Gracie Malkom is a small and shy but tough and vigilant.
She hold her own.
But sometimes she just ducks her head and keeps walking to avoid having to do that.
For one reason.
She's special.
Gracie was born from two special parents in New York city. She had a older brother also.
Her parents gained their powers from the Asgardian Loki's scepter.
But that didn't save them.
Even with their power they couldn't control well enough and got them and her brother killed during a Hydra blow in.
Gracie was orphaned at 18 years old.
Her powers.
Telepathic Energy. Manipluation. Strength.
She's powerful.
She fights in the spirit of her parents defending her home and wherever she's needed by the Avengers.
But meeting and falling in love with Loki was not part of her plan.
Gracie was always below her brother.
Her parents...well sure they loved her. But they favoured her brothers James so much more.
Gracie has a lot of bitterness that Loki recognizes and wants to use for his own gain.
But his feelings get in the way as the days drag on.
He falls in love with her also.
