Bio
Grace has lived for countless ages including during the Magic ages. During this time, Magic was used daily and it was not uncommon for winged beings to fly through the skies. Grace is of the Rahtumi race and resides in the Kingdom of Empyrea. Much of Grace's history is still being revealed as Grace protects a boy named Malikai, who is the key to returning Magic to the world.
Hundreds of thousands of years go by and Grace recovers her wings somewhere between Soulfire: Dying of the Light and Soulfire Beginnings. However, it has yet to be revealed when, where, and how. Man has turned to technology and science for power, while Magic was completely forgotten. The age where Dragons roamed the skies and beings with wings that could use magic had become myths. However, on August 6, 2211 San Francisco was attacked by a giant Dragon. A couple of military aircrafts attempted to stop the Dragon, but their efforts proved to be futile as the Dragon easily disposed of them. Meanwhile, Grace was watching from afar and realizes that she has little time to lose. Grace knows that Rainier is starting to move and that she must find a boy named Malikai before Rainier does. Malikai and his friends (P.J. and Sonia) were at the Holoville Hologram arcade playing video games. All of the sudden a mysterious woman named Onyx burst through the wall, she grabs Malikai and jumps out of the window. Onyx then reveals her wings and they fly off, however Malikai struggles and forces Onyx to drop him. Malikai crashes down into an alley where he becomes blinded by a light. His eyes finally focus and he sees Grace on a motorcycle. Grace quickly explains to him that he needs to come with her or die. Malikai was scared and confused so he decided to run. However, Grace would not allow him to die and decided to just drag him with her. Onyx began chasing them and Grace continued on to a bridge under construction. She decides to jump it and her motorcycle turns into a glider. While Malikai was contacting his friends, Grace is attacked by Onyx and the two fall into the subway. Onyx tells Grace not to interfere again or die, Grace then reveals her wings and tells Onyx to never again threaten her.
Onyx decides to engage Grace anyway. Onyx tries to slash Grace with her blades, but Grace was able to avoid them. Grace then counters Onyx by using her wings to bat her away. Onyx then remembers who Grace actually is, and begins to explain that her mission was not to fight a Goddess. Grace shoots a Magic burst at Onyx but it was too late, she was already gone. However, Grace was able to confirm that Rainier was truly behind this, and that he knew about the boy already. Meanwhile, Malikai crash lands Grace’s vehicle, the glider, and was able to regroup with his friends. Grace arrives shortly after her battle with Onyx. P.J. threatens Grace and tells her to stay away from Malikai, but her patience had begun to grow short. She tells them that there are very powerful people looking for Malikai, and that they will eventually find him. She tells him that many people will die once Malikai is dead himself. However, the three of them could only laugh at Grace’s claims. It angered her that they were laughing and so she unfolds her wings to prove that she is not joking. She tells them that she has to take Malikai to Hawaii. There, he will meet the first of the Masters that will teach him to harness his powers. Malikai decides to talk it over with his friends and Grace allows it. They decide that since it is Hawaii, they might as well go. They agree with Grace as long as P.J. and Sonia are allowed to go. With the Dragon’s recent attacks, the four of them cannot fly to Hawaii. They would have to search for alternate transportation.
They decide to use Sonia’s car to drive out of the city. However, there was a massive traffic jam due to the emergency evacuation. Meanwhile, Rainier hires a man named Mr. Abel to track down the boy. Grace and the other three were finally able to leave the city and arrived at the Battle Pit. It is an arena where people compete against each other with highly advanced technology. Grace explains about the Dragon situation and that they need another way to get to Hawaii, and that a man inside the Battle Pit will know what to do. They sit and watch the battle, waiting for it to be over so they could talk to Benoist. Benoist was in the competition and easily defeated his opponent. After the competition, they meet up with Benoist. Grace explains to him that she must meet his friend named Randolph Jenkins. She tells Benoist that Jenkins told her to seek his help whenever she needed it. Unfortunately Benoist tells Grace that Jenkins is already dead. Benoist asks them what they are running from, to which Grace tells him about Rainier. She continues to explain that Rainier wants Malikai dead and sent the assassin Onyx to kill him. Malikai asks who Rainier is, and Benoist tells him that Rainier is the president of Rainier Industries. He continues to reveal that he used to work for Rainier and that he has a vendetta against the man. Benoist agrees to help out Grace and Malikai since they are dealing with Rainier. He takes them to his boat, which is how they are going to reach Hawaii.
