Thing is, Gracie isn't fragile, she's similar to Cordia which is what she wants to stop.
She isn't protecting Gracie, she's protecting everyone else. Gracie has the potential to make Luna look like a fluffy pussy cat in comparison.
Imagine someone highly intelligent that can read you like a book, knows exactly what you are going to do before you do it and has no issue carving the flesh from your loved ones while singing along to Spice Girls to drown out their screams ... all the while wondering what flavour ice cream she wants later.
Gracie isn't fragile, she potentially the most dangerous person in the game.
Oh, she is potentially dangerous, I agree. But she doesn't strike me as a psychopath, either. She is highly intelligent, a genius, but it doesn't mean that she is lacking empathy. She is just much better at controlling her emotions, analyze, rationalize and filter them before letting or showing anything out. Generally, the more intelligent people are, the better they are at controlling themselves. This doesn't make them psychopaths.
She can just switch off her empathy for outsiders when needed, to protect the people she loves. And probably wouldnt have issues carving someones flesh when required, while singing to Spice Girls to drown the screams and help herself to concentrate and suppress her own emotions. Doesn't mean she would enjoy doing it or that she would do it for fun.
To be honest I think Gracie dont have any emotions like human beings, I think she just tries to mimic it fit in society. Even in the flashback Wilfred had about Lunas and Gracies childhood, Gracie didnt show any emotion except the time she cheated Luna and make her jump on "uncle mustache". She have insticts like being horny or protecting family but she really dont show any real emotion at all (except hate towards Isabelle) through whole story.But Gracie, who inadvertently sees Trino's corpse after coming in to Cordia's office to ask her mother something, doesn't bat an eye, and act exactly as she normally does in cheery self.
That's one of the events which shows why probably you'd see people say Gracie has lack of empathy (other than her scaring the crap out of MC after the Isabel freezer event, even if it was a poor joke from her end).
I think she had a childhood trauma too. In rooftop Gracie talked to MC about she and Gracie go to the woods, she dont remember remaining of the day but Luna says it is one the worst, scariest days of the Luna and she didnt even talked about it later. Guys, Luna suffered in the hands of Mysterious Six, if she dont want to talk about that day, chances of something exteremely bad happened and Gracies mind locked down some part of itself is very high I think.I guess I don't remember the story that well, it's been quite a while since the last update when I played it last time.
But I also don't remember any proof to that claim about the lack of empathy. What has she done to prove it? Skinned neighbors cat for fun as a child?
Even if Cordia believes that she does lack empathy, she could just be wrong about her.
I must oppose you my friend, with such strongly potrayed characters like these personalities, an incest would destroy all the story and immersion, I am glad we wont see any incest in the gameI am super sad though that there won't be any scenes between Gracie/Luna or Gracie/Codia since Hope said that there won't be incest :'(
