6 Reasons NOT to hate Grace
Like she was 8 when Tatiana literally bought her and she was trapped in a house that was never cleaned(most people would have gone crazy) with Tatiana a.k.a. THE MOST CRAZY PERSON EVER.
Then Jesse here is her “brother” in every way except blood since she can remember (she can’t even remember her real parents so that is even worse for her), is nice to her and secretly teaches her to fight and then later just comes along and dies. She follows along with whetever Tatiana tells her to do because she thinks it will bring THE ONLY PERSON SHE CAN REMEMBER WHO WAS NICE TO HER back to life. Even Lucie wants to bring Jesse back to life(he is that loveable).
3. THE LACK OF EMOTIONS IS NOT HER FAULT
Along the way, Tatiana turns her into her emotionless weapon so Tatiana get back at the Herondale(and all Shadowhunters). So the lack of emotions is not her fault it is Tatiana’s.
4. TATIANA’S WELL DONE MANIPULATION
Grace sees Tatiana as the only mother she ever had so obviously she would like to please her, but she was also slapped by Tatiana many times so it’s a weird relationship.
5. SHE DOESN”T WANT TO DO THIS
When James comes along, she low-key doesn’t want to do this, but she is pretty much is controlled by Tatiana because she wants Jesse brought back to life and she is afraid of Tatiana. So she has to do it.
She takes off the bracelet(gracelet) when her mother is “ill” because she isn’t there to control her, that just proves that it isn’t Grace that wants to do this it is Grace’s fear of her mother and her desire to bring Jesse back to life, plus she probubly thinks Belial can do anything because come on he can make Grace able to contol men and makes the Loyaly Binds Me bracelet(what can’t he do? Come down to Earth, but Grace doesn’t know that) like anyone with common sense would be afraid of him. EVEN THE MERRY THEIVES, CORDELIA, AND LUCIE ARE AFRAID OF HIM(with good reason). She is scared enough to use a power that she doesn’t like and try to escape Tatiana.
Therefore, yes Grace made a lot of bad choices but she is reedemable, just as Alastair made a few bad choices in the Academy but is still very much reedemable. Grace is simply misunderstood by the fandom. If you got this far down then thank you for being open-minded enough to read this.
