What I am arguing is that after confessing to the truth she hasn't shied away from what she is. Nick has seen her several times as a hexenbiest, he's asked her to perform a spell (6x02), she's offered to perform a spell (6x03). She's pulled the hexenbiest out for necessity (6x11 and 6x12), why else would otherwise? It's not like she spent every waking moment in hexenbiest mode even before she lost her powers and was a villain. She used her powers as per Renard's instruction and to taunt Nick.(09-13-2017, 12:44 AM)rpmaluki Wrote: Whatever embarrassment you're referring to is probably due to her past misdeeds.
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.
You see shyness and restraint, I do not. I see someone who's now choosing to use her hexenbiest for the wellbeing of those she loves, that's not shyness or restraint in my book. Adalind will always have her past inform her choices today and the day after that and the day after that and so on. It's her choice to use her powers as she sees fit because she cares how that affects those she loves. Catherine, whom you've cited had no such desire and was driven to be whatever her hexenbiest drove her to be. Hexenette was driven by bitterness and anger and embraced the violence that came with it, as Eve and now as a combo of Eve/Juliette, she's driven by different urges than those that caused her to lose everything and no longer wants to lose herself to her emotions as she did in the past because she associated that with something terrible.
