**Dr. Hope Andrea Mikaelson** **Malfoy** (***Elder Futhark:*** *ᚺᛟᛈᛖ ᚨᚾᛞᚱᛖᚨ ᛗᛁᚲᚨᛖᛚᛋᛟᚾ*) is a American half-blood tribrid, and one of the most famous witches of modern times. The only child Niklaus Mikaelson and Hayley Marshall-Kenner, Hope's birth was overshadowed by a prophecy, naming her to be the soulmate and one half of the power to vanquish Lord Voldemort, the most powerful and feared Dark wizard in the world.

Hope is the great-granddaughter to Godric Gryffindor granddaughter of Ansel, Esther Mikaelson and two unnamed werewolves, as well as the step-granddaughter of Mikael. She is also the niece of Freya, Finn, Elijah, Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik Mikaelson, and the grand-niece of Dahlia. She is also a distant relative of Lana, Eve, and Cary. She is the adoptive younger sister of Marcel Gerard via her father. Due to his marriage to Hayley, Jackson Kenner was her step-father for almost a year, until he was killed by Tristan de Martel.

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 Andrea after her mother's birth-name and she takes the surname of her father's side.

As a result of her unique heritage, she is the world's first werewolf-witch-vampire hybrid. She inherited her werewolf gene from both of her parents, while her vampire and witch legacy came from her father who is the Original vampire-werewolf hybrid and the son of the Original Witch. Through her lineage, Hope is werewolf, vampire, and witch royalty.

Hope was sent away to be raised by Rebekah, in order to protect her from her father's enemies: the Guerrera Wolves, Esther, and Dahlia. Her death was faked to protect her. However, Esther had found Rebekah whilst she is with Hope at the park, this is signified by the presence of starlings. Lord Voldemort during the same time Esther is tracking her felt a very strong presence of magic near and wanted it for himself so he tracked down and tried to steal Hope's power but she fought back somehow using magic to send him far away from her.

At the end of the second season, Hope is living with Hayley and Jackson (stepfather by marriage) in the Bayou, and by the end of the third season, she is living with Hayley on the road. By the fourth season, she lives with Hayley and the Mikaelson Family at the Abattoir.

After having the Hollow's spirit separated into four members of her family, she and Hayley leave for Mystic Falls. She becomes a student at the boarding school and as time goes by, she becomes determined to see her father again, despite the consequences that could ensue. After her parents death and defeat of the Hollow, a grieving Hope returns to the Salvatore School where she gets expelled months after returning.

Due to Hope's expulsion Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry send her a letter inviting her to come to learn at Hogwarts. Though she is very skilled in terra magic she had never heard of Hogwarts. She and her best friend Josie Saltzman set off to New Orleans to talk to her aunt Freya who has a thousand years of knowledge on witchcraft. While in New Orleans Freya explained to Hope that she is the great-granddaughter to Godric Gryffindor one of the four founders of Hogwarts. The following day Freya took Hope and Josie to Diagon Alley where they meet Rubeus Hagrid a half-giant. She bought a snow-white owl, Vera. While she was in Diagon Alley, Hope also got her school supplies (i.e., books from Flourish and Blotts, her robes from Madam Malkin's Robes for All Occasions, and her potion equipment from Slug & Jiggers Apothecary). Hope began attending Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in 1993. The Sorting Hat told Hope she was apart of all four houses, as she is special out of everyone. At school, Hope grew close to Harry Potter, Ron Weasley, and Hermione Granger really quickly and showed her the ropes. She also became quite close with Maggie Black and Isabelle Lightwood. While in school, Hope demonstrated an extraordinary talent for Defence Against the Dark Arts.

During her second year at Hogwarts she grew close to an older wizard, Cedric Diggory and began a romantic relationship much to Draco Malfoy's dislike who's in love with her. During the school year and the Triwizard Tournament she's been having panic attacks anytime she would meet Draco's eyes. She watched Cedric die through the eyes of Harry, a spell she did after having a gut feeling that someone was going to die. During the next school year, in defiance of Dolores Umbridge's and the Ministry of Magic's strict regime against the teaching of Defence Against the Dark Arts and the continued introduction of the new Educational Decree, Ron and Hermione first had the idea of creating an illegal Defence Against the Dark Arts group called Dumbledore's Army. Hope was initially reluctant to the idea, but she gradually came to like it and eventually agreed to help start the group. Later she finds out she's pregnant with twins Scorpius Hyperion and Elijah Niklaus from her grandmother and great-aunt.

