That was totally reactive behavior. Adalind didn't just decide out of the blue to leave because she figured everyone would be safer. She did it because Conrad threatened to kill Nick and Kelly. And everything she did while she was trapped in that house was in response to something someone else did. She sent a warning to Nick because other people were on the way to kill him. She did the trust me knot because Nick asked her to. She stayed in that house until Nick decided she should leave.
Adalind thought she had to go through the mirror because Eve had decided to go there rather than wait for skull guy to come after them. And when she fought with Zerstorer, it was because he was attacking. None of those situations were of her making either.
In that case, I could then argue that Adalind from the earlier seasons was also reactive since, after taking orders from Renard, she went against Juliette only because of what Nick did to her. She allied with the Royals because of what Renard did to her. I never saw her take control of anything, other than deciding to sell her baby in order to get her powers back. Sleeping with Nick was also in reaction to Diana being taken away from her and was not her own initiative, instead she was forced to do so because Victor ordered her to do so. She believed it was the only way to get her baby back. I think that's the main difference between Adalind and JuliEve, even when Juliette was her old self, it was her own initiative to help out Nick and his crew. Adalind was a survivor but she was also far more reliant on others to help her out. That's why I said before that Adalind, despite being a hexenbiest, represented the traditional feminine role in the show.
