Gracie Hanson

Name:Gracie Mae Hanson
Age: 15
Personality:

Gracie is quite the free-spirit who always seems to be full of energy and happiness. Some could describe her as a big ball of energy while others would say that she is annoying and obnoxious. She doesn't really care much about what others think of her though, she has her family and they are the most important people in her life. They accept her for who she is and that is all she needs. She is good at ignoring any rude comments made about her, acting as if they don't bother her until she is on her own. Only then does she let it out.

She's a sweet and caring girl who would do anything for her family. She loves to help them and she has made Alec her responsibility. She is determined to find a way to help him just as she is determined in everything that she does. She always shows so much compassion, especially toward animals and creatures of all kinds, even the ones people may not normally like. She treats her ferret, Dakota, as her little baby. Talking about him and treating him just like she would her own child.

History:
Gracie Mae Hanson is the youngest and first biological child of Robert and Renee Hanson. She was born just two years after the couple adopted their first little one, Alec, from a friend who was going through hard times and didn't have the ability to care for a child. The Hanson's were very much pleased with their little boy and their little girl, perfectly content with their little family. Even though they struggled with Alec's behavior, they did not have any of those issues with Gracie. Gracie was always a very easy going, happy, giggly little girl full of love and life.

Growing up Gracie never really had any friends. Her social skills were lacking and a lot of the time it was like she was living in her own little world. A much happier world at that, so who could really blame her? Her main friends were her family. She would come up with silly little games to rope Alec into playing with her. She would spend time with her parents, even if they were just doing work that most kids found boring. Robert was an experimental physicist and Renee an inventor and Gracie had no problem spending hours with them, trying her best to help them with their work.

She definitely got the brilliant genes from both her parents. Straight A's in school and her desire to do more independent work along side her mother and father as she got older proved that. At fifteen she was contributing amazing ideas to her mother and father's work and she has been working on something of her own for a little while now.  She's a strange, geeky child in the eyes of many of her peers and this causes some bullying, but Gracie tends to at least pretend to not let it bother her. They have never actually physically beaten her up and least. The name calling and the comments she could easily write off as them being jealous of her extraordinary talents, as her parents and Alec told her to do.

Gracie is the one who has always been there for Alec, she is the one trying to find a way to help her brother with his problem, but Alec doesn't find it possible. He knows a way to end it and he just wants to let go, but Gracie isn't ready to give up her brother and her best friend. The past few years have been a constant struggle to keep him going and keep him around. She is determined to find a way to help him so that he can stay.
