Grace (Grainne) Marlowe

Grace Marlowe, known as Grainne in her home of Glenscar, is the younger child and only daughter of Edwin and Anthea Marlowe, and sister to John Marlowe.

Early Years
Grace grew up in Scardale House alongside her brother. Her power of fire calling was evident when she was quite young, though only Katie could help her control it.

A Widow In Waiting
She is first shown in the novel under Sean's care, quite literally burning with fever, and being transported home to Glenscar to find a cure. The cause of her illness seems to be bound up with Thunder, the tempestuous king of the Warbirds, a Traveler clan.

She attended the same young ladies' school as Isabel de Maine, and through Isabel, she and Eleanor (Langley) de Maine's friendship blossomed - as did her brother's romance with the Widow in Waiting. As for Thunder...well, he's another story...

Powers
Grace's power is fire calling. She is fairly well practiced at least as early as eight years old, though during "The Christmas Cat", she is told to be careful with her powers as Katie, her fellow fire caller (and, presumably, tutor) isn't there to help.

Other Names
Her call-name amongst the Warbirds is "Ember".
