Then, she passed through the Contaminatio Ritualis and then got another hexenbiest 'spirit'. That said, Adalind was not an hexenbiest anymore. think with me: Nick made Adalind's powers go away. Since she turned into Adalind using the reverse spell she did to turn into Juliette, it is easy to assume that was the reason. After being brought into the world of Grimms and Wesen, Trubel became an ally to Nick and his friends. So for her mentally to justify her existence, it's, “I have to work with Hadrian's Wall, and I need to help suppress the Black Claw wesen uprising.” Is Trubel related to Nick?Īfter finding out that Trubel was actually a Grimm like him, Nick took her to the trailer and showed her Aunt Marie's Grimm books. She was so out of control as Juliette she was wreaking destruction everywhere and she could have killed Nick. For 18 years, Nick believed that both of his parents had died in a car crash. Her first appearance is in the last episode of season 1 (episode 22). She even surrounded to Renard and Black Claw lessening her own power and surrender her self-preservation as a means to protect Diana and Kelly.Kelly Kessler Burkhardt (played by Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio) is Nick Burkhardt's mother and is also a Grimm. She was able to do it as well using power to protect those she loved and loved her instead of for personal gain. It also allows for real growth and ability to show that she wanted to be different and wanted to have a family. It showed being a hexenbiest wasn’t what made her be selfish and vengeful it was her past and her own choices. Her changes served heavily as a point against the prejudice within the wesen community. An example would be the second time she lost her powers she didn’t end up wanting them back, as she feared who she would become and Nicks reaction, no longer feeling the need for that much violence. You know, more so than Adalind or Renard who are both Hexenbiest could ever dream of being.
And they just want to kill them and vice-versa, which is why Juliette took so long to tell (Nick) the truth, because she was terrified. Having really loving people around really changed her. Because the Hexenbiest are basically they’re mortal enemies of the Grimms. She shifted to wanting the survival of the family. After having Diana and escalated faster after Kelly her identity shifted more towards protective in general and less baseline survival. She has a deep understanding of how power systems work but still gets eaten by them.Ī large amount of her self-perception seemed tied up in sexuality, appearance and the power of being a hexenbiest. Adalinds actions often verge into vindictive, though Her attacks often have a sexual or romantic element to them.Īdalind worked hard on a visceral sense of self-preservation and an ingrained need for power. had to fight long battles against horrific powers to save the one she lovesĪdalind is a deeply messed up person who often turned to revenge as a tit-for-tat relationship.
