Grace Eddy, Auror/Field Medic
2012 Update: During the early months of the year while she was still considered a Trainee, Grace spent much of her time focused on her added medic training. She's started to put those skills into action both on the field but also away from work. She has taken up residence in a Diagon flat and often provides help to those in need, notably werewolves (both registered and unregistered) during the weeks before and after Full Moons, her efforts to help with the Underground Werewolf Clinic that Knox Greyfriar once exposed her to.

At her core, much of who Grace is has not changed from the time she was in Hogwarts. And this is what makes her a good Auror and a medic: Grace still can't help wanting to fight for what is right, for those who are helpless or less fortunate, no matter the consequences. It still offends her sense of fairness and justice in the world. Of course, now she has more tools with which to have an impact on such things. This realization has caused her to take her work as an Auror and medic quite seriously, which on some level is not surprising considering Grace has always taken certain pursuits seriously. Still, in recent years, this has often been at the expense of other areas in her life. Her social life complete with close friends have all but fallen away from her as she has settled her razor sharp focus on reaching certain career goals. Perhaps part of her fears losing another unspoken, passionately held vision for her future and being crushed by it. While she may have been dubbed a stick in the mud who didn't know how to have fun for a time, she feels the sacrifice has been worth it.

Now that her training is over, though she recognizes she has plenty left to learn about her profession and her role in it, Grace seems much more relaxed and oddly serene. Might she finally be content with where she is? Or who she is? Have her dreams and ambitions finally plateaued and she can now live in the moment?

With a desire to celebrate her promotion to full Auror as well as her added duties as an Auror Medic, Grace lopped off her rather long auburn locks in favor of the more chic, pixie cut that she now sports. She loves it, though having her long hair to fidget with in times of nervousness or deep contemplation has been an adjustment. To compliment the new haircut, Grace also tends to dress a bit more sharply or seriously. Though she still aims for function in her attire due to the nature of her work, there's a clear difference in how she approaches it now than when she was just a trainee.
