Ys: Memories of Celceta[]
As the Governor General of Celceta, she quickly began to win popularity among the people of Casnan by working to improve the public services of the region – something previous Governor Generals had largely neglected to do. She hires Adol and Duren to help map the uncharted expanses of the Great Forest of Celceta.

Griselda is one of the last castaways Adol's party finds. She boarded the Lombardia to return from a routine inspection and washed up on the northern part of the island when the ship sank. She shows lots of interest in the Kingdom of Eternia's ruins.
Laxia asks her if they met before, since Griselda resembled a princess she met at the Imperial capital, which Griselda denies, along with any ties to nobility. Griselda also wanted them to treat her as just another castaway, despite her standing.
In the side quest "Old Monolith", Griselda asks Adol to find the other half of an Eternian monolith she found. The monolith contained information called the "Truth of Eternia", about the Great Tree of Origins and the "Three Principles", the Eternian theory of how the world was created. Griselda pointed out how this theory was very similar to Tritheism, an old religion centered around three gods.
In her Approval Event, Griselda gifts Adol her Jewel Brooch as thanks for his help. She continues to warn Adol that he attracted the attention of certain individuals inside the Romun military. She also asks for Adol's opinion on the Romun Empire before expressing her own discontent with the Empire.
