Research on Zenless Zone Zero Grace

Hello everyone, today we are going to analyze the character Grace Howard.

ZZZ Grace Name Meaning

As usual, let's start with her name. Both the first and last names, Grace Howard, are relatively common. Grace means "elegance" and in the Bible, it refers to God's grace. Howard can be understood as "noble guardian," and in British history, it's a surname associated with nobility. Currently, in the game setting, Grace is adopted by Koleda's father, so it's unclear if her name was given by him or if she had it originally.

ZZZ Grace Appearance

Now, let's talk about her appearance. Grace has a very athletic and efficient look, with orange-tinted goggles on her head. A small detail on her goggles is a charm on the left strap with letters and a small lightning bolt, which is Grace's personal logo.

This charm is like an anti-counterfeit tag on sneakers, stylish and unique. Next, let's look at her hair. Her hairstyle and color immediately remind me of...

From within the game to beyond, Grace has always carried an aura of heroic and spirited elegance. Just like the ZZZ Grace figure, it perfectly replicates that sharp and capable demeanor, with every detail exuding sheer coolness.

ZZZ Grace‘s Outfit

Grace has a short ponytail at the back, tied with a grenade safety pin. This really reflects the ruggedness of Belobog Heavy Industries

.

There is also a small lightning symbol on the collar around her neck.

Continuing downwards, she wears a zippered shockproof sports vest. This type of vest offers good control over the chest area and the front zipper design makes it easy to put on and take off. However, its downside is that it sacrifices comfort in the chest cavity.

The vest also features a functional chest pouch on one side, designed to fit seamlessly with the vest, making it look like a single piece. The pouch is small, seemingly only able to fit a walkie-talkie.

Grace also has two modular small pouches on her right rear, though this position seems inconvenient for her to access.

Further down, we see two grenades hanging from her waist, with different models on her waist and leg.

The one on her waist is used when she unleashes her ultimate.

while the one on her leg is for heavy attacks.

An interesting detail is that as Grace's attack sequence increases, the grenade on her leg lights up.

To the right of the waist grenades is Grace's electrician's tool pouch. Judging by the size of the tools, Grace's work seems quite detailed.

The white garment under her waist pouch, with its lock ring design, suggests it has a multifunctional cape-like emergency use.

The strap hanging down her leg not only secures the grenades but also holds weapon bullets, likely nails.

Grace's Weapon

Speaking of which, let's talk about the weapon Grace holds.

It appears to be a modified fusion of a Vector and a nail gun, also featuring Grace's lightning logo.

The glove on Grace's right hand is relatively thick, seemingly offering some heat resistance.

There is a distinctive pattern on Grace's right shoulder. It looks regular, unlikely to be a birthmark, and its light color suggests it's not a tattoo. My guess is it's a scar from being burned by hot machine parts.

Grace's left hand is equipped with a mesh sleeve and fingerless glove, with both arm sleeves realistically reflecting the state of someone working outdoors.

Finally, let's look at her leg design. Her knees follow MiHoYo's classic asymmetrical design, with a knee pad on the right knee.

To summarize, the genius of Grace's design lies in its combination of personality and fashion with a functional aesthetic that matches her job role. Small design details, like the lock rings on her clothes, are often overlooked but bring the image of a long-time, frontline worker to life. This immediately shows that Grace is far from being a mere decorative character; she seems to be constantly contributing to the game's world.
