Whether or not either of them are fully true is up for debate, but that doesn't stop him from being the light of the party when needed. Being someone who needs material for such banterous remarks as his own, Grant found himself constantly feeling the need to keep an update on everything that is going on, something that may flaw his future. It keeps him occupied if he wanders throughout crowds to fantasise over the latest news. However, if there is one rule he knows to abide by, he can tell if any humorous remarks are necessary, and can remain serious to situations not considered a laughing matter. From his early introduction to horses, Grant can be considered a quick-thinker; his ability to keep his wits about whilst in motion had been noted by his uncle, though he stated there was much progress to be taken at the time of the note's creation. With small groups of friends, Grant can be seen as a comforting boy, due to the nurturing of animals from his home, often ensuring they all receive any relief of tension whenever it is needed. Some of the kids said it's his most likeable trait, but Grant can be quick to deny it. On top of this, he loves to sketch, draw or do whatever can to satisfy the arts in creativity. For himself, it is what he considers his most talented non-combat trait.

Originally hailing from the West, reasons that were unexplained to Grant resulted in him having to leave on a 'Business Trip' with his Uncle, Mateo Julius. His father remained back at the town, stating that someone needed to ensure that all of the trading caravans were kept in order and the stallions were kept in line during their long tour. It confused him as to why no one else came, but that never struck his mind. The next year of his life would be an amazing and exciting experience. The pair followed a clockwise pattern, starting on the Western District, to the Northern, Eastern and concluding on the Southern District. Between each district was a difficult journey, but it picked up the chance for Grant to further progress his skills in horse-riding. One of the lead stallions, a black thoroughbred named Rhys, soon became Grant's prize possession, enjoying any galloping trips along the way. Whereas it became apparent that he wasn't to do much in any of the trades, any free time he had was either spent socialising with the current district's inhabitants, hearing amazing tales from other citizens or generally galloping around the streets whenever he could. During his stay in the Northern District, one caravan trader's son, Luca Isina, took the liberty to giving him the nickname 'Swifty', due to the speed Rhys could provide for Grant. Luca, more specifically, was a close friend of Grant during his stay. They were so close that Luca eventually snuck away from his own caravan and into Grant's, soon hitchhiking on their journey around the walls. The two picked up an interest in learning about the Military Branches, where they grew and excitement and lust for information seeking telling more tales of bravery to the children. The two remained friends all the way to the Shiganshina District, where they planned on storming around the streets on horseback whilst Mateo delivered his final trading deal. Why waste the opportunity? The two were only going to be staying in the area for a short time. Well, they'd have to get permission from the Stationary Guardsmen within the area, but with their interest in their branches and military backgrounds, they'd get along fine enough for them to look the other way. Grant knew that this was going to be the greatest conclusion to their trip, and when he would return, he could pursue a life within the walls with a promising career. At least, that was the plan...