Hope played a significant role in many other battles of the Second Wizarding War. During what would have been her fifth year at Hogwarts, she, Ron, Hermione, Harry, and Josie hunted down and destroyed Voldemort's Horcruxes. During the Battle of Hogwarts, Hope personally saw the deaths of Severus Snape and Fred Weasley while learning that Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks, Colin Creevey, and many others had fallen in the battle as well. She encountered Voldemort and she sacrificed herself, knowing she was going to come back stronger than ever. While in limbo, after Voldemort cursed her in the forest clearing, Lizzie Saltzman gave Hope advice and courage that she can face anything that comes next. When told that she could choose to live or to "move on," Hope ultimately chose to live. After she awoke, Hope completed her transition and confronted Voldemort and defeated him once and for all. After the war, Hope and Draco got married and had three more children Andrea Rebekah, Elizabeth Margarita, and Salem Mae.

**Hope** is a member of the **Mikaelson Family**, **Labonair Family**, **Kenner Family**, **Gryffindor Family**, and an unnamed **family of werewolves**. By marriage she is apart of the **Malfoy Family** and **Black Family**. Hope is by birthright a member of the **Crescent Wolf Pack** and the **North East Atlantic Pack**, as well as an unnamed **Norwegian family of powerful witches**, and the only child fathered by the Original Hybrid.

## Personality

Hope was born a fighter, having inherited Hayley's toughness and Klaus' tenacity, something both her parents pointed out when Hope was a baby. She was a very calm and happy baby, with Freya mentioning how Hope inherited her paternal family's resilience. She is also seemingly very intelligent, as she was able to use her magic to turn Camille's car on and off, saving her from immediate danger, all despite being a 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. She once expressed to her father that she was lonely, never having any other kids her own age to play with.

As a teenager, Hope was stubborn and brave as she was willing to put herself through extreme pain and possible death to get her mother back. Both Klaus and Caroline described Hope as smart, possibly too smart for her own good, like her father. Hope did whatever she could to protect her family and always offered to help save those she cared about or considered family, including Marcel. However, when Hope magically absorbed the Hollow's soul, the constant whispering nearly drove her insane. The only way she could end the madness was by committing acts of violence. With her father's assistance, she took her anger and frustration out on those she deemed guilty. Her desire to quell the voices by using violence and magic caused her to accidentally kill an innocent human, which triggered her werewolf curse. She struggled to come to terms with his death and referred to it as something that has stayed with her.

To a lot of her peers, she seems closed off as she's already endured a lifetime of grief and heartbreak. Because of the heartbreak she has endured, Hope has built up an emotional wall and she comes across as being cruel, aggressive, brutal, and mean at times. But she is forgiving to Harry when he almost killed her boyfriend Draco. 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 tediously forming friendships and entering a serious romantic relationship. She is slowly becoming more optimistic that she will be happy.

Hope often puts her safety and life in danger to save others, making her a true hero. She is incredibly loyal to her friends, despite initial difficulties working with a team at times. She is independent and believes she can complete any task by herself, though she slowly becomes more willing to work with others. She made the impossible choice to become a tribrid as a way of saving thousands of people that she would never meet. She feared that becoming the tribrid would not only keep her locked in her trauma forever but knew it would be the only way to access her true powers to defeat the dark lord. The way she lived her life earned her the option of finding peace when she died. However, she chose to return to save everyone.

After defeating Voldemort, Hope sees a message from her father who has finally found Peace. He wants her to live her life and understand that despite the inevitable hard times ahead, she's a Mikaelson and will survive. With the knowledge Klaus is okay, Hope finally lays him to rest and takes her fathers advice as she prepares for the next chapter of her immortal life.

## Physical Appearance

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. As a child, she had long auburn hair and light blue eyes. Her cheeks had little freckles scattered across them. She was seen in light-colored sleeveless dresses, that normally had flowers or other prints on them. Hope also had dimples in her cheeks.

As a teenager, Hope is 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. Caroline Forbes described her as beautiful. As a Labonair, Hope has a Crescent birthmark on her right shoulder, similar to that of her mother and distant relatives, Eve, Lana, and the Hollow.

    Hope's wardrobe and fashion choices begin to expand. She wears primarily black or deep reds in the form of jumpers, boots, or jackets. She also experiments with her hair, wearing it in a top knot, a high ponytail, or crinkles for the first time. She mixes her new fashion choices by wearing her favorite color top paired with black leather jackets, switches up from combat boots, to pumps, and rarely converse, but is seen wearing them. She dials down on the makeup but wears more then what she did before.

