For Juliette, the experience was more visceral. A rising tide of power and unwieldy emotion overwhelmed her. What percolates in those born a Hexenbeist, boils over in any who are made that way. Her Jealously, anger and frustration are amplified to the melting point. And the more she feels it, the more the Beist side nurtures it. Until she is nothing but a raw nerve. Too much for anyone to manage. Hadrian's Wall broke her down and built walls to contain what amounted to a overheating nuclear core. Some of that structure remains, even after it's fractured by her near death and encounter with the stick. And in the time since those walls were first constructed, the half-life of that fallout inside of her, has decreased. The two halves, wall and fire, can coexist now. Tempered by time and an understanding of what's inside of her, that she lacked when the wound was new. For Adalind, the situation is different. When she was pregnant with Diana, and the force returned, that power was divided. When Juliette became Adalind and reversed Nick's curse, Adalind's power was fractured yet again. Diana, Eve and Adalind are bonded by the same spirit. This is why they share a telepathic tether. When Adalind took the suppressant, she thought she was escaping a domineering presence in her life. She's terrified of it's return. But when the effects wear off, the power comes back, but her nature is unchanged. Unbeknownst to her, that voice in her ear was already silenced. By inadvertently giving away pieces of the Beist within, she was nullifying it's influence on her. Adalind gets to be her own woman, because that voice ended up in Juliette. Now, as Eve, she's tamed it in her own way.
If having a strong hexenbiest spirit makes you a bad mother that could affect your genes. A full hexenbiests for generations could have more ability to control the hexenbiest or it could be somewhat suppressed in the mother during pregnancy and raising a small child.
I don't know if it would affect your genes, but it would certainly intensify already negative tendencies. Adalind's mother seems to be a genuinely terrible person. The inate faults in her character where just compounded by the Beist side. Those traits that would make her a horrible mother whether she's a Hexenbeist or not, just got amplified. The fact that Adalind is such a good mother, would seem to argue against a genetic transfer of specific traits. Atleast not to a greater extent than the normal biological inheritance we get from our parents. If a person is more inherently good, and the influences in their lives less oppressive, then a greater control may be possible. The clarity and wisdom of age, probably also helps to maintain that balance. Elizabeth and Henrietta are certainly less menacing in nature. They still have something of a dark edge, but an emotional even keel, seems to be maintained.
