Gracia von Stehlen
"And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."
- Percy Bysshe Shelley

Personality
Though she thinks herself a high-class mystery, Gracia is in fact very obviously the curious sort of woman. She likes things shiny and expensive and tinted with danger. And she will have her way.
Biography & Lore
The House of von Stehlen is an extensive family full of selfish, power-rich men and cunning, persistent women. The extent of the family tree is essentially worship within the family. To them, family is everything. Except, of course, when family gets in the way. Words are powerful tools, but not very truthful ones:
Mahab von Stehlen ~ Gracia's grandfather and head of the House of von Stehlen. Lives in the von Stehlen homeland of Strojland where he oversees trade with Vel Anir noble-houses. Never are his intentions well-mannered or particularly moral.
Yallah von Stehlen ~ Gracia's grandmother and wife to Mahab. Lives alongside her husband but often leaves Strojland to broker trades in person. She was Gracia's most attentive teacher.
Henrik von Stehlen ~ Gracia's uncle, brother to her late father. Jealousy is his breakfast and dinner. For lunch he dines on those he rules over.
Maria von Stehlen ~ Gracia's aunt, sister to her late father. Whimsical is her nature but seething is her mind. Gracia's proficiency with mixing explosive potents allows her the foresight of Maria's breaking point.
Lilianna von Stehlen ~ Gracia's little sister. Ten years younger and the last gift their mother had to give. Blind with guilt or teeming with power over being their father's reasoning for death, Gracia isn't certain. Her one true weakness lies in Lilianna.

There exists in Strojland another house which harbors the third and youngest brother of Gracia's father and his three children. Previously, while on unsure footing and coming into responsibility, Gracia advised this rather gentle side of the family. Now, on the order of Mahab, Gracia returns to her grandfather's palace to whisper into his ear the things he wants to hear.References