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

## Powers and Abilities

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

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

Hope is a witch-hybrid, having inherited her witch gene from her father, the son of Esther Mikaelson and the grandson of Godric Gryffindor. 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 power for generations, while one of the Hollow's acolytes reiterates this sentiment when he states that Hope and her siblings might be the greatest witch the world may ever know.

As a baby, Hope demonstrated heightened awareness of the impending explosion at her family's house and she used her magic to temporarily turn off Camille's car (as they were on their way there) to protect herself and Camille. She then used it again to turn the car back on.

After five years of being hidden from the world with her siblings, Hope 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 Hope has detected these events while still wearing her bracelet that blocks her power. While other children were unconscious as a result of being tied to a spell that was draining their energy, Hope was able to retain her consciousness like her siblings until her magic sealing bracelet was removed by Klaus. Hope managed to counter the boundary spell cast by her aunt Freya on Marcel. 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.

Five years later, Hope 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, such that she created a spell combined with a cloaking spell that she performed on Hayley, as she was the one to kidnap her and lure Klaus back to New Orleans. She claimed that it was the "perfect" cloaking spell and that it would keep her safe; despite this claim, she was kidnapped again.

While she was the Hollow's vessels, containing both spirit and Dark Magic, her magic was amplified by that of the Hollow, as she whispered to them in her attempt to corrupt her. During this time, her telekinesis and pain infliction seemed to be amplified as purging her pain, by using her magic, seemed to be the only course of treatment. Now with the Hollow expelled from her body, her magic seems to have become more stabilized and in her own control. However, she continues to use Dark Magic.

Unlike every witch that transitioned into a vampire, Hope did not lose her ability to practice magic when she became a full tribrid. She was, however, unable to access her magic when she was in transition which left her vulnerable. After feeding, she regained access to her magic, in addition to her vampire and werewolf natures.

Hope is also part werewolf, having inherited the werewolf gene from both of her parents. 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. With Hope's first transformation, 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 as an Evolved Werewolf with the ability of Transformation Control. However, Hope states to Draco that her ability to control her transformation stems from her tribrid status, as like with other werewolf-vampire hybrids.

Currently, whether it's the former or latter which grants her transformation control, or additional abilities as an evolved werewolf, remains unknown. Additionally 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, Hope 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, Hope's lycanthropy does not negate her ability to practice magic; further reasoning about this has not been elaborated upon.

Upon completing her transition into a fully activated tribrid Hope gained the ability to transform from human to wolf form within seconds while magically maintaining her clothing. Her transition also included an energy wave that rippled over her body as she transitioned from one form to another, a trait that is not present in other werewolf transformations.

Before becoming an activated tribrid, Hope possessed a few vampiric traits, specifically her blood. Her blood was able to heal her mother while in the womb as well as she's able to heal herself, such as when she sliced open her hand and stabbed her foot with a trash picker. Her blood can be used to sire new vampires and hybrids, the latter being an ability possessed by the Original Hybrid, her father as well as to heal vampires from a werewolf bite.

After completing her transition, Hope was still able to practice magic. Her true form did not alter much, as she maintained her golden eyes. Hope now is truly immortal and can only be killed by a red oak stake from the Red Oak Tree. Hope showed great proficiency in utilizing her vampire powers. Hope showed her ability to compel fellow vampires. Previously, this has only been possible by an Original vampire.
## Magical Abilities and Skills

