They say that what they did didn't help because the dark line is back and evokes the transformation they must do without their mother, Klaus offers his help but they answer that for now they need to be alone, so he leaves them. Davina later comes to the cemetery to talk to them, she tells them that they're not well and that they don't want to attend Freya and Katherine's wedding because their guilt will ruin the day but Davina retorts that it's their absence which will ruin the day and that even if it's hard they must live the moment.

In *The Tale of Two Wolves*, Nina and her siblings have to await their first transformation and is told they may not survive the process due to The Hollow slowly killing them from within. After a day out with Elijah and Jeremy, they join Klaus, Alaric, and his daughters as part of a ritual to extract the Hollow from them, which can only be done while they're in the middle of transforming. While Lizzie and Josie are chanting, the transformation begins and they're brought to their knees from their bones breaking and pain resulting from it. Klaus tells them 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, they transform completely into their wolf form in a matter of moments and has the Hollow extracted from them successfully. The kids in wolf form stares at their father, who looks on them with a smile before witnessing them run into the forest with Valentina.

In *When The Saints Go Marching In*, Nina and her siblings stop their father from killing himself and they go back to New Orleans. They're worried about their father and his condition and tries to go after him when he gets loose from his cell. They find him in the city and while he is tempted by the Hollow, he goes with them back to the compound. Freya and the kids preform a spell to move the Hollow from Klaus into Aurora de Martel and then kill her to bring Alex back to life. They all have a family dinner to celebrate Alex's return. They all have a talk about Always and Forever and that the Mikaelson's are not going anywhere. Nina paints their families who are werewolves in a painting as Hope paints a family portrait. They turn around to see their mother and smiles at her.

## Personality

Even when she was a baby, Nina was a fighter. She is also very intelligent as she was able to use her magic at a very young age. Nina seems to be a kind and gentle young girl, with a sweet and innocent persona. She is also rather lonely, never having any other kids her own age to play with other than her siblings, Lizzie and Josie Saltzman, and Sheila St. John-Bennett.

As a teenager, Nina is shown to be very stubborn, brave, and has a attitude. She was willing to put herself through extreme pain and possible death in order to get her mother back.

Both Klaus and Katherine describe Nina as being smart, possibly too smart for her own good, like her father. It has shown that Nina has gained some of her father's traits of doing whatever to protecting family.

Nina and her siblings always offering to help to save those they care about and considers family, including Marcel.

However, once Nina and her siblings magically absorbs the Hollow’s soul, it nearly drives them insane because they constantly start to hear whispers of voices in their head. The only way they can end the madness going on inside their head is by committing acts of violence.

Instead of taking their anger and frustrations out on innocents, they take it out on those they deems not innocent (provided with their father's assistance). However, their desire to quell the voices by using violence and magic causes them to kill someone who is innocent, although they intended not to.

Nina struggles to forge meaningful connections with other people and make friends with the other students at the Salvatore School, not only because she's already endured a lifetime of grief and heartbreak. To her peers, she seems closed off.

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 other than family, tediously forming friendships and entering a romantic relationship with MG. She is slowly becoming more optimistic that she will be happy.

## Physical Appearance

Physically, Nina is a very beautiful and attractive young woman with round hazel eyes. Her hair goes to the middle of her back and has natural curly hair like her sister and mother. Katherine described her as beautiful. As a Labonair, she has the Crescent birthmark on her right shoulder, just like her mother, siblings, and distant relatives, Eve, Lana, and the Hollow.

Nina favored a brown smoky eye with thick winged eyeliner, and her choice in lipstick was a darker, sultry pink appearance. Nina, having much curlier hair, seemed to have a much greater volume than her triplet, Lily. She is seen wearing the Mikaelson, Petrova, Labonair, and Salvatore crest along with the replica talisman that her mother always wears.

In her wolf form, Nina possesses black fur and has the typical glowing yellow eyes that comes with Lycanthropy.

## Powers and Abilities

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

Nina, her mother, and her siblings are Nature's loophole that could be used against Malivore. There is no facts if Nina can heal people who have been shot with weaponized Malivore bullets since it has not been seen.

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

Nina is a witch-hybrid, having inherited her witch gene from her mother, Alex. One of the Hollow's acolytes reiterates this sentiment when he states that Nina and her siblings might be the greatest witches the world may ever know.

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

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

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

Two years later, now with the Hollow expelled from their body, their magic seems to have become more stabilized and in their own control.
Nina is also part werewolf, having inherited the werewolf gene from her mother. 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 Nina's first transformation with her siblings looming, Caroline questions that Crescent wolves could control their transformations. In response, Klaus states that the first transformation is a rite of passage and cannot be controlled. This implicates that her werewolf nature was an Evolved Werewolf with the ability of Transformation Control. 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, Nina has accepted the pain during her transformation, thus it allows her to fully transform within a few minutes instead of a few hours. Despite that the werewolf curse was originally casted upon Native American witches, preventing them and their descendants from using magic, Nina's lycanthropy does not negate her ability to practice magic; further reasoning about this has not been elaborated upon.

Before dying she wasn't a full vampire-hybrid, but she did posses a few vampiric traits, specifically her blood. She's able to heal herself, such as when she sliced open her hand. Her blood can be used to sire new vampires and hybrids. Now as a full vampire-hybrid her strength, speed, and agility has increased drastically. Nina is able to heal vampires from a werewolf bite.

## Weaknesses

As one of the hybrid of all three supernatural species, the full extent and limits of Nina's weaknesses are currently unknown.

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