Emissary

Delphina Talia Morrell was born on September 14, 1986 as product of a love affair between an emissary, Marin Morrell and the alpha, Deucalion. She was raised by her Godfather/Uncle, Alan Deaton, and Godmother, Talia Hale. Delphina is married to Niklaus Mikaelson making her the sister-in-law of Freya, Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah and Henrik Mikaelson. She is the mother of Hope and, through marriage, the adopted mother of Marcel Gerard, an orphan boy Klaus rescued and eventually turned into a vampire.
Delphina followed in her mother and Uncle's footsteps of becoming an Emissary for the centuries-old Hale Pack since she was a Druid. She grew up knowing about the supernatural as she lived between Deaton's home and the Hale house until the majority of the Hale's were killed in a house fire set by Kate Argent and her co-conspirators when she was in her late teens. Delphina moved into her uncle's house full time till she travels to New York for College where she connects with Derek and Laura and fell in love with Klaus before the two were married. Delphina was brought back to Beacon Hills by Derek when Laura goes missing in 2011.
Shortly afterward, Laura was murdered in order for her killer to steal her Alpha powers, forcing Delphina to track and battle against this mysterious and vengeful new Alpha, only to learn that it was actually her uncle Peter Hale, who sought to create a new pack with which to get revenge on those who orchestrated the Hale House Fire. Upon learning that Peter's killing of Laura was premeditated and not an accident like he claimed, Ismene teamed up with Derek, Peter's first Beta, Scott McCall and his friends, along with Hunters Allison and Chris Argent, to kill him. It was Derek that gave him the killing blow in retribution for killing Laura, which caused Derek to gain Peter's Alpha status.
Sometime later, when Derek realized the Alpha Pack intended to recruit him and he began biting and turning several teenagers, Ismene joined in hopes helping him fight against them. Recipients of Derek's bite included Jackson Whittemore, Isaac Lahey, Erica Reyes, and Vernon Boyd III, though only the latter three actually joined the pack. Later the pack expanded to included Peter and Ismene's newly returned younger half-sister, Cora, but the pack was short-lived, as Boyd and Erica were killed and Isaac left the group to join Scott McCall's new pack after he ascended to True Alpha status.
When Derek forfeited his Alpha status in order to heal Cora from mistletoe poisoning, she soon after left town with Klaus after almost being ritually sacrificed by a Darach. Ismene later returned to Beacon Hills with Klaus when began to have terrible nightmares and received a call from Stiles. It soon became known to her that she and Stiles was being possessed by a dark spirit known as the Nogitsune, which caused her to commit several crimes that led to dozens of people getting hurt or killed, something that still causes Ismene immense guilt to this day. Once the Nogitsune was defeated, Delphina joined the McCall Pack as their emissary. After the events of the Deadpool and the recent suspicions of a pregnancy, Ismene once again left town for a while. She doesn't tell Klaus of her suspicions and is eventually drawn to New Orleans by the coven of witches.
Delphina returned to Beacon Hills after hearing that Scott needed her help in the final battle between the supernatural community, including the McCall Pack, and the town's human population, the majority of which had joined Gerard Argent and Tamora Monroe's Hunter Army. Two years after the defeat of the Anuk-ite and temporary win against Monroe's Army, Ismene was seen still being an active member of the McCall Pack who was aiding her friends in finding orphaned supernatural creatures like Alec and welcoming them into their ranks.
== Biography ==
=== Early Life ===
Delphina was born the second child of renowned Alpha Talia Hale and Alan Deaton on the outskirts of Beacon Hills, California in the mid-late 1980s. As a member of a centuries-old and highly esteemed Werewolf bloodline and a great Druid, Ismene was raised along with her half-sisters Laura and Cora, her half-brother Derek, and her uncle Peter. She lives between her mothers and fathers house as she trained and studied to follow in her fathers footsteps in becoming an emissary.
