In her role as Walter Hawthorne's assistant, Grace has learned how to hold her tongue and exert a great level of patience. Though often ready to speak her mind, she knows to choose her battles wisely where her employer is concerned. This includes often overlooking the man's hypocrisy and double-standards. Outside of work, it's much easier to relax and be herself!
Personality Type:
ENFJ-A - Protagonist
History:
Grace was an only child who knew the Hawthornes from an early age. Her parents were close friends of Walter's. As such, she'd also known his kids growing up, albeit not often spending time with them as she was encouraged to make friends with other girls.
It was clear from a young age that Grace wasn't in a hurry to conform to the norm of rushing into finding a husband and having kids. Instead, she favoured education and wanted to work. After years of working as a barmaid and studying in her spare time, an opening came up five years ago as Walter's personal assistant. Although her parents warned her against it, knowing how difficult Walter could be, Grace decided to rise to the challenge.
Working for Walter was every bit of the challenge Grace anticipated. She not only had to prove herself as capable of the job and everything that was thrown her way, but she had to make sure to look good doing it. Aside from the paperwork and organising the man's schedule, she has to show up and be the pretty face to greet his associates. Despite the many negative sides to the job, Grace still enjoys it and the challenges thrown her way. She especially takes pleasure in the fact that her continued employment proves Walter wrong, and an hypocrite, where his beliefs about women being incapable are concerned.
Since starting her work for the Hawthornes, Grace has lost both of her parents. Whilst they had been something of a safety net for her where her employer was concerned, Grace remains unafraid to speak up when completely necessary.
