Grace-A-Monsters have a bit of a different perspective on the whole "fighting" thing.

I sincerely doubt that's a safe / comfortable / etc way to carry a person of Gracemander's size, but GOSH DARN IT, it's cute in a comic.

Gracemander is drawn with a side ponytail, though it switches sides whenever it's convenient for me. It's something I'm not sure I'd do to such an extreme under normal circumstances, but it certainly has its advantages (such as showing Justin's face in the first panel).
