Freya Mikaelson

**Hope Andrea Mikaelson** is a main character in *Legacies*, and she was a former major recurring character in *The Originals* before being promoted to a main character in the fifth season. Hope 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, and Henrik Mikaelson, 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 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. Her middle name is Andrea after her mother's birth-name and she takes the surname of her father's side.

Hope was conceived in *The Vampire Diaries* season four episode *Bring It On*, and it was revealed that Hayley was pregnant four episodes later in *The Originals*. She was then born in *The Originals* season one episode *From a Cradle to a Grave*. 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.

In *From a Cradle to a Grave*, Hope was sent away to be raised by Rebekah, in order to protect her from her father's enemies: the Guerrera Wolves, Esther, and Dahlia. Her death was faked to protect her. However, in season two's *The Brothers That Care Forgot*, Esther had found Rebekah whilst she is with Hope at the park, this is signified by the presence of starlings. At the end of the second season, Hope is living with Hayley and Jackson (stepfather by marriage) in the Bayou, and by the end of the third season, she is living with Hayley on the road. By the fourth season, she lives with Hayley and the Mikaelson Family at the Abattoir.

After having the Hollow's spirit separated into four members of her family, she and Hayley leave for Mystic Falls. She becomes a student at the boarding school and as time goes by, she becomes determined to see her father again, despite the consequences that could ensue. After her parents death and defeat of the Hollow, a grieving Hope returns to the Salvatore School where she learns to fight a myriad of supernatural beings alongside her newfound friends. She ultimately activates her tribrid nature to defeat Malivore, who possessed her boyfriend. The defeat of Malivore triggered the arrival of the gods and Hope's humanity to shut-off.

Her final battle now included one for her humanity, as her remaining family gathered to help her embrace her new reality as an immortal Mikaelson. Once her humanity returns, Hope leads her friends in the final battle against Ken. Landon, now the Ferryman in Limbo, returns several fallen Salvatore group members to life, which lends to her winning the battle. Hope also gets closure with her father thanks to a gift from Landon, allowing her to finally reach a sense of inner-peace. With a number of changes at the school, Hope and the others begin a new semester, ready to guide the next class of supernatural students to be heroes.

**Hope** is a member of the **Mikaelson Family**, the **Labonair Family**, the **Kenner Family**, and an unnamed **family of werewolves**. Hope is by birthright a member of the **Crescent Wolf Pack** and the **North East Atlantic Pack**, as well as an unnamed **witch family**, and the only child fathered by the Original Hybrid.

## Throughout The Vampire Diaries Series

### Season Four

In *Bring It On*, Niklaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall slept together and conceived a child.

In *The Originals*, the witch Sophie Deveraux revealed that Hayley was, in fact, pregnant with Klaus' child. Klaus refused to believe it until he used his enhanced hearing to hear the child's heartbeat. Sophie revealed that the baby is one of Nature's "loopholes". She later revealed that it was because of Klaus' werewolf side that Hope was conceived. Sophie then demanded that Klaus help her or she would kill the baby and its mother.

Klaus initially had no interest in having anything to do with the child, even telling the witches they made a mistake if they thought they could use Hayley and their child as leverage to manipulate him. He dismissed the child's existence and acted as though he didn't care if it lived or died. After some words of consideration from Elijah Mikaelson, and an-exchange from Camille O'Connell, he later changed his mind about the child. When Elijah asked him about Hayley and their unborn child, Klaus replied to him that *"every king needs an heir."*

## Throughout The Originals Series

* Season One
* Season Two
* Season Three
* Season Four
* Season Five

In *Always and Forever*, Elijah tells Sophie that he believes this child will be a way for Klaus to finally be happy. Sophie is glad he feels that way, as she blackmails him. If he gets Klaus to co-operate with their demands, since Marcel Gerard already drove the werewolves from the French Quarter, nobody will have to know of the existence of a hybrid baby. In a later phone conversation with Rebekah Mikaelson, Elijah swears he will not let anything happen to the baby.

In *House of the Rising Son*, when Rebekah arrives in New Orleans looking for Elijah, she meets Hayley, commenting her "supernatural, miracle baby bump" isn't showing. After a short conversation with Niklaus about the whereabouts of their elder brother, Rebekah takes Hayley to the basement of their house, showing her the coffins, before warning her to get out of New Orleans while she can, because once the baby is born, Niklaus will be "planning a coffin for her." Hayley comments that the witches cast a spell; if she leaves New Orleans, she and the baby will die. Rebekah's words clearly affecting her, Hayley heads to Jardin Gris, inquiring wolfsbane in an attempt to abort the baby. She sits on a bench at night, pouring the poison into a cup of tea, urging herself to drink it. She is about to drink when she hears rustling behind her. Vampires appear in front of her, saying wolves aren't welcome. Hayley, fed up of being told what to do by vampires, tosses the cup at him and attempts to flee. Rebekah suddenly shows up, ripping the heart out of one of the vampire's, and snapping the neck of the other, saving Hayley's life. After Klaus hears of Hayley leaving the house, he berates her and demands to know what she was doing. In a rage, Hayley growls that she wanted to put the baby out of it's misery, a comment which Klaus begins to choke her over, showing he clearly cares for the baby. The day after, Klaus slowly walks into Hayley's room whilst she is supposedly sleeping. He notices the bottle of wolfsbane and sniffs the top. Hayley then tells him that she didn't use it, Klaus asks her why, as she could have been free from "all of this." Hayley says that when she was being attacked, she wasn't just protecting herself, she was protecting her child and she didn't want to let anyone hurt it.

In *Tangled Up In Blue*, Hayley is walking by the pool at night, and she suddenly looks up to see herself face to face with a wolf. Sabine Laurent suddenly appears and tells her that the wolf is drawn to her because of the baby, before telling her that she knows some charms that can reveal the baby's gender, admitting that it is not magic that she will be using. Later on, Hayley is lying on a kitchen table with Sabine dangling a pendant over her stomach. She tells her that she thinks it is a girl, this excites Hayley. Hayley suddenly becomes serious and says "don't tell me I'm having a mini-Klaus" before Sabine drops the pendant and gasps, repeating the same sentence leaving Hayley confused at her words. Sometime later, Klaus walks into the room whilst Hayley is seated on her laptop, and she reveals that she thinks their child is a girl; unseen to her, Klaus smiles at the news. As he leaves, Hayley is seen typing the sentence Sabine repeated onto her laptop.

In *Girl in New Orleans*, Agnes persuades Hayley to go to a doctor out in The Bayou who agrees after a notice of Rebekah who told her that she must care most about her child. The doctor tells Hayley that her child is healthy and Hayley reports that she knew it and that her daughter is a tough one, just like her. Then a wolf howls and Hayley understands that she falls into an ambush led by Agnes. However, she kills her doctor and manages to escape to the warlocks and fight them off until Rebekah eventually comes to save her. However, they are both then shot, and Hayley goes missing. When Hayley shows up later, she has forgotten what has happened but believes that a wolf is looking after her, and has killed the witches after her to protect her. Her wounds have also all healed and is revealed that her baby has healed her due to its vampire healing blood, inherited from her father, Klaus.

In *Sinners and Saints*, Hayley questions Sophie about the fact that her child will be the witches' end.