On the way to Hawaii, Benoist gives Grace a tour of his boat. However, he reveals that he knew she was trying to trick him. He knows that Grace already knew that Jenkins is dead and how he would react when she mentioned Rainier. Benoist’s crew seemed to be wary when they were around Grace. Their conversation begins to grow deeper as Grace asks Benoist if a woman with wings was in his heart. He asks her if she knew Lyra, Grace tells him that she was lucky enough to know Lyra and that she was a wonderful woman. Malikai spent most of the day out on the balcony of the boat. Later that evening, Grace sees Malikai on the balcony and decides to go talk to him. She begins to explain to him about Magic and how it had completely disappeared from the world. She tells him that Magic will rise again in the next age. However, Malikai is still having a hard time absorbing all the new knowledge about Magic. She goes more in dept about the first of the five Masters that they are to meet. Their conversation was interrupted by a horde of Recon Drones that were sent by Mr. Abel. Grace flies upwards attempting to protect Malikai and the ship, however Malikai was knocked off the boat. Luckily Benoist was there, he tied a rope onto his armor and jumps in to grab Malikai out of the water. He was successful, and decided to reprogram one of the droids to report back with knowledge that Malikai is “dead.” Everyone on the boat was unharmed, and they eventually arrive in Hawaii. They are greeted by Pilialoha Manawake’a, or Pili for short. She is the daughter of the first Master named Kamea. Pili escorted them into the village and informs Grace that they are aware of the situation. They arrive in front of a giant bonfire and another flight of stairs. However, Pili explains that only Malikai is allowed to ascend upwards to meet the first Master, Kamea.
Malikai was given a large robe to wear and continues towards Kamea. Kamea talks to Malikai through his mind, as he believes that words can lose meaning and thoughts stay pure. Malikai learns that he was chosen long before his birth, and that Samusara, the Bringer of Light, chose him and many others before to try and bring back the age of Magic. Meanwhile, everyone else was enjoying a big feast. After Malikai was done, he decided he wanted to be alone. The next day, P.J., Sonia, and Pili were hanging out on the beach while Grace bathed alone at a waterfall. She believes that Malikai will be different from the others, and that he will bring back the age of Magic. Malikai finally confronts his friends and tells him that he will go with Grace. However, his friends insist that they go with him. Later that evening, just before they were to depart for Tokyo to meet the next Master, Pili tells P.J. that she had a vision that one of them will die on this journey. After they leave, Pili talks to her father and tells him that she saw his death too. However, Kamea was ready to accept it. Shortly after Pili ran back to the village in tears, Kamea was assassinated by Onyx.
The group arrives in Tokyo and as they went to meet the next Master, Ren Watastu’s place, they were attacked by a large amount of women. Grace knocks one of them down and demands she deliver the message that she has arrived. Ren finally reveals himself and he tells them that he will not help the boy, because just like all the previous ones, Malikai will also fail. Grace demanded that Ren help him, otherwise he’d be betraying his own bloodline. They also learn that Kamea was recently killed, then Malikai suddently shoots fire from his hands. Ren offers Malikai one day to prove his worth to Ren. Malikai would eventually succeed in proving his worthiness to Ren, and they begin his training. Grace becomes a little worried about Malikai. He is absorbing so much knowledge, but she fears for his lack of wisdom. Grace later talks to Malikai, to which he begins to blame his new responsibilities for causing the rift between him and his friends. However, Grace reassures him that it is all his doing. They are then attacked by a giant Dragon that bursts through the window.
The Dragon snatches Malikai inside his mouth. They realize that the Dragon is only a machine, and that this attack is most likely Rainier’s doing. Grace flies after the Dragon in hopes of freeing Malikai. However, the Japanese Military engages the Dragon. Grace tries to warn them to leave, but they ignore her. They fire at the Dragon which forces Grace to protect the Dragon, since Malikai was still inside its mouth. However, the military was able to clip its wings and the dragon falls downwards. Malikai was able to get free by blowing up from inside the Dragon’s mouth. The Dragon retaliates and shoots fire at Malikai, however he would still be alive when his friends arrive. They depart for their next destination, the Everlands in Machu Piccu. Grace explains that this is the only area where the Light of Magic still glows, however it is like a dim light in darkness. She opens a passageway and the group goes down. There, they are confronted by a beast and Malikai decides to handle it himself.
