Lady Grace of Onneria is the third child of Prince Theodurik IX of Onneria and his consort Caroline of Ghant. She is the twin sister of Aetius of Onneria, and is considered third in birth order because she was born hours after her twin. Grace is noteworthy for, far more than her other siblings, largely withdrawing from public life.
Early Life and Education
Grace Elisabeth Claudia Heligsburg was born on March 14th, 1995 at St. Theodur Hospital in Onneria in South Ottonia, hours after her twin, Aetius. She was baptised with her twin on April 10th, 1995. Grace's godparents were her cousin, Godwyn, Duke of Staalmark, and her aunt, Serena of Onneria.
Alongside her brother, Grace attended the Academy of Colona for her primary schooling before matriculating to Vylfhuld Academy at the age of 13 in 2008. While the two had been close prior, despite their differing temperments (Aetius was rambunctious and extroverted, while Grace was introverted and was called "courtesy incarnate" by one instructor), once in Vylfhuld the two rapidly grew apart. Aetius' increasingly hedonistic tendencies alienated Grace, who had become more and more devout in her faith and was considered by many of her peers to be "a bleeding heart."
Personal Life
Grace is noteworthy among her family for her level of piety; Grace is known to attend mass every week without fail, and is often seen at Saint Honorius Cathedral in Onneria even during the week. Reportedly, in 2013 following her graduation from Vylfhuld Academy, Grace had to be convinced by her parents not to enter a convent at that juncture.