In *Fruit of the Poisoned Tree*, while Hayley speaks to Elijah after what happened to her and the baby during his absence and that they decide to find a way to unlike her to Sophie, Agnes enacts a plan to kill the child, by using the link between Sophie and Hayley. She uses a cursed object, The Needle of Sorrows, to cause Hayley's temperature to spike rapidly to cause a miscarriage. While Klaus goes to find Agnes, Sophie works with Elijah and Rebekah to lower Hayley's temperature and heart rate, until Davina, through Elijah's machinations, could unwittingly severe the link between Sophie and Hayley, saving the baby's life. Later Elijah kills Agnes for trying to kill his niece.

In *Bloodletting*, it is revealed that the baby's blood is capable of turning werewolves into hybrids. However, the hybrids created are sired to its mother - likely due to it and her being the same for the time being. Tyler Lockwood kidnaps Hayley and tries to kill the baby, as he believes that Klaus desires to use the baby to sire a second army of hybrids. Klaus scares him off, however, Tyler then goes to Marcel, and informs him of the baby's existence, and that its abilities will prove a threat to the vampire kingdom.

In *The River in Reverse*, Klaus mentions how he believes that his child will grow up calling Elijah father because of the way Hayley adores him and how his siblings don't believe that his intentions toward his child are pure. He later states that his child is all that matters to him now.

In *Reigning Pain in New Orleans*, Klaus tells Marcel how the witches forced him to help them take down Marcel by threatening to kill his unborn child. He goes on to mention how at the beginning he didn't care for his child, but after remembering how Mikael despised him since birth he had a change of heart because he doesn't want to end up being exactly like his father was to him. Elijah also reveals that descendants of Klaus' father are still alive (Cary is a descendant), therefore meaning relatives of the child as well.

In *Après Moi, Le Déluge*, the baby becomes part of the plan to complete the Harvest, and also to prevent Davina Claire's power from destroying all of New Orleans. Using the fact that the baby is alive, and therefore able to own property, the Original vampires bury and consecrate their mother's remains with Kieran's help and Esther becomes a New Orleans witch. As her children, The Originals act as a conduit of her magic, so then Sophie can channel the power.

In *Dance Back from the Grave*, while Rebekah is prisoner forms a spell cast by Papa Tunde, Elijah bites Hayley so he can use the power of the baby's blood to unbalance the spell as the baby is revealed to be a Quarter Witch as well.

In *Crescent City*, Céleste states Elijah has a niece on the way. Giving viewers a second confirmation on the sex of the baby.

In *Long Way Back From Hell*, Elijah justifies his choice to save Hayley because the baby that she's carrying.

In *Farewell to Storyville*, Rebekah says to Hayley that the Mikaelson Family has many enemies, and that when she is born she will inherit all of them. She also says that, though Niklaus is a dangerous person, there is hope for him, and the baby is a focal point of that. Finally, she asks that Hayley tells the baby stories of 'her crazy aunt Bex' and, despite her absence, she really does love her niece.

In *Moon Over Bourbon Street*, Klaus tells Jackson he counts on the werewolves sense of unity to protect his unborn daughter. Elijah and Hayley also express their concern for the safety of the baby. Elijah suggests to Hayley to come back and live with him and Klaus. Hayley, however, declines his offer.

In *The Big Uneasy*, Klaus tells Elijah that, while he feels Hayley and the baby will be better protected in The Bayou with the Crescent wolves, he will bring Hayley back before she goes into labor. Klaus wishes the baby to born in the compound. The child later kicks for the first time onscreen when the wolves are telling campfire stories, and Hayley happily puts Jackson's hand on her belly so he can feel. Monique Deveraux later tells Genevieve that the baby must die in exchange for Genevieve's life.

In *An Unblinking Death*, there is an explosion in the Bayou. Hayley nor the baby get hurt. However, Klaus is upset by the attack on his child and suspects that Genevieve is behind this. Genevieve says she has nothing to do with it, she's not a monster.

In *A Closer Walk With Thee*, Klaus goes to Father Kieran O'Connell's funeral. When he walks into the church the coffin is closed. He looks confused at everyone who's sitting there and opens the coffin. When he opens the coffin he sees a baby lying in it. He smiles at the baby and tries to pick her up, but someone drives a stake through his heart. When he turns around he sees that it's Mikael. He then wakes up and realizes it was a nightmare. He later tells Cami O'Connell that he dreams of Mikael because he's afraid of becoming a father, he doesn't need a psychologist to figure that out. But Elijah has also been dreaming of Mikael and they realize something else is going on. At Kieran's funeral Hayley starts coughing up blood and faints thanks to a spell Monique Deveraux had cast. Klaus, Elijah and Genevieve take her to the compound. Elijah can't hear Hayley's heartbeat, but only that of the baby. Genevieve tries to save her by using magic. Klaus gives Hayley his blood, but it doesn't work. Klaus then tells Elijah he won't lose that baby and he wants to deliver the baby now, but Elijah stops him. Genevieve agrees with Elijah, if they deliver the baby Hayley will bleed to death.

In the mean time we see that Hayley is on the other side with Mikael. She doesn't understand why she can see him, but then she realizes the only reason why she can see him is because she is dead. She screams for her baby, but Mikael tells her it's too late to save the atrocity that's festering in her womb. She tells him she can't really be dead, because otherwise he wouldn't try to kill her and the baby. He tells her the baby is doomed anyway with a father like Klaus. She responds that her daughter has one advantage Klaus never had, she will never know Mikael. She then wakes up thanks to Genevieve's spell and tells Klaus and Elijah that Mikael tried to kill her. Later Hayley is sitting in her room in the compound when Klaus walks in. He tells her that she proved to be quite resilient, fighters, both her and the baby. She tells him that she decided to move back in. Klaus is happy to hear that and tells her that he only wants that the child is kept safe. She asks him what will be come of her once she gives birth. She fears Klaus will try to take their daughter away from her. Klaus asks her to follow him, he wants to show her something. He prepared a nursery next to Hayley's room. He tells her that whether she believes it or not he would actually like it if she's there with him. He wants their daughter to be raised by her parents in her family home.

In the debut of *From a Cradle to a Grave*, we see a flashback of Hayley and Klaus which situates between *A Closer Walk With Thee* and *The Battle of New Orleans*. She writing a letter for her daughter when the baby starts kicking. Klaus asks her how the littlest wolf is doing. She asks him if he wants to feel her kick. He puts his hand on her belly and smiles when he feels his daughter kick. They smile at each other and he then leaves Hayley alone to continue with her letter. She explains to her daughter that she writes a letter to her because she never knows her own mother and she wants that her daughter knows how much she is happy to have her. How her parents can't wait and she promises to her three things: a safe home, people to say how they love her every day and people to fight for her, no matter what. Hayley concludes her letter by saying "I love you. Your Mom."

In *The Battle of New Orleans*, Genevieve subdues Hayley, this causes the placenta to abrupt and Hayley starts having contractions. Hayley is brought to St. Anne's Church by the French Quarter Coven. Genevieve and Monique Deveraux inform her that they plan on sacrificing the baby for The Ancestors. Hayley starts screaming in terror and tries to fight the witches, swearing that they will not take her baby and she will kill all of them. Klaus hears her screams and screams in agony.

In the present time of *From a Cradle to a Grave*, Hayley has been taken to St. Anne's Church by Genevieve, Monique Deveraux, Abigail and a few other witches. Hayley's placenta has ruptured so she has to give birth to the baby there. She tries to fight the witches when Klaus walks in. He kills one of the witches, but Genevieve, Monique and Abigail stop him. He watches as Hayley gives birth while he is held against the wall by the witches spell.

