✩₊˚.⋆☾⋆⁺₊✧ Head canons of Grace and Kyle being Twins (or step-siblings, idk)
-Grace is basically the annoying little sister of the popular gang, they here are more used to her because, back when they were little, Mark and Karen always made Kyle take Grace along with him everywhere.
-The only ones Kyle has been able to bring, and continues to bring, to his house are Brenda, Stacy, and Jason, since Steph and Max are banned from the Chasity home after making certain comments (Steph for talking about things that the Chasitys didn't approve, and Max for openly flirting with Grace).
-Kyle is the kind of brother who picks his sister up in his arms and spins her around wildly until they both end up dizzy on the floor, and also the kind who walks into his sister's room just to fart, turn off the light, and leave the door open.
-Kyle gets better grades not because he studies more; his test scores remain terrible, but because he does his assignments... kinda, he copies them from Grace. Kyle simply sneaks into her room in the middle of the night and steals it to copy (Grace is a very heavy sleeper). She has hit him several times when she checks her backpack and doesn't find the homework she did the day before.
Grace often leaves baked goods and sweets that she makes in Kyle's locker whenever he has practice. Sometimes Kyle feels like Grace is trying to fatten him up, but he doesn't complain.
-Kyle is Grace's official taste tester; whenever she bakes or conducts experiments, he’s the one who tries them out. Back when they were younger, Kyle often got indigestion because of this.
-Grace steals Kyle’s T-shirts or buys shirts featuring her guilty-pleasure bands and "gifts" them to him so her parents won't give her a hard time, only to end up wearing them herself anyway. As a result, Kyle owns various band tees and merch items he isn't even familiar with (the Chasitys are more lenient with Kyle, assuming he was just going through a "phase").
-Kyle went to abstinence camp once and never returned; whenever summer approaches, he makes sure to load himself up with so many chores that his parents wouldn't even consider sending him, even though they try to convince him to go, if only for his sister's sake.
-Kyle isn't a jealous brother; honestly, he's super laid-back. Grace, on the other hand, is very jealous, which is why Kyle has never told her about his relationship with Brenda; he’s not sure how she’d react. Honestly, Kyle is more afraid of Grace than of his parents.

-When Grace begins working for the LIB, her physical and mental condition deteriorates significantly; she neglects herself since her entire purpose in life has become serving her new Lords, often disregarding personal hygiene or forgetting to treat wounds from her missions until they become infected.
-The Libs aren't exactly kind; they enjoy keeping Grace on the verge of a breakdown, especially when a victim of hers is already dead. Grace is often tormented by the spirits of her own victims or by hallucinations of Richie, Ruth, and Max. However, the Libs tend to use Max to drive her toward aggression, while using Richie and Ruth to keep her in an unstable state.
-When the hallucinations become overwhelming, Grace gets drunk; the alcohol numbs her senses, sometimes putting her in a state where she can’t even process the hallucinations. Plus, the smell of alcohol is much easier to get rid of than the smell of smoke. She has called Kyle on several occasions (or people called Kyle) so he could come pick her up.
-Kyle had to watch his sister deteriorate both mentally and physically; he knows something is wrong but doesn't know exactly what. All he knows is that one day Grace came home in a bad state (the night of the sacrifice), and although she managed to hide it from their parents, he heard her crying in her room (their rooms are next to each other). Yet, he doesn't know how to bring it up with her, so when he goes to pick up Grace (helping her throw up and pull herself together before heading home), the only thing he’s managed to gather is that when she’s drunk, she babbles incoherently, begging for forgiveness and saying she’s scared, though she never reveals what she’s afraid of.
- When Grace can no longer stand the paranoia that people view her as a suspect, urged on by her mentor and The LIB, she runs away from home to stage her own disappearance and finally get the police off her back (also to seek out victims elsewhere). It's a devastating blow for Kyle when the news arrives that Grace has not been found.
-Sometimes Grace returns simply to spy on her family; she never interacts with them, just watches them from afar. Her mentor always tells her not to do that, since it will hurt more when she has to leave.
