Biography[]
Early life[]
Early in her life as a kid, Gracia wasn't the favored one by her uncle as, despite his wealth, all of his children were studying abroad, and Gracia was the one always left behind. She looked up to her father figure as a kid and after he rescued two kids, Tahir Kapoor and Ray Hsu, she decided to take responsibility, considering them as her own siblings, despite her young age.
Some point later at her life, she had been in a relationship with Doug Wright but broke up with him later on for unknown reasons.[citation needed]
After her uncle's death[citation needed] his wish was to appoint her as the headmaster of the Marhawa School, which he had owned previously. As a result, she had to take over his duties, favoring this place over everything else and saw it as her own, just like her uncle. She decided to live up to his wish and became Mother Gracia.
Headmaster of the Marhawa School[]
As the headmaster of the isolationist academy, Mother Gracia seems to be very strict about inviting outsiders, most likely due to her beliefs that outsiders aren't trustworthy.
After the fight that ensued between Alisa Lin and Nanan Yoshihara, Bindi Bergara went to Mother Gracia's office to report the incident. Bindi had intended to report the incident to the police, to which Gracia disagreed. Mother Gracia chose to keep the fight a secret, and as such, allowed no reports to be made to the police.
Bindi, unsatisfied with Gracia's decision, took Nanan and left the Marhawa School secretly. However, Gracia knew of this plan, and brought with her the academy's security guards to chase after the escaping students.
After the accident that took Nanan's life away, she continued to look after her students, until the day when the mutated Nanan came into the academy and infected nearly all students with the airborne C-Virus, one by one.
Mother Gracia invited a close acquaintance of hers, Professor Doug Wright, along with his comrades and his nephew Ricky Tozawa. She expected Doug and his comrades to be able to solve the outbreak by themselves, but Doug insisted that Gracia immediately inform the BSAA that a bioterror attack had occurred in Marhawa. Gracia refused, however, due to her isolationist view and went on to cover up the incident. After her refusal, she burned down a dormitory containing the zombified Alisa and Ra-Na in an attempt to hide their deaths, stating that the dorm was scheduled for demolition anyway.
When Ricky and Ray became further convinced that the situation was growing out of control, she proceeded to destroy their vehicle, their only means of escape, and still expected them to solve the growing issues by giving them guns to use. When two students are zombified during a school festival, Bindi attempted to call out Gracia's views, who immediately retorts that Bindi was the cause of the mess. In private, she confided with Ricky, Tahir and Doug, opening up about the incident with Bindi and Nanan. Taking them to site where Nanan died, Doug offered her the chance to change her views after the incidents, which she accepted. Unfortunately, by that point it was too late as Ricky, Tahir and Doug confronted Bindi and Nanan, merely resulting in Tahir's death with Doug being severely wounded. Afterwards, Bindi had Nanan infected the rest of the students, causing the entire academy to become zombified.
Mother Gracia herself was murdered at the hands of the mutated Bindi Bergara, who scorned her in her last moments, gloating on how she hated Gracia. She succumbed to her wounds in front of Ricky and Quan, dying with Doug's image in her mind. Before her death, however, she left a letter to Doug, apologizing for her actions and her happiness at the opportunity to start over should they escape. She also states the presence of an emergency chopper in the hidden basement of the academy, which Ricky and Chris later use to escape.
BSAA reinforcements later arrived to clear away the remaining zombies and proceeded to recover Gracia's body. Gracia was later buried next to Doug Wright. At a later time, Ricky visited their graves, carrying flowers.