When she reached high school, she was seen as a genius and tested for her high IQ as she quickly took up playing the cello. However, when she first came into her powers in adolescence, she had great difficulty learning to control her telekinesis that was stronger due to her connection with a powerful Alpha. Talia and Deaton worked together in an attempted to train Ismene by using a large bronze coin stamped with a the symbol of the Hale Family, the triskelion, which she claimed was a powerful talisman for control when used with the mantra, "What three things cannot long be hidden... The sun. The moon. The truth” while teaching her control in the root cellar of the Nemeton, a sacred meeting place for Druids 
A short time later, when Derek fell in love with the quiet, shy girl at school named Paige Krasikeva, Ismene became fast friends with her and they bonded over their love for the cello. After Peter arranged for Ennis to bite Paige, Ismene arrived at the high school to try and help Derek stop Ennis from biting her. Unfortunately, Ismene was only seventeen and Derek fifteen and he was only a Beta's at that time, so not only did they stand no chance against him, but they arrived too late to change anything—Paige had already been bitten and was fearfully crawling away. Paige's body rejected the bite, and black blood began to pour from her nose and mouth, forcing Ismene to bring her and Derek to the Nemeton's root cellar to hide out while she figured out what was going on. Derek took as much of Paige's pain as he could, but when it became clear that she was dying, she confessed her love for Derek, before begging him to kill her to end her suffering. Though Derek refused at first, he eventually agreed to forever relieve her of her pain by using his Werewolf strength to snap her spine. Ismene took Paige's death upon herself and blamed herself for the young girls pain and the darkening of Derek's soul. 
At some point near the end of 2004 and the beginning of 2005, while Ismene, Derek, and Laura were at school, Kate and her co-conspirators set fire to the Hale House while the majority of her family was trapped inside. Her mother Talia and between seven and eleven additional people died in the fire, and there were only two survivors: Peter, who had second and third-degree burns over the majority of his body that caused him to go into a coma for six years while he healed; and Cora, who, at just eleven years old, went on the run and fled Beacon Hills under the mistaken impression that none of her family had made it out of the fire alive, not even Ismene, Derek, or Laura.
Ismene stayed in Beacon Hills with Deaton till she graduated from high school and became a complete Druid. She moved to New York with Derek and Laura in order to try and put the past behind her. Ismene became the Hale Packs second emissary as she began her first year at Columbia University as junior with the goal of becoming a doctor. One night at a bar after graduating from pre-med, her siblings convinced her to have some fun and Ismene ended up running into Niklaus Mikaelson, quite literally. They began dating and eventually fell in love, though they hide both of their supernatural secrets until one night she got into a fight with Derek. He had told her of his love affair with Kate Argent leading up to the fire and she blamed him for all of the Hale deaths. Ismene ran from the apartment to Klaus’s where he asked her to move in after hearing her story. He ended showing her his story in order to gain her full trust and she reciprocated by telling him her full truth. 
The two were wed in 2009 at the Beacon Hills reserve before honeymooning in Greece. The two moved to Canada before a year later mysterious animal attacks lead the Hale's back to Beacon Hills. Laura came back to Beacon Hills after she was sent a photo of a dead deer in the preserve that had a spiral burned into its fur. After not hearing from Laura for a while, Derek travelled to his hometown to check on her, only to find that she had been killed by an then-unknown Werewolf and her body cut in half post-mortum by Argent Hunters to ensure she would not be able to heal and revive herself. Derek immediately called Ismene and she quickly joined him, leaving Klaus in Canada since she wanted to leave with as many loved ones left as she started.

Delphina meets up with Hayley and they head towards the area while Jane-Anne and Sophie prepare to do a spell on the Druid. While Jane-Anne does the spell, Delphina's car acts up and weird things happen to her, when seeing other people come to her she tells Hayley to run before passing out with Sophie and the other witches of the Quarter circling her. Later it is revealed by Elijah and Sophie that she is pregnant with Klaus' child.

After Rebekah and Klaus argue over Klaus' "friendship" with Marcel and Elijah's sudden disappearance, Delphina sits upon the stairs, seemingly watching and listening to the two siblings arguing. Rebekah tells her that she is going to help her look for her "good brother", Elijah. As they walk down the spiral staircase and into the basement, they see the coffins Klaus keeps. 
Delphina then heads into the quarter, running across the road to the Jardin Gris in order to buy a herb. She tells the witch she needs "crushed aconite flower".

Katie gives her the herb, refuses the money and tells her she is doing the right thing. As Delphina leaves, Katie calls one of Marcel's vampires and tells them there is an Emissary in the quarter, knowing that most work for Werewolf packs. Delphina then takes a seat on a bench, letting the past few days events as she drinks tea and tries to get the voice of the Nogitsune out of her head, that has been haunting her for weeks even though he was no longer around. Rustling is heard behind her and she stands, turns and is suddenly startled by a vampire. The vampire hisses it was a bad move coming to the quarter- as werewolves were chased away by Marcel- and she huffs she is sick and tired of people telling her what to do before throwing some powdered vervain into his face that she kept in a pouch in her pocket. He screams in pain and turns around, to be confronted by two more vampires. As they are about to approach, one's neck is snapped and another's heart is ripped from his chest. Delphina looks up surprised to see Hayley and Rebekah who tell the corpse that is no way to treat a pregnant lady. 
