Katsa's Grace in Graceling

In the book, Graceling, Katsa has a "grace", a special skill that makes her different than others. Katsa's grace allows her to be an unbelievably skilled and seemingly undefeatable killer. Her best friend Po, who also has a Grace, notices that not only does she excel in combat, but that she never tires, doesn't need to sleep, and barely needs to eat. Katsa discovers that killing is NOT her grace. What do you think it could be? Why?

I think Katsa'a Grace is Endurance. Endurance is the ability to go on, and keep going despite fatigue/hunger, or stamina. I think this because Katsa can keep going even when most wouldn't be able to. She also lasts even when most would past out/die from hunger or lack of stamina.

I think her grace might be stamina because she doesn't have to sleep, she can fight amazingly well and not eat. this means she can go along time doing something.

I'd think it'd be survival. She has survival skills that actually just HELP her killing skills because part of surviving is living through a fight.

i think it could be being lucky because she doesn't need to sleep, she doesn't need to eat and she survies and excels in wars

I think that her grace is survival because she builds fires very easily and she can hunt animals really easily. she also never gets cold or hungry.
