Theresa Rubel

Theresa "Trubel" Rubel, born April 29, 1993, is a Grimm that first appeared in. Before meeting Nick, she had never benefited from a guide to explain the implications of her Grimm status to her. She has battle scars on her back and side.

Early Life
The first time Trubel saw a Wesen was in one of the foster homes she grew up in. A man that fixed things around the house asked her to help him in the garage one day. In the garage he grabbed her, and she saw his face woge. He pushed her onto the floor, but she was so scared at what she saw, that she just grabbed the first thing she saw, a screwdriver, to use to defend herself, although she didn't kill the man, but he got off her quickly. That day was also the first time she was called a Grimm. Later, a Siegbarste killed her foster parents. Since she only saw the creature in its woged state, she thought it was a monster and fled for her life. This began her long journey of traveling across the United States. While in Chicago she was picked up by a Wendigo who offered her dinner. Shortly afterward, she realized what he was and that she was the main course, so she killed him.

Trubel walks down the side of a quiet road as a truck slowly drives past her and pulls over in front of her. She continues walking by it, but the two men in the truck, Kirk and Richard, get out. They run up behind her saying they were just trying to give her a ride. They grab her and knock her down. They drag her away from the road as she screams and tries to get away. They both woge and attack as blood splatters nearby on the ground nearby as Trubel uses her machete on the two attackers.

The next day, Trubel wakes up in her hotel room. She sits at a table with Kirk and Richard's wallets, and takes the money out. She then takes off her clothes to take a shower revealing scars on her back and shoulders.

In a store, Trubel puts on a pair of boots. She goes to a dressing room acting like she wants to see how the boots look with a pair of pants, but instead she sets paper on fire and leaves the store with the boots still on as the fire alarm goes off. Unknown to her, a gangbanger girl follows her out of the store. The gangbanger follows for a little while before confronting her about stealing the boots and tells her to give her the boots. Trubel pulls out a knife and the gangbanger woges into a Skalengeck, and attacks. Trubel gets hit over a bench causing her to drop her knife, Both girls get multiple hits on each other before the gangbanger tries to go for the knife. Trubel pulls the gangbanger away by her shoe, but the shoe comes off and the gangbanger grabs the knife. Trubel avoids multiple knife attacks and grabs the gangbanger's arm. She manages to get the knife away and then slashes and stabs the gangbanger multiple times before running away covered in blood. Eventually she gets rid of her sunglasses and zips up her jacket to hide the blood on her.

Trubel arrives back to her hotel, where the manager tells her she needs to pay up if she is going to stay another day because it's past check out. Trubel walks up the stairs and says she is leaving. In her room, Trubel starts to take a shower to wash off the blood before she ends up sitting in the shower.

After her shower, Trubel finishes packing up before she leaves. Soon after she leaves, Nick, Hank, and Monroe spot her. Nick gets out of the car to get behind her while Hank drives past her to block her off. Trubel slides over the top of the car as Monroe is getting out causing him to woge. When Trubel sees him, she pulls out her machete and tries to attack. Nick tackles her to the ground causing her to drop the machete, but she tries hitting Nick, who blocks his face until Hank pulls her off. She tries to get away as Nick grabs her too and Monroe shocks Nick by telling him that she is a Grimm. Hank handcuffs Trubel as she continues to try to get away and threatens the trio. Hank puts her in the back of the car and Nick sits by her to try to explain things to her about what a Grimm and Wesen are. Nick tells Hank to just drive and Nick asks Trubel questions such as what her name is, but when she won't talk, Nick tells Hank just to take her in.

After Nick finds a notebook in Trubel's items with drawings of Wesen and notes around the images, he goes to talk to Trubel in the holding cell. He talks to her about her drawings and tells her he is going to take her out of the cell to show her something, but if she tries anything, she'll be booked for murder. He gives her the notebook and puts handcuffs on her.

Nick and Hank bring Trubel to the trailer, and when she refuses to go into the trailer with them, Nick goes in and grabs one of the Grimm diaries to show her. Hank takes off her handcuffs and Nick hands her the book. As soon as she opens the book, she starts flipping through it and seeing things similar to what she has been seeing. She asks, "what is this?" and Nick tells her it's the truth. Nick tells her there is more in the trailer and she quickly goes in and looks around. Nick tells her it's his truth too and he sees what she does. He says he brought her to the trailer because he wants to help her learn what being a Grimm means.

Nick brings Trubel home, surprising Juliette and introduces Juliette to Trubel.

