(Oh my god, this is only the thing I’ve always wanted to be asked. I hope this is @walkingnorth, because this seems like a you question. Gah, so excited!)

So, I assume we’re talking Graceling by Kristin Cashore, which is totes on my to-be-read again list, and needs to be added to my book recs.

I’d love to say I’d be graced with speed, or agility, or maybe even fighting, but I’m not like the naturally: so I’ll be practical. I think that honestly, I’d be graced with a tactician’s mind. That’s right up my alley, and would fit with my really powerful memory skills. I often have memorized all my friends, and roommates, schedules, and can recall with relative ease. Perhaps, I’m already graced… Let me check to see if my eyes have changed! 

(Needless to say, every king would want me in their court, like any Grace with value. But I’d only serve Bitterblue, or work for the Council.)

Also, I would like to be Graced with something like being able to handwrite copies perfectly, or being able to always cook a dish simply by smelling the finished product. the last one would keep me really round though, I suppose.

Also, I already know my grace eye color: left eye purple, right eye a grey so dark it looks black.

Thanks for this ask: it makes me want to write ladies fighting and saving kingdom. They’re my absolute favorite kind of girls to write.
