So from what we can find in game, I don’t really see why Lace is the favourite child of granny while Phantom was all but banished. I think Phantom is the older sibling, hinted at by the rugged and dirty clothes instead of Laces perfect white attire. So is it just that? Lace is the new favourite toy till the next one would have been made?
Contrasting that are grandmas action in Act 3, they are a strong point that she genuinely cared for Lace. So I find it strange that she just abandoned one child for the other. If she really only cared about ANY of her own children caring for her, as revealed in the dream dialogue, she should have been happy after Phantoms creation, no?
Anyone got some good ideas about that?
I think it’s less that Grand Mother cared about her children themselves, but more about how well they fit what she wanted them to be.
Kind of like the stereotype of the beauty pageant (or ballet, or cheerleader) mother.
Phantom was the failed first draft child, and a disappointment.
Lace was more successful, given that she doesn’t suffer from the physical decay affecting Phantom.
Thus… discarded child and favored child.
Too bad then, I thought maybe there was some redeeming quality about Granny.