Trubel's introduction to Juliette continues by Juliette telling her that Trubel is an interesting name. Nick tells Juliette that Trubel is probably going to have to stay with them for a little while so she can lay low. Nick then tells her that Trubel just found out that she is a Grimm and Juliette pulls Nick aside to get more details of what's going on. While they are talking, Trubel goes into the kitchen and starts eating the Chinese food that Juliette brought home. After Nick and Juliette finish talking, they, along with Trubel, sit around the kitchen table eating the Chinese food as Trubel asks Nick more questions about Grimms. After dinner, Trubel goes up to the guest bedroom and thanks Nick and Juliette for the food.

That night, Trubel has nightmares about her recent Wesen encounters. When she wakes up, she grabs her stuff and tries to leave the house, but Nick is on the front porch. He asks her if she would be more comfortable in a jail cell because that's where she'll end up if she leaves. She tells him he doesn't owe her anything and Nick says he can help her because he knows the world she is living in. He gives her back her chess piece that fell off her bag when she was attacked by Kirk and Richard before he goes back inside the house.

Nick and Hank bring Trubel to Monroe and Rosalee's home so they can show her that not all Wesen are bad. Monroe and Rosalee explain the "stages" of woge to Trubel; Wesen can only be seen by humans when they want to be seen, but Grimms can see them even if they don't want to be seen. Monroe and Rosalee then both woge for Trubel to see. When they retract, Trubel asks how they know she's a Grimm and they explain to her that it has to do with her eyes getting very dark. Trubel says that everything is weird now because everyone used to tell her she was making everything up. Rosalee puts her hand on Trubel's shoulder and tells her she needs to be careful because not all Wesen are like her and Monroe. Nick tells Hank they have to go because there is a body in a park. Hank asks what they should do with Trubel and Nick says they can bring her with them, but everyone struggles to figure out a reason to explain why she is with them until Hank comes up with the idea of her being a criminology student on a ride along.

Nick, Hank, and Trubel arrive to the crime scene, and Nick asks why she is getting out of the car because the crime scene may have nothing to do with Wesen. As Wu walks up, Nick tells her just to keep her voice down and not ask a lot of questions. Wu leads them to the body of Cammy who is drained of all her blood. They notice that Cammy is dressed in high end clothes and the cuts don't look like they were made by a blade. Trubel blurts out that it's gotta be Wesen, leading to Wu asking, "who's Wesen?" Nick and Hank look at Trubel and have her explain what she is talking about. She tells Wu that Wesen is German for there being no blood left. When Wu leaves to get the fingerprint scanner, Hank tells Trubel that she needs to understand that they are with regular cops and that she can't talk about that kind of thing to just anybody. Trubel apologizes and Nick and Hank agree that she is probably right though. Trubel asks what kind of Wesen makes those kind of marks and they head to the trailer.

In the trailer, Nick, Hank, and Trubel look through the books. After coming across a Wendigo entry, Trubel mentions that one tried to eat her when she was in Chicago. They discover that it was likely a Lebensauger that killed Cammy. Before they leave the trailer, Nick and Hank notice Trubel staring at one of the books. She shows them the Siegbarste entry and says that's what killed her foster parents, leading to her running away. Nick tells her he can take her home, but she tells him no because she is done running.

Nick, Hank, and Trubel arrive to the where Cammy was last known to be staying at. Nick tells Trubel to stay in the car and she agrees because she has been in and out of places like this too many times. While waiting in the car, Trubel watches as Jeane talks to Megan. She sees Megan woge and then Nick and Hank exit the house to talk with Megan. When they return to the car, Trubel tells the detectives she saw Megan woge before they arrived, but Nick says they need more than that to bring her in. Trubel asks how a girl living in a place like this could afford designer clothing like Cammy had on when her body was found. As Hank starts driving, Trubel quickly gets out of the car and runs towards Megan. She pins Megan against some wood and Megan woges into a Mauzhertz. She pleads for her life and Trubel demands to know what Cammy has been up to. Megan gives in and tells Trubel that Cammy met Donna O'Hara at. Nick and Hank arrive and pull Trubel away from Megan, and Trubel tells them what Megan said.

Nick and Hank talk to Captain Renard in his office while Trubel waits by Nick and Hank's desk. Wu walks up to Trubel and asks how the ride along is going. She says fine and he tells her not everyone can handle dealing with homicides. Trubel says it's not so bad and Wu tells her as long as you don't have nightmares.