Back at the house, Klaus has returned and is berating Rebekah, Hayley, and Delphina for their actions. The next morning, Klaus watches Delphina as she supposedly sleeps in their room; he reaches into her back and sniffs the vial of wolfsbane. Delphina points out that she didn't use it and Klaus wants to know why, as she could've been free from their predicament. Delphina admits that when those vampires attacked her, she realized that she wasn't only fighting for herself and she doesn't want anybody to hurt it.

Hayley asks Klaus and Rebekah what is the plan to overtake Marcel. Klaus tells her that she needs to stay in the house and help protect Delphina for both of their safety since Marcel still knows there's a rogue werewolf and Druid out who killed his nightwalkers.

When Delphina asks him how he can hate his sister and he reveals that she has done something no one has done in over in a 1000 years; ripped his heart out. He begins to tell her that he allowed Marcel and Rebekah to be together and now realizes that he was a fool for not seeing their treachery, as they brought Mikael to town.

==== Story Time ====
When he pours himself a drink, Delphina then enters the room and when she mentions Elijah's name Klaus tells her not to speak to him about Elijah. Delphina says that Elijah loves him and he agrees with her, saying Elijah proves time and again, even when Mikael enlisted Elijah to kill him. Klaus tells Delphina that Mikael came to Elijah and wanted him to help Mikael to kill Klaus. He continues to tell the story and tells Delphina that Elijah refused Mikael's offer and said he would always stand by his brother and as a reward Mikael stabbed him with a piece of wood. Klaus says that Elijah often felt guilt for not stopping Mikael and Klaus would tell him not to blame himself. Klaus then received a text saying that Rebekah and Marcel have been seen in town. He then breaks a statue and pools out a stake. Delphina asks what it is and he reveals that it is his own White Oak Stake.
Klaus is later feeding on a guy and Delphina comes out to ask him what he is doing and he reveals that he is going to kill Rebekah. Delphina then tells him not to kill his sister because if he does he will be filled with guilt and he won't survive it. Klaus responds by saying that he almost didn't survive Rebekah bringing Mikael down on him. Delphina then tells him not to hunt down and terrorize Rebekah and Marcel, like he was terrorize, because if he does it he will become his father. Klaus then says he has been called many shades of monster but that was new and he says that Mikael was the monster that monsters was afraid of. He then grabbed her to show her something. He brought her to the location of the opera that burned down in 1919 and reveals that it was the work of Mikael. He tells her how Mikael sat behind him with his stake aimed for his heart and when Klaus said that if Mikael killed him he would fall proud of what he had achieved. Mikael then agreed with what he said and revealed that after he killed him, he would kill everyone that remembers his name. Then as the show started it showed that Mikael had compelled the audience to applaud to what they were seeing; Lana impaled on the scene and Marcel chained to an x. Klaus reveals that he tried to save Marcel but Mikael stopped him and Rebekah intervened and Klaus says he believed that she was trying to save him all those years, and now realizes that it was Marcel she tried to save. He continues to tell Delphina the story and Elijah came to help them and together they ran and as they fled Mikael burned the opera to the ground along with Marcel they assumed. 
He says he lived but all that they built died as did the last shred of him that felt human and says that is what Mikael took from him that night. Klaus then assured Delphina that he was not going to terrorize Rebekah and Marcel for centuries, nor will he torment, humiliate or dehumanize them, he will just end them. Klaus then speeds away before Delphina can respond.
==== Goodbye Rebekah ====
Since Klaus has allowed Rebekah to live if she leaves, Rebekah founds Delphina to say goodbye. Rebekah tells Delphina there is hope for Klaus and to be careful, that she loves her niece very much. Delphina said that Rebekah can always come back to visit her niece and herself and that they will all hide that from Klaus. Rebekah answered that if she can't she wanted Delphina to tell her daughter about "Crazy Auntie Bex" and despite her absence, she loves her very much.
==== A Month Later ====

Delphina calls the representatives of all the factions of New Orleans together at the church. Elijah tears the rules of Marcel apart since they no longer apply. Delphina tells them that they all have one very simple choice, they can work together or they can leave.

If they don't get a seat at the table she guarantees them they will all regret it. Delphina leaves to give Elijah and Hayley some alone time as she returns to the Compound.