Once the baby is born Hayley asks if she could hold her. Genevieve hands the baby over, but Monique slits Hayley's throat only a few moments later. Monique breaks Klaus' neck and they leave with the baby. The witches have taken the baby to the cemetery, where they plan to sacrifice her. Klaus and Elijah try to find them, but they had cast a spell that creates the illusion of a maze. Elijah is heartbroken that Hayley is dead. They are unable to find the baby when Hayley walks in. The blood of her daughter brought her back to life, she is in transition. She can feel her daughter and she leads Klaus and Elijah to the witches. Genevieve is about to stab the baby, but Elijah stops her. Monique and Abigail try to stop them by calling upon their ancestors.

Hayley fights Genevieve, but Genevieve has the upper hand. Klaus kills Abigail by throwing a pike at her. Monique takes matters into her own hands. Hayley and Klaus scream in terror. Monique is about to stab the baby when Marcel comes in and kills her. He takes the baby with him. Klaus follows him immediately. Klaus heals Marcel from his Werewolf Bite and asks to hold the baby. Klaus takes her to her nursery and puts her in her cradle. In the mean time Hayley and Elijah questions Genevieve. She tells them that Esther was behind all this. And as long as the baby lives people will try to kill her. Genevieve starts bleeding out of her eyes as the ancestors are coming for her since she failed them. She asks Hayley and Elijah to tell Klaus that she is sorry. Hayley stabs her with the knife Genevieve wanted to use to kill her daughter and she tells Genevieve that's she is not sorry. Elijah and Hayley then leave the cemetery to return to Hope.

Hayley is holding her daughter in the nursery while Elijah and Klaus discuss what to do next. Klaus thinks that his daughter will never be safe, no matter where she is. He doesn't want her to grow up in a prison. Hayley tells them there's another option. Hayley's parents thought they could protect her, but in the end they were killed and Hayley spent her childhood alone and unloved. She made a promise to herself and her baby that she would grow up differently. She thinks the only option is to send their daughter away, while they stay behind and clean up the mess that they've made. Elijah doesn't agree, she'll be haunted no matter what. Klaus tells him that won't be a problem if nobody knows that she lives. Hayley says goodbye to her little girl and drinks a bit of her blood to complete her transition. Elijah tells Klaus that nobody will be able to protect her like them. Klaus tells him there's one person who can. We see Klaus holding his daughter waiting on an abandoned road. Another car drives in and Rebekah steps out of it.

Rebekah tells him that she looks like her mother, and that maybe there's a god after all. Klaus smiles at her. He responds that there's a glimpse of the devil in her eyes and that is all him. He tells her that despite their differences there is no one that he would trust more with the life of his daughter. He tells his daughter that the people in the city would have seen her dead, but he would see her live and he'll make the city her home. He says that he would struck down anyone who would dare to wish her harm. And he tells her that she'll return to him. He then gives her a kiss on her forehead and on her cheek. He hands her over to Rebekah. Rebekah asks him what her name is. He tells her that her name is Hope. He cries as he watches Rebekah leave with Hope.

In *Rebirth*, Hope is living with Rebekah. She tells Hope a fairy tale based on her father and New Orleans. In this fairy tale, Klaus is the King and due to many enemies he is forced to send his princess, Hope away. However, Rebekah tells that one day the King and his noble brother will heal their kingdom and bring Hope back who must live happily ever after. Afterward Rebekah puts Hope to bed and paced Klaus' wood knight in her cradle. Hope is also mentioned by her parents and uncle in New Orleans. When Elijah tries to clean up Hope's nursery Hayley gets pissed off about him and orders him to stop. However later she destroys the nursery after killing Francesca because she needs her daughter back and nothing can soften her pain. Later Klaus confesses to Elijah that all is his fault and that he should have accepted Hayley's pregnancy - and now his daughter is away from him. He then goes try to comfort Hayley who tells that without her daughter she can be in peace and Klaus swears that she will have Hope in her arms again.

In *Alive and Kicking*, Hope's parents spoke about her during their trip in The Bayou. Hayley explains that she can't be the Queen of the werewolves because she is destroyed - she cries all day, each day and can't stop thinking about how much she misses Hope. Klaus says that he knows how she feels and Hayley accuses him of not think about Hope. Klaus answers that he thinks about her every time and can only be eased by killing those who would hurt her. This leads Hayley to find her wolf people. Earlier Hayley also feeds from witches because they tried to kill Hope. It's also shown that Hope's newly resurrected grandmother doesn't know that her granddaughter lives.

In *Every Mother's Son*, Hayley says that she will be glad to kill Esther as she wanted to kill Hope. However, when Klaus tells her his mother's story, Hayley comes to understand a little about Esther, because she is out of her mind about having to give Hope to Rebekah and can't imagine if her child was dead. This was why Esther lived when Hayley meets her. And later Esther proposes to switch bodies and Hayley thinks about it because she wants to give a normal life to Hope.

In *Wheel Inside the Wheel*, after a day of discussion with her son (and the resurrection of Ansel), Esther does not understand why Klaus continues to refuse her offer of switching bodies. Annoyed by his mother's questions about why he still scorns her Klaus ends up spinning her against walls in Elijah's cell and tells her that he only feels a pure and intense hatred about her as she came after his child, his daughter, his and also her blood. Esther tries to reason with Klaus, but he gets only more angry and repeats "my child". She then tries to use magic but Klaus seems only be affected by it during a few seconds, still focusing about Hope. He then tells to her mother that to be coming after Hope he will make her pay as only himself can do - as his mother's son. It's also revealed that to have children, Esther deals with her older sister Dahlia (as at this time she has stopped using magic). But in part of the deal, Esther will have to give to her sister every first born of each generation of her bloodline, which includes Hope as the first and only grandchild of Esther. And this is the reason of why Esther wanted to kill Hope - but it's still unclear if she also tried to do it to "save" her granddaughter from Dahlia.

In *Chasing the Devil's Tail*, Ansel explained to Klaus that he knew that his child is alive - as he can feel the call of his blood as the wolf. He also said that he wanted help Klaus to protect her, but fearing that Esther will use Ansel to get to his "little girl" he explained to his father that he cannot fail his daughter and must protect her to all the cost. And Klaus finally killed his own father as he didn't want that his selfish wish of a father made his daughter in danger. Later, he awakened Elijah by speaking about Hope - as in the children's history they are monsters, but not his Hope's. In Hope's story their are knights and that without Elijah, Klaus can't survive to his own love for his child. Elijah finally emerged and comforted Klaus about Ansel - telling that for Hope all the sacrifice can and must be made.

In *The Brothers That Care Forgot*, Rebekah takes Hope to the park. Rebekah is pushing her on the swing when she notices her mother's starlings staring at her. Rebekah believes her mother has found them so she rings Elijah. Elijah meets with Rebekah in the diner and he holds Hope. Rebekah notices a worrying change in Elijah and when she goes to give Hope a diaper change she sees he has killed people in the diner. So she puts Hope in her carrier and she snaps Elijah's neck to keep Hope safe.

In *The Map of Moments*, Hope is first seen with her uncle and aunt in her cradle in their Safe House where her aunt bring her and her unconscious uncle to follow Klaus' order. As her aunt began to prepare the home for the Holidays they are all outside of the home waiting for Hope's parents. As Elijah is hesitant to carry her in his arms, Rebekah encourages him saying that all he did was for Hope. They then discuss of their family dynamic but are stopped when Klaus' car arrives. Hayley is seen jumping out of the car and she runs to her daughter before stops. Elijah gives Hope to her and after holding her daughter against her, she passes her to Klaus and they stay all the three. Later Rebekah and Hayley decide to hold the Bonfire ceremony for Hope, and as she is with her father she is taken by her mother to assist to her first Bonfire. After the ceremony the all family takes a photo that they are forced to burn in order to protect Hope and Rebekah decides to take down their mother so their family could be together. As her uncle, aunt and father discuss of their plan she is fed by her mother and stays with her and Elijah when Klaus and Rebekah go back to meet with Esther.