That night, Nick, Hank, and Trubel sit in the car near O'Bryant Square hoping to spot Donna. After awhile they think they see her, but Nick tells Trubel that if it is her, they have to wait for her to make a move. Trubel grabs some spare change and gets out of the car. She dumps her drink out and puts the change in the cup as she messes up her hair. She acts like she is begging for change and eventually gets to Donna. Nick is about to get out when he sees what Trubel is doing, but Hank says to wait and see what she does. Donna tells Trubel she should just go home and Trubel says she would if she had a home. Trubel tells Donna she likes her shoes and Donna asks if she would like her own. She tells Trubel to come with her and Nick and Hank go after them. They catch up as Donna is driving away with Trubel and they can only get a partial plate, so Nick calls it in.

Donna brings Trubel to Ken's warehouse where the stolen clothes are brought back to. She then introduces introduces her to Ken, Jenny and Vanessa. Ken hands Trubel a dress so he can see how she "cleans up." Jenny and Vanessa work on cleaning Trubel up by putting on makeup and fixing up her hair. Donna brings a pair of high heels to Trubel to see if she can walk in them. Once Trubel is cleaned up and wearing the dress and high heels, Ken comes up to her and tells her to walk to see if she can sell it. Trubel stumbles a little in the high heels, but Donna tells Ken she'll teach her to walk in them better. Ken asks her to smile as he rubs her shoulder.

Trubel puts the dress back on the rack and she tells Ken she needs to go grab her stuff that she has stashed. Ken tells her that she doesn't need it anymore now that she is with them. Ken grabs her arm and tells her that new girls spend their first night with him and drags her to the back room. Once he closes the door, Trubel hits him in the nose with the palm of her hand. He tells her she shouldn't have done that and woges. He realizes she is a Grimm, but before he can do anything, Trubel knees him between the legs and runs out the door. She tells the other girls to get out. Ken stumbles out and tells Donna she brought him a Grimm. Trubel looks at Donna and is asking her how she knows about Grimms when she woges into a Lebensauger. Ken woges again and lunges at Trubel. Donna bites Trubel's arm briefly before Trubel headbutts her off. Trubel continues fighting the two Lebensaugers until she has a chance to pull a knife from her shoe and stabs Donna in the neck as Nick and Hank enter the room. Ken charges at Nick, but Nick shoots him, killing him. Trubel runs up to the other girls and checks on them.

At home, Trubel knocks on Nick and Juliette's door and when Juliette opens it, Trubel admits to Nick she knows she messed up. She tells Nick she isn't used to being the hunter and got carried away. She tells him she needs to know more if he is still willing to help her. Nick tells her they can talk about it in the morning, so Trubel heads to her room. In bed, Trubel draws a picture of a Lebensauger in her notebook and makes an entry about it.

Trubel is called down for dinner by Juliette. After a brief silence, Rosalee and Monroe tentatively ask Trubel about her past experiences with Wesen, and how she's handling Nick's mentoring now.

The next morning, she answers the door for Josh Porter, who was looking for Nick to bring him to see his father, Rolek Porter. Trubel notices a Grimm diary page he has of a Hundjäger and recognizes the drawing. Knowing that Josh doesn't know that he's dealing with the Verrat, she has him take her to see Rolek instead of Nick. When the two arrive at the abandoned building Josh and his father are hiding in, she is shown Rolek's collection of Grimm artifacts and, when the old man collapses, helps Josh take him to the hospital.

After calling Nick about Rolek's possession of a key, she takes Nick to meet Rolek in the hospital. When Josh, Nick and Trubel are taken out of the hospital room so that the doctors can tend to Rolek, Nick tells Trubel to stay while he and Hank guard the Grimm trunk.

Disobeying Nick, she goes to the parking lot anyway and takes out two of the four Hundjägers that Nick and Hank had been fighting. She then takes the trunk to Nick's home, where they find Rolek's key hidden inside his cane.

When Nick and Juliette arrive home from Monroe and Rosalee's wedding rehearsal dinner, they smell smoke. They rush into the house to find Trubel dealing with a grease fire while trying to cook bacon. Nick gets the fire out by putting a lid on the pan while Trubel and Juliette open doors and windows to deal with the smoke. Trubel says she was trying to cook bacon and eggs for everyone, but didn't get past the bacon. Nick tells Trubel he needs her help in the morning because they are going to move the trailer.

The next morning, Nick and Trubel drive away from Forest Hills Storage with the trailer hooked up. Nick says too many people knew where the trailer was so he bought a piece of land. In the middle of a forest, Nick unhitches the trailer, and he and Trubel put some things from Nick's car into the trailer.

In the trailer, Nick and Trubel go through some of the new things that Rolek Porter gave Nick as they talk about what they would do if they had the choice of no longer being a Grimm.

Nick and Trubel arrive home and Nick offers to order food for Trubel before he and Juliette head to the wedding. Trubel says she appreciates everything, but that she can't keep living off of him and Juliette, and at some point she is going to have to leave, but she tells him if she gets hungry she will figure it out. She goes to her room and looks through Grimm diaries.

