granger arrived at the parish church to a shocked congregation, leading her to remark: "you were expecting a bloke - beard, bible, bad breath. and instead, you got a babe with a bob cut and a magnificent bosom." she is a bonne vivante and a liberal woman who enjoys nothing more than a good laugh, much to the consternation of her primary antagonist david horton. despite her fun-loving and sometimes outrageous behaviour, she is deeply caring and does her best to help those in her parish in any way she can. she is well aware of her obesity but seems to take a relatively laid-back attitude toward it. a self-confessed chocoholic, her favourite being smarties and curly wurlys, she has innumerable chocolate bars hidden throughout her house (even in hollowed-out bibles). on one occasion, she gives up chocolate for lent and nearly goes mad but does succeed. she has an enormous crush on actor sean bean.
