While the overall application was good, we would like to request an extended personality— what are Grell's goals, hopes, and dreams? What are some of her beliefs? What does she think about herself? Why is Grell's favorite color red? Elaborate on the two different sides of Grell's personality, and her human form. These are just a few examples.
If you respond to this comment with your revisions, we'll look them over ASAP! You'll have until 03/29.
[ Personality ] : Grell, while a man, considers herself very much female. This causes her to be considered a “trans woman,” wishing to not only be female in mind and spirit but in body as well. Grell considers herself to be a very beautiful woman (even though many people disagree) and tries her best to behave as such. Because of this she tends to be vain about her outward appearance. She doesn't like any harm to come to her face because it will disfigure her beautiful looks. She hates it when people insult her looks and tell her she is anything but beautiful or female. She also tends to hit on every good looking guy she sees and tends “deflate” as such with they turn her down or insult her. Another wish of hers is to carry the child of a handsome man. Because of this, she tends to mourn the fact that she cannot have children – of course to which it is often pointed out by both co-workers and those she fights against that she is in fact a he. It was due to this that Grell joined Angelina Durless in becoming Jack the Ripper, taking on a human form of a clumsy butler.
Because Grell thinks of herself as a female, this causes her to behave very flamboyantly. The shinigami believes herself to be a sort of actress. As such she tends to be over dramatic and behaves as if she is performing on a stage. Often she refers to events or actions in theater terms and constantly speaks in double entendre. She is very exaggerated in most everything she does, especially when it comes to how she feels toward someone or something. She has even gone so far in her first fight against Sebastian to somewhat bastardize lines from Shakespeare, likening them to Romeo and Juliet. She believes them to be star-crossed lovers, though Sebastian is disgusted by the very thought.
However with all the theatrics and word play, Grell is actually a very blunt person. It doesn't matter if the person is kind or not to her, she will tell it like it is. Most often noted is when it pertains to a person's appearance and/or personality towards her. She makes it clear if she approves or disapproves of the person, and if she really doesn't like them she will let her disdain be known.
Grell is very masochistic and sadistic. She is thought of as a glutton for punishment as when she always tries to go near certain people and gets hurt because she does. More often than not it's because she ends up fighting the person and getting harmed. An ally of hers also tends to treat her badly and yet she still flirts with him as well. It's even been said that when Sebastian talks about aesthetics, it turns on her sadistic side. She also loves the color red. It is unknown as to the reason why she loves the color. Grell has loved the it since well before she met Angelina Durless. However, it is because of this love of the color that she is believed to be blood thirsty. This could also be because of the fact that she has said in the presence of others that she loves the color of fresh blood.
But there is another side to Grell all together. Brought out mostly when she takes her human form, she has shown that she is has many insecurities. She tries to hide these with her theatrics, but it is believed that she ultimately fears rejection. Bringing attention to herself, it helps her to feel that she important and allows her to be seen. As seen many times, she also messes things up in both human and shinigami forms. While trying to hide and flirt her way out of the trouble she's caused, it's been seen that she knows she messed up and tries to correct it. And while she may not be suicidal as she indicates while in her human butler form, she is effected by the results of what wrongs she's done.
While her human appearance is more of a facade than anything, Grell plays the part well (when someone hasn't caught her already). She plays the role of an introverted, clumsy butler. She is quiet and reserved, staying off to the side mostly and really only flailing when she has done something wrong. She shows that she is very self-conscious, saying that every time she makes a mistake that she's unworthy to live and proceeds to try and kill herself (which of course is difficult with her being a Death God). This also factors into the fact that as a the human butler there tended to be a lack of enthusiasm for the life she had, which appeared as an extreme form of depression. She also showed an obsession with death, even going so far as to design the Phantomhive bushes into the shape of skulls. She highly praises Sebastian as the human butler of Angelina Durless, wanting to be the butler that he is but ultimately failing. Whenever she tried to help around the Phantomhive household, she would make mistakes which would have to be corrected by Sebastian.
