**Hope Andrea Rebekah Raeken Talbot Mikaelson** is a main character and protagonist in *Teen Wolf* and *Teen Wolf: The Movie.* She is the tribrid daughter of Niklaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall-Kenner. She is the granddaughter of Ansel, Esther Mikaelson and two unnamed werewolves, as well as the step-granddaughter of Mikael. She is also the niece of Freya, Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, Henrik Mikaelson, as well as Faith Labonair, and the grand-niece of Dahlia. She is also a distant relative of Lana, Eve, and Cary. She is the adoptive younger sister of Marcel Gerard via her father. Due to his marriage to Hayley, Jackson Kenner was her step-father for almost a year, until he was killed by Tristan de Martel. She is the mother to EJ and Andrea with her current mate, Brett Talbot, Blade and Artemis Mikaelson with her former mate, Theo Raeken, and adoptive older cousin to Lizzie, Josie, and Selena Mikaelson.

She was named Hope by her father, who took inspiration from his half-brother Elijah's words about his newborn child being their family's hope. One of her middle names is Andrea after her mothers birth-name, her other middle name is Rebekah after her paternal aunt, after Theo's death she still kept Raeken and put it as her third middle name. After getting married to Brett she takes his last name as well as keeping her maiden name.

As a result of her unique heritage, she is the world's first werewolf-witch-vampire hybrid. She inherited her werewolf gene from both of her parents, while her vampire and witch legacy came from her father who is the Original vampire-werewolf hybrid and the son of the Original Witch. Through her mother's Labonair lineage, Hope is werewolf royalty.

Hope was sent away to be raised by Rebekah and Marcel, in order to protect her from her father's enemies: the Guerrera Wolves, Esther, and Dahlia. Her death was faked to protect her. Hope was raised in Beacon Hills for years; her family visiting her whenever they can. Eventually when Hope and her cousins reached middle school they moved back to New Orleans, it finally being safe again.

After having the Hollow's spirit separated into four members of her family, she, Lizzie, Josie, and Hayley leave New Orleans and heads to Los Angeles for five years. As time goes by, she becomes determined to see her father again, despite the consequences that could ensue. Eventually after her parents death Rebekah and Marcel brings Hope, Lizzie, and Josie back to Beacon Hills.

**Hope** is a member of the **Mikaelson Family**, **Labonair Family**, **Kenner Family**, and an unnamed **family of werewolves**. She is tied to the **Talbot Family** and **Raeken Family**. Hope is by birthright a member turned alpha of the **Crescent Wolf Pack**, **North East Atlantic Pack**, alpha and creator of the **Mikaelson Pack**, as well as an unnamed **witch family**, and the only child fathered by the Original Hybrid. She is also a member of the **McCall Pack**. She has a mysterious connection to the Aztec jaguar god **Tezcatlipoca** and the **Berserker Species**.

## Physical Appearance

As a baby, Rebekah mentioned that Hope looked like her mother. On the other hand, Klaus blissfully implied that Hope inherited his eyes. As a baby, she had dirty-blonde hair and round dark-blue eyes. As a child, she had long auburn hair and light blue eyes. Her cheeks had little freckles scattered across them. She was seen in light-colored sleeveless dresses, that normally had flowers or other prints on them. Hope also had dimples in her cheeks.

As a teenager, Hope is the shortest among her friends and peers standing at 5'3" tall. She frequently wears heeled boots to accentuate her height or outfits. She has wavy auburn or dark brown hair that is seen in many styles. She has bright light-colored blue eyes and full lips. She wears relaxed yet edgy clothing that compliments her full, curvy figure. She is always seen wearing her mother's stone necklace, a Mikaelson family crest necklace, a wishbone necklace, and earrings. Caroline Forbes described her as beautiful. As a Labonair, Hope has a Crescent birthmark on her right shoulder, similar to that of her mother and distant relatives, Eve, Lana, and the Hollow.

Hope's wardrobe and fashion choices begin to expand. She wears primarily black or deep reds in the form of jumpers, boots, or jackets. She also experiments with her hair, wearing it in a top knot, a high ponytail, or crinkles for the first time. She also begins to wear more rings, hooped earrings, and less necklaces, having given her Mikaelson necklace and the crescent moon necklace that belonged to her mother with Josie. Hope also wears heavier makeup around her eyes and switches to a light red lipstick. She has more confidence and cockiness in her stance.