In *Gonna Set Your Flag On Fire*, Hope is taken by her mother from her cradle and then rejoined her uncle in the kitchen. She is then introduced to Cami by her parents later as they had to go back in the Quarter. Hope is then left to the care of her uncle Elijah.

In *Brotherhood of the Damned*, after Elijah collapsed, Cami has to take care of Hope. In the Bayou, when her mother discovers that to prepare her wedding to Jackson she has to share her secret with him she refuses to do it and leaves. However, Jackson follows her and brings her back. When Klaus learns about this he decides to prevent Hayley from telling Jackson the truth about Hope.

In *Sanctuary*, Klaus and Hayley argue over whether or not to tell Jackson that Hope is still alive. After some convincing Klaus allows Hayley to tell him the truth. Finn also figures out Hope is alive and he is currently looking for her.

In *The Devil is Damned*, Cami is playing with Hope. Hope accidentally cuts her head so a band-aid is put on her head. Cami decides to take Hope out of the house. While out with Hope, Cami removes her band-aid from her head and discovers her cut is healed. On the way back to the house, Hope stops the car engine and seconds later the house goes up in flames. Hope then turns the car's engine on again. Cami looks at her shocked.

In *I Love You, Goodbye*, Hope returns home with Cami and Elijah. She meets Jackson and she is introduced to the werewolves and vampires during the wedding party. Klaus explains that she had to go away for a while, and now she has returned to be protected by the newly formed Crescent Wolf Pack.

Later, Freya reveals to Finn that Dahlia decided to take her from Esther when she started to develop her great power at five years old and that when Hope starts to use magic, it will act as a beacon, calling her to the baby, unbeknownst to Hope's aunt, Hope has started to use magic much earlier than expected, which implies that Dahlia has already felt Hope's power and whatever they try, she is coming.

In *They All Asked For You*, Hope is seen with Hayley. Hayley can't seem to settle her so Jackson offers a helping hand. He manages to soothe Hope and she falls asleep.

In *Save My Soul*, Hope is seen sleeping in her crib. As she is sleeping, Dahlia's humming is heard.

In *Exquisite Corpse*, Hope is crying in her crib and Eva Sinclair goes near her. Hayley arrives and lunges at Eva to get away from her. After Eva leaves the compound, both Klaus and Hayley look down in her crib and she is laying down calmly and completely at ease. After Elijah, Gia, and Hayley talk to Josephine, Hope is in Hayley's arms and she threatens to kill Eva even if it is Rebekah or not, so Eva won't go after Hope. Klaus also reveals to Esther that Hope is alive not dead as she had thought.

In *Night Has A Thousand Eyes*, Jackson, Hayley, and Hope are walking down the street and Dahlia temporarily possesses the flower salesman and Jackson, proclaiming that she is there and she intends to take what is hers. Afterward, Hayley and Jackson plan to leave town with Hope to make sure Dahlia doesn't come after her. Marcel spots them and they later go back to where they were.

In *When the Levee Breaks*, Dahlia is still searching for Hope. She then comes to the safe place Hope is living and talks to Hayley trying to convince her to deliver Hope to her and Hayley refuses this idea.

In *City Beneath The Sea*, Hope is at the bayou with her mom and the wolves. Elijah then comes and collects some of her blood to protect her. Hayley then delivers a message to the Mikaelsons saying she doesn't want Hope to be one of them.

In *Fire with Fire*, Klaus comes for her. After cursing the wolves and Hayley he finds Hope and tells her everything is going to be okay.

In *Ashes to Ashes*, Klaus daggers himself and Dahlia to give his siblings more time to save Hope. Freya wakes up and calls Rebekah who tells Elijah she is with Hope in the woods. Later on, Dahlia manages to get some of Hope's blood which makes Hope upset. Klaus then leaves Hope somewhere safe with Cami while he kills Dahlia and Esther. After this Klaus tells Hope a bedtime story resuming all that happened during season 2 and explains to her how there is always another chapter to be told.

In *For the Next Millennium*, Hope is still being raised by her father. Elijah takes her to see Hayley once a month.

In *You Hung the Moon*, Hayley returns to the compound to reclaim custody of her daughter. Klaus and Hayley come to blows over what is best for Hope and a violent fight breaks out. However, her parents are stopped in their tracks when they spot Hope walking. Hayley is surprised and heartbroken that she had missed Hope's first steps.

In *No Quarter*, Klaus sees Hope for the first time in five years. As she sleeps, he opts not to wake her up.

In *Haunter of Ruins*, Hope finally meets the rest of her family, but due to her awe of them, she's shy around them. Klaus gets the chance to bond with his daughter and learns she inherited her love of art from him. Later Hope gets sick which Hayley comments as "unusual since Hope has never been sick before". Vincent sends Hayley a note, via a spell, telling her that he knows how to cure her though she needs to come back to New Orleans.

In *Keepers of the House*, Klaus stays with Hope taking care of her while Hayley goes to New Orleans to find the source of Hope's sickness. In her state of being sick, Hope senses the other kids the Hollow has successfully kidnapped via the link that bound them, alerting everyone Hope is connected to the ritual.

Angered, she breaks the salt circle, sending Davina back to the Ancestral Plane and frees Klaus. She goes to Klaus and they hug each other.

In *A Spirit Here That Won't Be Broken*, Hope is taught the Spell of Unknotting by Kol so that Davina could be unlinked from the Hollow. After much concentration, she manages the spell, though she is overwhelmed and falls unconscious. When she wakes, the Hollow comes to her and is possessed.

In *Where You Left Your Heart*, she gives a boy, Henry Benoit, two vials of blood and tells him to be discreet about dying so he can turn into a hybrid. After he jumps out of the window, Hope is told by Dorian that Alaric wants to see her and to pack her things up as she's being suspended. As she's sitting outside Alaric's office, she sees Roman and gets a little nervous. After composing herself and acting cool, she tells him that she got suspended, which he tells her that's cool. Henry then shows up and she tells him that falling out a window isn't discreet. She is then picked up by Hayley and is told that her actions can come with consequences. They then talk in a room and Hayley finds out she has been selling her blood to get a passport to find her father, who as she calls him a "deadbeat dad". She talks to her uncle Kol and he gives her an idea, which she contemplates. When the vampires arrive to get retribution for Poppy's death by killing Henry, she tells him to calm down and she explains to him that he's sired to her. When Freya returns from trying to find Hayley, she shows Hope her mother's phone and that she has disappeared. Not long after, a call from Klaus comes and Freya hands the phone to her. Hope says hi to him and he tells her he's coming to New Orleans.

 File:TO502-005-Young Hope.png
In *One Wrong Turn On Bourbon*, she listens to music as a flashback shows her using magic to contact her father, but is told to go away. She notices the flowers on her nightstand shrivel and die, and knows that her father is at the compound. She runs so that she can see him, but he senses her and leaves, leaving her disappointed. After waking up to get ready for the day, she hears something at her window and it's Roman. She invites him in and they began talking about Henry and her leaving. She later goes to Rousseau's and sees that Declan is being attacked by her father, and stops him using magic. They also argue at the compound while she uses magic to keep him from leaving and she tells him to just go since he can't be around her. It also revealed around this time that she is the one responsible for her mother's disappearance and wants to fix her mistakes. She also talks to Henry as he's been locked up in the Garden and tells him to be calm. At the compound, she and her father talk as it's revealed that her mother has truly gone missing when she is not at the place she put her in with a cloaking spell. After this, she vomits up a snake as she and her father have been around too long. She then gets ready to leave for Mystic Falls with Roman, but they hear a scream and run to where they hear it. They see that Henry has his heart extracted and his body hanging from a balcony.

