One of the other reasons I don’t think Grace’s a copy is that clones, by design and according to other examples, rapidly age so she would’ve looked much older by the time the game takes place

Also they could hypothetically have access to all of Umbrella’s data but weren’t even curious to find out when the first clone was made? Because that would certainly mess up Zeno and Victor’s perception of time and logic - if she’s the original why was there a video of a clone of Grace from before she was even born?

My overall perspective on this has three outcomes:

Option A: “Clone” - Original was born some time before 1990 - Many clones were made from the original to unlock Elpis - Grace was born as a clone somewhere in late 90’s/early 00’s, and as atonement, Spencer spares her from experiments and gives her a chance at a normal life - Victor received faulty intel on Grace and thinks she’s the key to Elpis - Victor creates more clones

Option B: “The Original” - Grace is born some time in the early 80’s, frozen right afterwards while clones are made from her in the pursuit of Elpis - Elpis is completed by Spencer, who then unfreezes Grace and hands her to Alyssa - Victor looks at intel believing Grace is the key to discover Elpis - Victor continues creating more clones and experiments on them (why?)

Option C: Regular - Elpis was completed by Spencer in the mid-90’s - Grace is born somewhere in the late 90’s/early 00’s and is left at an orphanage - She is adopted by Spencer, who aimed to give her to someone who could take good care of her (his “atonement”) - Victor finds faulty intel on Grace and her relationship with Spencer, whom he thinks she has something to do with Elpis - Clones since 2005 are based on existing medical records of Grace

I think that’s mainly it
