-Grace was one of two apprentices to Doctor Mao Nome, the other being Ranshe Mei--the mother of Brera and Ranka. They served on the research Macross Global ship. Their topic of research was the Vajra, an alien insect species.
-Grace writes a thesis on combining the hive-mind of the Vajra with cybernetic implants. In theory someone could unite all the galaxy with a communication system using the "fold quartz" that the Vajra produce. This would sacrifice the Vajra as a species but it wouldn't matter.
-Ranshe doesn't like said theory. Even though she was dying from an infection caused by the Vajra, Ranshe didn't approve of just using them in such a matter. Grace, naturally, hated that decision and she wouldn't just accept this dismissal of her work.
-Then the attack on Macross Global by the Vajra happened. Out of the three, only Grace survived; albeit the attack had left her face scarred (though, due to cybernetic enhances later received the wounds are no longer visible.)
-Brera, Ranshe's son, was found after the attack and 're-built' with cybernetic implants. Grace, though, had plans and used this to brainwash him; giving him amnesia.
-At some point, Doctor Mao's grandchild, Sheryl, became an orphan due to the planning of Grace. She ran around the streets of Macross Galaxy for a while. Until Grace found her.
-Grace brought Sheryl to a hospital where she was injected with the same type of disease that Ranshe had. So started the "Fairy-9" project, one step to gaining control of the Vajra queen, the leader of the alien Vajra.
-For ten years, Grace brought up Sheryl, becoming her manager when Sheryl became an idol. While she did have some feelings for her (after all, being her caretaker for so long), Grace knew that was dangerous and simply used her cybernetic implants to "erase" these feelings.
-At some point, Grace implants (no pun intended) her theory into practice on Macross Galaxy. Effectively using the mandatory cybernetics to turn an entire into a hive-mind as her as the queen.
-Grace used Sheryl's status to get to Macross Frontier, to start off her plans. Staying in the background for most of the series, planning with Leon, the president's assistant, Grace watched and waited.
-Then Ranka came on the scene. Grace was surprised but adjusted her plans, she used Ranka (and abandoning Sheryl) to eventually find the Vajra home world.
-Grace uses both Brera and Ranka to distract everyone else before 'connecting' to the Vajra queen, becoming one with one of the most powerful creatures in the galaxy.
-Then a big battle happened and she got shot by Alto Saotome, effectively ending her plans.
