BIOGRAPHY --

Belfast, Ireland during the 1990s was fraught with tension. The Troubles were in full swing and everyone viewed their neighbor with an air of utmost suspicion. The threat of attacks was always whispered in the air, and throughout the city, a series of mysterious murders were cropping up and the police, already stretched thin, were powerless to stop it. Not that Grace Spencer knew anything about that. She was only a child, after all. As with any child growing up in Northern Ireland during that time, her childhood was full of a lot of uncertainty. She didn’t understand the drills she was forced to practice in school, nor the reason why sometimes there would be shouting in the streets when she was trying to go to bed. But still, she considered herself lucky. She had a mummy who gave her snuggles whenever she wanted and she had a daddy - her favorite person in the whole wide world - who loved her just as much as she loved him. It was more than a lot of her friends ever got, so she was happy. In 1998, Grace was nine, and her parents told her that all the bad bits were over, that all the people fighting had signed something called a Peace Treaty and things would be normal from now on. Grace had never experienced ‘normal’ before, and as fate would have it, maybe ‘normal’ was never really in the cards for her.

Six months after The Troubles had ended, her parents started acting strangely. Her mum spent a lot of the time crying when she thought Grace wasn’t looking, and her daddy was always either gone or locked up in his study. Sometimes, she’d knock at his door, ask him to come out and play, but every time the door stayed resolutely locked. And then one day Daddy left, and he never really came back. He had to go away ‘for work,’ Mummy explained, and he probably wouldn’t be back for a very long time. With enough pleading, Grace got to visit him at work just once, in the big dark building on the edge of town where he had to wear a funny blue suit. He told her he loved her, and he told her to be good, and then he gave her a hug and a kiss and she was ushered out of the room. That was the last time she ever saw her father… The truth of what happened came to her in pieces: mysterious phone calls her mum kept getting, quick glances at computer screens before she could notice and change the window. And later, the suspicious glares and whispers of parents and teachers at school, the wicked taunts from her fellow classmates. Finally, she took matters into her own hands, commandeered a computer in the computer lab at school, and set out to find the truth.

With the violence from the Troubles behind them for the most part, the police were finally able to turn their attentions toward the string of unsolved murders which had been plaguing the city. The illusive killer had been named the Belfast Strangler, and after a city-wide manhunt, they finally had their criminal. Attached to every article heralding the capture of the perpetrator was a picture of one man: her father, Patrick Spencer. The news left her shaken - she didn’t know how to rectify the two men she held in her head: her loving father and the brutal serial killer. It left her dazed, confused, and angry that her father could have done this - not to everyone else, but to her. They were a team, after all, and now he’d done something that meant he was taken away from her forever. And it turned out she wasn’t the only one taking the news poorly. Her mother was driven mad by the guilt of not having seen it, of not having stopped him. And so one day, suddenly, her mother was gone, too. For different reasons, but no less permanent. And Grace, now without both her parents, was sent to live with her grandparents.

She was understandably angry with her lot in life - angry at her parents for abandoning her, angry at her grandparents for looking at her with that edge of suspicion and fear they could never quite hide - as though she was suddenly someone entirely different - angry at herself that despite everything, she still loved her father desperately. People said she was the daughter of a monster, and sometimes, she’d get so angry she could believe it - she could feel the monster blood flowing in her veins. Her time with her grandparents was difficult. They didn’t know how to handle a child who had gone through so much trauma, and their solution was just to make every decision for her, in hopes that it might ease her burden. Grace hated it, and it had the opposite effect than the had hoped. The final straw was when they changed her name without even asking her and made her take theirs: Walsh. They said it was for her own protection and in memory of her mother, but Grace knew better. They were trying to erase her father from her, but they couldn’t - he was a part of her. She started acting out - throwing tantrums, getting into fights. It was small at first, but as she grew, so did the rebellion. By age 14, her grandparents had had enough. The loss of their daughter hit them hard, and they were too old and too heartbroken to handle Grace’s troublesome ways. So they send her away to boarding school. And while Grace hated them for it at the time, looking back, Grace realized it was probably the best thing they could have ever done for her.

The school provided her with structure - the teachers were stern and the curriculum was strict. It taught her to control her emotions - those violent bursts of anger - and how to behave in the manner that a proper young woman should (or at least in ways that would avoid scrutiny…) Her once failing grades improved, and eventually she even learned to mend her relationship with her grandparents. She realized that they were only ever trying to help her, and she had done very little to make that any easier on them. At age 18, she went away to university in London to study psychology. She received her Psy.D, and upon graduation, returned home to Belfast only to discover that her grandparents’ health was failing them. Within the span of two years, she lost both of them. It was devastating - she felt abandoned all over again. And rather than continue in the city that had only ever let her down, she decided to move and start again somewhere new.

Character Take Over

Hey! To celebrate my birthday and the fact this blog now has 985 followers (holy shit), I thought it would be fun to do a character take over.

From now until the end of the day send me any questions you might have for any of the characters of Good Omens, and I’ll answer them in character to the best of my ability.

I’ll also be including my OCs, Isabelle, Peter, and Grace in this if you want to ask them questions.

The only thing I ask is no NSFW questions.  I’m trying to keep this blog PG/PG-`13

Let’s have some fun!

OC Sorting Hat

Inspired by @can-of-pringles​, I thought it would be fun to sort my OCs into Harry Potter Houses.  I took this quiz answering the questions as my characters. 

Isabelle Crowley:

Peter Walsh:

Grace Walsh:

Tag your friends! Reblog! Let’s keep this train going!

OC fact! Original fantasy world. Jaykorv Aveo. Chief of the Tekhum Star newspaper. An enormous black anthropomorphic griffin. Overweight and doesn't give a shit. Gay af. Flamboyant and has a hard exterior shell which makes him really intimidating, but he's actually a huge softy. The newspaper is actually a cover for his real job as a black market dismantler where he runs an operation trying to destroy the market for "mythical" creatures. He helps save animals (usually young ones) and free them.

Wow! There is a lot of stuff to unpack there.  So, are you envisioning this fantasy world as a book series? Comic? TV Show? What?

Let’s mix it up a bit.  This is Grace Walsh, Peter’s younger sister.  She’s a theater nerd, bi as fuck and a certified meme lord.  She is also ready to roast Crowley and Peter at the drop of a hat.

Hc that peter gets victimised by grace on a regular basis. For example: Grace *pointing at peter* HA HA HA HA look at that HIGH WAISTED MAN he got FeMiNiNe HiPs Peter: *on the verge of tears* NO that’s the thing I’m S E N S I T I V E AbOuT

I somehow managed to read this with an Irish accent and it somehow made it better???

Also,

Peter who knows for a fact Isabelle was re-reading the Harry Potter books the night before and cried when Cedric died, again:

What does aziraphale think of grace?

Aziraphale thinks Grace is just a dear

Honestly any friend of Isabelle automatically puts them in Aziraphale’s good books so long as they don’t hurt his books or Isabelle

He actually gets a kick out of watching Crowley and Grace interact; he’s far enough away to see how similar the two of them actually are and enjoys the fire show that ensues

There’s also the bonus of Grace being really nice to him specifically

Grace can’t bring herself to roast such an obvious soft boi; bi/gay solidarity
