Super nice, him and Riley are besties and have known each other since high school. They also feel an attraction to each other, but more romantic and slow-burn than Kira and Mikhail, which is more mutual respect and slight admiration) Biggest dream: owning a flower shop in a quiet town with her future husband, living a simple life Darkest secret: was sexually abused between by her older cousin of three years. Hobbies: she enjoys getting her nails painted, doing her hair, and hanging out with her friends Fav. animal: just about any bird Fav. color: a deep gold Fav. food: salad, just about any Fav. drink: root beer or Coke occasionally, usually just water though Leisure activities: she prefers calming, relaxed activities that don't require a ton of effort Relationship status: single but knows she will eventually fall in love and get married. Comfort item: long calls with her older sister, they can go on for hours. Backstory: grew up in a suburban home with both of her parents making six figures a year, they often had family over. But she was taken advantage of and sexually abused by her older cousin of three years, Marcus, who was supposedly the "good kid." The only reason it stopped is because both of their parents got into an argument and they left, never to be seen by them again. She didn't tell anyone until she was older, when she told her older sister, Alexa, what happened. Grace had to practically beg Alexa not to call the cops or press charges, afraid of the shame and condemnation she thought she would receive. Alexa grudgingly agreed, but moved within ten minutes of the college to be there for Grace. Now, any time Grace has a panic attack or just feels overwhelmed, she can take a quick drive to her sister's place to talk, cry, or just chill.
