I was thinking this exact same thing, and that the lack of regular heated arguments and over indulgence must be equally weird for it. House's lady is such a quiet, polite woman these days. Has she finally finished puberty?

[X] Prismatic Arrangement of Creation Style
All options are cool, but this is the one that feels best suited to Grace as a person and the work she tends to be given imo.

Less than 60 minutes. Vote could still go either way between prismatic and emerald, but Charcoal is a full 16 votes from taking the lead.
Prismatic : Anti-Sorcery fisticuffs, mimic genuine elemental effects of dragonblood anima banners instead of using illusions, good with materials sidereals are normally terrible with, Meditation and study on various different types of essence both exalted and not as part of training, can possess and hide inside objects.
Emerald : Time manipulation, loops, future vision, the works, though limited. Abstract thought and substance training. Mentor grace.
I favor Prismatic personally. Essence meditation and study appeals more than abstract thought and substance abuse, especially with Gazetteer's flare for describing interesting locations.funny thoughts like Grace pulling some of Ambraea's anima tricks and possessing her fancy new pen to avoid an uncomfortable conversation are also a motivation to pick it.

Prismatic is the "ambush you from your teacup" martial art?
Sold.

Yup. Also, given Ambraea's own studies into essence, having Grace take prismatic would give them some interesting talking points, especially when it comes to Verdigris and Ambraea's ability to absorb him intact into her essence. Academic bonding for the win.

And so it turns out that there will, in fact, be a maiden someday...
My voters are pretty consistently cool about it, even with contentious votes like this one. I've always really appreciated that.

Hard to not be cool about it when the options themselves are overall consistently cool, irrelevant of which of them we individually find the coolest.

So cool. All the martal styles are sick as hell, and it looks like we are getting a style very similar in aspects to Doctor Strange, using time, while the others use fate? And its still only the first specialized style we are learning...
Though I think even in an insane setting like Exalted most variations of Strange would be absurd?

Doctor Strange isn't really a perfect match for most Exalted thoughts. Sorcery is just... different in the two settings.
That said, every Sidereal is inherently given a connection to fate. They try to trouble-shoot when a destiny goes badly awry. Grace just now will know some ability to bend time in weird ways in furtherance of her goals and the goals of those around/with her.
I think it's likely (but nowhere near confirmed) that Grace won't get another of these types of martial arts throughout the quest.
