Fans tend to just see her as the damsel girlfriend but I can't remember a time where nick has once saved her life or ask him for help and this goes too Monroe and Rosalee too in the end nick most of the time has needed them more then they need him.
Monroe gives him information, Rosalee mixing tthe potions and while Juliette may not bee as useful as the rest of his friend she has helped him she was the one who found the guy nick thought killed his parents.
Basically I always thought of Juliette as a very competent woman that could be a good partner for nick as a grimm.
I like your assessment of Juliette, Fallout merc. You are right, she is a very competent woman that could have been a great partner for Nick as a Grimm.
I liked the hexenbiest story arc and thought that had a lot of potential. Juliette could have been a great help to the team or she could have turned traitor. I don't mind a good traitor story arc. I've seen really great storylines where a beloved character becomes a turncoat. Agents of Shield did a great job with their character, Ward.
That is not what happened with Juliette. We haven't the foggiest clue how she became a hexenbiest. Compare this with Adalind, who went through some complicated ritual to replace the hexenbiest Nick destroyed. Everything was completely explained to Adalind so she knew exactly what she needed to do and what would happen. Juliette was told there would be side effects. Okay. Great.
Adalind was a s**t even when she wasn't a hexenbiest. It makes sense she'd be a bigger s**t once another biest took up residence. Compare that to Juliette. She was the competent good woman who told Nick he had to be a Grimm again. She took the risk. So why is her hexenbiest the hexenbiest from hell when she took the risk for a good cause?
I know many people here are sore as hell that Juliette participated in luring Kelly to Nick's house. I understand that. I'm not looking for ways to exonerate her because her actions that night were inexcusable. However, without details about what led Juliette to make this fateful decision, I find myself looking at the entire scene with skepticism. It doesn't make a lot of sense to me that Juliette would get involved with the royals simply to get back at Nick for taking Adalind's part at the police station.
Now consider Adalind's vengeance. She had a baby. Sean and the scoobies took matters into their hands and decided Adalind shouldn't have her baby. Instead they should decide the baby's fate, which is really ironic considering none of them have children. We see everything in detail, how Adalind goes to the royals and finds that Nick and the gang had the baby all along. Her revenge is perfectly understandable. We're even told about the spell she uses to get her revenge.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
