Name: Grace Illuminati Race: Human Gender: Female Age: 23 Appearance: Long reddish gold hair that she keeps braided halfway down her back, soft blue eyes. She has a slight but tall build, with muscular arms and legs from working on her family's farm growing up. However she lost most of her childhood tan from recent years working in the city. When not wearing her city official uniform, she wears light tunics in grays whites and blues. Has a peaceful look on her face most of the time, and rarely breaks that tranquil atmosphere. Personality: Shes calm and patient, thinking through something carefully and looking at it from all sides before doing something she might regret. In the past she leapt right in, and greeted everyone she met with a wide open heart and no thought whatsoever that she would be rejected, hurt, or lied to.
But as she grew that changed, people she trusted turned on her, and broke her emotinally in places that are still trying to heal. But the Light within is still alive, she still cares for people and will not hesitate to help someone in need, the only change is she is more wary of strangers and opening her heart completely. Her only fear is that the people she cares about will leave her, she hates to be alone. She is the type that refuses to give up on something she believes in, even if it seems hopeless, some might even call her stubborn to a fault. History: When she was only 10 years old, her mother tried to sell her into a band of slavers that were travelling the countryside in those days. Their family was large and poor, the crops had been bad that year, and her mother had in some twisted way figured that the oldest daughter would be honored to help the rest of the family survive by sacrificing herself.
But when her father learned of this he put an end to it immediately and cast her mother out of the house. Grace never knew what became of her mother after that, and to anyone who asks she tells them her mother is dead. As she grew up she began to realise she had a knack for leadership and speaking to people, as she grew up as the oldest in her family she often led her younger siblings on litle 'adventures' through the countryside. So when she turned 17 she travelled to the nearest town to live with some relatives, and work her way to going to school there. Her family was too poor to afford paying for it, so she got a job at a local kitchen cafe, the money from which she used to go to school. After a few years of studying she became a minor city official in the town, and as such has become aware of the city's deterioration over time.
Crime was up and so were suicides and other deaths. Divorce was high as well, and less children were being born. She sees this, but doesnt understand what is happening exactly and why. But that didnt stop her from making it her mission to make things right. Talents: Shes good at speaking and reasoning with people, and good at being a beacon of leadership for those around her that are lost, even if she is lost herself. Her problems are on the back burner always until shes satisfied she helped everyone she could. Shes strong and determined, but if she is forced to bear too much pressure, she is liable to break down having held in too much. She has a strong spirit but it is not invincible.
