RE: Adalind's apology - dicappatore - 01-07-2018
Hmmm 10 month old thread revived. I wonder who will be the one to complain about re-visiting old threads like they done in the past?

Over time, the "alter" personality can either diverge and become more and more different from the "prime" personality, or the different personalities can converge.
"Eve" was not devoid of emotion, she just experienced different emotions (like irritation and anger, for example), and deliberately chose to keep Juliette's walled off. The stick appeared to break that wall down and merge the two personalities for a time, until Eve put it back up. And when she did, it wasn't exactly the same wall it had been before.
While this is true in the mental health medical realm, I'm not so sure it's true here. "Eve" only surfaced after Juliette was captured and tortured by HW. Part of the reconditioning as a soldier may have been to subordinate the Juliette personality and set the Hexenbiest personality as dominant.

The reconditioning would have been aimed at creating a new personality whose purpose was to be a soldier in the war against BC. The standard hexenbiest personality described in the grimm book would be too self centered and volatile for that purpose.

Eve was not a standard hexenbiest. That may be a reason why they were able even give the hexenbiest a name of its own.
RE: Adalind's apology - FaceInTheCrowd - 01-07-2018
Hexenbiest Juliette was exactly the standard hexenbiest described in the books, just pumped up on steroids. What made Eve non-standard was whatever HW did to split her off.
RE: Adalind's apology - irukandji - 01-07-2018
She wasn't the standard hexenbiest as described by Henrietta, and Henrietta performed the test on her to prove it.

I thought Henrietta's test related more to power rather than personality. Juliette was more powerful than a normal Hexenbiest but her personality was much closer to that of a sudden of a random Hexenbiest that that the books would describe.

If there's anything about her, whether it be power or personality, wouldn't that qualify her as something different than the average hexenbiest?

If it were power, HW wouldn't want the Hexenbiest to be dominant because the personality wouldn't comply with their goals. They did "what they had to" precisely because of Juliette's personality when they took her. That's why she was different and so robotic the next time the gang saw her.

It might the first time an experiment was tried whether the hexenbiest is dominant and the alter personality is allocated to another realm of the mind. This show is notorious for showing "firsts". There's no reason why the experiment on Juliette couldn't be called another "first".
