Grizel is Fitz's goblin bodyguard and was first introduced in Lodestar.
Personality[]
Grizel is described as "competitive" by Sandor, and she likes to make a game out of anything and everything (for example, in Lodestar, during the searching of Candleshade, she pitted boys against girls in a game to see who could find the most important things.) Many times, she is described as graceful and tall. She is also described as having feelings for Sandor, and Sandor confirms this by saying "she has gone to lengths to make that abundantly clear." Apparently, she joined the Elvin Regiments (goblins that serve the elves) just because Sandor joined it, and she was even offered a position with the Goblin Queen's royal guard but refused.
Appearance[]
Aside from her the regular goblin appearance (seven feet tall and gray, with flat noses and massive amounts of rock-hard muscles), she is also described as extremely lean compared to Sandor, but her "stealth and grace" made up for it. She has a long, silky ponytail.

Relationships[]
Fitz[]
- Charge
Grizel has been guarding Fitz since she was first introduced in Lodestar. In Flashback, she has Fitz do goblin military training to work off his temper. She teaches him how to throw a goblin throwing star and makes him do 50-100 dead drops (sort of a handstand/push-up combination) whenever his temper flares up and he misses the target.
Sandor[]
Grizel has a major crush on Sandor, so much so that she joined the Elvin Regiments and denied joining the royal guard, all for Sandor. She even makes a game out of a search just so she can force Sandor to dance with her.
