Editing My Little Mahou Shoujo:Grace Leong (section)

==Background==

Grace Leong is from a wealthy family, but a newly wealthy one, her parents having made a great deal of money through starting businesses, selling them, and then investing the money in more businesses. They gave her daughter everything that they could. She was trained in Baguazhang from a young age to encourage her grace, and she's a skilled performer. Her family provides many wonderful things for her-- beautiful clothes, her own car, training and tutoring-- and she does enjoy them. The fact that she's naturally beautiful and athletic doesn't hurt, either.

But deep down, she *knows* that she doesn't really deserve them. Not for just being born, especially.

Therefore, she does two things to try to "earn" the gifts she's had in life. For one, she drives herself to be the *perfect* daughter-- to never bring shame to her family, to never appear less than their beautiful, graceful, perfect daughter, to never fail. That part hurts her, although she doesn't fully realize how much. But the other thing she does is much more rewarding-- she tries to help everyone around her as much as she can. She's always giving her time, her attention, her money to help her friends, or anyone in need. She'll work hard to help a clumsy student in Bagua, to buy a beautiful dress for a friend for the school dance, to raise money for a charity... often to the point of self-neglect.

She desperately needs friends who will encourage her to relax, and look after herself. But she also needs a cause to make herself feel valuable and worthwhile...
