She talked about being the "best Hexenbiest she could be" without having any real idea what that involved. It's a path leading only to evil, abandonment, desolation, and finally, death.

Really? Hunkering down with a sleazebag like Kenneth didn't make it obvious enough?

A different meaning for you, perhaps. Sorry, but anyone who voluntarily sleeps with someone like Kenneth deserves to have that kind of label slapped on them.

But is that all it is with hexenbiests? Just necessity? I was thinking that there is a heritage to these witches. Many of them were skilled healers. I didn't care for Catherine, but she seemed to know her stuff when it came to bringing Juliette out of her coma. Adalind seems to deal with her hexenbiest differently. She almost seems embarrassed by it.

Nick is a grimm out of necessity. He doesn't go out of his way to hunt down wesen. He deals with them as they cross his path. Why should being a hexenbiest be any different if they so chose? Hexenette embraced everything about that and ended up exacting violence and mayhem of epic proportions and had to be forcibly dialed back in order to function. That's not the same thing as shying away from being a hexenbiest. Monroe and Rosalee don't walk around in full woge, none of the wesen do. The blutbad and fuchsbau comes out when they deem it necessary because someone is threatening those they love. Whatever embarrassment you're referring to is probably due to her past misdeeds. Both women are wary of what they did when they were at their worst as hexenbiests, Catherine had no compulsion to be good so her "conscience" was clear because she didn't really have any. Her treatment of Adalind upon losing her powers shows how emotionally detached/cold she was to even her own daughter. She was proud of what she was so no need to hesitate, shy away or be embarrassed by being a hexenbiest, especially when it gets her whatever she wants.

Well, this is why I lost all respect for Juliette when she became a Hex. Her battle cry was that a Grimm would kill a Hex on site, if he had the chance. Meanwhile Juliette was a witness to Nick not killing Adalind, Henrietta and Elizabeth.

She was well aware that he had no ill feelings for those women. He was sort of, on guard, in their presence but he was never on the war path. If you go back to the Bee episode. He ended up protecting Adalind, asa Hex, let alone, let the Queen Bee kill her.

No, it's not only misdeeds. In the other thread you wrote how Nick started seeing Adalind as more than just the mother to his son. Well, what exactly is Nick seeing? Just what he wants to see? Shouldn't a big part of what he sees include her hexenbiest heritage? If this is the great and wonderful union that produced a hybrid son, why should Adalind have to shy away? Juliette/Eve gets criticized for embracing the hexenbiest, like it's some form of cancer because she does so whenever she wants. Adalind doesn't embrace it like Eve does, and so all she's praised for is how great she gets along with Nick, like that's all she's good for. Hexenbiests are not entire evil walking amongst the innocent. Adalind shouldn't be have to practice restraint. She should be able to utilize her hexenbiest whenever she so chooses. All I'm saying is it appears she shies away from it because it seems she's in an environment which consists of Nick and the kids, who appear to disapprove of her being a hexenbiest at all.
