Juliette like I said was cold and aloof, and more demanding of Nick than adalind. Adalind seemed more affectionate, warm and wiling to compromise with Nick. I don't know if it's down to how the actresses interpreted their characters, but if juliette had been more like adalind in season one, I think people would be more sympathetic to her character.
In the beginning of the series, Juliette was a reactive character. Most every situation she was involved in was something that happened to her. I think that was what Bitsie meant when she described Juliette as "passive." Adalind, OTOH, was proactive. She got into situations through her own actions, even if those actions were sometimes on the instruction of others. Hardly anything ever just happened to her.
As the series progressed, Juliette gained knowledge that enabled her to react to situations more assertively, but she was still just reacting. The turning point came when she decided she was going to kill Adalind, and from that point on, she was proactive and nothing ever just happened to her again, as either Hexenette or as Eve. Adalind, OTOH, reacted to Juliette's attempt on her life by seeking protection, and from that point on she remained reactive until the end of the series.
I think Adalind was proactive when she decided to leave Nick and take Kelly with her to live with Renard, it was a foolish plan but it showed that she still did things independently from Nick. Also, after she told Bonaparte the whereabouts of Nick's loft, she asked Diana to help inform Nick that Bonaparte was coming for him at the loft. She was also willing to jump into the mirror world to help save Juliette, even though she knew that there was a chance she couldn't come back again. I think Adalind became less willing to be involved/proactive because of her children. To me, they were her main priority, Nick came second. I have no doubt that if Nick and the others hadn't been there to help protect Diana and Kelly from Z, Adalind would have taken things into her own hands and did all she could to either fight off Z or be on the run with her kids.