Now, with her humanity returned she still expands on her outfit choices. She mixes her new fashion choices by wearing her favorite color top paired with black leather jackets, switches up from combat boots, to pumps, and rarely converse, but is seen wearing them. She dials down on the makeup but wears more then what she did before.

In her wolf form, Hope possesses white fur and has the typical glowing yellow eyes that come with Lycanthropy. In her vampire form, Hope maintains her golden yellow eyes but with an addition of vivid red at the inner corner on her irises and gained black veins that cascade from her lower eyelids to just above her cheekbones.

## Personality

* With Humanity
* Without Humanity

Even when she was a baby, Hope was said to be a fighter. It was said by both of her parents; Hayley where she said to her doctor that her daughter was a tough one just like herself, and by Klaus when he said that both Hayley and Hope were fighters. Both times it is implied that Hope inherited this trait from her mother who got it herself from her own uncle. She also seems to be a very calm and happy. Freya says that, like her paternal family, she is resilient. She is also seemingly very intelligent as she was able to use her magic to turn Camille's car on and off, despite still being a baby. Hope seems to be a kind and gentle young girl, with a sweet and innocent persona.

As a teenager, Hope is shown to be stubborn and brave as she was willing to put herself through extreme pain and possible death in order to get her mother back. Klaus describe Hope as being smart, possibly too smart for her own good, like her father. It has been shown that Hope has gained one of her father's traits of doing whatever she can to protect her family. Hope is always offering to help to save those she cares about and considers family, including Marcel. However, once Hope magically absorbs the Hollow’s soul, it nearly drives her insane because she constantly starts to hear whispers of voices in her head. The only way she can end the madness going on inside her head is by committing acts of violence. Instead of taking her anger and frustrations out on innocents, she takes it out on those she deems not innocent (provided with her father's assistance). However, her desire to quell the voices by using violence and magic causes her to kill someone who is innocent, although she intended not to.

Hope often puts her safety and life on the line to save others, making her a true hero. She is incredibly loyal to her friends, despite her difficulties working with a team. She is independent and believes she can complete any task by herself, though she slowly becomes more willing to work with others. She does a dark magic resurrection spell to bring back her best friend, in doing so she died from overuse of her magic. She decided to become the full tribrid despite having the fear of her being locked in her trauma, that she wouldn't be capable of bearing the loss or guilt over her father, mother, and uncles death and everything she had to deal with in between. The way she lived her life earned her the option of finding peace when she died. However, she chose to return to save everyone from the Dread Doctors and Theo.

After the love of her life died Hope's humanity starts to flicker and no humanity Hope appears to her. No humanity Hope promises that if Hope turns her humanity off all the pain and overwhelming emotions will go away and she'll be free. Hope continues to fight her dark side but slowly her dark side starts to take over. No humanity Hope pushes more and more and says all the cycle of love, lose, grief, and so on will stop if Hope starts embracing what she's meant to be. Eventually Hope chooses to embrace her dark side and shuts her humanity off.

Theo appeals to Hope's humanity and she admits that she felt betrayed and heartbroken for him using her. She expresses that she just wants someone to love her without it hurting in the end. The admission allows her flickering humanity to break through, materializing in her mind as two separate entities. Hope gains the upper hand against her darker half, confessing that she needs to be worth the sacrifices her family made, and won't be if she keeps letting her darker half burn the world. She accepts that her intelligence, paired with the deep love and loyalty she has for her loved ones, is what makes her Klaus and Hayley's daughter.

Hope sees a message from her father who has finally found Peace. He wants her to live her life and understand that despite the inevitable hard times ahead, she's a Mikaelson and will survive. With the knowledge Klaus is okay, Hope finally lays him to rest and takes her fathers advice as she prepares for the next chapter of her immortal life.

In the years of her new immortal life she had two more children with her new mate. She finished law school at Yale and opened up her own law firm to help people. She uses her status as a lawyer to help an innocent stay out of jail for the wrongful murder of his wife which makes her happy that she's able to help someone.

Hope admits that her dark self was right, she feels free after turning it all off, as though she can finally be who she wants and go where she wants. Her life has been a cycle of love, lose, grief, and repeat, but that's all gone now. She states that she is her father's daughter, accepting that fact for the first time.

