“

Where's my eye? Where?

„

Alela Grora is a supporting character of The Gray Garden. An angel who wields a bow, she enjoys teasing Wodahs and she despises Ater for having taken her eye.

Appearance

A 150 cm tall angel with elliptical white wings, Grora has long, dark grey hair tied into two ponytails, as well as an ahoge. Her eyes a similar shade of grey, she wears an eyepatch over her (absent) left eye, also donning a grey coat over a white skirt and white, collared blouse. Her coat is secured by a light grey strip down the center with 5 buttons on each side, and her sleeves are rolled up slightly.

Grora also wears a flag-shaped headpiece on the right, as well as black stockings and dark grey boots. During the war, she wore a halo around her ahoge, which she wears no more.

Personality

A somewhat laidback angel, Grora has very little care for respect and treats both higher-ups and juniors casually. While she constantly wears a smile and is kindly towards her juniors (namely, Yosafire and co.), Grora has very little tolerance for those who get on her bad side (namely Ater & Rieta).

Although not clearly shown, Grora is rather protective of those close to her, nearly getting killed while trying to retrieve the teleport stone to help the girls, and checking to make sure the Head Angel was alright before commencing battle. She is also a formidable opponent, capable of massacring a barrage of Flame Bats in one hit, and being able to land a few hits on Rieta with Wodahs' assistance. Her reflexes and strength are also outstanding, being able to detect Rieta's presence and being able to draw her bow with ease.

While very relaxed in general, she shows a clear dislike of Ater in general, showing a rather vengeful side and long-lasting memory, and also shows disdain when Yosafire comments that she and Wodahs look alike.