In *Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea*, she is in her room listening to music and sees that Freya has come to visit. When Freya notices the ancient spells on the floor, Hope tells her it's to catch up. They talk and walk around the grounds, and Hope notices Roman playing a soccer game with others. When Roman waves at her, she doesn't and Freya asks why. She tells her it won't harm his ego and then explains about the spells on the floor to her. She says she wants to find a way to break the cloaking spell and find her mother. They head to an abandoned house and they try to do a spell, but Hope's palm heals quickly. She then notices that Freya already knew about it and her reluctance. She is then told by Freya that the witches think she'll destroy New Orleans. She gets angry at Freya and when telling her to leave, she uses pyrokinesis and then puts it out. She then sees that Freya was right about the first-borns of their family having devastating power. She then looks out the window at night and Roman appears. She tells him about her mother and what she found about from Freya about what the witches in New Orleans think. They are then interrupted by Freya and he walks off, leaving them to talk more.

In *Don't It Just Break Your Heart*, she is seen practicing climbing in the abandoned house and talks to Freya about triggering her werewolf side. Afterward, she goes to her room and finds Roman inside. She tells him about triggering the werewolf side and he tells her about desiccating in a cave for an unknown amount of time. Sometime later, she and Roman talk again and she kisses him since she may not make it from binding her werewolf gene. She and Freya begin the spell and before it is completed, Klaus arrives and takes the bowl of blood away, leaving Hope conflicted. She and Roman talk more again and they decide to head to New Orleans.

In *What, Will, I, Have, Left*, she and Roman are on the road acting goofy and talking. She feels that she's being tracked by a witch and gets out of the car for a few minutes. She decides to put both of their phones on the ground and they continue to their destination. They arrive at the abandoned Shiloh Place and notices he's acting somewhat agitated. She watches as he knocks over a glass, causing the barrier spell to deactivate. She walks in and no sooner, she sees her mother strapped to a chair. She runs to her and wonders why she's at the house, turning around to have Roman place the witch shackles on her, canceling her powers. She asks him what's going on and Hayley tells her that he's the one who led the others to her in the church attic. She then realizes that Roman got into her head to find out her mother's location and is shocked to find out Greta is his mom. She tells her mother about Henry and listens as she is told what Greta wants to do with her and her mother, given their hybrid status, clearly upset. While Roman is outside on the phone with his sister, she talks to Hayley, telling her she was going to go through with the binding spell until Klaus stopped her. She listens when her mother tells her about turning into a wolf and they think of a plan. She watches as Hayley goes through with the binding spell and while Hayley kills the witch, Hope breaks Roman's neck. They began to go out the door before Hope realizes that Hayley can't as she's just a vampire and doesn't have a daylight ring. She listens as her mother tells her that purists are afraid that she'll unite the factions one day, telling her go and they embrace. As Hope turns around to go, Greta appears in front of her and blows some dust on her, knocking Hope unconscious.

In *God's Gonna Trouble the Water*, she wakes up in her dorm room while Freya is watching over her and wonders where her mother is, and cries when she finds out she's dead. She prepares for her mother's funeral, clearly upset about everything happening. As she waits for the walk down in the street, she wonders where everyone is and Freya tells her about her father's astral projection, while Vincent and Marcel should be there. She waves at Josh and is upset that Freya hasn't told Declan since he's in Ireland. She looks around and wonders where all her mother's friends are, getting upset about many things. When Freya tries to get her out of harm's way when Emmett and his vampires show up, she pushes her back and sets one of the truck's on fire, killing the vampires inside. She begins an incantation for the other van until Josh moves her before Emmett can kill her.

At the compound, she is very upset and is angry at her father for not being there. When he tries to talk to her, she tells him to go and pushes his astral projection out. Later in the evening, Hope goes to the Bayou for her mother's funeral and tells Freya they have to save their family. She asks Freya to put her mother's necklace on and is happy to see that Vincent, Josh, Marcel, and Keelin have shown up. She listens as Freya gives her eulogy and as her mother's body is lit on fire, she tells her goodbye. She is then surprised to see her father beside her and a storm begins to ensue. She tells him she's going to fix it and while crying, she tells him she loves him too, watching him leave.

In *The Kindness of Strangers*, while not appearing in the present, she is seen in flashbacks and photos. While her father and family are in the Chambre de Chasse, she performs a spell to extract the Hollow from them and into herself.

In *We Have Not Long To Love*, she is at the dinner table with her father and Freya and gets angered when Elijah walks in. When he tries to talk to her, she starts magically bending a fork and quickly walks out. She begins to paint and tells her father that she's fine and starts hearing the voices in her head again. She gets upset when the voices won't stop and Klaus decides to put her old bracelet on, trying to seal away the dark magic inside her temporarily. Unfortunately, the bracelet begins to burn her skin and she takes it off, which causes the bracelet to catch on fire. She decides to go to Rousseau's to talk to Declan and sees that Elijah is there. She angrily wonders what he's doing and he tells her to knock Declan unconscious as he knows things are going to get worse. She tells Elijah she hates him and he says he hates himself too, her eyes temporarily glow the blue color the Hollow had, and magically claws him repeatedly on his body. Klaus arrives and at the compound, she tells him that the voices stopped when she began to commit the violence against Elijah. He tells her that if the violence helps, then he's the right person to come to.

In *There in the Disappearing Light*, she is trying to feel better by taking out her anger against Klaus, but she says it isn't working and he isn't the one she wants to take her anger out on. While underneath the Abattoir, Hope gets ready to torture Roman since he was one of the people responsible for her mother's death. Roman tries to tell her he's been wanting to talk to her and that while he's sorry for what happened, she doesn't have to forgive him, and she listens to this. She then gets angry when Roman tries to compare his mother to hers, and she wonders what's happening to her as marks begin to creep up on her arm. She goes to Klaus about what's happening and while he tries to tell her to kill Roman, she doesn't want to and she frees him. After Elijah and Antoinette gather Emmett and his vampires, Hope comes in and releases all the dark magic, killing them all. Unfortunately, the blast also injures Declan and she is fearful she might've killed him, which would trigger her curse. As she and Roman talk, she tells him to leave and she begins to feel pain, and her eyes glow, triggering her curse due to Bill's death.

In *Til the Day I Die*, she is at the cemetery laying a flower on Bill's memorial, Klaus comes to see her and he tries to comfort her but it doesn't work, she always feels bad. She says that what she did didn't help because the dark line is back and evokes the transformation she must do without her mother, Klaus offers his help but she answers that for now she needs to be alone, so he leaves her. Davina later comes to the cemetery to talk to her, she tells her that she is not well and that she doesn't want to attend Freya's wedding because her guilt will ruin the day but Davina retorts that it's her absence which will ruin the day and that even if it's hard she must live the moment. At the wedding, she was a speech on the fact that this day was the best because they were all together and she had the impression to be part of the "Always and Forever". In the evening when Klaus comes to see her in her bedroom to find out how she is doing, she answers that she is amused today, forgetting for a moment all the troubles of her life but will never forget that she killed someone, she also says that she is afraid of transformation and is glad that Klaus will be present.

