Phoebe

Phoebe is the Weird Sister of Grace.

Characteristics

She can be distinguished from the others by her blond hair. She is supposedly more gentle and kindly than Luna and Seline (although she was just as eager for the destruction of the Avalon Clan as were the other two).

When Phoebe is ascendant, the Sisters are the Graces. [1]
