Biography
Early life
As a woman, Queen Grizella was revered on Drahva. (AUDIO: Triumph of the Drahvin [+]Loading...["Triumph of the Drahvin (audio story)"]) She was exiled following the fall of the Drahvin Empress and the transformation of Drahva into a republic (AUDIO: The Armageddon Chair [+]Loading...["The Armageddon Chair (audio story)"]) and knew that she would be treated differently off-world, but she was still disappointed by how women were treated in the wider universe.

The Eternity Club
Grizella became part of the Eternity Club, (AUDIO: The Armageddon Chair [+]Loading...["The Armageddon Chair (audio story)"]) although she could not remember how she came to join it. (AUDIO: Triumph of the Drahvin [+]Loading...["Triumph of the Drahvin (audio story)"]) When Bernice Summerfield agreed to help find the Ascension Pennant for 312, Grizella helped her track those that he had saved from a dying sun to New Catafalque, but declined to join her on her search. She began to warm to Benny, having previously not liked her, and read a book by Virginia Woolf at her suggestion, although she incorrectly interpreted Woolf as a warrior queen in exile. (AUDIO: The Armageddon Chair [+]Loading...["The Armageddon Chair (audio story)"])
Grizella was aware of the history of the City of Parroon and led an expedition there so that she could share her deliberately inaccurate interpretation of the nuns' story to remember them as powerful warrior women rather than slaves. Although she had Pym send Benny with the group as support staff so that her presence would add an authenticity, Benny openly disagreed with Grizella and she eventually admitted that she knew her claims to be incorrect and that she had been attempting to rewrite history. During the expedition, the men were attacked, and Don Erasmus killed, by a psychic echo of Sister Lost. (AUDIO: Triumph of the Drahvin [+]Loading...["Triumph of the Drahvin (audio story)"])
Personality
Queen Grizella had no issue with formulating her own interpretation of history to suit her agenda and remember things in a better way. (AUDIO: Triumph of the Drahvin [+]Loading...["Triumph of the Drahvin (audio story)"])
