I just cant stop making theories hahaha, someone please help me!!
So, here it goes again:
Since the beggining there was something I couldnt explain in any of my theories: Why Luna? Why M6 didnt take Gracie instead? and now I think I have an explanation.
We need to remember that before M6 Gracie was tested and the family knew she was a genius. So, if an organization wanted to take a child of the DeLuca family, which one was the best option (talented)? Of course the answer is Gracie. So, why taking Luna instead? My first theory was that Luna was choosen because of her age; Antonio was kind of a failure due to the violence, so if someone wanted to create a "perfect ruler" close to Cordia then it was the next in line. But the big flaw in my first theory was that Gracie and The Forrest happened BEFORE Luna was abducted, and in my theory it doesnt make sense to test Gracie before Luna, or make Luna live that hell if Gracie was best option to rule in the future.
The big problem: I was too focused in Wilfred being the mastermind.
Before my new theory lets see what we know so far:
- Cordia wasnt always like she is now, in fact the way she talks about her past implies that she was having fun. But we know that she had Serpent talent, fought a war, founded DeLuca, Serpents betrayed her, and in the present she is a woman that doesnt show emotions (only in some rare moments).
- Antonio liked men (maybe woman too) and that was a problem in this kind of world. She married Isabel but one day she had an accident and lost the child, and after that Antonio changed again and became like he was in the past.
- Gracie had a big talent, and one day "The Forrest" happened (we dont know yet about that) and Luna (who was the older sister) said it was the scariest day of her life, but Gracie just dont remember anything; after that she became more similar to Cordia acting without much emotions.
- Luna and all the M6 that we all know.
If all of that wasnt a coincidence, and all those dots are connected, then theres someone in the shadows trying to "create" someone. So, follow me a little more.
What was the gain to M6 with the child abduction? And why they retrieve Luna?
They put some girls in the same place so they will become friend/family. Then after that was accomplished the new task appeared with the dogs, they were teaching them to leave moral and survive. The girls shared the food, but M6 were watching so its hard to think that they didnt know, and after some time (and when Luna birthday came) they put them between sword and wall. All of that led to suffering and a death. After that, and in the moment were Luna was more depressed, they bring Lucan (the way he looks implies he was abducted the same day as Luna) and made her kill him. And after that they made "her sister" betrayed her (and not anyone, the one she loved more), after all of that came the second place, where they made them obey and fight for survival. They tried to beak her subjetivity taking her name and saying she was a boy (and beaten her if she protest), but they failed.
There was no sense in all of what they did. And it looks like they pushed Luna more than the others, like if they were going for her soft spot. So, Luna had a friend, and she died, when Luna was happy (her birthday) they made the worst punishment so she would think it was her fault, she thought might escape or be rescued by her family but they made her kill Lucan, and the only thing she had at the end was her trust in her sisters, and they made the one she trusted more stab her.
After that she had no name, couldnt look with her left eye and was "a boy", and even when she was happy with the Caretaker they took that too.
So, my theory is that there is an organization trying to test members of this family to made them change. Maybe to "create" a new Serpent or another Cordia (if she wasnt and experiment herself). But maybe they wanted Antonio to become more serious and strict but he couldnt and became like he was in the past. Gracie with The Forrest that we still dont know what happened and if she failed or not, but she changed and became more like Cordia. And Luna with M6 but at the end she didnt break.
Another possibility around this theory is that someone is trying to destroy Cordia life, making her suffer. Probably another Serpent, because we can think as all of this as attacks against the DeLuca, so if the ones that betrayed her were trying to take revenge its plausible they did it: Antonio loved his child and they took it, Luna wanted to be a princess and they made her a crazy/violent woman "like a boy", Gracie wanted to make friends and she became emotionless like her mother.
The last part is: What about the MC?
Well, it depends on the theory, if it is the first one I said, where someone is trying to "make" or "test" others, then maybe MC was in the same situation, because all the assassination atempts made him toughen, but this leads me to Wilfred, because he probably pulled the strings to a lot of those situations and the one where MC killed another human. And remember that Wilfred said Lucan wasnt worthy of being with Cordia, and it makes sense that someone with that kind of way of thinking, and the one that is Mentor of Cordia, to force others like this.
If we take the second theory then MC has a connection with the Serpent making all of this (maybe his mother) and has a way to make relationships that can help them to heal (like Wilfred said, in other words), so someone can be trying to eliminate him, or maybe trying to make him leave the family.