In *The Tale of Two Wolves*, Hope has to await her first transformation and is told she may not survive the process due to The Hollow slowly killing her from within. After a day out with Elijah and a dance with Landon, Hope joins Klaus, Alaric, and his daughters as part of a ritual to extract the Hollow from her, which can only be done while she is in middle of transforming. While Lizzie and Josie are chanting, the transformation begins and Hope is brought to her knees from her bones breaking and pain resulting from it. Klaus tells her that the first transformation usually takes hours but by embracing the transformation and pain instead of fighting it, the process will be faster. True to his word, Hope transform completely into her wolf form in a matter of moments and has the Hollow extracted from her successfully. Hope in wolf form stares at her father, who looks on her with a smile before witnessing her run into the forest.

In *When The Saints Go Marching In*, she stops her father from killing himself and they go back to New Orleans. She's worried about her father and his condition and tries to go after him when he gets loose from his cell. She finds him in the city and while he is tempted by the Hollow, he goes with her back to the compound. They have dinner with their family and try to enjoy themselves with their remaining time left. She and her father then talk alone and they say their goodbyes, both very upset about what is going to happen. She then joins her family when Klaus leaves and later, she is shown to be painting a picture of her family.
## Personality

* With Humanity
* Without Humanity

Hope was born a fighter, having inherited Hayley's toughness and Klaus' tenacity, something both her parents pointed out when Hope was a baby. She was a very calm and happy baby, with Freya mentioning how Hope inherited her paternal family's resilience. She is also seemingly very intelligent, as she was able to use her magic to turn Camille's car on and off, saving her from immediate danger, all despite being a baby. As a young child, Hope was a kind and gentle girl. She had a sweet and innocent persona. She enjoyed helping innocent creatures and once used her magic to heal a butterfly's broken wing. She once expressed to her father that she was lonely, never having any other kids her own age to play with.

As a teenager, Hope was stubborn and brave as she was willing to put herself through extreme pain and possible death to get her mother back. Both Klaus and Caroline described Hope as smart, possibly too smart for her own good, like her father. Hope did whatever she could to protect her family and always offered to help save those she cared about or considered family, including Marcel. However, when Hope magically absorbed the Hollow's soul, the constant whispering nearly drove her insane. The only way she could end the madness was by committing acts of violence. With her father's assistance, she took her anger and frustration out on those she deemed guilty. Her desire to quell the voices by using violence and magic caused her to accidentally kill an innocent human, which triggered her werewolf curse. She struggled to come to terms with his death and referred to it as something that has stayed with her.

Hope struggles to forge meaningful connections with other people and make friends with the other students at the Salvatore School, not only because of her one-of-a-kind supernatural classification, but also because she's already endured a lifetime of grief and heartbreak. To her peers, she seems closed off. She is forgiving to MG when she thought he killed her boyfriend Landon. Due to her often disastrous past, she has resigned herself to isolation, considering it the path that will provide the least heartbreak in her life. She sees loneliness as less of a burden to bear than her formative experiences of loving so deeply and losing so terribly. However, she has begun to open up more to people, tediously forming friendships and entering a romantic relationship. She is slowly becoming more optimistic that she will be happy.

Hope often puts her safety and life in danger to save others, making her a true hero. She is incredibly loyal to her friends, despite initial 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 made the impossible choice to become a tribrid as a way of saving thousands of people that she would never meet. She feared that becoming the tribrid would not only keep her locked in her trauma forever but that she wouldn't be capable of bearing the loss or guilt over killing Landon. The way she lived her life earned her the option of finding peace when she died. However, she chose to return to save everyone. Her choice became difficult when Malivore allowed Landon to resurface and communicate with Hope. With Landon's consent, she killed him to end Malivore's reign of terror. The act caused her to instantly flip her humanity switch.

The Mikaelsons reunite to lay Klaus to rest and appeal to Hope's humanity. She admits to feeling abandoned by them, citing their lack of involvement in her life. She expresses a desire to be close to her father by having his ashes near her. 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' daughter. After wise words from Landon on her fate being the one who lives, and learning a valuable lesson in Limbo, Hope returns with a new perspective. She realizes a need to be a team player and accept that she can't always be the martyr or hero. She also repairs her friendships and embraces her newfound status.

After defeating Ken and finding closure with Landon, 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.

After being forced to kill the self-proclaimed love of her life, Hope's humanity switch flipped by itself to spare her the overwhelming emotions that would have followed. Hope admits that 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, grieve, and repeat, but that's all gone now. She also has lost her desire to be around those who previously cared for her. She brutally attacks Alaric to send a message to her friends not to come after her. She states that she is her father's daughter, accepting that fact for the first time.

Her careless and reckless attitude continues, as she seeks to have fun and experiment with her new vampiric nature. Her newfound freedom allows her to dance with a bar patron, drink alcohol, and enjoy feeding in public. She tortures a Triad Industries henchman using throwing darts, a callous display of apathy. Hope's dedication to her family is also gone, as she doesn't want Rebekah's help or any of the other Mikaelson's 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 Rebekah 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. She blatantly puts the life of the now-human Ryan Clarke in danger for her amusement. Ryan believes she blew up his relationship, job, and life so he wouldn't have anywhere else to turn but her, as she doesn't want to be alone. He rejects her proposition and reminds her not to give up on her chosen family.

The only emotions Hope expresses are boredom and rage. She retains her sarcastic attitude but doesn't care about the consequences of her words or the impact they might have. This trait is exhibited most in her brutal displays of honesty. She quickly tires of MG's attempts to turn her humanity on but endures the school's efforts because of their pact. She grows bored when Cleo reads Landon's final letter, even lashing out at her and Finch. Hope fights Ethan, who she called her friend once, when he and Finch attempt to attack her. Hope expresses a desire to kill them for their indiscretion. Hope remains incapable of harming those she truly cared for when her humanity was on. A multitude of her choices demonstrates a sense of loyalty and some depth of care for her former friends.

The longer Hope's humanity is off, the more ruthless she becomes. She defeats a werewolf alpha with decapitation to inherit control over his pack, who are loyal to Triad Industries. She uses her alpha status to force them to give up the Triad vampire, despite a hex killing them when they do. When Hope's arrogance gets the better of her, Aurora switches their bodies. Hope is forced to work with Lizzie, who gives an emotional speech while trying to kill her. Hope pretends her humanity returns to trick Lizzie into helping her defeat Aurora. She successfully manipulates Lizzie into giving up information about the Red Oak stake and then crosses the proverbial line by snapping her neck to prove a point. After siring Lizzie, Hope realizes that she's made rash choices because she doesn't care about what happens to herself or anything and needs Lizzie to be her humanity compass. She uses the sire bond to force Lizzie to be her partner in crime.

When Lizzie betrays her, Hope grapples with her humanity as emotions such as betrayal and gratitude constantly threaten to surface. When forced to revisit her worst memory, transitioning into a tribrid and killing Landon, her humanity materializes as the Hope from that night. She refers to the humanity switch as a coping mechanism. As her humanity flickers, Hope's family rallies together to spark her humanity, using Klaus' overdue funeral as the event. Hope tries to push them away, insulting and threatening them whenever possible. She insults Freya for helping her complete her transition. She callously dismisses the chance to scatter her father's ashes, pointing out the trash can as a good resting place. They remind her of their love and how much they sacrificed for her, especially her father. Hope admits that she wants to keep her father's ashes close. The acceptance allows her humanity to appear, outsmart her, and ultimately stake her in a symbolic display of decimation.
## Physical Appearance

"***Rebekah**: She looks like her mother. Maybe there's a God after all.* ***Klaus**: She has a hint of the Devil in her eyes — that's all me.*"
—Klaus and Rebekah about Hope in *From a Cradle to a Grave*
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 5'2" 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.

