Background
Gracefeel is the goddess of the flame and flux. She was a renowned deity with many followers in the Union Age but after the Great Collapse, her followers dispersed and her image became obscure over time. She became a mysterious second-string deity, even her gender was forgotten by the people and her only notable features were her hooded robe, lanterns and her parents, the deities Volt and Mater.

Her elder sister, previously helped guide the souls but she slowly grew tired as she watched the heroes she adored lose their light and decided to leave her younger sister and use her power to eternalise her image of heroes.

The Boy in the City of the Dead
She came to the aid of William and became his guardian deity at the winter solstice. She was able to grant her blessings to William and help his fight against the echo of Stagnate, the god of undeath.

The Archer of Beast Woods
She gave a warning, a vision of the future to William. It was a vision of a tragedy and disaster about to befall a settlement and due to her warning, William was able to successfully prevent the disaster without any causalities or deaths.

She came to check up on William, worried for his well-being after his first major loss in battle. She had her hood lowered and wore a face of sadness, she didn't utter a word and continued to watch over him until Meneldor was able to bring him to his senses.

The Lord of the Rust Mountains
Her herald protected William against a devastating attack from the foul dragon, Valacirca. She granted William and his party blessings alongside the herald of Stagnate against their fight against the dragon.

After the death of the dragon, she confronted her elder sister, Stagnate and asked if she would put away her power of undeath and help her guide the souls of the dead but was cut off and rejected. After the parting of the herald of Stagnate and her confession, she granted the request of the dragon-slayers to purify the land of the Rust Mountains and the regions below that were also affected, she burnt away the miasma and unholy poison that had shrouded the lands with her flames.

The Torch Port Ensembles
She healed the wounds that been inflicted onto William by the Invincible Giant, in return she would experience that which was inflicted onto him but it would relieve him of the pain and damage. After she healed his wounds, she revealed to him, her love towards people and confessed that she wanted to be loved as well. This lead to William's rash confessions of feelings of love towards Gracefeel, in response she called him a fool and explained to him that she has no body of flesh nor the power to form an echo, however, it did not deter him and his answer remained the same, she continued to call him a fool as she softly smiled.
