Gracie Fields

Outer characterization

Gracie is one of the main characters in the film Rabbit-Proof Fence (2002) directed by Phillip Noyce. She is introduced as one of the three young girls who are forcibly taken from their Aboriginal family and sent to the Moore River Native Settlement in Perth. Her cousins are Molly and Daisy, with whom she initially escapes.

Inner characterization

Initially, when the girls are taken to Moore River, Gracie expresses a liking for the place, contrasting with Molly's negative perception. This suggests that Gracie may be more adaptable or willing to accept their new surroundings. When Molly suggests they run away, Gracie initially refuses, not necessarily because she is scared they will be caught like Daisy is, but because she likes Moore River (00:30:10). However, as Molly and Daisy prepare to leave, Gracie joins them, likely not wanting to be left behind.

Throughout their journey, Gracie displays vulnerability and reliance on Molly's leadership. She depends on Molly for guidance and reassurance during challenging situations. At the same time, she frequently questions and challenges Molly, which shows that she still doubts whether they will be able to make it home wit...
