Grace (or rather Fall-from-Grace, as The Nameless One ends up calling her) is the tanar'ri, a member of one of the demonic races in the Planescape: Tormentuniverse, and more specifically – the succubus. Like her predecessors, she was designed to seduce with a perfect body and the unbridled passion for mortals who would fall into her snares. But she didn't want this. In her youth, her mother had sold her to the mortal enemies of the chaotic tanar'ri, baatez, the servants of order (though equally demonic). Convinced that they would soon take her life, she no longer worried about her fate. Fall-from-Grace, however, achieved freedom in an improvisational duel.
In the baatez community, however, she was never considered a full member. The Tanar'ri, on the other hand, considered her a traitor to her own race. Fall-from-Grace tended more towards the philosophy of the former, controlling the passions and focusing on exploring the world through sensory experiences and slowly analyzing them, rather than losing herself in physical passions. However, strong empathy did not allow her to fully accept the conduct of the baatez. Therefore, she became an outcast in every community where she appeared.
In Sigil, the city where almost the entire action of Planescape: Torment takes place, she founded the Brothel for Slaking Intellectual Lusts, where her employees, for an appropriate fee, offered honest and original conversations to guests. Well, at least in most cases (one of them liked, for example, casting increasingly sophisticated curses). When The Nameless One appeared in the city, the Fall-from-Grace abandoned her business and followed him, first to Ravela, then to the Fortress of Regret, ultimately fighting fiercer than any other representative of her race and sacrificing her own life for the protagonist.