After turning off her humanity and leaving the Salvatore School, 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 to Rebekah. Hope also wears heavier makeup around her eyes and switches to a light red lipstick. She has more confidence and cockiness in her stance.

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. She gained black veins that cascade from her lower eyelids to just above her cheekbones.

## Powers and Abilities

As the world's first hybrid of three supernatural species - a witch, a werewolf, and a vampire; the full extent or limits of Hope's powers are currently unknown.

However, as of *There's Always a Loophole*, Hope learns that she is not a cosmic mistake as she once thought. She is Nature's loophole that could be used against Malivore. Due to this, she can remember those that she previously knew and have been consumed by Malivore as well as heal others with her blood that have been shot with weaponized Malivore bullets.

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 magic 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 fully transitioned tribrid, Hope did not lose her magic and can continue to practice witchcraft. However, while in transition, Hope briefly lost access to her magic, werewolf, and vampiric abilities and became more vulnerable than ever.

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. In *The Tale of Two Wolves*, with Hope's first transformation 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, in *This is the Part Where You Run*, Hope stated to Landon 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 in *The Tale of Two Wolves*, 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. As a fully transitioned tribrid, Hope can transform from human to wolf form while magically maintaining her clothing. Her true form did not alter much, as she maintained her golden eyes, but with a hint of vivid red at the inner corner on her irises.

Before becoming an activated tribrid, 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 and stabbed her foot with a trash picker. Her blood can be used to sire new vampires and hybrids, the latter being an ability only possessed by the Original hybrid, her father, as well as to heal vampires from a werewolf bite. After activating her vampire side, Hope showed great proficiency in utilizing her vampire powers. At the Carnival of Vampires, Hope showed her ability to compel fellow vampires. Previously, this has only been possible by an Original vampire.

## Weaknesses

* **Disbelief:** The act of denying or disbelieving in one's potential could cause Hope to inadvertently suppress her magical power.
* **Distraction:** Denying Hope from concentrating or giving full attention to her spells, may render them ineffective.
* **Emotions:** Hope's magic is subject to the influence of her emotional state and may fluctuate according to it when untrained. According to Sheila Bennett, strong emotions such as worry and anger can fuel a witch's power while emotions such as fear may prevent a witch from properly accessing their powers.
* **Herbs:** Ingestion of certain herbs can cause a witch to lose consciousness and prevent them from using magic for an undetermined amount of time. The Lobelia flower prevents concentration and the practice of magic and can be used to weaken a witch as one would weaken a vampire with vervain. Being part werewolf and vampire, she may also acquire the adverse effects of wolfsbane and vervain as well.
* **Huntress' Blood:** Consumption of a supernatural huntress' blood will cause a witch to lose their ability to use magic. Prolong exposure poisons them, leading them to get sick. When scabs appear on their body, it eventually leads to death. According to Alex and Rayna Cruz, Rayna's blood can't be reversed for anything and all the attempts to make a cure were unsuccessful. It is unknown what effect Rayna's blood would have on Hope.
* **Magic:** Hope is still susceptible to the powers of witchcraft. This is inclusive of mystical and dark objects. A siphoner can siphon the magic from a witch where prolonged exposure may lead to death, albeit perhaps prior to transitioning into a fully activated tribrid.
* **Overexertion:** The excessive use of magic could lead to disorientation, nose bleeds, unconsciousness, and if taken to the extreme, death. As a fully activated tribrid, death seems temporary.
* **Broken Neck:** Breaking Hope's neck will result in her temporary death, though she will revive a short time later.
* **Invitation:** Due to her vampire heritage, Hope, as a fully activated tribrid, is unable to enter a home without an invitation.
* **Desiccation:** Being completely drained of blood or the heart-stopping will cause a Tribrid to desiccate due to their vampire side, losing most of their strength and any ability to move. This process can be replicated artificially by magic.
* **Unique Physiology:** Being born with aspects of all three species, Hope's nature is somewhat at odds with each other. Dahlia deduces that without proper guidance, Hope's potential as a firstborn of her family's bloodline will prove destructive and unstable when mingled with vampire blood and werewolf aggression.
* **Wood:** A wooden stake through the heart will desiccate Hope and temporarily "kill" her. However, wood from a Red Oak tree can permanently destroy Hope as Nature created a balance near the site of the tribrid's birth through the sapling that she, Lizzie and Josie created. In the Therapy Box simulation, Cleo tested her theory and Hope was stabbed and immediately turned to ash. The validity of this, however, has not been tested outside of the simulation. The tree, however, was chopped down and rendered to ash.
* **White Oak Ash Daggers:** A collection of enchanted silver daggers dipped in the ash of the white oak tree will neutralize Hope when stabbed through the heart, causing her to desiccate. However, the effects are only temporary and they will wear off in a short amount of time. It's unknown if Hope directly overcame the desiccation, and pulled the dagger out, or if the desiccation slowly receded, revived and then removed the dagger. Due to her werewolf-nature, magic bonded to silver likely doesn't affect her or, in this case, only temporarily weakens her.
* **God Spear:** Smithed by Jen, it is a divine weapon forged with god magic and Red Oak ash. It is a lethal combo for Hope, provided it's stabbed into her heart. Since it's forged with god magic, it also renders her witchcraft useless. Injuries from this weapon causes the poisonousness effects of the Red oak to make its way through her bloodstream, though given Jen's claim, it is unlikely to kill her outright. This poisonousness effect can be reversed by siphoning.

## Relationships

### Hayley Marshall-Kenner

"*I woke up in the church and all I felt was this hunger, and then I knew what I needed - I needed her. I can feel her. She's here. I can feel my baby.*"
—Hayley about Hope in *From a Cradle to a Grave*
*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 that her daughter would grow up safe and loved, unlike Hayley had. 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 lived with Hayley for five years wile they searched for a way to cure their family from Marcel's venom. When Hope became a victim of The Hollow, Hayley did everything possible to save her daughter, including dividing The Hollow into the Mikaelson siblings to protect Hope. This separated the Mikaelson family for years, as any physical contact with one another could have infinite consequences. Hayley raised Hope as a strong and independent young woman, enrolling her in the Salvatore Boarding School so she could have friends her own age, something Hope longed for. A teenage Hope desperately wanted to see father again. She faked Hayley's kidnapping to lure Klaus back into New Orleans. Her actions set off a chain of events, including Hayley's body being stolen by vampire purists. Hayley ultimately sacrificed herself to save a kidnapped Hope from the their captor. Hope suffered crippling grief after Hayley's death, and blamed herself. She was temporarily reunited with her mother in Peace, and Hayley soothed her guilt - she's at peace because of Hope. Knowing they wouldn't see one another for a long time, Hayley made Hope promise to to make art, use her voice, have adventures, and at least one totally epic love. She reminded her to be every bit of herself, since the best of Hayley is in Hope.