When a party is thrown at the compound, Klaus, with the permission of Delphina, takes a specific interest in Jackson. He tells Jackson that his mother made a moonlight ring for his biological father that prevented him from turning. He could then access all the power he had as a wolf in his human form. Klaus tells Jackson he wants to give the werewolves rings like this so that they are strong enough to protect his unborn daughter. Vampires aren't loyal, werewolves however are. Family is very important to them and he wants the safety of that loyalty for his unborn daughter. Later, each representative, and Delphina. signs the treaty with their blood.

== Powers, Abilities, and Weaknesses ==
=== Powers ===
* Druid: The powers possessed by benevolent Druids who have not taken the darker path to becoming Darachs are largely undefined and are barely understood. The main power they possess seems to be the mastery of the use of Mountain Ash, allowing them to use their own willpower to manipulate the ash into the shape needed, typically in straight lines across the thresholds of doors or in perfect circles around them to protect themselves or others from supernatural threats. There are additional powers that seem to have been demonstrated by Druids, though they seem to vary based on the individual. As a Druid, Delphina has a range of undefined powers that have yet to fully be revealed. It is likely that she has additional powers, but he has yet to demonstrate them as of yet.
** Telekinesis: The ability to move things using the power of the mind. A dangerous power with numerous applications, telekinesis can be used to move living beings and inanimate objects alike, ranging from simply lifting objects off of the ground to viciously impaling people with weapons. Ismene demonstrates low levels of this power, having never turned into a Darach, though this ability was amplified when being Manipulated by the Nogitsune. As of yet, she has demonstrated an ability to almost magically break herself out of restraints and has broken a chair thrown by Peter Hale with her chest, both of which imply she may have telekinetic powers.
**Mountain Ash Manipulation: As a Druid, Delphina has a mastery over Mountain Ash and of which she can make barriers by throwing the ash and willing it into the shape she desires. 
*Super Strength: As a Dhampir, Delphina is stronger than werewolves, Evolved werewolves, Supernatural Hunters, immortals and humans. Due to her vampire side, she also get stronger with age. Older non-Original vampires may be stronger and more challenging for many newborn Dhampir, however, fighting a non-Original vampire closer to their age range, the Dhampir will win. Delphina can toss an average-size, fully-grown human across a room with great speed and force, single-handedly lifting grown men high off the ground by the throat, and snapping others necks. Her strength allows them to jump higher and further than any natural creature. The Dhampir who feed on humans are stronger than those who feed on animal blood, Delphina tries to drink as little human blood as possible to continue practicing as an Emissary. Although a Dhampir's strength enhances with age, it can also be noted that the emotional status of the dhampir takes a toll on the strength.
*Super Speed: As a Dhampir, Delphina has intensified quickness, agility, reflexes, and endurance makes them faster than many other human and supernatural beings. As with strength, Dhampir get faster with time. Delphina can accelerate her movement to cover short distances in an instant, usually faster than the human eye can see. When running across long distances, she appears as a vibrat blur of motion allowing her to appear or vanish quickly and quietly. Her reflexes and dexterity are similarly heightened, allowing them to catch certain projectiles such as arrows and thrown stakes in the air with ease.
*Super Agility: As a Dhampir, Delphina possess much more superhuman stamina, flexibility, reflexes, agility, and dexterity than many humans and supernatural beings. She can move, jump, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion.
*Super Senses: As a Dhampir, Delphina has extremely keen senses of hearing, sight, touch, and smell that mostly exceed those of other supernatural beings and humans. As a Dhampir, her senses are superior to the individual species, making their ability extremely effective. She can hear whispered conversations, even ones in far of buildings and on phones, though Delphina learned how to tune out most ambient noises when it's not necessary to hear them. Delphina can turn her enhanced hearing off, which explains why she can occasionally miss auditory warnings, such as the footsteps of approaching enemies, when she's paying attention to other things. Delphina can also smell blood from several meters away, and see in total darkness. Her sense of taste is also enhanced as well, allowing her to detect the presence of drugs, alcohol, or vervain in someone's blood.
*Super Durability: As a Dhampir, Delphina can bear a lot of trauma. She also hardly ever get tired or fatigued and can take far more trauma than other supernatural beings and humans, without much discomfort or injury. Even when shot with wooden bullets, which have a weakening effect on Dhampir, Delphina has been seen to continue fighting so long as she was not shot in the heart or the head. Delphina still reacts to physical force in a human manner, particularly in her younger day, when she would occasionally be affected even by human-strength-level force. Delphina can still be stunned and dazed by strikes and trauma, though her tolerance for it will increase as she gets older.
