| “ | You are letting your heart lead you astray with a woman who's got the ibi in her. | ” |
— Galvin's grandmother warning Galvin about Macy
| ||
Galvin's Grandmother, known affectionately as Granmé by Galvin, is the deceased grandmother of Galvin Burdette. She held a significant role in life, revered as a Haitian priestess. At some point during her life, while undergoing a dangerous trial performed by the Chiriji to test her courage, Galvin's granmé lost the index finger on her left hand. In a protective gesture for her grandson, she placed a cowrie shell on Galvin when he was an infant to shield him from demons.
History[]
In "Manic Pixie Nightmare", Galvin explained how his grandmother may be able to help Macy find some answers to ridding her demonic side, but they would have to contact her beyond the grave. Macy was hesitant but eventually agreed. Later, Galvin and Macy Vaughn reached out to her with the assistance of psychic Mama Roz. The three of them perform a seance, and Granmé's spirit possessed Mama Roz to communicate with Galvin. She noticed the protection mark was gone and immediately attacked Macy when she realized Macy had the ibi (darkness/ demonic influence) in her. When Galvin tried to stop her, the spirit put Galvin to sleep so that they could talk alone within a dream without being overheard. Realizing that Galvin was in love with Macy, she told him what needed to be done in order to free her from the ibi.
