Grace is a Peytonite, a race of wolf-deer people, stewarded by Peyton. When she met WoeNylVal, Grace wished to become the embodiment of loyalty. It is impossible for her to betray her friends or loved ones.

Peytonites have flaps on both sides of their torsos. When they marry, they wrap the flaps around their spouses to give and take traits from their spouses. Married couples look like mirror images of each other. The husband looks like a male version of his wife and vice versa.
