EUNICA VALENTIS

Species name: Asterids - Primordials.
Genus: Valentis.
Origin: Ancient Greece.
Status: Presumed extinct.
Last known representative: Eunice Valentis, 21.

Origin: According to ancient records, asterids existed long before the appearance of known beings and the first Grimms. They were considered guardians of the boundary between worlds. They did not belong to any known species, and their nature remained a mystery even to the most experienced hunters. References to them are found only in ancient Greek manuscripts.

Normal Appearance: A girl of incredible beauty with long vanilla-blonde hair, icy blue eyes, and fair skin. Her facial features are refined, and her movements are graceful. Her appearance is almost otherworldly, yet there are no obvious signs of non-human nature.

True Form: When transformed, Eunice's hair turns almost white, and her skin becomes covered in fine, glowing blue patterns. Her eyes glow with an icy light, her pupils take on an inhuman shape, and her teeth and nails transform into sharp fangs and claws. Enormous dark wings, resembling both avian and animal, appear behind her. A cold energy lingers around her, and the patterns on her body glow brighter in the darkness.

Abilities: Asterids sense the presence of beings, possess primordial energy, resist many forms of magic, and can sense the subtle boundary between worlds. Even Grimms cannot discern their true form. Eunice's abilities are currently unstable.

Weaknesses: Losing control of her power drains her. Strong emotional shocks can trigger involuntary transformations. The true limitations of her nature are unknown.

Grimm's Note: "Don't try to judge an asterid by its human form. If the records are true, we are dealing not with a creature to be destroyed, but with one whose existence we should never forget."

Asterids - Primordial

Classification: An unknown ancient species of creature.
Origin: Ancient Greece.
Status: presumably extinct.
Severity level: unknown.

History: The Asterids existed long before the first Grimms. In ancient Greek legends, they were called the First Born and the guardians of the border between the worlds. They did not belong to any known species of creatures and had an unusual nature. Asterids were thought to sense an imbalance between the human and supernatural worlds.

Information about them is extremely rare. References are preserved in ancient manuscripts and diaries of the Grimms, some of which have been damaged or deliberately destroyed. It is not known if this species has disappeared or if its members have gone into hiding from the rest of the world.

True Form: In human form, asterids have no obvious non-human characteristics. When transformed, their hair turns almost white, their eyes begin to glow with an icy light, and glowing patterns appear on their skin. Teeth and nails turn into sharp fangs and claws, large wings with dark plumage, combining bird and animal features, open behind the back. An unusual energy is felt around the body.

Abilities:

<a i="0"> Sense the presence of creatures and disturb supernatural balance.
Manipulate primordial energy of unknown nature.
<a i="1"> They are resistant to some types of witch magic.
They are able to sense the border between worlds and affect it.
Not recognized by the Grimms: their true nature remains hidden even from those with Grimm's abilities.

Weakness: Using force causes exhaustion. Strong emotions can provoke an involuntary transformation. The true limits of the Asterids' abilities and vulnerabilities are unknown.

Grimm's entry: "We have described hundreds of creatures, but some do not fit into any classification. Asterids may not have become extinct. Maybe they just never let us find themselves."

Portland

Police Station The Portland, Oregon Police Station is a modern building where Detectives Nick Burkhardt and Hank Griffin work. Phones are constantly ringing here, employees are discussing cases, typing reports and receiving calls for new incidents.

Inside there are offices, a common room for detectives, interrogation rooms, archives, meeting rooms and forensic laboratories. Photos of suspects, maps of the city and investigation materials hang on the walls. In the corridors, there are patrolmen, detectives and experts studying evidence.

Nick and Hank's workplace is located in the common room of the homicide department. Their desks are filled with folders, reports, photos from crime scenes and notes. Here, partners analyze evidence, discuss versions, check the testimony of witnesses and plan further actions. Nick is attentive to detail and often notices things that others miss, and Hank helps test his assumptions. Their communication is based on trust, professional disputes and dry humor.

Captain Sean Renard's office is a separate room where detectives come for assignments, report on the results of investigations and discuss complex cases. Renard is demanding of discipline and expects specific answers from his subordinates.

The station also has rooms for interrogations and storage of material evidence. Murders, disappearances, and other crimes are investigated here, unaware that some of them are related to creatures hiding among humans.

For Nick, the lot is the place where two sides of his life intersect: his work as a detective and Grimm's duties. Officially, he collects evidence and searches for criminals, but sometimes the true reasons for what is happening cannot be explained by ordinary police logic. In such cases, Nick turns to Monroe and other experts in the supernatural world.

The shop serves as a meeting place for Nick, Monroe, and Rosalie, where they discuss investigations, study old records, and find ways to deal with unusual threats. Here you can get advice, find a rare ingredient, or learn about a creature that is almost impossible to find in ordinary sources.

Despite the dangerous topics of conversation, the shop retains a homely atmosphere. It's a place where allies can talk in peace, exchange news, and get away from the dark side of Portland for a while. However, strangers are not always explained the true purpose of rare goods, and some secrets remain known only to the most trusted visitors.

Portland, Oregon

Portland is a large city in the northwestern United States, surrounded by dense forests, hills, and rivers. During the day, it seems to be an ordinary modern city with coffee shops, residential areas, bridges and busy streets. But as darkness falls, its atmosphere changes: rain reflects the light of lanterns, fog creeps over the roads, and narrow alleys and forest paths hide what most residents do not even know about.

People and creatures live here - supernatural beings capable of taking on human form. They work, start families, open shops and try not to attract unnecessary attention. Behind the outer tranquility of the city are ancient secrets, dangerous confrontations and mysterious crimes.

Main locations: the Portland Police Station, where Detective Nick Burkhardt investigates unusual cases; Nick's house, which became his refuge; antique shops and libraries, Aunt Marie's trailer where you can find information about creatures; Monroe's cozy house, filled with books and antiques; a small spice shop of Monroe and Rosalie, which serves as a source of knowledge about creatures and their traditions.

Outside the city there are dense forests, abandoned roads and secluded huts. It is there that strange events, disappearances and encounters with creatures that prefer to stay away from people often take place.

Portland is a city of contrasts: cozy and dangerous, modern and steeped in ancient legends. Here, an ordinary police investigation can lead to a discovery that can change the way we think about the world, and a chance encounter can turn out to be the beginning of a story that has been hidden for generations.
