| ~ Khloe's narcissistic and remorseless nature. |
Khloe Sedgwick is the main antagonist of the Grimm episode "Kiss of the Muse". Although she initially appeared harmless, it was revealed that she is a Musai, a Wesen that locks onto men with untapped power or talent, and brings it out, at the cost of their sanity, and later their life.
She was portrayed by Nora Zehetner who also portrayed Laura Dannon in Brick.
Personality[]
At first glance, Khloe appeared like a charming, well-meaning girl who was the victim of her ex-boyfriend relentlessly pursuing her. But this only covered who she really was underneath. As a Musai, Khloe is a deceptive and sociopathic woman who kisses men and brings out their inner talents and potential, causing them to become toxically infatuated with her. She has a passion for art and often targets artists, authors and composers.
Khloe displays many signs of malignant narcissism, displaying a fondness for her own image in the art she collects of herself made by her victims. As seen during Nick and Anton fighting, she enjoys her victims fighting for her and having power over them. To top it off, she refuses to accept responsibility for driving her victims insane and causing their demise, despite the fact that she clearly put them under her trance and even commanded Nick to kill Anton so she could be his, all for nothing but her own entertainment. As revealed in police reports, she has had a string of boyfriends who have all either died or lost their minds because of her, but she delusionally believes that she's good for her victims while not having a shred of remorse over them dying for her.
Biography[]
Before turning up she had caused the deaths of several creative men, inspiring great works out of them but leading to them killing themselves. She broke up with on of her latest boyfriends Anton Cole, an artist who she had inspired some great work, but left him insane and obsessed with her. Unable to except her moving on, he attacked her latest boyfriend a author, killing him at his book signing. He tried to kidnap her, but Nick arrived and scared him off. He was also a Wesen, so he dived into a the river and escaped.
Nick felt a strange attraction to Khloe, and let her kiss his hand, thus spreading her spell into him, making him obsessed with her. She of course was unaware he was a Grimm, but sensing colossal power within him. Nick later turned up, she revealed her passion for art, and kissed him on the lips revealing her true form. Thus discovering Nick was a Grimm, she was initially terrified he would kill her, however upon realizing he was still under her spell, she realizes she could use him.
As a Grimm, her spell affected Nick even faster than for any other being (as it acts proportion to power and talent), as such Nick quickly became obsessively in love with her, and unable to resist her. Arriving she told him that Anton was here, and he would have to prove his love.
After Nick was stopped and Anton and Khloe was taken in, Hank Griffin and Sean Renard reveal that they knew what she is, and she showed no care at being responsible for so many deaths, trying to justify it by pointing out all the great works of art, music and literature she had inspired before she had led to her boyfriends deaths. Nick was fortunately cured, when they managed to bring him and his true love together again, thus breaking Khloe's hold over him, and her spell.
Renard went to her, and told Khloe to get out of Portland and never come back, or else he would kill her, before revealing his monster side to make the threat clear.
