Grim’s Memory and Height

Grim says that he does not remember his family:

“I remember wakin’ up hungry and alone. It was real cold. I was waitin’ out there for someone to come get me for ages. What happened after that again? It’s all so foggy…”

In the prologue Grim says that he was waiting for the black carriage to come for him but it never did, presumably because “that dark mirror’s got no eye for talent,” so he “took the initiative” and came to NRC himself.

One of the more curious gaps in Grim’s knowledge is how he doesn’t seem to know where NRC is: he reacts with surprise to how remote the island is after Ace explains it to him, which begs the question how he was able to reach Sage’s island in the first place (and from where).

Grim does not seem particularly concerned about the gaps in his memory, saying, “I’m a forward-facin’ kinda guy anyway! The future’s way cooler than the past! Especially ‘cause I’m gonna be a rich and powerful sorcerer!”

He does seem to remember that he was called “Grim the digger” back home, though no information yet on where his home was.

Grim says, “This ribbon’s all I’ve worn for as long as I can remember!”

When Epel wishes to become taller during Wish Upon a Star Grim says that he’s never had a growth spurt, so “maybe I’ll wake up taller one of these days!”

Deuce says that Grim can’t expect to grow the same way they do as he is not human and Grim insists, “I’m sure I’ve got more growin’ to do! Just you wait, Deuce! I’ll be towering over you one day! I’ll do whatever it takes!” Epel responds, “I hope you can grow bigger too, Grim.”

Grim also comments on using stilts to become taller than Malleus during Glorious Masquerade.
