Gracie's characterization as an ''okama'' in Japan vs that of a simply haughty fashionista in the west is also reflected in her name and rumors surrounding her real name: in Japan the name "Grace" is implied to either be a {{Wp|drag queen|drag}} persona or the name taken on when transitioning, while internationally "Gracie" is the name she took to sound better as a fashion designer, similiar to [[Labelle]]. In multiple games in the series in Japanese, there are rumors that Gracie's real name is {{Nihongo|なべのすけ||Nabenosuke}}, from {{Nihongo|オナベ||onabe}}, the slang counterpart to ''okama'' roughly meaning "{{Wp|butch (lesbian slang)|butch}}" or also a transgender man, and the suffix {{Nihongo|すけ||suke}}.{{Note|''suke'' (助/介) is a name suffix (often masculine) literally meaning "helper" and was used in many Japanese titles, so it also became a slang suffix for "a person who is known for doing/being ''x''."<ref>{{Cite web|author = Matt Treyvaud|title=Reach out and help someone|date = May 10, 2005|url= http://no-sword.jp/blog/2005/05/reach-out-and-help-someone.html|site=No-sword.jp|retrieved=October 16, 2022}}</ref> From this, it also became short for ''naosuke'' (なお助), derogatory slang to refer to a woman (roughly "{{Wp|Moll (slang)|moll}}"/"chick" in English).

====Fashionista Badge====
 
====Fashionista Badge====
When Gracie visits towns, she has been known to notice particularly "saucy" looking villagers. After asking them a series of fashion questions, she presents them with the Fashionista Badge, a sign of how close their impression of fashion is to her own. Occasionally, Gracie will include a moldy shirt as a subtle hint. The implication is that the receiver would look better in a moldy shirt from the Gracie line rather than what they are currently wearing. Usually, this gift is given the first time a particular individual receives the badge, perhaps in order, in a somewhat disdainful way, to teach them their proper place in the world of fashion. When talking to other animals in the player's town, the [[snooty]] and sometimes the [[normal]] villagers may give the player a clue as to what Gracie looks for in a Fashionista Badge. Wearing the Gracie shirt will give the player a better chance of getting a Fashionista Badge with a good comment. She will also compliment the player on the choice of clothes.

Gracie also gives an outfit for 300 [[Bell]]s if the player persistently bothers her. Items like the Nile shirt can be given.

In every [[First generation|first-generation ''Animal Crossing'' game]], Gracie can appear as a [[Special character#First-generation Animal Crossing|visitor every two to seven days]]. In the days leading up to her arrival, Copper tells the player that the police station is going to hold a "Bust Illegal Parkers" campaign, the date of which coincides with Gracie's visit. When Gracie is in town, Copper tells the player the acre she is parked in.
+
In {{DnM}}, {{DnM+}}, {{PG}}, and {{DnMe+}}, Gracie will visit the player's town on a random week day. The player can wash Gracie's car by tapping the 'A' button. If the player is slow, nothing is rewarded, if they are moderately fast, a regular shirt is given, and if they complete the task quick enough, Gracie will reward them with an exclusive "Gracie brand" shirt.
 
 
Gracie stands next to her car in place of a random [[signpost]]. If the player speaks to her, she asks them to wash her car. This can be done by repeatedly pressing {{Input|a|console=GCN}}. If the player is slow, nothing is rewarded; if they are moderately fast, a regular [[clothing]] item is given; and if they complete the task quick enough, Gracie will reward them with one of 30 exclusive "Gracie brand" clothing items.
 
  
In all the Japanese games and {{iQue|nolink}}, Gracie is male. In {{PG}}, she is female but still has a male voice.
+
Despite being female in the international release of {{PG}}, Gracie retains her male voice from the Japanese version, which sounds exactly the same as a [[lazy]] or [[jock]] villager.

In {{WW}}, Gracie can visit town on a random weekday, standing in front of her car outside [[town hall]]. When spoken to, she gives the player a four-question quiz about fashion. She then hands the player a Certificate letter containing a rating based on the player's answers as well as a clothing item. A low rating rewards a {{I|moldy shirt|WW}}, a medium rating rewards a {{I|subdued print|WW}}, and a high rating rewards a random [[Able Sisters]] clothing item.

After the player takes the quiz, speaking to Gracie four more times prompts her to ask for an offer from the player for a clothing item. Depending on the number of Bells offered, the player will receive either an Able Sisters clothing item or an exclusive Gracie clothing item.
