Name:  Grace Taylor.
Age: 28 years. Born May 10th, 1777.
Sex: Female.

Nationality: English.
Loyalty: British.
Rank: Second Lieutenant aboard Seraphina and lateron Captain to Atlas the Xenica.

Likes: Spending time with Alicia, Atlas an Seraphina, working out and practicing hand-to-hand-combat, swimming, games, dragons, compliments about her hair and music
Dislikes: Too serious people, humorless people, condescension and patronization people (actually particular character traits it seems xD), seeing her close ones in stress, hurt or danger and inequality.

Personality: Grace is a cheerful and playful woman who always tries to see the positive side of things and is always in for some fun. She's outgoing and likes to keep herself in shape and is also an early bird. In keeping herself in shape, she practices hand-to-hand-combat skills and is able to give massages.

She can be formal but prefers informality. She would act formal when meeting new people but soon would fall into informality. She is not easily embarrassed and is confident, even a bit blunt sometimes, she says what she thinks. Besides this, she likes to tease people she cares about and gets extra playful with said people.

Apart from getting along with many different types of people, she sometimes clashes a bit with Matthew Wilson the First Lieutenant due to personality differences but they don't argue while working to positively influence the working environment.

Grace can be protective over the ones she values most, for example, Alicia. She has a deep bond and cares a lot about her and will not hesitate to protect her when needed. Be it during work or otherwise. She also enjoys to listen to Alicias singing or watching her dance. She herself is not that good at dancing, Alicia is teaching her how and in turn Grace teaches Alicia in basic hand-to-hand combat and giving massages.

Background: Grace does not come from a real Aviator family like Alicia. Her family are simple farmers for life. She is the only one of the family to serve at the Aerial Corps. Her fascination for dragons began when a Winchester courier landed close to her house and while the Winchester was waiting for her Captain to come retrieve her again, Grace started to chat with the dragoness. She was fascinated by them and the Winchester was curious and glad this child was talking to her since mostly what people do outside the Corps is run away. Grace then knew she wanted to be closer to these animals, learn from them and serve with them. So began her journey to become an Aviator. Her parents first did not like the idea and also thought it be not possible for a girl to work with Aviators but Grace did not let go of it so they gave in at the end. They let her join the Corps as an attendant and so she worked her way into service when she found out women were also serving on dragons.

She worked her way up to serving on dragons and met up with Alicia and they had chemistry and became close friends and when Alicia got Seraphina, she became her Second Lieutenant. Grace would love to get a Longwing or Xenica of her own someday but she is glad to be serving with Alicia on Seraphina for the time being. Later on, due to a case of bad luck, or in her turn good luck, she actually obtained a Xenica of her own named Atlas.

Addional information:
- Speaks fluently English but is trying to learn some French with Alicias help. She would like to learn more languages
- Can be feminime and uses her charms playfuly when she wants something
- Really likes compliments about her hair and takes good care of it

- She's ambidextrous but prefers her right hand
- Likes accesoiries like necklaces, armbraces, rings and headbands
- Is bi-sexual but leans a bit more towards females
- Favorite color is sunset orange
- Has pretty good reflexes due her practise in hand-to-hand-combat
- Isn't getting angry quickly but when she does, she is pissed (though there's a difference between being just angry/annoyed or protectivly angry)

Family:
- Lewis Taylor is her father. Her father is not afraid of dragons per se but he is on edge around them.
- Iris Green is her mother. She is on edge around dragons but not really scared of them, however more than her husband.
- Stella Taylor is her younger sister which is scared of dragons.

Appearance: Grace is a pretty tall woman with a height of 1,7m/5.57 ft with red wavy hair until just under her shoulder blades and blue-green (aquamarine) eyes. Her body type is athletic and she has some muscles but still looks feminine. She has some freckles during Summer and Spring and has a lighter toned skin as for example Alicia. Her face is slim and she has an average to slightly broader mouth and her fingers are average to long.

I wanted to make an application for Grace also since I use her frequently in the Temeraire roleplay as minor character and even more so in my stories so she deserves one too :)

Haha, her birth date probably has a typo. If she was born in 1802, she would be a little young to have achieved the rank of Second Lieutenant, wouldn't she? :) Although kids do grow up fast these days :) I like that she does hand-to-hand combat, its pretty unheard of in 1805 Europe, but must be pretty useful!
