002. ..........…............ꕤ

gracie is a chaotic individual, that’s for sure. she has an unwillingness to follow the beaten track. she always has progress, and improvement on her mind, whether that be in her career or in her own physical wellness.
an unusual, rebellious, and revolutionary spirit. if there’s something she doesn’t like, she absolutely will speak up on it, regardless of the consequence.
she is confident, charismatic, and lively. she can be opinionated, restless, and stubborn, but also bright and ready for an experience.
she always does remain grounded though. she has people around her that help her with that. she hates outdated and one track minded thinking, and longs to express her creativity in her own means. though she can be swayed on many things, gracie can be a pretty stubborn person. she stands on her values, and openly speaks out for marginalised communities, and against many forms of prejudice. it often gets her in the papers, and the media love to dogpile on a woman when she’s clearly speaking sense. she tries to not let it get to her.
though sometimes aloof, and occasionally standoffish, gracie is a genuinely nice person to be around. easy-going, curious, tolerant and observant for sure. she’s actually really intelligent, and very witty - loving to use her intelligence as a way of humour. though gracie will also try and help people see through superficiality. she hates that shit. she wouldn’t go as far as to be one of those cringe be who you are and never change yourself, but if she sees someone putting on that sort of act in a way that is clearly tryhard, she’ll be like … fuck you doin’ that for, ye melon?
she is independent, autonomous, and has progressive ideas. she is independent but friendly, always easy to be around and to make friends with. freedom means everything to her. she celebrates the individual, and she loves to enlighten others. though when it comes to finding out truth, she can often be blunt in doing so.
when she was on the pitch… gracie was a nightmare for her opponents. in the sense of both her ability to seamlessly weave through defensive walls, and ragebaiting her opponents. taking jabs as and where needed. and those who do understand and take it as a complete joke, that it actually is, they hold well in her good books. even in her punditry, she takes the piss. and thankfully those around her are good sports and know it's a joke. but seeing the meltdowns online and the blatant misogyny towards her having a joke around with her friends just makes her laugh and riles her up to do it more.

extra.
- gracie has a very thick scouse accent. she very kindly adds subtitles onto her segments on shows. whenever she's conversing with jamie carragher, they both defininitely need subtitles.
- she's starting a podcast called 'the yappatha christie diaries.' she brings on footballers, past and present, and just asks them random questions about anything. absolute carnage. think gk barry podcast meets basement yard.
- she collects k-pop albums. her biggest collection is of seulgi of red velvet, who is her ult bias of all time. she also has a full f(x)'s krystal and aespa ot4 collection.- she also collects vinyl. her favourite is her limited edition press of 'the mountain' by gorillaz.

childhood. ................. ꕤ

gracie was born and raised in liverpool, england. and from a young age, the girl's life revolved around football. growing up in the area of the anfield stadium, she was often running about, playing curbie in the street with the other kids on the block. and despite not really having any money, she had pure joy in life. when her paternal grandfather passed away from cancer, in his will, he stated that part of the money he left for inheritence was to be used for gracie to join the liverpool fc academy, to achieve her dream.it took a fair few rounds of tryouts, and trying to calm her nerves before she finally made it, becoming an academy hopeful for the biggest club in the entire world. she continued at the academy level before becoming a first team player for liverpool fc's women's team in 2020, at just 16 years old. she was known for being an absolute powerhouse in the midfield. however, her career was short lived.after the 21-22 season, where she helped the liverpool fc women's team to be promoted back up to the wsl... she got a devastating diagnosis. after complaining about constant pain in her joints, difficulty with memory and concentration, etc - gracie had to run many many blood tests, before being diagnosed with fibromyalgia. she was desperate to continue training. but it got far too strenuous for her. she was flaring up far too often. so heartbreakingly, at just 18 years old, gracie had to retire early, after winning the 2022 euros with the england women's national team. her last hurrah, was one of the best trophies one could ever get.

post-retirement. ... ꕤ

despite the heartbreaking outcome of her footballing career, the love of the game never left gracie. she was tuning into matches constantly. she was attending matches even as a neutral to see former teammates, or just friends she made in the industry. and after completing her a-levels at college, which she was doing alongside her career, she decided to move down to london to attend the university of east london; beginning her degree in sports journalism.during this time, she was in talks with multiple stations who invited her to interview footballers, after seeing her close bond with many of them and her own natural, bright energy in front of cameras in her own interviews. soon enough, the girl was appearing every champions league match on screens alongside massive names in football such as thierry henry, jamie carragher, micah richards and gary neville - who is often the victim of gracie's banter.though she may not be able to play anymore (yet the idea of appearing for occasional legends matches does come to mind for her), she still keeps her love for football, and the people around her, at the forefront of her mind. she adores her job. especially now after getting her degree as of 2025. she's currently travelling around canada, the united states and mexico with the england men's national team for the world cup.
