Grace Roberts



Age: 7, appears to be around 24.

Race: For the most part human, with some vampire and zombie DNA strands.

Nationality: British/American dual national

Occupation: Keeper for the Guardians

Allegiance: Guardians

Appearance: Standing at 5’7, Grace has a willowy body which she has never been able to fill and at times has been a little too thin. With her increased regenerative abilities, she’s incredibly fit and agile. She’s never found in anything but black jeans and a t-shirt with practical boots or trainers.

She’s the image of her mother and has been since a small child with matching long dark hair and a pale complexion. The key difference being her father’s stamp on an otherwise Anna dominated picture: ice blue eyes which can deconstruct a person just by glancing in their direction and give nothing away.

Personality: Grace has always been more comfortable around the creatures and animals she grew up with than other humans. With them she never had to hide her true nature and pretend to be something she wasn’t. To strangers she’s a very guarded woman and this doesn’t abate quickly. Although intelligent with facts and figures, she’s still emotionally immature which comes out in tantrums and eruptions of anger.

History: Grace has walked a unique path in life. Born by emergency caesarean in the operating theatre of her mother’s medical department, her early arrival was the result of an accident in Anna’s lab. In order to cure her father, an American soldier on secondment to the DPA, Anna had to create a risky, last resort cure which involved melding together vampire and zombie genetics to make a regenerative serum which would purge the biological weapon from his system. After a violent reaction, a small, unintentional cut to Anna’s finger was enough to infect herself and the powerful antidote had immediately took hold her seven months pregnant body.

The result of this would scar the family forever. The umbilical cord absorbed the experimental, unrefined serum and fed it straight to Grace’s own system which absorbed it. This resulted in accelerated growth which stopped when she reached about eighteen, a capacity to remember details and take on the vampire’s ability to regenerate. It is unknown how long her lifespan will be.

Grace’s first years were spent in the DPA field office in the Brecon Beacons where the military arm of the organisation trained and housed their troops while scientists researched and creatures where kept. It was a fun childhood, as short as it was, for she spent her time helping the keepers feed the inmates from pygmy dragons to shapeshifters. For exercise she was allowed to tag along with the soldiers on their runs through the expansive countryside.

About a year after her birth her father, Sam Jansson, went missing on a mission to infiltrate a vampire base. He’s presumed dead although there is no evidence. This has left a whole in the woman’s life because she was very close to her father while her mother spent hours searching for answers to Grace’s condition while refining the cure for him.

As tensions rose between the government and the vampires, Anna became disillusioned with the current human way of thinking and so met with the founder of the Guardians and offered her services. Grace was immediately struck by this organisation, it was a place where she could be herself and with her experience of caring for dozens of species, her knowledge is a valuable asset.
