he refers to the Omatikaya clan as "fly-bitten savages that live in a tree."

Miles Quaritch: Grace has similar feelings towards Colonel Quaritch as she does towards Parker. Unlike most people, she isn't afraid to stand up to the Colonel as proven when she talks back to him. Quaritch eventually shoots Grace during the avatar team's escape from Hell's Gate, which eventually leads to her death.
