Background: Wiki Page I'll be taking Grell from Chapter 64, right before Ronald Knox collides with Grell.

Personality:
I will be using the female pronoun throughout this application, as that is usually how Grell refers to himself throughout the manga, and for coherency sake.

In her disguise as a butler, Grell is meek, clumsy, and has a a tendency to try to dramatically kill herself over mishaps that she creates. But as a death god, Grell is expressive, and most things are embellished in the purplest of prose when it comes to things she is passionate about. She holds nothing back, which makes her seem over-the-top. She tends to have a theatrical way of speaking, sometimes using allusions or metaphors, for example, to describe people and situations. Right off the bat we can already see that Grell truly lives up to her vivid red hair, and that she dislikes anything mundane. She'll make it a personal mission to spice things up.

She has the ability to be compassionate, but this trait would only surface when something can hold a particular interest for her, such as Madame Red's murderous rampage. She could relate to her as Grell yearns for a child of her own but cannot bear children because she is male. In the end she is still a death god, and the affairs of humans are merely for amusement. Deep down, she doesn't really care what happens to a human. As long as things remain captivating, she will go along with whatever plan.

Grell believes a true lady must always care about her appearance, and because of that she is overtly vain and protective of her looks, going so far as to wear false eyelashes and nail polish to complete her style. She takes great offense to anyone who says otherwise, and with an already slightly unstable mind, Grell can become easily angered, perhaps even violent over a mere insult. She is infatuated with the color red, and will go to great lengths to see the beautiful shade splashed all over. The thrill of a good fight only heightens her anticipation at seeing warm crimson rivers flowing along the battlefield and gushing like a wondrous fountain from her enemies. Another obsession she has is for men who play hard to get. She loves a challenge, which could be her downfall if exploited by others.

As a death god, Grell is desensitized to human life, seeing it as not holding much meaning. Viewing so many cinematic records leads her to assume that no one life is different from the next. Sure there are exceptions, but on the whole this is her primary belief.

Life is nothing but a play, with humans taking on various roles, and in turn Grell doesn't take life too seriously. It is why she does everything with zest (besides paperwork). Grell's been a reaper for centuries, so why live life only halfway? She does have her moments of seriousness, but they tend to be only when necessary. Her suspension due to her rule breaking actions has made her sober up a bit, but she truly has no regrets about what she had done. Why should she? It would change nothing.
