I'd recently been reminded of a Sheryl related issue I thought might be worth discussing.
I really like Sheryl, but there's something about her storyline that bugs me, and that's her relationship with Grace. Supposedly Grace picked Sheryl up on the streets of Galaxy when she was very young. Presumably she was also heavily involved in Sheryl's upbringing. Problem is, the two of them don't interact as if that's the case. Even if it wasn't a close relationship I'd think there ought to be some reflection of the fact that there was one. (And while I don't know how accurate TV Tropes is, supposedly the drama CDs indicate that Grace ended up being fond enough of Sheryl that she had to rewrite her personality to delete those feelings.) |

Grace's intended to use Sheryl as a tool to begin with, so naturally she would keep her distance and avert getting too personal. Inevitably, with whatever little humanity Grace has remaining, she eventually developed some feelings for Sheryl (though to what extent we do not know), which Grace thought was a hinderance to her plans. Thus Grace thought the obvious course of action was to delete those feelings. - Tak

Oh I get that part. The problem I have is more how Sheryl acts around Grace. Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions in thinking that Grace basically raised Sheryl, perhaps that task was given to someone else. But someone obviously had to take care of her because at that age she wasn't in a position to do it herself (at least not properly). So it kind of bothers me that Sheryl doesn't really act like Grace is someone who was involved in her upbringing. I would think even if it was a very distant relationship there would be some indication in the way they interact.
On a vaguely related note, TV Tropes also indicates that Grace manipulated events to put Sheryl in the position she was in when Grace picked her up in the first place. Again, don't know if what it said was one hundred percent accurate but it's certainly an interesting take on events. |

Actually, I think the relationship between Sheryl and Grace is very profound. Not as evident as Sheryl and Alto, but once you catch the nuance it's very hard to ignore... We have this typical parent-child relationship with Ozma and Ranka. Ozma protects Ranka, he loves her, cuddles her, spoils her. But it's different with Sheryl and Grace. You can't imagine Grace spoliling Sheryl, can you? Grace might have provided Sheryl with shelter, clothing and food. But I don't think Grace gave her parental love. I mean, she's basically a mad scientist, capable of sacrificing almost anything for her research. Grace isn't the type to love, make family and raise children. The bond between Sheryl and Grace is more of a sisterhood thing. Grace is the big sister, competent and hard working, very focused on her goals.... yes she's a villian, but I think Grace was kind of a role model for Sheryl while growing up. Sheryl is the little sister who respect her big sister, following the way Grace holds herself, picking up the way how Grace puts on her make-up, maybe wearing her perfume secretly from time to time, things like that. So, Sheryl doesn't think Grace as her parent, nor does she act as such. She's cheeky from time to time, causing Grace troubles, but there's always faith underneath that her big sister will just laugh it out. Like how Grace came to Sheryl's aid just in time in episode 3, and the way they smiled at each other.(Or how Sheryl smiled at Grace...) |