When Adalind, disguised as Juliette is leaving Nick and Juliette's house, she runs into Trubel coming out of the kitchen. Trubel jokes that she wasn't cooking anything... except bacon. Adalind replies that she hates bacon and leaves. Trubel asks if she's going to the wedding, but Adalind closes the door. Trubel is curious, so she decides to follow her.

Trubel follows who she thinks is Juliette and watches as she gets into a taxi. As the taxi pulls away, she is surprised to suddenly see a blonde woman in the back of the taxi instead of Juliette.

Trubel arrives back at the house as Nick and Juliette are leaving. She watches from behind a bush as they leave.

Renard arrives to Nick and Juliette's home with the antidote for Nick. He knocks loudly and yells for Nick to open the door. Trubel walks up to the door and asks who he is. He tells her he is Nick's captain and that he needs to speak to him because it's very important. She opens the door and he comes in quickly. Trubel tells him that Nick isn't home because he is at a wedding. Renard asks who she is and she says she is just a friend of theirs. Renard asks if Adalind was there and Trubel says she has heard of her, but doesn't know who she is, so Renard quickly describes her. He tells her about following who she thought was Juliette to a cab and when it drove past, Juliette wasn't the one in the cab. Renard show her the antidote and says Nick needs to drink it. Trubel gives him a piece of paper saying where the wedding is. He tells her she should stay and as soon as he goes out the door, he is shot 3 times in the stomach/chest, causing him to fall back into the house. Weston Steward enters the house and sees Trubel. She runs as he shoots at her and chases her. Trubel runs to her room and closes the door. She puts a chair against the doorknob as Weston tries shooting through the door, causing Trubel to accidentally hit her head on the edge of her bedside table.

Weston breaks through Trubel's door and says she is in the wrong place at the wrong time, but he won't shoot her, so he puts his gun away. Trubel grabs her machete from by her bed without him noticing and hides it behind her back. Weston woges to attack Trubel, but immediately realizes she is a Grimm. She kicks him, causing him to stumble and fall out of the room. She quickly runs up to him and cuts off his head, and his head rolls down the stairs. Trubel then calls 911 for Renard. Trubel then grabs the antidote and Renard's keys from his pocket, and runs out of the house to head to the wedding location.

Trubel arrives at the wedding and runs inside and yells for Nick. Everyone looks at her and it doesn't take long for her to be identified as a Grimm. She tells Nick he needs to drink what's in the bottle, but she is grabbed by many Wesen, causing her to drop the bottle, breaking it. Nick tries to help Trubel and his sunglasses are knocked off and stepped on. Hank helps Nick to get Trubel out of the room as Juliette, Monroe and Rosalee follow. Inside another room, Nick asks how everyone knew Trubel was a Grimm. Monroe asks Nick if he can see him woged and Nick asks if he is woged. Monroe tells Nick that he isn't a Grimm anymore. Trubel tells Nick it's what Adalind did to him which is why he was supposed to drink the stuff in the bottle. Trubel tells Nick about Renard coming to the house, saying Adalind did something to him before he was shot. Bart hurries in and tells them they need to get Trubel out of there, so everyone but Monroe and Rosalee hurry out to Renard's vehicle. Everyone quietly sits in the car as Hank drives and Trubel asks Nick "you really couldn't see them (woged Wesen)?" and he looks out his window before softly telling her no.

Personality
Years of being treated as delusional has left Theresa with a lot of angst and frustration. Likewise, years of being alone and on the run have led her to become intelligent and independent. Furthermore, years of Wesen attacking her for no apparent reason has lead her to attack them on sight. Despite this, she has a more timid side to her and is still traumatized by her encounter with a Siegbarste. Her introduction to the world of Grimms and Wesen has been somewhat overwhelming to her, but she is getting used to it. Due to her hard lifestyle while on the run, she is somewhat lacking in standard civility or subtlety as she eats with her hands and she prefers direct approaches in order to gain information. While she is independent and not prone to taking the advice of others, she knows that she has a lot to learn and is willing to listen as she is now tired of running. She has displayed a side of herself where she appears eager to prove her worth, especially since having been taken under the wing of another Grimm. She is also very observant and deductive. She shows some reluctance to accepting kindness, such as when Juliette Silverton offers to take her out to buy clothes, because she does not want to get accustomed to having support. She carries around a chess piece because she likes the way it moves differently than any other piece. She also used to carry a queen until she lost it in a confrontation where she jammed it into a Coyotl's neck after he attacked her at the Miltfort State Mental Hospital.
