Growing up in the Feywild's Summer Court, Grace found herself drawn to the mysterious exiled monk Master Shadowleaf, who had been banished for teaching forbidden shadow techniques. While other changelings used their abilities for court intrigue, Grace saw greater potential in combining shapeshifting with martial arts. Master Shadowleaf recognized her talent and trained her in secret for several years.
As one of Lev's childhood friends and occasional sparring partner, Grace was among the first to learn of his impending exile. Without hesitation, she chose to follow him through the portal to Nehwon, seeing it not as an exile but as an opportunity to put her unique combination of skills to meaningful use. Her loyalty to Lev was matched only by her belief in the importance of their mission regarding the prophesied return of dragons.
In the Twilight Covenant, Grace found her true calling leading the Emergency Response Teams, where her changeling abilities and shadow monk training proved invaluable for both stealth operations and crisis management. She maintains regular correspondence with Master Shadowleaf through secret channels, continuing to refine her techniques while building new ones suited to life in Nehwon.
**Note, any time it says Autumn Court, it should be Summer Court. I was originally creating her as Autumn but thought Summer Court felt better once I created her.**

Personal history
2978-2990: Early life in @Summer Court, showing natural talent for stealth and control of changeling abilities. Met young noble Lev during this period, becoming training partners and close friends.
2990-3015: Training years with Master Shadowleaf after discovering him in exile. Developed her unique combination of shadow monk techniques and changeling abilities while maintaining her court presence. During these years, she and Lev developed a casual intimate relationship - both understanding their positions and responsibilities meant keeping things informal and discreet.
3015-3021: Served unofficially as a protector in the Summer Court while continuing her training. Her relationship with Lev continued casually during this time, both enjoying their close friendship and physical connection without expectations or commitments. Their mutual trust and understanding made them perfect partners both in combat training and in bed.
Early 3022 (01): When Lev confided about his upcoming exile, Grace immediately decided to follow him. Their intimate relationship had never compromised their friendship or loyalty, making her choice simple - she would follow her friend, occasional lover, and prince into exile.
3022 (01- 3rd): Found out there was a small Group that intended to follow Lev., and shortly after Lev went through the Portal near Karja Tal her and the group of Lev's Friends that couldn't bare to watch the person they grown to Love vanish from their lives, besides he was their Prince banished or not. They were crucial in helping establish initial security protocols.
3022 (01-10): Instrumental in founding the The Twilight Covenant , establishing Emergency Response Teams, and setting up safe houses. While she and Lev maintain a deep friendship and trust, their intimate relationship, off and on, as they focus on their new responsibilities within the organization.
Present (10, 26, 3022): Currently focused on developing TC's emergency response capabilities while maintaining professional boundaries in her new role. Their past intimate relationship remains a fond memory that strengthens rather than complicates their current working dynamic.

Gender Identity
Being a changeling, Grace understands gender as fluid and mutable - a natural extension of her ability to change forms. However, she personally identifies strongly as female regardless of what form she takes. While she can and does assume any gender presentation needed for missions, her true self and identity remains consistently feminine. This aligns with her comfort in her default form and how she expresses herself when not actively shapeshifting for work.
Her understanding of gender is influenced by both changeling culture, which sees identity as flexible, and her years in the Feywild courts, where presentation often carried significant social weight. She respects that other races may have more fixed views of gender while maintaining her own fluid but personally feminine identity.

She respects that other races may have more fixed views of gender while maintaining her own fluid but personally feminine identity.
Sexuality
Pansexual with a demisexual lean - she's attracted to personalities and connections rather than physical forms (natural for a changeling). Forms strong emotional bonds before sexual attraction develops. Her relationship with Lev exemplifies this - their physical intimacy grew from their deep friendship and trust rather than immediate attraction. Being a changeling, physical form is seen as temporary and mutable, making emotional connections more significant than physical attributes in relationships.
