**Hope Miranda Mikaelson** is the tribrid daughter of Niklaus Mikaelson and Adrianna Gilbert, as well as the step-daughter of Damon Salvatore and Caroline Forbes. She is the granddaughter of Ansel, Esther Mikaelson, Isobel Flemming, and John Gilbert. Hope is also the step-granddaughter of Mikael, Bill and Elizabeth Forbes, and Giuseppe and Lillian Salvatore. She is the niece of Freya, Kai, Finn, Elijah, Katherine, Kol, Bonnie, Rebekah, Stefan, Henrik, Elena, and Jeremy, and the grand-niece of Dahlia. Hope is the older half-sister of Alexia Salvatore via her mother, the adoptive younger sister of Marcel Gerard via her father, and the older step-sister of Lizzie and Josie Forbes. She is also the cousin of Abby and Ace Mikaelson-Bennett, and Thalia Mikaelson-Parker.

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 Miranda after her mother's adoptive mother and she takes the surname of her father's side.

Hope was conceived in Book 5 of Part 1 of the *An Epic Kind of Love* series, and she was born in Book 1 of Part 2 of the series. As a result of her unique heritage, she is the world's first naturally born werewolf-witch-vampire hybrid. She inherited all three supernatural genes from both of her parents, though her tremendous magical ability and potential is derived from her father's side of the family.

At the end of Book 1 of the second part of the series, Hope was sent away to be raised by Rebekah and Stefan, 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 Book 2 Esther found Rebekah and Stefan while they're with Hope at the park, signified by the presence of starlings. They then return to New Orleans in order to better protect her. At the end of Book 2, Hope is living with Adrianna, Damon, and the rest of the Mikaelson Family at their mansion. By the end of the third Book, Hope is living in Mystic Falls. During Book 4, Hope lives with the rest of her family at The Abattoir and attends the Mikaelson-Salvatore Institute.

**Hope** is a member of the **Mikaelson Family**, the **Labonair Family**, the **Gilbert Family**, the **Petrova Family**, the **Salvatore 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.

"*I'm not scared. I'm a Mikaelson witch.*"
—Hope

Even when she was a baby, Hope was said to be a fighter. It was said by both her parents; Adrianna when she said to her doctor that her daughter was a tough one just like herself, and by Klaus when he said that both Adrianna and Hope were fighters. Both times it is implied that Hope inherited this trait from her mother. She also seemed to be a very calm and happy baby. Her aunt, Freya, says that, like her paternal family, she is resilient.

She is also seemingly very intelligent as she was able to use her magic as a small 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.

As a teenager, Hope is stubborn and brave as she is willing to put her life in danger to protect her loved ones. Both Klaus and Caroline describe Hope as being smart, possibly too smart for her own good, like her father. It has been shown that Hope has gained her father's trait of doing whatever she can to protect her family. Hope is always offering to help those she cares about and considers family. However, once Hope magically absorbs the Hollow's soul, along with her sister, it nearly drives her insane because she constantly starts to hear whispers of voices in her head. The only way she could end the madness is by committing acts of violence. Instead of taking her anger and frustrations out on innocents, she takes it out on those she deems not innocent (along with her sister and provided with her father's assistance). However, her desire to quell the voices by using violence and magic causes her to accidentally kill an innocent man. She struggled to come to terms with his death and refers to it as something that has stayed with her.

Due to all that has happened in the past, Hope has struggled to trust new people and form new bonds. However, with the help of her sister, step-sisters, and her cousins, she is getting better at making new friends. Hope often puts her safety and life on the line to save others, making her a true hero. 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 is more open to working with others.
## Physical Appearance

"*She has a hint of the Devil in her eyes - that's all me.*"
—Klaus about Hope

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. Her cheeks had little freckles scattered across them. She wore light-colored sleeveless dresses that normally had flowers or other prints on them. Hope also had dimples.

As a teenager, Hope is the shortest among her friends and peers, standing at 5'3" tall. She frequently wears heeled boots to accentuate her height or outfits. She has wavy auburn or dark brown hair that she styles in various styles. She also has bright light-colored blue eyes. Hope takes fashion advice from her aunts and her mother, resulting in relaxed yet edgy outfits. She is always seen wearing a crescent necklace given to her by her step-father Damon, a Mikaelson family crest necklace, a wishbone necklace, and earrings. She also has a collection of rings and other jewelry, primarily given to her by her parents. As a member of the Labonair family/Irene's bloodline, Hope has a crescent birthmark on her right shoulder, similar to that of her mother, sister, and distant relatives, Irene and the Hollow.

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 of her irises and gained black veins that cascade from her lower eyelids to just above her cheekbones.

## Powers and Abilities

As one of the world's first naturally born hybrid of three supernatural species, the full extent or limits of Hope's powers are currently unknown.

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 one of the greatest witch the world may ever know; the others being her mother and her sister. As a fully transitioned tribrid, Hope did not lose her magic and can continue to practice witchcraft.

