Grace from "Shiver" is a loyal, open-mined, and independant person. Grace is loyal to her parents, Sam , and school. She has never missed a day of school before she met Sam and always completes her homework. Although she doesnt have the greatest parents, she still makes them dinner and listens to them. Ever since Sam saved her from the attack in the woods, Grace has loved "her wolf". She spent six years watching him from her backyard, waiting for him to come closer. A part in the book that demonstrates this is when the cashier asks " How long have you two been gong out?" to which Sam replies"Six years." and Grace thought to herslef "Of course he would count the time that we'd been two entirely different species.".Even though he was a wolf, Garce hasn't had a boyfriend before Sam. She knows that he is a werewolf and will soon become a wolf forever yet she still stands by their love and remains loyal to him until the end. Grace is in love with Sam dispite the fact that he is werewolf and is open minded to everything about him. Sam is into poetry and so Grace is open to learning how to understand it. She is accepting of everything that comes with him being a werewolf ; that this is probaby his last year human and the last year they get to spend together, that Sam cannot be exposed to the cold, that he has to hunt animals while he is a wolf, etc. She accepts people for who they are and is open towards them. Grace gets her independence from her parents absentitism, her mother is a busy artist and her father works constantly. A part in the book which demonstrates this is: "So, Grace, hows school?" i asked myself. Dad nodded, eyes on the baby koala now struggling in the guests arms. "Oh iy's fine." i countinued, and Dad made a minbling noise of agreement. I added, "Nothing special, aside form the load of pandas they brought in, and the teachers abandoning us to canabalistic savages." I paused to see if I could cathc his attention yet, then pressed on." The whole building caught fire, then i gailed drama, and then sex,sex,sex." Dad's eyes abruptly focused, and he turned to me and frowned. "What did you say they were teahcing you in schoool?". Their lack of presence around the house and interest in Grace has made her independent, to cook,clean, and take care of herself. Dispite the lack of parental support and consitisies in a normal teenage realationship, Grace still proves to be loyal, open-minded, and independant.
