## Throughout the Vampire Diaries Series

"I won't lose that baby."
— **Klaus** about his daughter.

In *Always and Forever*, Elijah tells Sophie that he believes this child will be a way for Klaus to finally be happy. Sophie is glad he feels that way, as she blackmails him. If he gets Klaus to co-operate with their demands, since Marcel Gerard already drove the werewolves from the French Quarter, nobody will have to know of the existence of a hybrid baby. In a later phone conversation with Rebekah Mikaelson, Elijah swears he will not let anything happen to the baby.

In *House of the Rising Son*, when Rebekah arrives in New Orleans looking for Elijah, she meets Hayley and was happy to see Alexandrya, commenting her "supernatural, miracle baby bump" isn't showing. After a short conversation with Niklaus about the whereabouts of their elder brother, Rebekah takes Alexandrya and Hayley to the basement of their house, showing her the coffins, before warning her to get out of New Orleans while she can, because once the baby is born, Niklaus will be "planning a coffin for her." Hayley comments that the witches cast a spell; if Alexandrya leaves New Orleans, she and the baby will die. Rebekah's words clearly affecting her, Alexandrya heads to Jardin Gris, inquiring wolfsbane in an attempt to abort the baby. She sits on a bench at night, pouring the poison into a cup of tea, urging herself to drink it. She is about to drink when she hears rustling behind her. Vampires appear in front of her, saying wolves aren't welcome. Alexandrya, fed up of being told what to do by vampires, tosses the cup at him and attempts to flee. Rebekah suddenly shows up, ripping the heart out of one of the vampire's, and snapping the neck of the other, saving Alexandrya's life. After Klaus hears of Alexandrya leaving the house, he berates her and demands to know what she was doing. In a rage, Alexandrya growls that she wanted to put the baby out of it's misery, a comment which Klaus begins to choke her over, showing he clearly cares for the baby. The day after, Klaus slowly walks into Alexandrya's room whilst she is supposedly sleeping. He notices the bottle of wolfsbane and sniffs the top. Alexandrya then tells him that she didn't use it, Klaus asks her why, as she could have been free from "all of this." Alexandrya says that when she was being attacked, she wasn't just protecting herself, she was protecting her child and she didn't want to let anyone hurt it.

In *Tangled Up In Blue*, Alexandrya is walking by the pool at night, and she suddenly looks up to see herself face to face with a wolf. Sabine Laurent suddenly appears and tells her that the wolf is drawn to her because of the baby, before telling her that she knows some charms that can reveal the baby's gender, admitting that it is not magic that she will be using. Later on, Alexandrya is lying on a kitchen table with Sabine dangling a pendant over her stomach. She tells her that she thinks it is a girl, this excites Alexandrya. Alexandrya suddenly becomes serious and says "don't tell me I'm having a mini-Klaus" before Sabine drops the pendant and gasps, repeating the same sentence leaving Alexandrya confused at her words. Sometime later, Klaus walks into the room whilst Alexandrya is seated on her laptop, and she reveals that she thinks their child is a girl; unseen to her, Klaus smiles at the news. As he leaves, Alexandrya is seen typing the sentence Sabine repeated onto her laptop.

In *Girl in New Orleans*, Agnes persuades Alexandrya to go to a doctor out in The Bayou who agrees after a notice of Rebekah who told her that she must care most about her child. The doctor tells Alexandrya that her child is healthy and Alexandrya reports that she knew it and that her daughter is a tough one, just like her. Then a wolf howls and Alexandrya understands that she falls into an ambush led by Agnes. However, she kills her doctor and manages to escape to the warlocks and fight them off until Rebekah eventually comes to save her. However, they are both then shot, and Alexandrya goes missing. When Alexandrya shows up later, she has forgotten what has happened but believes that a wolf is looking after her, and has killed the witches after her to protect her. Her wounds have also all healed and is revealed that her baby has healed her due to its vampire healing blood, inherited from both her parents.

In *Sinners and Saints*, Alexandrya questions Sophie about the fact that her child will be the witches' end.

In *Fruit of the Poisoned Tree*, while Alexandrya speaks to Elijah after what happened to her and the baby during his absence and that they decide to find a way to unlike her to Sophie, Agnes enacts a plan to kill the child, by using the link between Sophie and Alexandrya. She uses a cursed object, The Needle of Sorrows, to cause Alexandrya's temperature to spike rapidly to cause a miscarriage. While Klaus goes to find Agnes, Sophie works with Elijah and Rebekah to lower Alexandrya's temperature and heart rate, until Davina, through Elijah's machinations, could unwittingly severe the link between Sophie and Alexandrya, saving the baby's life. Later Elijah kills Agnes for trying to kill his niece.

## Personality

"*I'm not scared. I'm a Mikaelson witch.*"
—Hope in *High Water and a Devil's Daughter*
Even when she was a baby, Hope was said to be a fighter. It was said by both of her parents; Alexandrya in *Girl in New Orleans*, where she said to her doctor that her daughter was a tough one just like herself, and by Klaus when he said that both Alexandrya and Hope were fighters in *A Closer Walk With Thee*. Both times it is implied that Hope inherited this trait from her mother who got it herself from her own father, Hope's maternal grandfather. She also seemed to be a very calm and happy baby. In *Ashes to Ashes*, Freya says that, like her paternal family, she is resilient. She is also seemingly very intelligent as she was able to use her magic to turn Iriss car on and off, despite still 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 Uncle Basil that she was rather lonely, never having any other kids her own age to play with. As a teenager, Hope is shown to be stubborn and brave as she was willing to put herself through extreme pain and possible death to get her mother back. Both Basil and Rebekah describe Hope as being smart, possibly too smart for her own good, like her mother. It has been shown that Hope has gained one of her father's traits of doing whatever she can to protect her family. Hope is always offering to help to save those she cares about and considers family, including Marcel. However, once Hope magically absorbs the Hollow's soul, it nearly drives her insane because she constantly starts to hear whispers of voices in her head. The only way she can end the madness going on inside her head 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 (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. Hope struggles to forge meaningful connections with other people and make friends with the other students at the Salvatore School, not only because of her one-of-a-kind supernatural classification but also because she's already endured a lifetime of grief and heartbreak. To her peers, she seems closed off. She is forgiving to MG when she thought he killed her boyfriend Landon. 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 romantic relationship. She is slowly becoming more optimistic that she will be happy.
