Fanon:Grace Dean

Grace Glenn is the daughter of Gloria and Gordon Glenn, sister of George Glenn, and granddaughter of Jenny and Norman Joy, and the mother of Michelle Williams. She is the widow of Bryce Williams and is currently dating Greg Chelsea.

As a child and teen, her dream was to get married, and have a big, happy family. However, little did she know that there would be lots of problems...

Infancy and Toddlerhood
Not much is known about her earliest years. She was born with the traits Frugal and Family-Oriented. She learned all three toddler skills successfully. But the only memory she has during her toddler years was her younger brother George being born. She was excited to have little brother and loved him very much.

Childhood
As a child, she gained the Bookworm trait. Grace grew up in her parents' big house along the outskirts of Riverview. They were both technophobes, so they house had no technology, besides a rotary phone, and some cheap kitchen appliances. Due to this, Grace would always read books, play outside with neighborood kids, play chess with her parents, and occassionally help with her mom's garden.

When her grandmother Jenny got very old, she moved into Grace's house for a bit. Grace loved her grandmother and had fond memories of going to get ice cream with her, play chess, and listen to her stories of the old days. Near the end of her childhood, Jenny died, so she ended her childhood going to her funeral. She ended her childhood with a B grade in school.

Adolescence
She got over her grandmother's death when she became a teen. She gained the Hopeless Romantic. She was going to start high school and start a new chapter of her life. When she began, she was very pretty and the guys loved to hang out with her. Most girls didn't like her because the guys liked her so much. She made good friends with three guys, Bryce Williams, who was in many of her classes, Greg Chelsea, who she tutored, and Arthur Dole, who was the son of a family friend.

Bryce and Grace became very close, and they went on their first date when they ate lunch outside the bistro, had their first kiss, then went to the movies. For the next couple of years, her and Bryce went steady and would send each other love letters, talk on the telephone for as long as they could, and go on dates around town. The whole school knew them as the cutest couple. The other girls were glad she was dating him so they had a chance with other guys and the guys became jealous of Bryce. Her father taught her how to drive.

Grace soon began fantasizing about her future life. Her goals were: graduating from high school, going to university, getting a career, marrying Bryce, and having many children with him. She couldn't wait for her Young Adult birthday and to fulfill these wishes. Other than these wishes, she also took up the writing skill. A secondary goal she has is to write one or two books in her lifetime. During the last few years of high school, the school to work program set Grace up to get a part time job at the Bookstore.

Young Adulthood
On their last day of being teenagers, Bryce spent the night. The next morning, they aged up into Young Adults. They celebrated Grace's birthday as early as possible. They desperately wanted to age to Young Adult so they could WooHoo. After the party, they snuck up to their room, and WooHooed. After, they went on a date to the pool to celebrate their adulthood. But when Grace went to use the bathroom, she got into a conversation with someone about books. In the pool, Bryce became very tired. He couldn't reach the pool ladder, and ended up drowning and dying as there was no lifeguard on duty as it was winter and there was few people at the pool. Grace was shocked and heartbroken after the love of her life just died. It was the worst night of her life.

After her high school graduation, winter began. A bad blizzard hit Riverview. Grace learned that she was pregnant with Bryce's baby. She was delighted to be having a baby, but also sad that the baby was going to grow up without a father. This also put her life in a different direction. She had planned on going to university and having kids afterwards, but now she was pregnant and would not have the chance.

Her high school friend Greg Chelsea started flirting with her and she ended up dating him, because she wanted her child to have a father, and she wanted to also be able to fulfill her wish of having many kids and she figured Greg would be a good fit. However, her family wasn't so sure about him.

Grace's first pregnancy went horribly. She was going through the heartbreak of losing her soul mate and being sick and tired all the time. Gloria helped her with her pregnancy but it didn't make things much better. When Grace gave birth to Michelle, Greg was kind to her and seemed like a loving father.

Greg and Grace tried for a baby and planned on getting married and moving out when spring came by. Her pregnancy with Susie went much better and smoother. Greg could take care of Michelle while Grace rested. After giving birth to Susie, she had her hands full with a toddle and a baby in the house. She taught Michelle all her toddler skills. She attended George's awards ceremony for his participation in the sports club, and later, his high school graduation.

She felt some depression that her brother was able to go to university and she wasn't able to because of her pregnancy. But her spirits were lifted when Greg proposed to her! When her parents both aged to Elders, She moved out with Greg and her children to a new house so Gloria and Gordon could enjoy their retirement. She also asked George to move in with her so he could help pay the bills.

After moving in, Michelle aged to Child. Greg also was no longer under the scrutiny of Grace's family, and he began to show his Mean-Spirited tendencies. He would never ever take care of his daughter and step-daughter and would instead paint in his room for most of the day. He would also be unusually strict against Michelle when she would mess up, while not caring when Susie messed up. Grace was getting exhausted of taking care of two girls on her own and witnessing the treatment of Michelle and got into a fight with Greg. She confronted him about his harsh behavior towards Michelle and his apathy towards the kids in general. Greg mocked her for being too family oriented and insulted her family, and it ended up getting physical. Greg slapped Grace and beat her up before George came home from work and screamed at him to leave the house. Greg was kicked out of the house and Grace got custody of Susie.
