Grata, also known as Odd Grata, is a minor character in Horizon Zero Dawn.
History[]
Odd Grata is a Nora outcast, although why she was banished and how long her sentence is is unknown. Additionally, the reason why she is known as Odd Grata is unknown.
Horizon Zero Dawn[]
Aloy and Odd Grata.
Grata lives alone in a simple camp, on a mountainside close to Rost and Aloy. Being too elderly to hunt for herself, Aloy would bring her meat. Keeping in line with tribal law, Grata would never speak directly with Aloy, instead using prayers to All-Mother to request help.[2]
Grata is only ever seen kneeling in prayer somewhere in her camp; however, she also at times made the journey to the Overlook Climb to pray, at one point losing her prayer beads there and indirectly requesting Aloy to retrieve them, which she does.[2]
Personality[]
Grata is extremely pious, devoted to All-Mother and praying nearly all the time; the only time she is heard speaking is when she is praying to All-Mother.[2]
Grata strictly follows Nora law and therefore does not speak to Aloy, much to Aloy's annoyance.[3] However, Grata indirectly addresses Aloy under the guise of praying to All-Mother. She expresses whatever gratitude she has to Aloy through her verbal prayer, perhaps ensuring that Aloy does hear her while also obeying the Nora law prohibiting speaking to outcasts.[2]

Trivia[]
- The name Grata might be derived from the Latin word "grata" which means "thankful".
- It is widely speculated by fans that Grata was the Brave that lost a mate and two sons to the twelve outlanders who invaded Mother's Vigil and was who crossed the border to pull Rost back across it into the Sacred Lands after he collapsed at it, breaking taboo.[4] If true, this could be why she's an outcast and would explain why Rost shows particular concern for Grata's needs.
- Grata shares the same face paint as Kam and Yun.
- It is possible to receive two sets of prayer beads by taking the long way around over the North Gate first.