Hope's dedication to her family is also gone, as she doesn't want the pack or her family to come for her. She turns away from them as she refuses to make the same mistakes her father did - caring about family or love. While cutting them out of her life, Hope exhibits a flicker of emotion when she admits that her father died because of her. However, she's finally free to live her life the way she chooses, a fact that seems to propel her choices.

When forced to revisit her worst memory, seeing Brett die right in front of her, her humanity materializes as the Hope from that night. She refers to the humanity switch as a coping mechanism. Josie states that Theo is Hope's new mate and the McCall Pack puts their trust into Theo, knowing that he's her mate to try and bring Hope's humanity back so she can help them fight the Anuk-ite.

Hope tries to push Theo away, insulting and threatening him whenever possible. Hope says it's his fault in the first place that she become the full tribrid and that if he hadn't killed Scott she'd still be alive. Theo reminds her that he actually loves her and that he never wanted her to transition into the full tribrid; that he wanted her to grow old and live life. Her humanity appears, outsmarting her, and ultimately stake her in a symbolic display of decimation.
## Powers and Abilities

As a hybrid of five supernatural species - a witch, a werewolf from both breeds, a werejaguar, and a vampire; the full extent and limits of Hope's powers are currently unknown. Hope is one of Nature's loophole.

* Witch-Nature
* Werewolf-Nature
* Werejaguar-Nature
* Vampire-Nature

Hope is a witch-hybrid, having inherited her witch gene from her father, the son of Esther Mikaelson. According to Dahlia, as a firstborn of their bloodline, Hope has inherited great, but devastating power. Dahlia also notes that Hope's magic will be tainted by Klaus' vampire blood as well as the aggressive wolf temperament. Despite this, Genevieve states that Hope's magic is strong enough to fuel the French Quarter Coven's ancestral power for generations, while one of the Hollow's acolytes reiterates this sentiment when he states that Hope might be the greatest witch the world may ever know.

As a baby, Hope demonstrated heightened awareness of the impending explosion at her family's house and she used her magic to temporarily turn off Camille's car (as they were on their way there) to protect herself and Camille. She then used it again to turn the car back on.

After five years of being hidden from the world, Hope has been able to heal insect wings with no formal training, with her bracelet removed. She's also had a connection to the Hollow, drawing her sigil, the Ouroboros, though whether that was an inherent connection or the link that was used in an attempt to sacrifice her, remains to be known. Her connection to New Orleans soil, despite not being a Harvest girl or apparent knowledge of the Ancestors, allowed her to communicate with them, where as non-witches could not. It is worthy to note that Hope has detected these events while still wearing her bracelet that blocks her power. While other children were unconscious as a result of being tied to a spell that was draining their energy, Hope was able to retain her consciousness like her siblings until her magic sealing bracelet was removed by Klaus. Hope managed to counter the boundary spell cast by her aunt Freya on Marcel. She would later use her telekinesis to break the salt circle that bound the spirit of Davina to the mortal plane, sending her back to the Ancestral Plane, and returned their father back to his body.

Seven years later, Hope has improved control over her magic as a teenager; however, such control is lost during bursts of anger. She has also shown skill in creating her own spells, such that she created a spell combined with a cloaking spell that she performed on Hayley, as she was the one to kidnap her and lure Klaus back to New Orleans. She claimed that it was the "perfect" cloaking spell and that it would keep her safe; despite this claim, she was kidnapped again.

While Hope was the Hollow's vessels, containing both spirit and Dark Magic, her magic was amplified by that of the Hollow, as she whispered to her in her attempt to corrupt her. During this time, Hope's telekinesis and pain infliction seemed to be amplified as purging her pain, by using her magic, seemed to be the only course of treatment.

Unlike every witch that transitioned into a vampire, Hope did not lose her ability to practice magic when she became a full tribrid. She was, however, unable to access her magic when she was in transition which left her vulnerable. After feeding, she regained access to her magic, in addition to her vampire and werewolf natures.

Hope is also part werewolf, having inherited the werewolf gene from both of her parents. Prior to triggering her curse, she displayed some increased agility and grace, above that of a normal human. Since she has triggered her werewolf gene, she has gained all of the powers of lycanthropy. With Hope's first transformation with her siblings looming, Caroline questions that Crescent wolves could control their transformations. In response, Klaus states that the first transformation is a rite of passage and cannot be controlled. This implicates that her werewolf nature as an Evolved Werewolf with the ability of Transformation Control.

