you are ashen like love
The girl known as Dreams of Forgotten Grace has no idea where she was born, or who her mother was: she knows that she was conceived during a dream-tryst between Makarios, the Sigil's Dreamer, and a woman who bargained away her dreams for one of his wonders. She knows that Makarios claimed her after she was born, and while her childhood was quite strange, growing up in the Demon City and raised by her strange father for some unknown purpose, she was nonetheless happy, yet quite curious about Creation, for her father had told her of the dreams of humanity, which sounded like lovely things.
When she was sixteen, Makarios allowed her to go to Creation: both to satisfy her own curiosity, and for some unknown reason of his own, most likely having to do with him attempting to expand his empire of dreams. Grace happily wandered around the Scavenger Lands for about a year or so, fulfilling what wishes for people she could.
Until, one day, she met a jaded man, in a bar, named Autumn Breeze. He was quite unhappy with his life, weary, and wished to be free. Grace sat and spoke with him for a while, and learned that his wife was gravely ill, and that no amount of medicine could help her: he loved her, but he was tired, so very tired. And she found the wife, in their home, and spoke with her. The wife was tired, so very sick, and tired of being a burden upon her husband, and she would rather die then being a burden on her husband any longer, that she would rather die now and let her husband remember her as she was, then have to see her fail and fade.
And Grace smiled, and killed her. Painlessly, as the day faded and a violet-tinted sunset spilled into the room and shimmered around her hands. Silently, she slipped from the room, and no one saw her, save for Autumn Breeze, who caught just enough of a glimpse, and that day, she earned his enmity: for she had killed his beloved wife, and he did not understand that she had sought to fulfill both their wishes, and the reason did not matter in the end.
Quietly, Grace drifted around the Scavenger Lands for several more months, granting wishes and learning to control her newfound power.
you are black like the snow
Small and delicate, with long blue hair, often worn with ribbons and hair ornaments, and strange, rainbow-shimmering iridescent eyes that she inherited from her father, the Second Circle demon Makarios, Dreams of Forgotten Grace is a lovely, somewhat eerie-looking girl, who dresses in rather lacy and beribboned dresses, and high, fancy boots. Her style of dress could best be described as "Gothic Lolita". She moves like her name, a dream of forgotten grace, strangely seductive yet all-around disturbing.
She often smiles, sweetly, yet even her smile has an edge of darkness and faint creepiness to it.
we are crimson like blood
Grace is, despite her rather unusual upbringing and parentage, a rather well-adjusted girl despite that, though she could never be called "normal". Well, as well-adjusted as a slightly-sadistic-by-Creation-standards Demon-Blooded can be, that is: she loves her father, never mind that he's a 2nd Circle demon, and doesn't set out to deliberately screw people over, it just happens a lot (slightly sadistic in that she is just a bit amused by this, but she is half a demon). She is a happy girl, if rather creepy and cheerfully amoral, who genuinely tries to grant people's true wishes (despite this, she is not at all moral): however, because of her strange upbringing, she does not fully understand the nature of people's desires, and often times, her granting those wishes is both amazingly literal, sometimes seems randomly sadistic to those who don't understand her thought process, and often bodes ill for the wisher. But she is really trying to give people what they want. Really.
