Grell's pre-reaper headcanon is here.
Personality: I will be using the female pronoun throughout this application.
In her disguise as a butler, Grell is meek, clumsy, and has a a tendency to try to dramatically kill herself over mishaps that she creates. But as a death god, Grell is flamboyantly expressive, and everything is exaggerated when it comes to things she is passionate about. She holds nothing back, which makes her seem over-the-top. She also has a theatrical way of speaking, sometimes using allusions or metaphors, for example, to describe people and situations. Right off the bat we can already see that Grell truly lives up to her vivid red hair, and that she dislikes anything mundane. She'll make it a personal mission to spice things up.
She has the ability to be compassionate, but this trait would only surface when something can hold a particular interest for her, such as Madame Red's murderous rampage. She could relate to her as Grell yearns for a child of her own but cannot bear children because she is male. In the end she is still a death god, and the affairs of humans are merely for amusement. Deep down, she doesn't really care what happens to a human. As long as things remain captivating, she will go along with whatever plan.
Grell believes a true lady must always care about her appearance, and because of that she is overtly vain and protective of her looks. She takes great offense to anyone who says otherwise, and with an already slightly unstable mind, she will become easily angered, perhaps even violent over a mere insult. She even wears makeup and fake eyelashes to complete her look. She loves the color red, and will go to great lengths to see the beautiful shade splashed all over. The thrill of a good fight only heightens her anticipation at seeing warm crimson rivers flowing along the battlefield and gushing like a wondrous fountain from her enemies. Another obsession she has is for men who play hard to get. She loves a challenge.
As a death god, Grell is desensitized to human life, seeing it as not holding much meaning. Viewing so many cinematic records leads her to assume that no one life is different from the next. Sure there are exceptions, but on the whole this is her primary belief.
Life is nothing but a play, with humans taking on various roles, and in turn Grell doesn't take life too seriously. It is why she does everything with zest (besides paperwork). Grell's been a reaper for centuries, so why live life only halfway? She does have her moments of seriousness, but they tend to be only when necessary. Her suspension due to her rule breaking actions has made her sober up a bit, but she truly has no regrets about what she had done. Why should she? It would change nothing.
Powers & Abilities:
Grell cannot cook to save her afterlife, so do not expect any meals to be cooked. She cannot make tea, as shameful as that sounds. She's getting better, little by little.
Grell has excellent agility, allowing her to leap far distances. She is able to appear and reappear in different places in the blink of an eye with her instantaneous movement. Her evasive skills are impeccable, useful for protecting her face. She has the ability to call forth and hide her DEATHSCYTHE at will, but is utterly useless without it. She is adept with bladed weapons of all sorts, if only for the purpose of causing bleeding, which she strives for as the goal of her fight. This makes her dangerous, because she doesn't care for her own safety when in the heat of battle. Grell is able to change her appearance on top of being a first rate actress (her opinion, of course, but true). Mostly his hair color and teeth are changed when she alters her look with a special comb. Her hair color turns a dull brown and her normally shark-like teeth are just like any other person's. Those with the ability to detect that she isn't human may be able to sense that.
All reapers possess the following abilities: soul collecting, playing a person's cinematic record of their life when cut with a scythe, enhanced speed, power, and endurance compared to a normal human. They possess very poor eyesight without their glasses. Everything is a blur in the daylight, and just forget about seeing in the dark without them. It's impossible.
All reapers have the ability to instantaneously move from one place to another, no matter the distance. I'm limiting this to only:
-People whom Grell knows beyond the level of 'acquaintance'. So if she met someone once, but never got their name at the least, she cannot appear to them instantly at will. If she knows their name, and face (since people can have the same name) then she can appear to them anytime she wishes.
-Places Grell has been to before. She cannot travel to an unknown place instantly.
-If she is in possession of the book that keeps records of deaths, then all the above is nullified, and her movement is limited to those within its pages, no matter if she knows them or not. The book must be in her hands and open for the effect to work.
What items will they be bringing with them to Discedo? She'll have her DEATHSCYTHE, her special comb, her usual attire, and the book of the dead, for lack of a better name. Her weapon has the ability to cut through anything, except another DEATHSCYTHE.

Third-Person Sample:
At last! This moment that had been built up by all the others had arrived. Morpheus fought gallantly, which she gave praise by outstretching her arms above her, palms open to receive his blessing to continue on another day. Grell applied her war paint, adorned her battle wear, synthetically dyed red, and marched to her battle of the wits. With such weak and narrow minds surrounding her, she had easily triumphed.
Her sharp, inked blade slashed across lines, sometimes dotting them. This day, as any other day, this trinket would be all she needed. Finely plucked brows knitted together in frustration, while her green eyes looked about. All her cohorts moved like lightning! The pressure was enough to make her hurry her weapon. Those thin and severely pale monsters would show no mercy on her, and neither would she. They attacked in large numbers, and it seemed like there would be no end in sight.
That was not her only hurdle. A blond haired demon with a devilishly decadent disposition came waltzing through, intent on wooing all the females in the room. The wild creature was relentless in his prowl. The redhead became distracted easily, allured by the unfolding, and inevitable, rejection. It was as if squeezing water from sand. She shook herself from her daze and continued on. As she had done so, a mountain of sharp edged monsters tumbled over her, burying her whole.
It would take extra time to fight her way to the exit.
Hours had passed, and the sun traveled a small distance over its usual orbit. With clenched teeth, her foes fell before her one by one! Even the once cloudy sky parted in response to her victory. And then, that moment had arrived in the nick of time.
It was time for lunch.
"YEESSSSSS!"
First-Person Sample:
[She turned it upside down, then sideways, before scratching her head in confusion. The background shows the inside of an apartment.]
What contraption are they trying to stick me with NOW? [She holds the communicator in her hand, but her arm is down, so the feed shows nothing but her pants leg.] Really, they could have given us a warning.
[She walks past a mirror and drops the communicator in shock.]
...no...this...this can't be...
[There is a growl of anger, and an angry foot stamp, which is all that could be seen from where the communicator is.]
How dare someone play such a hideous joke! Beauty such as mine should not be...diluted! Whoever thought this was funny will suffer!
I will make them yearn for a sweet and quick DEATH!
[The sound of something shattering becomes audible. That mirror took the brunt of her anger.]
