Grace is a Wonder Toys Frame produced under collaboration with the Roman Catholic Church in 20XX. Meant to evoke the imagery of feminine warrior-christians like Jeanne D'Arc, as well as tie in to popular media depictions of battle nuns, Grace was meant to be the Vatican's foot in the door for converts in the Frame Girl hobby, although hobbyists secretly theorize that the current Pope, Claud, has family who are Frame Battlers, or is one himself, and desired a bespoke Frame for either their or his use.
Strategy
Grace is built for durability and strength, and possess very little in the way of advanced features, which was requested as an 'act of humility' in front of the Lord god. As such, there isn't much special about Grace, except that she is far stronger and far more durable than her price of 240 dollars would suggest. The features of her build that are relevant to strategy, however, are what she lacks rather than what she possesses - her strength and durability come at the cost of speed and unique capability. Grace, like Stardust Knight, features no special ability to mitigate damage - no shields, no advanced movement, and no advanced reflex circuitry to block bullets. She simply takes her hits and has faith that her opponents cannot defeat her, and usually, she is correct.
Personality
Personality wise, Graces are devout Catholics, and in a stunningly progressive move by the Church, every Grace manufactured was baptized in holy water blessed by Claud himself, albeit as a step on their assembly line, overseen by a church official. They are reserved, strict with their owners, and will scold them for using profanity or acting in unsportsman, unchristian ways. This moral fortitude also extends to battle - owners have reported Graces refusing to strike opponents unless they were standing on their own two feet, or purposefully pulling blows in the chances that they could force a surrender instead of winning by shutdown. If these personality traits develop, Graces will perform them stubbornly and ruthlessly, only abandoning them in times of great need, after which they will demand to be taken to confession. It is not uncommon for owners of a Grace to take their Frame to church for this reason, and sit patiently outside while their robot doll confers with the priest for penance. Graces are still produced today, albeit in limited batches, and enjoy some popularity, especially by Christian families seeking a faith friendly way of engaging in the Frame battling hobby.