*Enhanced Healing Factor: As a Dhampir, Delphina has superior healing capabilities and can recover from most injuries much quicker and more effectively. This renders her practically invincible to anything but fatal wounds that can seriously impair their healing capabilities, such as decapitation or heart extraction. Human blood and blood from Niklaus has also been known to make the healing process faster. Delphina can recover tissue from any form of physical damage to her body within seconds to minutes, though she still feels the pain of a wound before it heals. Delphina can snap her bones back into place after they have been broken and has been seen to fully recover from gunshots, stab wounds, and torso impalement very quickly, so long as she had consumed a regular diet of human blood prior to the injury. When Delphina has feed on animals, she will still heal much faster than a human, but her injuries, especially severe ones, will take much longer to heal than a when she feeds on human blood. The only injury Delphina can sustain that cannot be healed on its own or by consuming more blood is a werewolf bite, which requires Klaus' or Hope's blood or a very rare scientifically-created serum to cure. Also, Delphina's enhanced healing is limited to physical damage to their bodies—many forms of magical damage and psychological damage are beyond her capability. Delphina cannot grow back body parts, though she can reattach the severed limb with some effort.
*Immortality: As a Dhampir, Delphina stopped aging the moment she transitioned. She become immune to all conventional diseases, toxins, poisons, viruses, illness, infections, and injuries.
*Enhanced Emotions: As a Dhampir, Delphina experiences emotions more powerfully than humans and some other supernatural creatures. Emotions like love, joy, and happiness are magnified for Delphina, allowing her to live life more intensely. This ability allows Delphina to feel emotions at their peak regardless of her age. Conversely, sadness, depression, guilt, fear and anger are also amplified.
*Mind Compulsion: As a Dhampir, Delphina can compel the minds of humans. She has the ability to influence and control thoughts, emotions, and behavior and can alter or erase memories. There is a sort of hierarchy as to how this ability works and have a weaker form than that of Original vampires and can only compel humans and cannot compel other supernatural beings.
*Telepathy: As a Dhampir, Delphina has the ability, albeit a weak variant, to enter the minds of others as long as hers is stronger than them. Normally, this ability works through tactile contact, usually by Delphina placing the palms of her hands on the temples of the victim whose mind she wants to enter. Delphina then closes her eyes and focuses on the information she wishes to seek, allowing her to sort through her victims' memories until she see what she's looking for. Like her physical attributes, her mental strength increases with age. It is one of the hardest abilities to master, and because of this, it is usually the last of the mind-control-related abilities a dhampir learns after becoming proficient in mind compulsion.
**Dream Manipulation: As a Dhampir, Delphina can control dreams and subconscious. She can produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares, or lucid dreaming. Other effects of this ability are the distortion of reality and trapped in dreams. This is an aspect of telepathy that is much easier to learn, however, this is a learned skill that requires practice to achieve.
**Illusions: As a Dhampir, Delphina has the power to trick the minds of others into seeing and feeling things that aren't actually happening.
==== Past Powers ====
The Nogitsune, as a 1,000+ year old dark Kitsune, was an especially powerful Fox spirit who seemed to have a high skill level in his powers. However, it is likely that he has many more powers than those that were shown on the series. The powers he was shown to use on-screen are as follows:
* Super Strength: As an ancient Kitsune, the Nogitsune possessed superhuman strength, though unlike many Kitsune, his strength was at least equal to that of an Alpha Werewolf. The Nogitsune could easily break out of handcuffs and other restraints, and was able to throw Derek Hale across the room with little effort. Despite his great strength, The Nogitsune preferred to use his intellect and trickery to destroy his enemies as befitting a trickster spirit.
* Super Speed, Agility, and Reflexes: As an ancient Kitsune, the Nogitsune possessed superhuman speed that allowed him to look as though he was a blur when he ran. He is also incredibly agile and had rapid reflexes, allowing him to quickly dodge attacks and catch projectiles. He used this ability to catch the taser darts when Allison Argent shot at him with her stun gun.
* Accelerated Healing: The Nogitsune possessed an enhanced regenerative healing ability that gave him immunity to all human diseases and conditions and allowed him to heal from the majority of wounds; mild to moderate wounds healed within minutes, while more serious wounds could take several hours. He was presumably unable to get drunk on alcohol or high on drugs due to the fact that his body healed too quickly.
