=== Appearance ===
Graves is a short, slim young woman with pale white skin. She has green eyes with dark makeup and long eyelashes, black lipstick and fingernails, a hooked nose, and short white hair with bangs covering the left side of her face, with a top knot on each side. She wears a red Blackmore Academy uniform jacket with a white shirt, a uniform gray skirt over 3 layers of black skirts leaning to her left side, pantyhose ripped at the knees, fingerless black gloves, and worn black boots. She carries a backpack with a skull motif and has a green pin in her jacket, a spiked bracelet in her left hand, chains over her skirt, black pendants in her chest in the shape of a skull, and a pair of black coffin-shaped earrings.
Her weapon is the necrotic severed hand of her lich mentor, flaming green. She carries her Deadhead skulls in a green jar. Her ghouls are skinny green undead humanoids with black legs and a floating skull head burning with green flames, like the lich hand.
