**Hope Andrea Mikaelson** is a former supporting character and a current main character in the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, and eighth seasons of MTV's *Teen Wolf*. Hope is the daughter to an unknown father and Arielle Mikaelson. She is the adoptive daughter to Melissa McCall. She is the adoptive younger sister to Scott and Adella McCall, as well as Olivia Raven.

Though Hope originally attended Devenford Preparatory Academy, she transferred when her friend got expelled to stay by his side. It was then Hope was hurt badly by Sean Walcott who had took a chunk out of her leg. Scott McCall found her in the halls bleeding out and wanted to save her life. However, to do so, Scott had to give Hope the Bite, and she ended up successfully surviving the process to become a Werejaguar. She took it as a good sign and asked Adella McCall for help in control and how to use her new abilities. She also learns of her witch abilities to which both her Adella learned together.

After Season 4 and throughout Season 5, Hope grew closer to all of the members of her new pack, especially Scott, Hayley, Josie, Stiles, but she was initially afraid to confess her new supernatural identity to her best friend Mason Hewitt. However, Hope eventually overcame this fear after she was forced to shift in front of him, and she was relieved when Mason accepted her confession with excitement and joy. The two and Liam then helped the McCall Pack deal with the Dread Doctors and their newly-created Chimeras, but unbeknownst to anyone, Theo Raeken, a Chimera masquerading as a true Werewolf who claimed to have returned to Beacon Hills after a long absence to join Scott and Adella's pack, was actually manipulating all of the members to turn against Scott, but Hope didn't.

Hope's relationships with Scott and the pack at large are stronger than ever, and they were able to defeat the Dread Doctors, Sebastien Valet/the Beast of Gevaudan, and Theo himself as a team.

In Season 6, Hope became even more involved in the supernatural world, as her Alpha's and close friend Scott and Adella would soon be leaving for college, forcing her to step up in preparation to take up the leadership of the pack in their absence. Despite her insecurity, she learned a lot about what it takes to be an Alpha and successfully defeated a Hellhound in one-on-one combat, all while suffering from the effects of the Anuk-ite's fear-inducement powers. She has since become an essential member of the pack as she prepares for her own graduation from high school.

**Hope** is a member of the **Mikaelson Family**, by adoption the **Delgado Family** and has a connection to the **McCall Family**, **Raven Family**, and **Beaumont Family** through the adoption as well. She's also a member of the **McCall Pack**.

## Personality

Hope is shown to be stubborn and brave. She is always offering to help to save those she cares about and considers family, including the pack. 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.

## Physical Appearance

Hope is one of 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.

## Powers and Abilities

Hope possesses all the standard powers and abilities of a Werejaguar and a Witch and is seemingly above-average in terms of her power level after only a short time in being supernatural. 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. She is able to turn into a full jaguar as well, making her one of the first to evolve.

Her strength was so powerful that she could keep up in a sparring match with Adella McCall, who has been in the supernatural world much longer than she had been. In addition to these shapeshifting powers, Hope has the abilities to cast spells because of her witch side. She's able to help Adella contain a powerful relic from The Hollow.

## Weaknesses

Hope possesses all of the known weaknesses of Witches and Werejaguars, which consists of (though, due to the lack of knowledge on this species, may not be limited to) Mountain Ash and wolfsbane, specifically the yellow variety, it weakness her abilities to shift.

This may possibly be due to the fact that jaguars are a feline species, unlike wolves, coyotes, and foxes, which are canine species who are normally adversely affected by Wolfsbane.