However, Hope states to Scott that her ability to control her transformation stems from her tribrid status, as like with other werewolf-vampire hybrids. Currently, whether it's the former or latter which grants her transformation control, or additional abilities as an evolved werewolf, remains unknown. Additionally Klaus explains that during werewolf transformations, the pain will make one want to delay the shift because that is all they believe they can handle. However, should one let the pain in, then it cannot break oneself. Following Klaus' instruction, Hope has accepted the pain during her transformation, thus it allows her to fully transform within a few minutes instead of a few hours. Despite that the werewolf curse was originally casted upon Native American witches, preventing them and their descendants from using magic, Hope's lycanthropy does not negate her ability to practice magic; further reasoning about this has not been elaborated upon.

Upon completing her transition into a fully activated tribrid Hope gained the ability to transform from human to wolf form within seconds while magically maintaining her clothing. Her transition also included an energy wave that rippled over her body as she transitioned from one form to another, a trait that is not present in other werewolf transformations.

When then Alpha Derek Hale gave her the bite before becoming the full tribrid, thinking she'd be stronger to fight the infection that she's under she was turned into his breed of werewolf and werejaguar and she got their abilities, while her speed, strength, and everything else amplified even more. She's able to catch a sent farther than the other wolves, she's faster than all the Alpha's she has met, and stronger.

She possesses superhuman strength, speed, agility, durability, senses, and accelerated healing possessed by all werecreatures, along with the animal instincts of a jaguar and the ability to shapeshift her features into that of a jaguar as well; this includes bluish-purple skin with black patches, glowing bright green eyes, long and sharp fangs and claws, and a ridged brow.

Her strength was so powerful that she could explode if her new found powers are not controlled. Hope's magical or mystical abilities have yet to be explored and it is currently unknown.

Before becoming an activated tribrid, Hope possessed a few vampiric traits, specifically her blood. Her blood was able to heal her mother while in the womb as well as she's able to heal herself, such as when she sliced open her hand. Her blood can be used to sire new vampires and hybrids, the latter being an ability possessed by the Original Hybrid, her father as well as to heal vampires from a werewolf bite.

After completing her transition, Hope was still able to practice magic, as she created a sword out of her blood. Her true form did not alter much, as she maintained her golden eyes from her breed of wolf while she got blue and green from her other wolf and jaguar side. Hope showed her ability to compel fellow vampires when she accidentally compelled Lizzie. Previously, this has only been possible by an Original vampire.
## Weaknesses

According to Dahlia, firstborns of her family's bloodline inherit great power; however, it is unstable and will damage and, ultimately, kill the witch if they are not taught to contain it. Furthermore, as a possessor of the werewolf gene, Hope will experience bouts of severe aggression. The full extent and limits of Hope's weaknesses are currently unknown.

Emmett claimed that Marcel's advanced werewolf venom can take down a hybrid, an Original, and *even* Hope Mikaelson. However, he gave no evidence as to why it would or could be lethal to Hope nor has this been proven to be true.

The Spirits claimed the tree in her back yard can kill the tribrid where nature had created near the birth of the tribrid. The red oak tree, when sharpened to a stake, is powerful enough to kill Hope. Similar to that of her biological family, Hope can be daggered and temporarily desiccated by the white oak ash daggers. However, she cannot be daggered for long without resurrecting due to her tribrid nature. This is a feat that even the Original vampires are unable to do, as the dagger has to be removed for them to revive.

## Relationships

### Hayley Marshall-Kenner

*Main Article: Hayley and Hope*
Hayley is Hope's mother and it is shown various times that Hayley strongly loves her daughter. When she first discovered she was pregnant, she attempted to abort the baby by ingesting wolfsbane, but when she couldn't resolve herself to do it she was attacked and she realized that she wasn't just protecting herself but the baby as well. She then learned that she will have a daughter. As time passed, Hayley grew concerned that because she never had a loving mother in her life, she would not know how to be a good mother to her daughter, but eventually, that faded and she grew to love the child deeply and like Klaus, is dedicated to protecting her at all costs. This is shown when Genevieve and the Harvest girls kidnapped Hope, and tried to kill her.