* **Love**: Hope's greatest power of all was her ability to love. Her love for her friends caused her to sacrifice herself to Voldemort. This loving sacrifice conferred a certain amount of protection onto her allies, making it so that spells Voldemort tried to place on them quickly wore off. Hope's ability to love has also protected and helped her on several occasions. Those occasions are; when she produced a Patronus that could drive hundreds of Dementors away, repelled Voldemort from reading her mind, and many more. Her love was strongest when directed at Draco Malfoy, who was one of the driving force that kept her going until Voldemort was defeated. Hope also felt strong love toward her five children.
* **Magical Aptitude**: At Hogwarts, Hope was usually the first to master any spell and could use spells beyond her educational level. She earned ten O.W.L.s; ten 'Outstandings'. She was the strongest student in every subject, even the other students acknowledged that Hope was the best and repeatedly admired her spell work.
* **Charms**: Hope was exceptionally talented with charm-work and some of her most impressive magical feats were charms. She effortlessly mastered the Levitation Charm at the age of four, and also quickly learnt how to cast other charms such as the Unlocking Charm and Flashing paint charm without difficulty. She not only achieved an 'Outstanding' O.W.L. Hope enchanted her small handbag with an Undetectable Extension Charm to allow her to carry more items in the bag than physically possible.
* **Transfiguration**: Hope was particularly talented in transfiguration. She earned an 'Outstanding' in her O.W.L. exam, learning to vanish objects, one of its hardest spells. She was very skilled at conjuration, an advanced type of transfiguration.
* **Defence Against the Dark Arts**: Hope was extremely adept at Defence Against the Dark Arts, having mastered all manners of spells. Some of the spells include the: Stunning Spell, Disarming Charm, Impediment Jinx, Full Body-Bind Curse, Reductor Curse, and many others. She was one of the only student who flawlessly made it through the end-of-the-year exam (an obstacle course containing some of the said creatures).
* **Duelling**: Despite Hope's young age, she was an accomplished and very skillful duelist. She was able to single-handedly defeat some of the most formidable Death Eaters. She eventually defeated Voldemort by becoming the master of the Elder Wand. In many battles of the Second Wizarding War, she was able to incapacitate much more experienced Death Eaters. During the Battle of the Department of Mysteries; she, Albus Dumbledore, Harry Potter, and Remus Lupin were the only fighters on the Order's side to emerge from the battle physically unscathed. She was able to fight and win against the extremely powerful Bellatrix Lestrange. During the Skirmish at Malfoy Manor she overpowered Lucius Malfoy and Fenrir Greyback and avoided direct conflict damage all throughout the Battle of Hogwarts. Hope was known to be very quick off the draw and had an aggressive dueling style, even incorporating Unforgivable Curses. She was also known to taunt her opponents and would get them to talk at length, angering them and throwing them mentally off-balance. She did this in order to buy herself time to strategies or to lull them into lowering their guard. Hope was especially skilled in the Disarming Charm.
* **Dark Arts**: Hope was one of the few non-Dark witches who was highly proficient in the Dark Arts at all levels. On top of being able to cast simple dark charms. She was also able to flawlessly cast the jinxes, hexes, and curses.
* **Parseltongue**: Though Hope is not a descendant of Salazar Slytherin she managed to gain the ability to speak and understand Parseltongue.
* **Potions**: Hope has no problem with potions. She also had first hand knowledge on the effects of Polyjuice Potion, love potions, Felix Felicis, and Veritaserum.
* **Herbology**: Hope showed proficiency in the subject and advanced to N.E.W.T.-level. She knowledge of plants such as: Devil's Snare, Gillyweed, Venomous Tentacula, Mandrakes, Dittany, and Fanged Geranium. She could cast plant-related spells such as the Fire-Making Spell, Severing Charm, and the Herbivicus Charm.
* **Nonverbal Magic**: Since from a young age Hope has known to cast nonverbally and became quite proficient at it. She was able to throw someone across the room with a flick of her wrist or a wave of her wand.

## 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 hybrid of all three supernatural species, the full extent and limits of Hope's weaknesses are currently unknown.

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

While searching for a way to kill the tribrid, Josie Mikaelson allegedly saw a weapon powerful enough to kill Hope, though Josie didn't elaborate as to what it was specifically. Similar to that of her biological family, Hope can be daggered and temporarily desiccated by the white oak ash daggers. However, she cannot be daggered for long without resurrecting due to her tribrid nature. This is a feat that even the original vampires were unable to do, as someone else had to remove the dagger for them.

