The **Labonair Family** is a family featured in Part of the *An Epic Kind of Love* series and a royal bloodline of werewolves that has been referred to as having existed since the beginning of the werewolf species. Their oldest known ancestor is the powerful witch, Irene, from Ancient Greece. The family once lived in The French Quarter of New Orleans, and it has links to both the Original Family and the North East Atlantic Pack through Hope Mikaelson. The family also has ties to the Salvatore Family through Alexia, as well as the Gilbert Family and the Petrova Family through Adrianna Gilbert.

The family line is distinguished by a birthmark of a crescent moon that appears on the right shoulder of those who share in its bloodline.

## History

The Labonair Family are one of the two great families of the Crescent Wolf Clan which, according to Jackson, came to be at the beginning of the werewolf species. The two families were considered royalty among the werewolves due to this birthright, it has also been said that the Labonairs have many enemies, even among the werewolves.

The oldest known ancestor of the family is Irene, a very powerful witch from Ancient Greece. In the 1980s to the 1990s, their clan took control of New Orleans. However, dissent had begun to grow between the Labonairs and the other bloodlines in their clan, leading to internal strife among the werewolves. It was this strife thatbmade the werewolves vulnerable to the New Orleans vampires, to whom control of the Quarter eventually fell. In order to unite the Crescent Clan against their enemies, the Labonairs had arranged to have their daughter Andréa marry Jackson Kenner, a werewolf from the other royal bloodline in their pack when they came of age. However, the vampires attacked them before their plans could come to fruition, and nearly all the Labonairs were killed in the struggle, including Andréa's parents, by someone they knew. All of the surviving members of the Crescent Clan were cursed by a witch named Brynne Deveraux, who was being possessed by Céleste Dubois and who was acting on the vampire leader Marcel's orders. The cursed wolves were forced to live in their werewolf form at all times, with the exception of the hours that the full moon was in the sky, during which time they were returned to their human forms. Unbeknownst to many, the vampire Marcel found baby Andréa shortly after her parents had been murdered and took her to Father Kieran to find her an adoptive family, as he has a rule about hurting children. Andréa was adopted by a new family shortly afterward and was renamed Hayley Marshall. Also unbeknownst to anyone at the time, the doppelgänger twins in Mystic Falls, Adrianna and Elena Gilbert, were descendants of the Labonair line as well.

After Adrianna and Elena were revealed to be descendants of the Labonair line and Adrianna was revealed to be the world's first tribrid, Adrianna hooked up with Klaus. As a result of this one-night-stand, she became pregnant with their daughter, revealing that both Klaus and Adrianna could still reproduce even though they were technically undead.

While in New Orleans, Adrianna was kidnapped and brought to the Bayou by Tyler Lockwood and Hayley Marshall, who wanted to confirm a suspicion about the magical properties of her baby's blood. There, she ran into a werewolf named Eve, who gave her some information on the Labonairs, including giving her a Bible that had the names of every Labonair who had been born over several generations. Adrianna reached out to Hayley, who had been turned into a hybrid during her encounter with Tyler, and gave her the Bible and told her all that Eve had said. Later, Sophie Deveraux made a deal with Hayley and Adrianna to undo the curse on their family if they helped her complete The Harvest. They later discovered that Sabine/Celeste had possessed the Deveraux witch who put the curse on their clan and they decided to kidnap her so she and Eve could force her to break the curse, which she ultimately did.

Eventually, Adrianna gave birth to her daughter, Hope Mikaelson in St. Anne's Church, where she was being held prisoner by the French Quarter Coven. who sought to sacrifice Adrianna and Hope for more power and to satisfy Esther's decree.

Shortly after childbirth, Adrianna was killed by Monique Deveraux, but since Adrianna had previously casted a modified version of the Immortality Spell on herself, she awakened hours later in transition to become the Original Tribrid. Adrianna and the Mikaelson brothers managed to find and save Hope from the coven, in the process killing two of the Harvest Girls and Genevieve. However, due to the revelation that Esther was the leader of the witches and the witch ancestors, as well as the growing threat of the Guerrera Family in the wake of their coup that gained the werewolves control over the Quarter, Adrianna and Klaus faked Hope's death and sent her away to live with her aunt and uncle, Rebekah and Stefan, for her own safety.

She was adopted by a human family as an infant and had no idea about her werewolf heritage until she accidentally got into a drunken boating accident when she was 13, which resulted in the inadvertent death of one of her friends at her hands, triggering her werewolf curse. Upon her first transformation as a werewolf, during which she shifted in the middle of her parents' house, her adoptive parents kicked her out of the house and Hayley began living on her own. While drifting from place to place, she became obsessed with finding her biological parent's identities. She eventually met Tyler Lockwood and became friends with him. She eventually made her way to New Orleans, where, after an incident with Tyler and Adrianna, she became a hybrid. Hayley eventually found out about her family and met her betrothed, and future husband, Jackson.

* **Hope Mikaelson:** Hope is the tribrid daughter of Klaus and Adrianna. Her mother became pregnant with her after a one-night-stand with Klaus Mikaelson in Mystic Falls and discovered her pregnancy after she was kidnapped by witches from the French Quarter Coven and brought to New Orleans.

Alexia is a descendant of the first Immortals, Silas and Amara, as well as a second-born of Irene's bloodline, giving her a tremendous amount of magical ability. Due to this, she is extremely powerful, rivaled only by her mother and her sister.

## Surname

* **Labonair** may be derived from Bonaire. This interesting name has a number of possible origins, each with its own distinct derivation. Firstly, the surname may be of Old French origin, derived from the Old French term "bonnaire", from the phrase "de bon(ne) aire", meaning "of good bearing or appearance", and adopted into Middle English as "boner(e), bonour", gentle, courteous, handsome, thence used as a nickname for someone thought to embody these qualities.
* The surname from this source is found particularly in England and Scotland; one Thomas Boner was the first name to be recorded in Scotland as a charter witness in Aberdeen in 1281. Secondly, Bonner may be an Irish (County Donegal) translation of the Gaelic "O'Cnaimhsighe", descendant of Cnaimhseach, a byname meaning "Midwife". Finally, the surname may be of Welsh origin, as an Anglicized form of the patronymic "ab Ynyr", son of Ynyr, a personal name derived from the Latin "Honorius", Honoured.