** Longevity: Kitsune are very long-lived creatures who can potentially live for centuries, due in part to their advanced healing factor. The Nogitsune claimed that he was over 1,000 years old, and since no one has yet found an effective way to truly kill him, it is quite possible that he's actually immortal—all attempts to kill the Nogitsune have ended in his vessel being destroyed with his spirit living on in the shape of a fly.
* Electricity Immunity: As a Kitsune, the Nogitsune is immune to all forms of electricity, as proven when he caught a taser dart and was completely unaffected by the electricity surging through his body. This immunity is usually related to a Kitsune's foxfire ability, but since the Nogitsune was never seen producing electricity of any kind, it is unknown if he has the ability to create, control, and release foxfire.
* Aura Manipulation: All Kitsune have flaming auras around their bodies in the shape of a fox that is undetectable by the human eye. With age and wisdom, they can learn to both conceal it from supernatural eyes or make it visible to anyone, regardless of their human or supernatural identity. Given the Nogitsune's immense age and advanced control over his powers, it is likely that he can conceal his aura from many different supernatural creatures, allowing his possession of Stiles Stilinski to go unnoticed for many weeks.
* Shapeshifting: Kitsune are often referred to as shapeshifters due to their trickster nature, and it has been said on several occasions that a Kitsune can shapeshift into a human form after they reach 100 years of age. The Nogitsune has been shown to take the form of a fly, which he can then use to possess others, though it is unknown if he has further shapeshifting abilities.
* Possession: Also known as kitsune-tsuki, the Nogitsune has the ability to possess the bodies of humans (it is unknown if they can possess other supernatural beings as well, though it has been implied that they can possess other Kitsune who are in human form). The Nogitsune used this power to possess both Corporal Rhys and Stiles Stilinski, possibly among many others in his millennium-long life.
* Pain Absorption: Like Werewolves and Werecoyotes, the Nogitsune possesses the ability to absorb pain from living beings through tactile contact. This ability manifests in the form of darkening blood vessels that begin at the point of contact and work their way up from the fingers to the arm toward the chest and neck. As a Void Kitsune who feeds on chaos, strife, and pain for sustenance, the Nogitsune's pain absorption power was much more advanced than that of other creatures. However, it is unknown if the Nogitsune can siphon the effects of other negative emotions during his feedings in this manner as well.
* Illusion Casting: As a Void Kitsune, the Nogitsune possesses a very powerful ability to create lifelike illusions to confuse and disorient his victims. He has used this ability on numerous occasions, including: influencing Stiles' dreams while he was possessing him; causing Stiles to believe he was playing Go with him on the Nemeton in the White Room while inside his mind; causing Scott McCall and Lydia Martin to believe that they were making out with Allison Argent and looking for Jackson Whittemore, respectively; and making Scott, Stiles, Lydia, and Kira Yukimura believe that they were in the snow-covered garden at Ikeda's house in Japan rather than at the high school in Beacon Hills.
* Zoopathy: As a Void Kitsune, the Nogitsune had the ability to produce and control swarms of flies from within his body, which he then could use to turn humans and supernatural creatures into his thralls. The flies would enter the body through an orifice (such as the mouth, nose, or ear) or through a wound and would take root in the back of the throat. From there, the Nogitsune could control what the possessed person would do. In some cases, such as with William Barrow and Oliver, they were simply given a task to perform, usually in order for the Nogitsune to gain control of their host or to give him more power. However, in other cases, the Nogitsune would lower the thralls' inhibitions and increase their anger, causing them to act on their rage when they ordinarily wouldn't; for example, Isaac Lahey went after Ethan and Aiden to gain revenge on them for killing Erica Reyes and Vernon Boyd, despite the fact that they were then packmates and had made peace, while Derek Hale attacked Chris Argent in retribution for his sister setting the Hale House Fire that killed his family. There are two known methods to free a person from the control of the Nogitsune fly: the person can either be fed wild purple reishi mushrooms, which will cause them to cough up the fly, or the fly can be physically removed by another person by reaching into the back of their throat and extracting it.
=== Abilities ===
* Master Martial Artist: Delphina is an extremely skilled and formidable hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist. She started off training as a child, picking it up here before being trained by Chris Argent and Klaus. Delphina is extremely skilled in the field of martial arts, having mastered arts such as Sambo, Hapkido, Krav Maga, Wing Chun, Taekwondo, Muay Thai, Taijutsu, Fencing, and Kali. She combines an acrobatic style of fighting with a more direct and hands-on way of fighting. She takes practical approaches to her fights, quickly analyzing her enemies to better defeat them. Delphina is able to quickly use her surroundings to her advantage and use random items as improvised weaponry. She is also very physically strong and resilient with very good reflexes. 
