Grace Delaney

"...And because I know every minute counts, I went straight for the kill..."

- Grace Delaney

Grace Delaney is the head of the Forensics Laboratory of the Grimsborough Police Department who has the responsibility of handling physical, biological, and clinical forensical analyses.

Appearance
Grace, 32, has auburn hair and light green eyes. She wears a dark red lipstick and a black necklace with a brown ring in the middle. Grace usually wears a pink blouse with a laced end underneath a white lab coat. On the left side of the coat, there is logo which reads "GPD" (Grimsborough Police Department). Other than that, she wears an earth brown office skirt.

Notable Events of Criminal Case
Grace was introduced in Corpse in a Garden.

In Good Cop Dead Cop, 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.

In Dog Eat Dog, Grace participated in the Dog Pageant with Newton.

Grace appeared outside of the lab for the first time during the Additional Investigation of The Ghost of Grimsborough. She was hanging out with her fiancé, Luke Harris, in Desmond Galloway's Antique Shop. The two met with the team 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.

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 during the investigation of Lisa's death, angering her. After Penelope 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.

In The Devil's Playground, 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 in An Elementary Murder, when she tendered for Sarah Mills in the rooms of the Grimsborough PD. Upon completing Sarah's leg of the Additional Investigation, 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.

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

At the climax of There Will Be Blood, 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'll 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.

Personal Life
Grace has a fiancé named Luke Harris, the Film History professor of the Grimsborough University, as mentioned above.

Analyses
As the Forensic Expert of the Grimsborough Police Department, Grace has the responsibility of taking care of all the necessary physical analyses and informing the team of such results. Grace will ask for a wait time as long as 12 hours, but may ask for a 15-hour wait (starting from Case #55) in two circumstances, or 30 Criminal Case Cash. The current speed-up rate is 1 Criminal Case Cash for every 30 minutes. Grace is the only team member in Grimsborough to ask for 15-hour wait times.
