And I don't trust Ransom or Elaine.

Then there was the bit about almost destroying the Predator during a sneak attack on his home nation. Im not saying the readers wont ever get to a point where they trust her, but I suspect that there is too much baggage between them for Grimm to ever fully trust her, and that such doubt would stand in the way of her becoming a Varg or Marcone style Trusted Enemy character. If we have to compare her to existing JB characters, she's the Elaine of the story, in my mind. The one that you just cant be sure which side they're on.

Yeah, Elaine is probably the best analogue for her that we have so far. In the end, though, Elaine has come through for Harry despite him not fully trusting her.
Some of the other main characters will probably have to work with her eventually. Grimm will complain about it, but we'll get a better sense of her without his bias.

And her not fully trusting him, given how things went in WN. Im still on the fence about her, but a lot of that has to do with the lingering questions surrounding Justin's death.

Agreed. And in her defense, she was acting in legitimate wartime style. Just because Grimm is ridiculously loyal to Albion doesnt mean she has any roots there or owes them any loyalty. I have a feeling that most of what we saw from her is the mask she wears in public, playing the role of Pirate Captain, but that there's still some hidden depth under there.