* Knife Mastery: Delphina was trained and is highly skilled at using a knife in combat. She is also able to throw knives with precision and accuracy.
* Sword Mastery: Delphina is extremely skilled at using a sword in comba. She trained in fencing at a young age and is able to easily gain the upper hand in battles against skilled fighters without much difficulty. 
* Master Marksman: Delphina is highly skilled and well-trained in firearms, including pistols, sniper rifles and grenade launchers. 
* Master Acrobat: At a young age, Delphina trained in gymnastics. She is highly skilled in incorporating gymnastics and acrobatics into her fighting style as she battles opponents. She has been very flexible since a young age, as she could already assume the upward bow position at the age of six. Delphina had numerous complex maneuvers and feats throughout her battles defeats many guards with ease.
* Mythological Knowledge: Due to her Druid training, Delphina has a great deal of knowledge about numerous mythological beings and stories. As an Emissary, she is most knowledgeable about Werewolves and Vampires, but she has also shown an understanding of other supernatural creatures, such as Werecoyotes, Kitsune, Oni, and Garudas. However, this knowledge is not absolute, as she needed to gain information from the Argent Bestiary to learn more about the Kanima, and seemed to lack extensive information about Werejaguars.
* Herbological Knowledge: Due to her Druid training, Delphina has an immense knowledge of the use of herbs and plants, both as medicine, in spells and rituals, and as a weapon. She has used Mountain Ash, which is incinerated rowan wood, to great effect, and has instructed Scott McCall on the uses of mistletoe, both as weapons, as a cure, or in spells. She also knew the uses of lichen, specifically a strain known as "letharia vulpina" that had been grown from the blood of a Nogitsune, to help weaken the Void Kitsune possessing Stiles.
* Expert Weapons Knowledge/Training: Delphina is trained in the use of guns, bows, swords, daggers, and chained weapons. She is also able to assemble and disassemble more complicated weapons, and was shown to have made five of her own silver arrowheads by hand, which were designed with the Argent fleur-de-lis. Delphina also demonstrated competence with a katana during a battle.
* Tactician: Delphina is capable of organizing and executing plans for various missions.
* Expert Manipulator: In desperate situations, Delphina was shown to be quite good at manipulating others to give her the information she wanted.
* Medical Training: With Delphina being a registered nurse at the hospital, she has acquired a great deal of medical skills and training. The fact that she has been able to perform these kinds of procedures and other treatments such as chelation therapy and injecting cortisone into vocal cords suggests that she may be a nurse practitioner, an advanced-practice nurse who is only a step below that of a general physician, giving them the authority to conduct histories and physicals, perform complicated procedures, and prescribe medications. She often uses her advanced medical and nursing knowledge in conjunction with Alan Deaton's expert veterinary knowledge in order to help treat the various supernatural creatures (and those humans sickened or injured by the supernatural) in Beacon Hills. When Scott was badly injured by Ennis and too overwhelmed with guilt to allow himself to heal, Delphina used a sanitized needle and thread to sew up Scott's wounds, which allowed him to finally recover. She managed to save Danny's life after he was brought to the ER with tension pneumothorax by using an open-ended syringe to release the air in his pleural cavity, which had created so much pressure that it was smothering him. She identified the symptoms Stiles Stilinski was experiencing during his possession by the Nogitsune were almost exactly the same as the symptoms his mother, Claudia Stilinski, experienced as a result of her frontotemporal dementia.
* Multilingualism: At her own personal request, Delphina was trained to speak fluent French along with her Native english. She is also well versed in Latin, Spanish, Italian, German, and a bit of American Sign Language.
* Musician: To some extent in her youth, Delphina trained to be able to play the cello, even becoming first chair in her schools orchestra. She continued to use her tallet to calm her nerves her whole life.
=== Weaknesses ===
* Kanima Venom: Delphina is vulnerable to the effects of Kanima venom when it came into contact with her skin. On at least one occasion, Delphina was scratched by Jackson Whittemore while he was the Kanima, which caused her to be completely paralyzed for several hours before it worked itself out of her system.
*Animal Blood: Animal blood, while somewhat satisfying a Dhampir's hunger and sustaining their undead life, will make the vampire considerably weaker than they would be if they had drank human blood, causing their physical abilities to be inferior to a human-blood-consuming Dhampir, making them heal much more slowly, and making their compulsion less effective.
