Is this normal?? Yes, howver not everyone has the same personality; its within certain parameters;  but as you say, they do 'pretend to be others' - having designer clothes, to look the part of someone who is likely wealthy - but they are obtaining their goods by criminal ways. I know that personality can change between people but there are supposed to be some-i guess- natural instincts of wesen species. the genio iccuco turtles are smart, hollandtier are fearless, wendigos eat humans and  bury their bones, daemonfuer collect copper. in the episode with ryan i do not recall any bloodsucking either but he was pretending to be the endischeiter grimm and his mother was a drunk trying to drink away her issues. the book described lebensauger as well rather pathetic/low selfesteem species that tries to be something other than itself.
