The Green Grace is the high priestess of her order, the Graces of the Ghiscari religion. There appears to be only one Green Grace in each Ghiscari city.[1] The Green Grace at the Temple of the Graces in Meereen is Galazza Galare, for instance, and there is an unnamed Green Grace at the corresponding temple in Astapor. "Your Benevolence" is a style used to refer to Green Graces.[2]

The Green Grace of Meereen, Galazza Galare, acts as an advisor to Daenerys Targaryen, Queen of Meereen.[3] Two of Daenerys's favorite cupbearers and hostages are Qezza and Grazhar, cousins to the Green Grace.[4]
The Green Grace of Astapor remains unnamed. During the siege of Astapor, their Green Grace has a vision that Cleon, the Butcher King, can save the city from the besieging forces of Yunkai, despite the fact that the man was already dead and buried. The corpse of Cleon is fitted back into his armor and strapped onto the back of a starving horse, which leads the remnants of his new Unsullied on a failed sortie. They encounter a legion from New Ghis, however, and are all killed. For her failed prophecy, the Green Grace of Astapor is impaled upon a stake in the Plaza of Punishment and left there until she dies.[5] Quentyn Martell, one of the besiegers, recalls the priestess in her torn robes, impaled upon a stake and attended by a cloud of glistening green flies.[6]
