Grieta

Grieta is a character on the Netflix original sci-fi series Tribes of Europa. She is portrayed by Ana Ularu.

Chapter 1
Grieta spots Liv, Kiano, and Elja with the Atlantian pilot and lead her tribe to the Refugium. Jakob informs them that they can take the Atlantian and that there’s no need for bloodshed. The crows don’t speak. However, simultaneously, they all seem to inhale some sort of gas before attacking, forcing the Origines to defend their home.

Grieta combats Liv, who she stabs with a blade and throws into a stream. The members of the Origines who have survived the onslaught are taken prisoner. Varvara informs them of the Atlantian cube that the pilot was in possession of. After Varvara kills two prisoners, she instructs Grieta to stay behind with her best Bozies and search for the cube.

Chapter 2
Grieta is shot with an arrow by Liv. Grieta informs Liv that her family has been taken to Brahtok. However, it’s an impenetrable fortress that Liv will never be able to gain access to. She then urges Liv to finish her off, but the Crimsons arrive, led by Commander David Voss and asks Liv to put her blade down. Grieta is then taken prisoner by the Crimson.

Liv approaches Grieta’s cell and asks why they attacked Little Praha so viciously. She reveals that they were after the Atlantian pilot. The cube is the key to great power. She then asks what Liv wants, which is a way into Brahtok. Grieta informs Liv that the remaining members of her tribe were taken to be slaves at a wolk factory. She says they’ll have three to four months before they parish from the poisonous gases and their bodies will be fed to the pigs. Liv informs Grieta of her plan for the two of them to go to Brahtok and recover her family. Liv will break her out in exchange for her family’s safe return. However, she demands that Grieta give her word, as Crows can’t break their promises.

Chapter 3
Grieta asks Liv how she intends to break her out. Liv reveals that they’ve given her a job as a prison guard. Eventually, they’re going to give her a transponder to open the locks. Grieta remarks that Liv has made remarkable progress in such little time. Liv then asks Grieta how she intends to free her family. However, Grieta refuses to give Liv any more information until she’s free.

Before they go any further, Liv wants to know just how they’re getting past the barricade unnoticed. Grieta calls Liv over and grabs her by the throat, having realized that Liv is in cahoots with the Crimson. She questions what they offered Liv, referring to Liv as a Crimson before telling her to get out.

Liv and David approach Grieta’s cell. Liv steals David’s gun from his holster and with Grieta’s help, restrains his hands to the cell doors with rope. Liv then frees Grieta, and they escape up a sewer tunnel. Liv climbs up first with Grieta not far behind her. Once on the surface, Grieta manages to steal Liv’s gun and knock her to the ground. She holds Liv at gunpoint before returning her pistol, stating that Crows stand by their word.

As they walk through the woods, Grieta notes that Liv and her family must be close for her to be willing to make an enemy of the entire Crimson Republic. Not that it matters. There will only be Crows on this continent in a few years, Grieta says. She asks Liv will she be prepared and what side she will be on when the black wave crashes over the land. Grieta proposes that rather than Liv breaking her family out, she joins them as a Crow. However, Liv isn’t interested.

Grieta reveals that it will be a three to four day journey to Brahtok, depending on how many Crimson patrols they send out, so they’ll have to take the western route to get into the city through Wedding. The old subway tunnel there is the only one not completely flooded, and it leads into Varvara’s factory, Grieta reveals. Having gained knowledge of a way under the barricades, Liv signals the Crimson with a flare gun. Within minutes, David and his men have Grieta in custody.

Chapter 6
Grieta is placed in a transport van along with Liv, who informs her that they're heading to Brahtok. Grieta suspects that Liv is afraid of what’s to come. Liv suspects the same of Grieta, who has no idea what’s in store for her. She’s the first ever Crow warrior to be taken prisoner. They’re going to wonder why she didn’t kill herself. Perhaps she was overcome by cowardice or was just too weak, they’ll think. Liv doubts that they’ll accept her as the high ranking warrior she is.

The Crimson are stopped at a border post guarded by nine heavily armed Bozies. Father makes his presence known and requests to speak with the Kapitan regarding a truce, and so the lead Bozie sends one of his men to deliver the message. Father introduces himself to a Bozie named Tusk, who moments after shaking Father’s hand, is shot in the head. Father shares the same fate. Within seconds, the barrier post becomes a war zone, Bozies and Crimsons alike being shot from the buildings above. Liv manages to get back to the truck and free Grieta, who is shot in the abdomen during the chaos, but Liv helps get her to some place secure. Grieta tells Liv to leave her, but Liv refuses. David then enters armed with a rifle. He apologizes for all that has transpired, but she tells him never to apologize for his ideals. He then turns his gun on Grieta, who Liv asks him to spare. David then asks Liv to come with him, but she refuses, as he is a murderer, though David intends to blame the ambush and Father’s death on the Crows. Historians will say this was the beginning of the Great War. The end of the reign of the Crows. Then begins the Crismon Age around them. Under David’s leadership. He pleads with Liv to join him. Again, she declines. However, he can’t let her go either. He raises his gun to kill her, but instead fires off a few rounds in the ground and reports back to his team that the threat has been neutralized.

Once the gunfire has subsided, Liv exits the building with Grieta, who is seconds away from death. With her final words, she tells Liv to leave while she still can.
