**Nadia Petrova** *(**Bulgarian:** Надя Петрова)* is a hybrid and a former member of The Travelers who is Katerina Petrova's daughter, making her an ancestor of Scott Delgado, Arielle Labonair, Hayley Marshall, Elena and Alex Gilbert and a descendant of Amara. She is the step-daughter to Elijah Mikaelson and older maternal sister to Victoria Mikaelson.

Although most of Nadia's life is unknown, she revealed that she had spent the last 500 years searching for her mother; it also wasn't known from which Original's sireline she attained her vampirism, though it would be fair to assume that it came from the still-surviving Originals (Klaus or Rebekah). She was seemingly not very well accustomed to modern American culture, but was more versed in past history. She also knew a great deal about Katerina's life in the past centuries.

**Nadia** was a member of the **Petrova Family**. Through her mothers marriage and her maternal younger sister she's apart of the **Mikaelson Family**.

## History

### Early History

Nadia was born in 1490 in Bulgaria. Katherine begged her father to allow her to hold the child just once, but he said that she had disgraced the family, and took the child away to a new family, so that the shame would not become known.

### 1498

In 1498, Nadia was only eight years old when Katherine had escaped Klaus, and found her way back to Bulgaria. Katherine searched every village and every cottage, but claimed she never managed to find Nadia.

### 1520

In Northern Europe in 1520, Nadia, at the age of thirty, was looking for her mother at someone's home. She is still either a human or a relatively-new vampire.

### 1720

She was willing to pay a man in France in the year 1720 about information regarding her mother's whereabouts. This was apparently because he had witnessed Katherine killing a man just outside the Court of Versailles.

## Personality

* Witch
* Vampire

Little was known about Nadia's personality when she was a witch. It can be assumed that she was loving and loyal. The motive of her choice to become a vampire was to give herself the strength and immortality to fulfill her goal of finding her mother. After more than 500 years, they were finally reunited.

Nadia was initially described as an emotional and beautiful 20-something who had traveled the world on a mission to finally track down her mother, Katerina Petrova, in the hopes of establishing a relationship. After 500 years of searching, Nadia finally found her. She was a member of the Travelers until she became a vampire and lost her magical powers, but it was implied that she continued to spend time maintaining relationships with Travelers even after she was turned.

## Physical Appearance

Nadia was a young strikingly beautiful woman with brown curly hair and deep brown eyes with dark thick lashes, She bared some resemblance to her mother Katherine Pierce (Katerina Petrova), sharing her brown curly hair, oval shaped face with fine bone structure and large almond-shaped brown eyes. She didn't wear a lot of makeup, aside from smokey eyes and glossed lips, as her beautiful face showed off her natural beauty.

She had a keen eye for sensually cut and stylish clothing, much like her mother, and was usually seen wearing gray, white and black tops, leather jackets, and tight-fitting pants or jeans (usually black or grey), all of which were usually paired with high-heeled boots.
