Grace Ishida is one of the Signature Characters from Orpheus, as well as a Storyteller character. Born to prosperous parents who worked as business executives, Grace is half-Japanese and was raised in both Tokyo and San Francisco. However, her strong dreamer's attitude caused several conflicts with her parents, especially after she told them of her desire to become an artist. When she was 16, she ran away from home after her parents threatened her with boarding school. * Orpheus: Shades of Gray, p. 81 , 93
