I'll be honest, Grace is a bit of a nutcase. She is warm, kind and compassionate, but she had a very burning revelation early in life. Ever since, she has been living in hopelessness, knowing that try as she might, she cannot hold back death. When she meets with the Doctor, she tries to operate on his gunshot wounds and ends up killing him, not knowing that he is an alien. And so the eighth Doctor makes it part of his mission to let Grace see the happier side of life.
