Grimm

The TV show that I have chosen to create my characters for is Grimm. It is one of my favourite TV shows and I love how the original Grimm's Fairytales are used as the cases in the show. 

Grimm originally premiered in 2011, with it now being in its 5th season. The show focuses around protagonist Nick Burkhardt a detective with the Portland police, who finds out that he is descended from a long line of guardians known as Grimms. Grimms are in charge of protecting humanity from the mythological creatures known as Wesen, which take many different forms and usually Woge (show their true nature as they look like the average human normally) when under high stress/pressure. When a Wesen Woges and a Grimm witnesses this, the eyes of the Grimm turn solid black showing the Wesen their true appearance along with revealing the identity of the Grimm.

Throughout the series, Nick has to juggle having a normal life whilst battling the Wesen that cause trouble and trying to protect those in his life that he loves. This doesn't always go according to plan, meaning that he reveals his secret to a select few of his 'human' friends; Trubel who is also a Grimm, his friend and fellow detective Hank Griffin, Sergeant Wu and girlfriend Juliette. Nick also is very close friends with some Wesen; Monroe who is a Blutbad (a wolf-like character taking inspiration from the Big Bad Wolf in Red Riding Hood), Rosalee who is a Fuchsbau and Monroe's wife (similar to a fox), Bud who is Eisbiber (similar to a beaver), Captain Sean Renard who is half-Zauberbiest (similar to a zombie/witch) and also a member of the Royal family and Adalind Schade who is a Hexenbiest (a witch who is similar in form to a zombie) as well as the mother of both Sean and Nick's children.
