Monique Deveraux

Monique Deveraux was a witch who first appeared in the fifth episode and was a major antagonist of the first season of The Originals. She was the daughter of Jane-Anne Deveraux and the niece of Sophie Deveraux. She was chosen by the French Quarter Coven Elder Bastianna Natale as one of Harvest girls to participate in the Harvest ritual. However, the ritual was delayed and she spent over a year with the Ancestors on the Ancestral Plane. She was eventually resurrected in Crescent City after the completion of the Harvest following Papa Tunde's death. After being resurrected, she murdered her aunt Sophie for her lack of faith in their community and ability to rid it of vampires. In From a Cradle to a Grave, she was murdered by Marcel Gerard with the Devil's Star during a failed attempt to sacrifice and consecrate Hope on Esther Mikaelson's orders.
Monique was a member of the Deveraux Family.
==Early History==
Monique was born to Jane-Anne Deveraux as a result of a teenage pregnancy. She grew up close to Sophie because there was a few years age difference and became aware of her witch legacy at some point. She was friends with Abigail, Cassie, and Davina Claire and all of them were chosen as Harvest girls to participate in the Harvest Ritual. After she was sacrificed, she, Abigail, and Cassie spent a year with the Ancestors on the Ancestral Plane. During her time with the Ancestors, she witnessed what was happened to their community and control the vampires had over the witches.
==Throughout The Originals Series==
===Season One===
==Personality==
Monique seemed to be a very kind and obedient girl as she listened to her mother about The Harvest.
After her resurrection she'd become cold and dedicated to her cause. Due to her death, she was united with the ancestral spirits who molded her into a weapon for the witches to reclaim the quarter from the vampires. She was heartless and ruthless enough to kill her aunt, she showed no remorse or guilt over this action, justifying killing her aunt as a casualty of war, and was visibly unshaken by her actions. Her faith in nature has changed her from an innocent girl into a religious soldier for her coven.
Nevertheless, Monique seems to have some honor, as when Elijah told her that Celeste was not a real believer and that she would not release the power she had gained from the Harvest back into the Earth, she gave him the benefit of the doubt and used her magic to make sure that, if and when she used the body jump spell, she would return to her own remains and not be able to escape her death at Elijah's hands.
Also, Monique seems to harbor a hatred for Davina, born out of the fact that Davina had worked against the witches at every turn, and Davina had a hand in her mother's death.
She also has shown sadistic and psychotic traits. She seems to enjoy inflicting pain and misery such as when she killed her aunt, attacked a daywalker, smiling at the vampires pain, and enjoys being mean and tormenting Davina. She has been shown to be eager to kill anyone who defies the ancestors, regardless of intentions.
Monique however, did show signs of arrogance. Her zealous belief in the ancestors caused her to believe that they, and therefore she, could not fail. To this end, she overconfidently told Hayley neither she, nor the Original Vampires, could stop them from sacrificing Hope, despite the powers of the original vampires.
==Physical Appearance==
Monique was an attractive girl with a strong resemblance to her mother and aunt. She had long dark brown hair, hazel eyes and thin eyebrows. She stood at 5'3", and her frame was slim and petite.
==Powers and Abilities==
Monique possessed the standard powers and abilities of a witch and was chosen to become a Harvest witch by the Elders of the French Quarter Coven for her great potential. Since returning from the dead, Monique had displayed a considerable amount of power and skill. She was able to easily kill her aunt by casting a fatal pain infliction, causing her to hemorrhage to death. She was also able to cast a Devinette on Elijah Mikaelson. She had knowledge on spells that allow her to communicate with the Ancestors. She even restored a dead rose to life. Her most note-worthy feats as a Harvest girl were casting a spell from Esther's grimoire that forcibly sent the spirit of Céleste Dubois into her original body and almost killing Hayley Marshall with a curse she cast on a poppet. She was also able to easily snap Klaus' neck with a flick of her hand.
==Weaknesses==
Monique had the typical weaknesses of a witch.

==Trivia==
*Monique and Davina seemed to be very close. In Sinners and Saints, Davina mentioned that she has only considered Timothy and Monique as her friends. However, this changed as of Moon Over Bourbon Street and Davina's unwillingness to complete the Harvest and siding with vampires.
*During the Harvest, and similarly for the Fête des Bénédictions, she represented the element of earth which was called upon to connect them to their ancestors.
*In Farewell to Storyville, it is revealed that the Ancestors were with her, Abigail, and Cassie while they were dead and on the Ancestral Plane. They were taught by the Ancestors and they were resurrected stronger than before when they were sacrificed.