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 the powers of lycanthropy. Though Hope is an Evolved Werewolf with the ability of Transformation Control, she still had to go through her first transformation as it is a rite of passage that cannot be controlled. Following Klaus and Adrianna's instructions, Hope accepted the pain during her transformation, thus allowing her to 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 had the healing properties characteristic of vampire blood. Her blood can be used to sire new vampires and hybrids, the latter being an ability only possessed by her parents and her sister, as well as to heal vampires from a werewolf bite. After activating her vampire side, Hope showed great proficiency in utilizing her vampire powers. Hope also has the ability to compel vampires.

## Weaknesses

According to Dahlia, firstborns of her family's bloodline inherit great power; however, it is unstable and will damage and, ultimately, kill the witch if they are not taught to contain it. Furthermore, as a possessor of the werewolf gene, Hope will experience bouts of severe aggression.

As one of the world's first naturally born hybrid of all three supernatural species, the full extent and limits of Hope's weaknesses are currently unknown.

## Relationships

### Adrianna Gilbert

"*I can feel her. She's here. I can feel my baby*"
—Adrianna about Hope

*Main Article: Hope and Adrianna*

Adrianna is Hope's mother and it is very apparent that Adrianna loves her daughter very much. Adrianna became pregnant with Hope after a one-night stand with Klaus Mikaelson. She discovered her pregnancy after she was kidnapped and used by Sophie and Jane-Ann Deveraux to build an alliance with the Mikaelson family. Adrianna was at first excited to have a child as she thought that was no longer an option for her since she became a vampire, however, later she became worried about being a good mother. She was reassured by both Caroline and Elena. When Adrianna found out that she was having a daughter, she was very excited and happy because she did not want to have a mini Klaus. Adrianna was later kidnapped by witches after they induced her labor. They took her baby from her after she gave birth and then killed Adrianna. The witches, by killing her, unknowingly completed her transition into the Original Tribrid. Adrianna, along with Klaus and Elijah, fought the witches for her daughter and then they faked her death and sent her away with Rebekah and Stefan. After a few months apart, the mother-daughter duo are reunited. Adrianna raised her daughter to be a strong and independent young woman, protecting her in every way that she could. Hope was one of the inspirations for Adrianna and Caroline opening the Mikaelson-Salvatore Institute and began attending as soon as the school was opened. It is very clear that Hope and Adrianna have an unbreakable bond and would do anything to protect each other.

### Niklaus Mikaelson

"*My daughter...my heir...you're my heart.*"
—Klaus to Hope

*Main Article: Klaus and Hope*

Klaus is Hope's father, and even though he refused the child at first, he soon accepted her and was determined to not behave as his step-father had, and to raise the child differently. Klaus 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 and he is always 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 at this point, however, their love and adoration for each other never wavers. Hope's childhood love for Klaus was crafted by her mother and Caroline, who told stories about Klaus, his loyalty to his family, his love for her, and their shared interests in art. After the two are separated due to the Hollow, Klaus and Hope remain in contact through phone calls and FaceTime. They are finally reunited years later and have been together ever since.

### Rebekah Mikaelson

"*She looks like her mother. Maybe there is a God after all.*"
—Rebekah about Hope

*Main Article: Rebekah and Hope*

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, along with Stefan. She often told Hope stories of her birth and how her parents sent her away to be safe. Rebekah, Stefan, and Hope returned to New Orleans after Esther found them. Rebekah cares deeply for Hope and stayed in her life until The Hollow forces them to separate. They still kept in touch while they were separated and Rebekah gives Hope a Mikaelson family crest necklace, delivered through Freya, that Hope continues to wear to this day. Rebekah and Hope are reunited after seven years and are very happy to see each other.

### Alexia Salvatore

"*You're my little sister, I will always protect you.*"
—Hope to Alexia

*Main Article: Hope and Alexia*

Alexia is Hope's younger maternal half-sister and best friend. The two are very close with one another and this is due to them going through a lot as young children together. Hope is more reserved and is less open to making new friends than her sister is. Hope is feared by her peers due to her often out of control magic and who her father is, which sometimes leads to tense confrontations at the school. This often results in Alexia defending her sister against the children of the school. Alexia is one of the only people that can calm Hope down when she has anxiety attacks and is able to siphon from Hope's magical energy blasts when she gets overwhelmed. When she does this, Alexia is able to lessen the impact the blast has on the surroundings. Hope is very protective of her younger sister and always tries to warn her about trusting people and letting them in too early. They work hard to keep each other safe and their bond remains strong throughout the entire series, no matter the challenges that they face.

* She shares some traits with her aunt, Freya:
	+ Both of their births were against nature (Esther was infertile and being vampires Klaus and Adrianna normally cannot have children).
	+ They are both the first-born of their generation and they are both girls.
	+ Hope was given to her aunt Rebekah by her parents to keep her safe, and Freya was taken away by her aunt Dahlia.
	+ Both were separated from their parents under the pretense of death, while only a select few knew what really happened to them.

	+ They were taken from their mothers shortly after birth, Hope by the witches and Nadia by her grandfather. They were later reunited with them after a considerable amount of time apart; eight months and 500 years, respectively.