### Niklaus Mikaelson

Klaus is Hope's father, and even though he refused the child in *Always and Forever*, he soon accepted her and was determined to not behave as his step-father had, and to raise his child differently. He told Hayley the cycle of pain will end with their baby. After that, he did everything he could to make sure she was kept safe and was happy when he learned the baby would be a girl. Klaus and Hope had a difficult journey to being together, as forces stronger and out of both their control constantly tried to separate them. His loyalty and love for Hope is unwavering despite the extreme situations, as he's willing to protect her even at the cost of his own happiness or life. His love for Hope brings out the very best in him, even reconciling with Rebekah and Marcel to better protect Hope. They have been separated longer than they've been together, however, their love and adoration for each other never wavers. Hope's childhood love for Klaus was crafted by her mother, who told her stories about Klaus, his loyalty to his family, his love for her, and their shared interests in art. In the precious moments they do share, Hope adores her father and he hopes to show her the world and give her everything she could ever want. They grow closer in her teen years when he re-enters her life, and they become bonded even more.

### Rebekah Mikaelson

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 Mystic Falls. Rebekah tracked her down in an attempt to convince her to come home with her, where the family would help her adjust to her new nature. 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. She gave Rebekah the Mikaelson necklace as it was probably spelled by Freya and the reason Rebekah found her. Rebekah was devastated by her niece cutting her out of her life.

### Elijah Mikaelson

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), in *The Brothers That Care Forgot*, 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.

### Landon Kirby

*Main article: Hope and Landon*
Hope first met Landon in 2026, and frequented where he used to work in Mystic Falls; Mystic Diaries. They grew to be friends and it was clear they shared a connection more than that of friends. However, Landon moved away from Mystic Falls they lost contact for two years. They reconnected when Landon's foster brother turned into a werewolf and Landon decided to be there with him, against Hope's advice, leading to Landon learning about the supernatural. To keep him from danger, Alaric decided to have him compelled and sent away; however, Landon betrayed Hope and the school by stealing a supernatural knife after the compulsion failed. Hope planned on confronting him about his betrayal, even armed with a death spell, but Alaric later rebuked her for this. Landon genuinely explained that the supernatural knife caused him to lie to Hope, but she didn't believe him. Despite what Landon had done, he was provided shelter at the Boarding School and putting their differences aside, he was willing to help Hope and school to investigate the missing reports of two Mystic Falls high schoolers. She attempts to save their friendship by starting a genuine conversation, but he cuts her off by explaining that he wished she had his back and that she just blamed him for everything that happened despite it not being his fault. Their back-and-forth prodding comes to head, when Hope, asked by Alaric, has to conduct a series of magical tests on Landon to determine whether he's supernatural. The tests, however, prove negative. She eventually forgives him for hurting her, but later, when seeing Landon off, he says he's not surprised she voted 'no' to keep him at the school. However, they resolve their issues when Hope gives him a magical compass and sends him to New Orleans in the hopes to locate his birth family and they share a heartfelt kiss. After Landon activates the magical compass, indicating that he was in trouble, Hope tracks Landon to Kansas and his birth mother, Seylah Chelon. With Landon safe from immediate harm, they reconnect, though before things get too physical, they're interrupted by Alaric. They eventually make their way back to the Boarding School where Hope asks Landon to be her boyfriend, to which he says yes. After this, Hope initiates another kiss.

### Alaric Saltzman

For the past two years and after Klaus' death, Alaric has acted like another father figure to Hope, which Lizzie and Josie are quite jealous of. He often gives her advice and she takes it. Alaric also tries to mentor and convince Hope to step out of her comfort zone, as a father figure normally tried to do with their children. Alaric is also Hope's head master at her boarding school and also her coach in learning how to fight, physically of course. Hope sometimes jokes with Alaric saying that she'll need a new fighting mentor being Alaric is growing older. However, they remain close as much as a non-biological fatherly-daughterly coupling can be.

### Josie Saltzman

Hope met Josie when she moved to Mystic Falls and for a decade their relationship was distant and cold, mostly because Hope used to distance herself from Josie. For the time being, Josie harbored a secret crush on Hope, with Lizzie describing her as "obsessed". However, after Hope's parents died, they became closer and eventually became friends, such that Hope even covers for and protects Josie. Sometimes their friendship seems to make Lizzie jealous, because of Lizzie's dislike for Hope. They, however, do care for one another. When facing the croatoan, Hope admits to Lizzie that when she was fourteen she had a week-long crush on Josie. Their friendship became complicated after Hope was absorbed by Malivore and all memories of her were erased. This allowed Landon to become involved with Josie and the two developed a romantic relationship, culminating in their first kiss which was witnessed by Hope. When the memories of Hope returned to those closest to her, it complicated Landon's feelings towards both girls. Josie and Hope grew distant from one another, with Josie viewing Hope in a negative light for not telling everyone she was back from Malivore. Despite Hope's insistence that she never meant to hurt Josie, they remained distant. When Landon chose Hope instead of Josie, their dynamic grew awkward. They were able to gradually regain their friendship after Hope helped Josie with the Mora Miserium. Josie later helped decorate Hope's new dorm room so she felt more at home and less like an outsider. The girls continue to have a strong friendship and mutual connection, with Josie ensuring Hope didn't feel alone before her transition into a tribrid.

### Lizzie Saltzman

Hope met Lizzie when they were children, as both attended the Salvatore Boarding School. Hope sought to be friends with Lizzie and her sister Josie, but their relationship became tumultuous with neither liking the other for various reasons. When the Malivore monsters arrived, they were forced to put their issues aside to work together, something they both struggled to do. Lizzie was jealous of Hope over the attention she received from Alaric, Lizzie's father. She viewed Hope as the bane of her existence, hoping to one day be rid of her. Despite their many differences, they slowly grew closer, especially after Hope returned from Malivore, as only Lizzie remembered who she was. They battled many monsters together, facing triumphs and defeats as a team. Lizzie, Hope, and Josie became best friends who viewed one another in high regard. Lizzie didn't want Hope to endure the transition to a tribrid, hoping they could find another way to defeat Malivore. When Hope accepted her destiny and decided to transition, the trio cast a spell to plant a tree that would symbolize Hope's new life, ensuring she didn't feel alone in her last human moments.

After Hope defeated Malivore, she turned off her humanity and brutally attacked Alaric to ensure the other students would leave her alone. Lizzie became obsessed with killing Hope, crafting stakes from the red oak tree and training to kill her. When it came time to kill Hope, Lizzie couldn't bring herself to do it. She had too many good memories with Hope, viewed her as a member of her family, and even admitted to hating Hope for making her love her. The two worked together to stop Aurora, though Hope betrayed Lizzie by killing her, unaware that Lizzie had consumed Hope's blood from the school's first aid kit. Lizzie completed her transition into a vampire-witch hybrid, only to learn she couldn't hurt her sire due to a sire bond. Now unable to let anyone else hurt her, Lizzie was also forced to obey a humanity-less Hope's every whim. They worked together in a mutually beneficial relationship, as Lizzie asked Hope not to take away the sire bond after their goals were completed. She wasn't ready to face the world alone. Hope soon tired of Lizzie's righteous ways and used the sire bond to force her to kill Aurora. Lizzie, desperately not wanting to do it, broke the sire bond, betrayed Hope by snapping her neck, then freed Aurora. The betrayal forced Hope to feel a flicker of emotion that made her question her humanity, especially Lizzie's comparison of Hope to a monster. After she returned to the school and turned her humanity back on, Hope admitted that she owed Lizzie a massive apology for what she did to her, but it had to wait until after they handled the Gods. Lizzie agreed but first helped Hope get rid of her dark side for good as she coached Hope through a spell. Then, working together as a newfound team, Hope, Lizzie, and the rest of the super squad faced-off against Ken. After a bloody battle, they won and returned to the school. The girls laid a fallen Aurora to rest, holding hands as they said goodbye to their latest foe turned friend. With a number of changes at the school, Hope and Lizzie began a new semester, to guide the next class of supernatural students to be heroes.
