Personality: At first glance, Grace doesn't seem like much of a threat. She's calm, charming, and always has the ghost of a smile near her lips. Always calm (except when her charge acts outrageously) and straight to the point, Grace lets Sheryl take point and stays in the background. While she does give off the aura that she knows more than she's letting on, Grace doesn't really seem like the person who would try to take over the galaxy.
That is, until you start delving into her past. Grace's pride is the first thing that comes to mind, even though it would have been wise to change her name after the attack on Global, she did not. She changed occupation, kept a low profile, yes, but the other characters eventually picked up on that she was the same person from Macross Global. That pride eventually ratted her out in the end.
Would it be too much to call Grace a sociopath? Perhaps, but she does seem to have the lack of empathy down. She doesn't care that her theories could wipe out an entire species and free will. She doesn't care that she spent ten years raising Sheryl and then throwing her away like a rag doll. Making an entire fleet a hive mind? Already done that.
But why, why would she do this? For revenge. She wanted to show up Doctor Mao and Ranshe. She even mentions them by name during the series, trying to prove her point that she became greater than them. By this token, it's pretty safe to assume that Grace is a person who holds a grudge and will get revenge on you, even if it takes generations.
