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.(09-12-2017, 05:41 AM)rpmaluki Wrote: In the end, they both used their hexenbiest as per necessity.
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.
