Dr. Grace Delaney was the Lab Chief of the Grimsborough Police Department. She is also the current Chief Medical Examiner (Coroner) of The Bureau.

Appearance
Grace has light green eyes, auburn hair, and dark red lipstick on her lips. Grace usually wears a pink blouse with a laced end underneath a white lab coat.

In her tenure in the Grimsborough Police Department as the forensics expert and lab chief, she had long hair tied to a ponytail resting on her right shoulder. The left side of her lab coat read "GPD" and she wore an earth brown office skirt. She also wore a black necklace with a brown ring in the middle.

In her tenure in The Bureau as coroner, she cut her hair to chin length. The left side of her lab coat now has a pocket with a scalpel and two brushes. Her necklace is now gold with a triangle in the middle.

Introduction
Grace was introduced in Corpse in a Garden, analyzing a tooth provided by Jones and the player.

Good Cop Dead Cop
After arresting Harry Landry for Ed Dunkin's murder, Grace adopted a puppy which had been abused and misstreated by Angel Martinez. She felt sorry for it, so she kept it as her pet and named it Newton, which comes from the name of the famous scientist, Isaac Newton. She later participated in the dog pageant with him in the Dog Pageant competition.

Relationship with Luke Harris
Grace appeared outside of the lab for the first time after the trial of Patrick Rufio. She was hanging out with her fiancé, Luke Harris, in Desmond Galloway's Antique Shop. The two met with Jones and the player when they arrived to check up on Desmond. Luke asked for the team's help to find and put together an oil lamp of Desmond's which he had accidentally broken. The team then found it and pieced it back together, and then gave it back to Desmond, much to Grace and Luke's appreciation to the team.

In the murder investigation of Lisa Edwards, Grace is shown to be very protective of Luke during the events of At the End of the Rope, in which Jones and the player talk with Luke two times, angering her. After Penelope Rivera was tried for murder and willful deception, Jones had the need to check up on Luke to make sure he was still in Grace's good side.

Working with children
During Tom Blackwater's murder investigation, Grace agreed with Chief King to dress herself as an Amish woman to tend for Isaac Hersberger in order to avoid offending the Amish population during the investigation. In Grace's absence from the Forensics, the Coroner, Nathan, filled-in for Grace during the investigation.

Grace is shown to be compassionate of children as showcased after Jenny Honeycomb had been arrested, when she tendered for Sarah Mills in the rooms of the Grimsborough PD. Upon completing Sarah's leg of the Additional Investigation of An Elementary Murder, Grace admitted that she was asthmatic when she was a child (she had frequent breath shortages), but in college she learned how to cure asthma so that it would not bother her during the events of the game.

Good Girls Don't Die
Grace was the player's sidekick in this case since Jones was busy with the complaints by the citizens of Maple Heights and the case was too serious for him.

There Will Be Blood
At the climax of this case, the player accepted a position in the Pacific Bay Police Department, but not before Cathy King and the Grimsborough PD threw a farewell party for the player. Grace took some time to tell the player that she would never forget the day little Newton was brought to her lab, and to conclude, thanked the player for it as Newton grew up to the best dog she has ever had.

In Plain Sight
It is revealed in the World Edition that Grace had quit her job as a forensic expert and lab chief in the Grimsborough Police Department to work in an Antarctic research base. She then applied to work for the Bureau as a coroner, with Chief Ripley showing approval of her résumé. She had also cut her hair at one point in time. After the Bureau's previous coroner was arrested for Lavinia De Brills's murder, Chief Ripley said that the Bureau (sans Lars) would be going to her research base to try to hire her.

Ice Rage
Grace accepted the position as coroner from Chief Ripley. She met with the player for the first time in over two years and explained that she worked as a physician in her research base, while also doing studies on cell regeneration in extreme climates. However, she immediately went to work as coroner when Julia Lloyd was found murdered outside the research station.

Grimsborough
As the Forensic Expert of the Grimsborough Police Department, Grace has the responsibility of taking care of all the necessary physical, biological, and/or clinical analyses, and to inform the team of such results after a certain amount of time or a speed-up process using Criminal Case Cash. Her task-wait rates will vary depending on the difficulty of the task, but they all cost 1 Criminal Case Cash per 30 minutes.