*Broken Neck: Breaking a Dhampir's neck will result in their temporary death, though they will revive a short time later.
* The Cure: If a Dhampir takes the cure, they will revert back to being a human again. Once taken, the cure prevents them from being immortal again, causing the body to reject vampire blood.
* Decapitation: Dismembering or removing the head of a Dhampir will result in instant death.
* Desiccation: Being completely drained of blood or the heart-stopping will cause a Dhampir to desiccate due to their vampire side, losing most of its strength and any ability to move. This process can be replicated artificially by magic.
* Heart Extraction: Removing a Dhampir's heart will result in instant death.
* Invitation: Due to their vampire heritage, Dhampir are unable to enter a home without an invitation.
* Physical Trauma: Minor physical injuries such as gunshots, stab wounds, and broken bones will cause a Dhampir pain and also slow them down. However, this is momentary as they will heal completely within seconds. It seems physical trauma can give them pain and weaken them anywhere on the body.
* Poison: There are various poisons that are capable of incapacitating or desiccating a Dhampir when administered. It is unknown what effect, if any, any of these poisons would have if ingested by a Dhampir.
* Vervain: Dhampir are affected by vervain and they can't compel anyone on vervain. Exposure to or ingestion of vervain causes a vampire to become severely feverish and weak to the point that it can even hinder their healing abilities as well. Also, physical contact with vervain will burn a vampire's skin. Vampires cannot compel anyone who has ingested vervain or has it on their person. Many vampires drink small amounts of diluted vervain to protect themselves from Original vampires' compulsion and to reduce its effects when used against them by enemies.
* Wolfsbane: Dhampir are affected by wolfsbane.
*Werewolf Venom: The bite of a werewolf, which involves injecting toxic venom into the wound, is extremely lethal to vampires. It will cause them to hallucinate, grow severely weak, and go rabid until it kills them. Klaus' or Hope's blood is the only surefire way to cure the bite, though one of the doctors allied with the Travelers managed to come up with a cure for the enhanced Ripper compound, which contained small amounts of werewolf venom. Lucien Castle also possessed a scientifically-created serum that, when injected into a werewolf bite wound, would cure the vampire of the venom's effects and allow them to heal the wound. Vampires suffering from the bite seem to always hallucinate either significant moments from their past, significant people in their lives, or specific actions of the vampire that they feel guilty or ashamed about.
**Advanced Werewolf Venom: Lucien Castle invented an advanced strain of venom derived from the seven werewolf bloodlines with no known cure. The venom is infused in the bite of an Upgraded Original vampire. Similarly, it is fatal to that of a werewolf or hybrid bite, although working twice as fast and more painfully. It is so potent that not even the blood of Klaus or Hope Mikaelson can cure it, nor will the blood of the Upgraded Original vampire.
* Wood: Wounding Dhampir with a wooden weapon such as wooden bullets will incapacitate them.
*Fire: Vampires are highly flammable and sensitive to fire, and will quickly burn and die from it if the flames are not extinguished in time. This quality has been proven to be useful in disposing of the remains of a dead vampire without any physical evidence. However, in some cases, vampires have used this vulnerability to their advantage, such as when Elijah and Elena removed their daylight rings and exposed their hands to sunlight near an open gas leak, causing explosions and fireballs to incapacitate or kill their enemies and dampening the flames before they can do harm to themselves.
*Magic: Vampires are susceptible to the powers of witchcraft. This is inclusive of mystical objects such as the Gilbert Device and dark objects. A Siphoner can also siphon the magic from a vampire to fuel their spells. Witches have been seen to use magic to cause agonizing pain by inducing aneurysms in their brain or muscle spasms, telekinetically ripping out their hearts or snapping their necks, magically increasing their hunger for blood to unbearable levels, setting them ablaze with a single thought, and desiccating them to the point of mummification.
*Sunlight: Sunlight and UV rays burn vampires on contact, and prolonged exposure will cause them to burst into flames and die. However, this weakness can be mitigated by the use of a lapis lazuli stone enchanted with a specific protection spell by a witch for a particular vampire, which is usually affixed to jewelry, though it requires the vampire to wear the stone at all times.
*Vampire Bloodline: If an Original vampire dies, all vampires descended from their bloodline will slowly perish as well. Members of Klaus' bloodline were unlinked from him; thus they were spared upon his death unlike Finn, Kol, and Elijah's sirelines.