Hayley was there and fought for her daughter, and got her back. She also demonstrated the aptitude to know where her daughter is, even if she is hidden by a spell. Hayley made a promise to herself and Hope that she (Hope) would grow up safe and loved (unlike herself). She kept this promise by choosing to send Hope away with Rebekah to keep her safe from those that would wish her harm in New Orleans. After a few months apart they were reunited. Hope is now living with her parents and family in The Abattoir.

### Niklaus Mikaelson

*Main Article: Klaus and Hope*
Klaus is Hope's father, and even though at first he refused the child, he soon accepted her and was determined to not be like his step-father to his child. He even told Hayley that the cycle of the pain will end with their baby. After that, he did everything he could to make sure she was kept safe and was shown to be happy when he learned the baby would be a girl. He wants to protect her at all costs and hopes to be in her life someday when it is safe for her. He is not giving up on being in his daughter's life quite yet. He is also dedicated to being a better father to her than his step-father was to him. His love for his daughter brings out the best in Klaus, best seen in his reconciliation with both Rebekah and Marcel. With the child being born, Klaus is becoming the man he used to be. After some time apart from his daughter, she returned home. However, he remains paranoid as he worries about her safety.

Hope and Klaus' bond remain strong during the rest of the series until they were separated due to Klaus sacrificing himself to save his family. But Hope's memory of him was kept alive because of her mother telling Hope about her father such as his loyalty to his family, his love for her and his interests that she now shares with him. They were reunited after five years and, despite some initial nervousness on both sides, they shared a lovely day, it showing just how alike they are. Klaus shared stories from his long life, Hope showed him her magic when she healed a butterfly and they painted together.

Apart from some of the bad things he's done Hope knows what Klaus is and isn't afraid of him. She knows how strong he is and, because of that, she believes he can keep bad things away. Once he promised that nothing was going to harm her Hope hugged him. Despite their time apart Hope calls Klaus "Dad", showing that their bond is still strong. Because of her mother telling her about her father Hope deems Klaus her "fairytale prince".

### Rebekah Mikaelson

*Main Article: Rebekah and Hope*
Rebekah left town before Hope's birth but soon returned when Klaus asked her to protect his daughter. Klaus told Rebekah that despite their differences, there was nobody else he would trust more with the life of his daughter. Rebekah left New Orleans with Hope and became her guardian; she often told Hope stories of her birth and how her parents sent her away to be safe. Rebekah and Hope returned to New Orleans after Esther found them. Rebekah cared deeply for Hope and stayed in her life until the Hollow forces them to separate. She gives Hope a Mikaelson family crest necklace, delivered through Freya, that Hope wore for over seven years. When Hope activated her tribrid nature, she turned off her humanity and fled Beacon Hills. Rebekah tracked her down in an attempt to convince her to come home with her, where the family would help her grieve over the lost of her mate and friend. Hope refused and Rebekah realized her niece's humanity was off. Rebekah daggered Hope but was incapacitated before they can leave. Hope pulled out the dagger and confronted her aunt that night. Hope wanted to be left alone and refused to make her father's mistake of caring about love or family. Hope then told Rebekah that if she didn't leave she'd rip her head off. Rebekah was devastated by her niece cutting her out of her life. Eventually Hope returned to Rebekah and apologized for what she did and asked for forgiveness. Rebekah smiled, happy to have her niece back.

### Elijah Mikaelson

*Main Article: Elijah and Hope*
Elijah is Hope's uncle and has sworn to protect her. He accepted her before everyone else did, even her parents. After Hope's birth, Hayley and Klaus decided to give Hope away to make the city safer for her to grow up in, and while Elijah was against it at first, he later agreed to it. When he saw Hope again (after their separation), he said to Rebekah that he can't imagine the joy spending every day with her and commented on how big she had gotten. As Rebekah went to change Hope's diaper, she saw that Elijah had killed a dozen people because he thought Hope was in danger. In *Ashes to Ashes*, Elijah gave a promise to Hayley that he will stay with Hope, protect her and help raise her, as Hayley doesn't want Klaus to be the only one Hope knows.

