Her Hexenbiest - what she believed her only viable protection - had been killed, and she’s alone while Nick & Renard have become allies. Factor in her immaturity and it’s not a stretch that’d she’d be a bit unbalanced. Adalind’s future had an opportunity to diverge from her past when she felt the mother/child bond with Diana. Adalind didn’t change because of Nick. Kelly, Renard, Nick and his group derailed the life change Adalind had already chosen.(02-26-2017, 04:17 AM)Nicholas White Wrote:(02-26-2017, 01:01 AM)syscrash Wrote: I have always thought the Diana and Eve are part of the same ritual.

The ritual was done way before Juilette became a Hexenbiest. It wouldn't make sense. Also Adalind went through the same ritual and has no residual effects.
Adalind was less stable person with a different personality before Nick got his powers back. Maybe their was some residual effects.

If there had been no Nick none of the people would probably have crossed each other's path's , that especially includes Monrosalee. You may not think that's true but why else would any of them actually have met each other if not for Nick? Adalind wouldn't be involved, hence no Diana no Kelly so the royals wouldn't have been around at all and Sean would just be Nick's boss and Juliette would never have been a hexenbiest. Just my opinionCompletely agree. Eliminating Kelly and the kidnapping from the scenario also eliminates Nick loosing his Grimm and Juliette becoming a Hexenbiest and Eve. But introduce a stick that ushers in a prophesy, and voila, everything is up for grabs. Suddenly the characters were never controlling their actions or destinies, it was all preordained. Kelly could have died before kidnapping Diana, and the prophesy would have manipulated events to get Diana to Portland with Nick & Juliette.
That Juliette is connected to Diana and the ritual instead of Adalind is the writers focusing on a core character rather than a tangible result to their storyline and fans twisting the result to favor their preferred female character. Either way, the disappointing result is a storyline akin to fanfiction.
