You know Gracie. XD Sweet, incredibly innocent (though she doesn't think so), always willing to help someone else, can be a bit childish. She loves to make other people happy and therefore tends to overlook her own wants and emotions, but even when called out on it, she prefers the contentness of another to her own.

Gracie's family is considered a "new money" family only because of her father, Richard - so, technically, she is a second-generation NMM, but it's not old enough to be considered old money. As such, the birth of identical twins - Alexia Robbyn and Kaelie Anne - into the family was not at all a financial problem, and they spent their entire lives surrounded by absolute luxury; at least, in the financial sense. Though they were far from opposites and just as far from being exactly alike, as tends to be the case with most identical twins, Kaelie and Alexia were closer than most people would think possible. Alexia was the quiet, gentler counterpart to Kaelie's outgoing enthusiasm and determination.

The family was incredibly close-knit, and the parental-daughter likenesses were clear. Alexia took after her father in personality, and Kaelie took after her mother. It never seemed to get in the way, however or divide them - which is, perhaps, the only reason the family got through it when they were twelve years old and their mother was killed in a car crash. In fact, the two were watching the news after school and that was how they found out. It was then that Alexia had her first seizure, and the family nearly faced a double tradgedy.

However, as it had to, life went on. The twins clung to each other, and to their father, and never really stopped mourning but eventually stopped waiting, the hardest part to get over. They both seemed perfectly happy - especially Kaelie, who had become a bit of an idol to those around her. It wasn't that Alexia was the lesser sister, but rather the more quiet one who did things to help people from a distance. Kaelie was the one doing community service, writing and delivering speeches to advocate for different rights, helping at orphanages and the like.

All of the sudden, when they were fifteen, Kaelie seemed to sink into a depression - and the only one in the world who noticed was Alexia. Twice, she tried to confront her about it, but twice, Kaelie brushed it off without an explanation. And then, for the first time in their entire high school lives, Kaelie stayed home sick from school. By the time Alexia got home, their father still at work, it was too late. She found Kaelie in their room, seemingly asleep - except for the blue tinge and the frigidness of her skin. Alexia knew what had happened without so much as shaking her; the connection was gone.

Without really thinking about it, she made an instant decision. The two girls looked one-hundred percent identical, the exception being perhaps one or two birthmarks that no onw knew about, anyway. Their fingerprints had both been burned off two years earlier when they had made a "pact" to "become one" - a fourteen year old twin thing. When she called the ambulance, it was to report that her twin sister, Alexia, had committed suicide, and that was the story she stuck with.

The two had shared everything together, so it was not hard at all to lapse into Kaelie's life. She was never quite as loud as her or outspoken, but that was never looked at too closely; after losing her twin, it was expected. However, the world needed Kaelie more than it needed Alexia, at least in her opinion. So many people had depended on her - losing her would ruin lives instead of just affecting them. That made it absolutely no easier. She was the only person in the world morning the death of Kaelie, and had to sit by and watch as her family and friends mourned the loss of Alexia - and assumed that her tears were for the same person.

Several times, Alexia considered coming out with the truth, especially after a couple of years had gone by. However, by that point, she realized her decision was set it stone. It wasn't fair to force all of those people to mourn both twins, and they would, indeed, mourn the loss of Kaelie all over again if she told the truth. The hurt was unneccesary, and if she was being honest with herself, Kaelie - even as her - did more for the world than she had ever been brave enough to do as herself. The downfall is that she receives no official treatment for her seizures - if she did, they would find out she was herself.

A year ago, when she turned eighteen, she changed her name to Grace Alexia, saying she needed a fresh start. Everyone assumed that her middle name was a tribute to her dead sister, but in reality, it was the opposite case. It was a tribute to the life she had left behind, the one she could never return to, the person she could never be.
