The way I connect with my children is directly influenced by how my mother connected with me. In my case, a positive mother/child relationship prompts me to follow her footsteps. In the same way, my parents having a loving, family oriented relationship influenced my expectations of marriage and family.
I probably tend to do the same with a fictional character, relating to Adalind based on my personal experiences as a daughter/woman/wife/mother. But, there will be some disconnect between real life experiences and the life of a fantasy character. I can’t completely relate to Adalind as a Hexenbiest daughter/woman/wife/mother in the Grimm/Wesen world and might as well beat my head against the wall as try to force the character to fit my limited experiences.
And I think that holds true when discussing Nick as a cop. A real life cop can't relate to apprehending and cuffing an angry Blutbad as part of his/her routine day.
