Grazya is a character I cannot stand but who is nonetheless a fascinating and strong woman, and I enjoyed reading this very much.

However wrong her methods are (I do believe she doesn't view rape in the same way we - or John - do, but her actions are still wrong because she can see the effect it has on him and continues) she is devoted to her cause and her vision of the future. To what she perceives as the greater good. It is that phrasing as well as her coloring that makes me also believe she is part Nebari. It could be from the heppel oil...or that could just be the party line...
