The daughter of Duke Auvergne and the villainess in the otome game "Magical Academy: Love & Beast".

In her past life, used to be a 52 years old man called Kenzaburou Tondabayashi, who worked as a civil servant. Thanks to her "old man" wisdom, her "elegance cheat" and her experience as an ex-parent, she gives counsels to many people within the academy.

Not wanting to get in the way of the happy endings of the young characters around him, Grace sets out to play the role of the villain, but whether it's due to Kenzaburou's memories of being an affectionate parent getting in the way or not being able to remember those pesky foreign names properly, it ends up being a lot harder than it looks...