### Lizzie and Josie Mikaelson

*Main Article: Hope and Lizzie & Hope and Josie & Hope, Lizzie, and Josie*
Lizzie and Josie are Hope's adoptive cousins. They spent every day with each other growing up, playing games, doing spells, and pranking their parents. Lizzie and Josie were their for Hope when her parents died. They loved Hope like they were sisters. The twins were their for Hope when Derek cheated on her and helped her through the agony of the mate bond breaking. Hope accepted her destiny after she transition, the trio cast a spell to plant a tree that would symbolize Hope's new life, ensuring she didn't feel alone in the new chapter in her life.

### Theo Raeken

*Main Article: Theo and Hope*
Theo is Hope's husband and mate, but he didn't always use to be. Theo and Hope go way back to the 4th grade. Theo had a crush on Hope first then Hope had a crush on him after awhile. The two never told each other up until Senior year of high school. Though Theo wanted to steal Scott's power and steal his pack for himself Theo really cared about Hope, he was in love with her. When he saw Hope again (after years of separation), he was more in love with her then he thought possible. He did everything to get her to love him back, even poisoning her with smoothies he brought her. Eventually Hope became the fully activated tribrid (something she never wanted) and her hatred towards Theo grew more powerfully. After the death of her mate, the mate bond went onto Theo, making the two mates (something Hope hated), but eventually gave in not wanting to fight the mate bond anymore. They eventually had two kids, Blade and Artemis Mikaelson. Theo made the ultimate sacrifice and helped hold the newly released Nogitsune back and was burned to death in hellfire which made Hope break down losing her husband and feeling the pain of losing a mate once again.

### Brett Talbot

*Main Article: Brett and Hope*
Brett was Hope's mate and Hope claimed Brett as her epic love. They grew close so quickly and Hope fell pregnant with their twins, EJ and Andrea Mikaelson. Hope was slowly poisoned by Theo Raeken and she had broken up with Brett because of it. But after transitioning into the filly activated tribrid she saw him again and they got back together. She and Brett were more in love then they thought possible. Eventually, Brett would die by wolfsbane poisoning and getting hit by a car. Hope felt a pain that she never have felt before. In Brett's death Hope let out a sound wave, making a dimension where Brett would be since he died.

## Quotes

## Trivia

* Sophie described Hope as "one of Nature's loopholes".
* During Hayley's pregnancy, Hope had various nicknames.
	+ Hayley often referred to her baby as "Magical Miracle Baby" but also called her "My Little Girl" and "Baby Girl" in a letter to her.
	+ Rebekah nicknames her "The Demon Spawn" and called her "My Little Niece". And she called her Mikaelson Miraculous Baby. After Hope's birth, Rebekah calls her "Princess" in a bedtime story.
	+ Sophie and Tyler both referred to her as "The Hybrid Baby" and Celeste called her "The Wolf".
	+ Klaus called her "Littlest Wolf" as a reference to the nickname that he gave to Hayley; "Little Wolf".
	+ Hope calls herself "Little Wolf" as now her children are now the "Littlest Wolves".
* Klaus mentioned that Hope is the only thing that matters to him.
* According to Eve, many werewolves have heard about Klaus and Hayley's unborn child, Hope, and have come to New Orleans to see this miracle pregnancy for themselves.
* Elijah expresses his wish that his niece would inherit her mother's "everything".
* Due to the unique nature of her conception, Hope birth was a *Nexus Vorti*, a miracle event that the witches can draw upon for great power.
* In a brief flashback Hayley was seen writing a letter to her daughter. She tried out some names like Zoe, Caitlin, and Angela.
* Klaus names her Hope because she's the hope of his new family. As such, her name could not be more appropriate, since her arrival brought upon two reconciliations; the first being between Klaus and Marcel, and the second between Klaus and Rebekah.
* Like her mother she was born in New Orleans, but she was conceived in her father's birthplace, Mystic Falls.
* She shares some traits with her aunt, Freya:
	+ Both of their births were against nature (Esther was infertile and being a vampire Klaus normally cannot have children).
	+ They are both the first-born of their generation and they are both girls.
	+ Hope was given to her aunt Rebekah by her parents to keep her safe, and Freya was taken away by her aunt Dahlia.
	+ Both were separated from their parents under the pretense of death, while only a select few knew what really happened to them; only Esther, Finn, and Dahlia knew that Freya didn't die of the plague, and only Hayley, Klaus, Elijah, Ansel, and Rebekah knew that Hope didn't die shortly after her birth.
* Rebekah was the first to refer to Hope as a "tribrid" instead of a "hybrid".
