Gracie Novin

Strike Back

Lance Corporal Gracie Novin is a member of the Australian Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) who is recruited to Section 20 at the last minute to extract MacAllister and Wyatt from Libya. She is the only member of the reformed Section 20 team who was not disgraced prior to joining the team. Novin most frequently takes on the role of driver for her squadmates, but is also a crack shot. While she is a professional soldier, she is often flippant towards other members of Section 20. Novin is less quick to resort to shooting than her squadmates. She has a casual relationship with Will Jensen, and while she rebuffs his interest in making their relationship more serious, she is distraught after his death and shows litte concern for her own wellbeing. During the events of Revolution, Novin admits to feeling survivor's guilt and puts herself in dangerous situations to punish herself. She is temporarily promoted to team leader when MacAllister defies orders, but rejects the role of an officer. Coltrane sees potential in her as a leader and suggests that her story of trying to escape "a small town with a small future" is an act as her skills and training are an over-compensation. Revolution sees her take on the role of linguist as she is fluent in Arabic and Russian, can carry out conversations in Mandarin and Cantonese and has a working knowledge of Indonesian, but claims that most of what she knows is swearing.