## Relationships

### Hayley Marshall-Kenner

*Main Article: Hayley and Hope*
Hayley is Hope's mother and it is shown various times that Hayley strongly loves her daughter. When she first discovered she was pregnant, she attempted to abort the baby by ingesting wolfsbane, but when she couldn't resolve herself to do it she was attacked and she realized that she wasn't just protecting herself but the baby as well. She then learned that she will have a daughter. As time passed, Hayley grew concerned that because she never had a loving mother in her life, she would not know how to be a good mother to her daughter, but eventually, that faded and she grew to love the child deeply and like Klaus, is dedicated to protecting her at all costs. This is shown when Genevieve and the Harvest girls kidnapped Hope, and tried to kill her. Hayley was there and fought for her daughter, and got her back. She also demonstrated the aptitude to know where her daughter is, even if she is hidden by a spell. Hayley made a promise to herself that her daughter would grow up safe and loved, unlike Hayley had. She kept this promise by choosing to send Hope away with Rebekah to keep her safe from those that would wish her harm in New Orleans. After a few months apart, they were reunited. Hope lived with Hayley for five years wile they searched for a way to cure their family from Marcel's venom. When Hope became a victim of The Hollow, Hayley did everything possible to save her daughter, including dividing The Hollow into the Mikaelson siblings to protect Hope. This separated the Mikaelson family for years, as any physical contact with one another could have infinite consequences. Hayley raised Hope as a strong and independent young woman, enrolling her in the Salvatore Boarding School so she could have friends her own age, something Hope longed for. A teenage Hope desperately wanted to see father again. She faked Hayley's kidnapping to lure Klaus back into New Orleans. Her actions set off a chain of events, including Hayley's body being stolen by vampire purists. Hayley ultimately sacrificed herself to save a kidnapped Hope from the their captor. Hope suffered crippling grief after Hayley's death, and blamed herself. She was temporarily reunited with her mother in Peace, and Hayley soothed her guilt - she's at peace because of Hope. Knowing they wouldn't see one another for a long time, Hayley made Hope promise to to make art, use her voice, have adventures, and at least one totally epic love. She reminded her to be every bit of herself, since the best of Hayley is in Hope.

### Niklaus Mikaelson

*Main Article: Klaus and Hope*
Klaus is Hope's father, and even though he refused the child in *Always and Forever*, he soon accepted her and was determined to not behave as his step-father had, and to raise his child differently. He told Hayley the cycle of pain will end with their baby. After that, he 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 despite the extreme situations, as he's 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, however, their love and adoration for each other never wavers. Hope's childhood love for Klaus was crafted by her mother, who told her stories about Klaus, his loyalty to his family, his love for her, and their shared interests in art. In the precious moments they do share, Hope adores her father and he hopes to show her the world and give her everything she could ever want. They grow closer in her teen years when he re-enters her life, and they become bonded even more. After she takes in the Hollow to save her family and be closer to her father, the power proves too much for Hope and Klaus makes the ultimate sacrifice to save her. He takes the Hollow from her and, after spending precious moments together where she promises to make the Mikaelson name proud and be okay, Klaus gives her a kiss. He and Elijah, who also has part of the Hollow in him, die together to save Hope. Hope suffers from guilt over her father's death, believing it to be her fault even years later, but hopes her father can find peace one day. During his funeral, she chooses to keep her father's ashes so he's always closer to her. She wants to scatter them somewhere meaningful to him.

### Rebekah Mikaelson

*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; she often told Hope stories of her birth and how her parents sent her away to be safe. Rebekah and Hope returned to New Orleans after Esther found them. Rebekah cared deeply for Hope and stayed in her life until the Hollow forces them to separate. She gives Hope a Mikaelson family crest necklace, delivered through Freya, that Hope wore for over seven years. When Hope activated her tribrid nature, she turned off her humanity and fled Mystic Falls. Rebekah tracked her down in an attempt to convince her to come home with her, where the family would help her adjust to her new nature. Hope refused and Rebekah realized her niece's humanity was off. Rebekah daggered Hope but was incapacitated before they can leave. Hope pulled out the dagger and confronted her aunt that night. Hope wanted to be left alone and refused to make her father's mistake of caring about love or family. She gave Rebekah the Mikaelson necklace as it was probably spelled by Freya and the reason Rebekah found her. Rebekah was devastated by her niece cutting her out of her life.

### Elijah Mikaelson

*Main Article: Elijah and Hope*
Elijah is Hope's uncle and has sworn to protect her. He accepted her before everyone else did, even her parents. After Hope's birth, Hayley and Klaus decided to give Hope away to make the city safer for her to grow up in, and while Elijah was against it at first, he later agreed to it. When he saw Hope again (after their separation), in *The Brothers That Care Forgot*, he said to Rebekah that he can't imagine the joy spending every day with her and commented on how big she had gotten. As Rebekah went to change Hope's diaper, she saw that Elijah had killed a dozen people because he thought Hope was in danger. In *Ashes to Ashes*, Elijah gave a promise to Hayley that he will stay with Hope, protect her and help raise her, as Hayley doesn't want Klaus to be the only one Hope knows.
