Because of this, Grace was usually alone. Additionally, due to their status, her parents hired various assistants to watch her rather than spend time with her personally. Her parents were all about "learning from the best" and always put her in private classes. She values honesty and compassion, and is dedicated to improving herself and others.īefore boarding the Infinity Train, Grace grew up in a wealthy family. After confronting her own guilt and fear inside of her tape, Grace became actively kind toward denizens, and gains the courage and self-confidence she needs to confront Simon, as well as admit her own failings to the Apex. After Tuba's death and discovering the truth about Hazel and Amelia, Grace realizes she was wrong, but is still too afraid of losing Simon and the Apex to act on it. She becomes protective toward Hazel, and shows sympathy toward Tuba before her death. Despite her manipulation of others, Grace believed what she claimed about the train, scolding Simon for calling Jesse weak after his exit and being distressed when her number began to fall.ĭuring Book 3, Grace's fears resurface as she explores the train for herself as an adult, away from the bubble she'd formed in the Apex. When One-One regained control of the train, Grace viewed it as a hostile takeover, and believed the renewed efforts to get passengers' numbers down were an attack on the Apex. She manipulated and controlled others to keep them from leaving her, and rebelliously raided train cars following what she perceived as instructions from the conductor.
The longer she spent with Simon, and eventually the Apex, the more she leaned into that belief, as she was afraid of being seen as weak, disappointing others, and ultimately being left alone. When Grace met Simon for the first time, she told him that the train was scary and claimed to have a high number because she was "good at the train". Her difficulty making friends or bonding with her family may have carried over to the train, as she was never shown or referenced to have bonded with any denizens before her encounter with Amelia and the Steward in the Pumpkin Car. She's shown to be manipulative as a defense mechanism, stirring up a fight between the girls who laugh at her for being alone. Her hair is tied back using a headpiece with three orange feathers, she wears a yellow choker with a white diamond, and keeps her earrings and opera gloves.Īs of " The New Apex", she has erased her Apex mark.Īs a child, Grace was extremely isolated and lonely because of her parents' focus on private education and had a hard time forming positive relationships. In " The Debutante Ball Car", Grace wears a puffy-sleeved ball gown with the same color scheme as her usual outfit. Her "The Lucky Cat Car" disguise consists of a black robe, a yellow mask (lost in "The Musical Car"), and grayish purple opera gloves, one of which hides her number. She wears grayish purple shorts, gold earrings that resemble upside-down exclamation marks, a green fanny pack, purple knee-pads and pale red sneakers.
Clipped onto both of her shirt's sleeves are two shoplifting tags. Her outfit consists a pale salmon top with a red and purple triangle pattern on the trim of the sleeves over a purple tank top. Like all members of the Apex, she has a red sine wave painted across her face in lipstick. As a child she had chest length straight hair, but once she got on the train, she cut it short and had it done in locks. Grace is a young African-American woman with short dark hair.
