**Miarni “Mia” Taylor Fox-Mikaelson** was a major recurring main character in seasons four and five of the CW spin-off show *The Originals* and was a semi main character in season eight of the CW TV series *The Vampire Diaries*. She is also the main character alongside Hope Mikaelson in the CW spin-off show *Legacies*.

Mia Fox is one of the identical twin daughters of Scarlett Fox and Derek Hale, the other being Skyla Fox. She was carried via surrogacy by Jayne Griffin. She is the niece of Davina Claire and the granddaughter of Peter Hale, Isobel O’Connell and Talia Hale. She has three adoptive sisters, Lizzie and Josie Saltzman and Hope Mikaelson and then one adoptive brother, Carl Gallagher all via her mother. She also has one half-brother named Levi Boyd and one half-sister named Octavia Blake. Mia also has a daughter named Madi with Witch, John Murphy. Because of his marriage to Scarlett, Jackson Kenner was her step-father for almost a year. He died at the hands of Tristan De Martel. Damon Salvatore was also her step-father for nearly four years until him and Scarlett ended things. From when she was three, onwards Alaric Saltzman became her legal guardian and adoptive father, although Mia never called him *father* but *Uncle Ricky*. Mia was adopted by Kaleb Westphall in New Orleans days after she was born but was given back to Scarlett after his death. Her existence was revealed in an episode in *Teen Wolf* by Kate Argent. However, when Derek dies, Scarlett is unable to hold herself together so she insists Bonnie Bennett to do a transfer spell to place the twins in another woman's womb.

We don’t see Mia again until season two of *The Originals* as a three year old.

Mia inherited her werewolf gene from both her parents, while her witch legacy came from her mother. Through her parents Hale lineage, Mia is werewolf royalty. Mia is a Merceda Hybrid, as she is apart of the Merceda Bloodline.

Mia is a member of the **Hale Family**, the **Adora Family**, the **Fox Family**, the **Argent Family**, the **Griffin Family**, the **Lahey Family**, the **Saltzman Family**, as Alaric was her adoptive father. The **Kenner Family**, the **Salvatore Family**, both through her mother’s marriages and the **Mikaelson Family** via Klaus, her adoptive father. Mia is by birthright a member of the **Crescent Wolf Pack** and the **Hale Pack**, as well as a tribe of **Native American witches** and one of the children fathered by the Original Hybrid, Niklaus Mikaelson and the purified Enhanced Original Vampire, Alaric Saltzman and mothered by the Merceda Hybrid, Scarlett Fox.

In *Gonna Set Your Flag On Fire* and *Brotherhood Of The Damned*, Mia is under protection by Marcel as Kaleb and him go way back and trusts Marcel 100 per cent with Mia. Marcel was basically an uncle to her as Kaleb would say. Mia is seen a few times throughout these episodes, with Marcel mostly but also with Scarlett to get to know her more.

In *Sanctuary*, Mia is told that Kaleb is sick and needs his rest but Mia refuses not to see him and starts to cry. Scarlett takes Mia to Kaleb and she walks up to him and warmly hugs him, he smiles apologetically as he knows he won’t live to be with her for much longer. A tear rolls down Kalebs cheek causing Mia to wipe it away with a slight grin while saying, “you’ll be okay dadda leby.”

In *I Love You, Goodbye*, Mia attends Scarlett and Jackson’s wedding as a flower girl, she is then taken away back to Marcel’s apartment as Kaleb was nearly about to die and he didn’t want his daughter to see him and to tell her that he loves her and that mummy will look after her. Marcel nods and takes Mia away.

In *They All Asked For You*, Mia is told that Kaleb is gone. Confused, she looks at her mother and Klaus asking what they mean. Klaus replies to the girl with, “he loved you but he needed to leave but it’s okay because mummy will look after you.” Mia nods but frowns, she asks when he’ll be back and Klaus and Scarlett look at each other and say, “not for a while.” Mia is visibly upset but doesn’t ask anymore questions.

In *The Keepers Of The House*, Mia arrives at the compound where she sees Scarlett and Klaus talking.

She asks where Alaric was and her sisters, Mia replied with she caught a train by herself because she didn’t want to live with Ric anymore. Confused, Scarlett asks her daughter why she wants to be here and Mia says, because Ric said I was a lot like Klaus Mikaelson and I wanted to see if that was true. Klaus looks down at the girl and grins slightly and says, I don’t think you are love. Mia shrugs as Scarlett picks her up while dialing Alaric’s phone number to confront him about the situation.

In *Voodoo In My Blood*, Alaric arrives in New Orleans with Skyla, Lizzie and Josie alongside him to bring Mia home. Scarlett tells Alaric that the girls shouldn’t be here as the Hollow will find Skyla and will try and get her and that Mia can’t go back to Beacon Hills as the Hollow will follow her there, hurting Ric and the girls. Mia also refuses to leave with Alaric anyway. Before Alaric, Skyla, Lizzie and Josie leave, Klaus comes over to Mia alongside all her sisters and hands them all a silver ring shaped as a princess crown that helps control their magic, Klaus and Scarlett also wear them that are shaped as a king and queen crown.

In *Queen Death*, Mia sees Elijah's spirit in Freya’s pendent as she touches Freya's shoulder, both of whom sense that his mind has shattered.

In *Phantomesque*, Mia and Hope go after Scarlett into the pendent, though warned not to open any doors. The two girls are able to successfully call out to their mom. After Scarlett finds her way out of Elijah's memory, the two leave the pendent on their own accord. Later on, Scarlett goes up to Rebekah and asks where Mia is, Rebekah says she doesn’t know. Scared for her daughter's safety, Scarlett races around the compound trying to find her. Failing to find her, she leaves for Marcel’s apartment and as she does she spots Mia on the roof. Mia is standing on the edge, looking over. Scarlett grabs her and yells at her, wondering what the heck she was doing. Scarlett looks at what Mia was staring at and is shocked. Mia tells her mother that she thinks she killed those people and Scarlett shakes her head, telling her that she’s not capable of doing that. Mia is mentioned while Scarlett is on the phone to Alaric, telling him that she killed 49 people with her magic and that the Hollow was controlling her. Before Mia went to bed, she started to turn into a werewolf. Scarlett yanked her ring off of her daughters finger and placed a spell throughout the ring that would stop Mia from turning while wearing the ring. Klaus calms Mia and tells her it’s all going to be okay, it’s visible that Mia is in pain as she yells “It hurts so much mommy!”. The ring is placed back onto her finger and she lays there, flustered and still panicked. Klaus and Scarlett stare at each other, terrified. Mia falls asleep gripping onto her mother.

In *A Spirit Here That Won’t Be Broken*, Mia is taught the Spell of Unknotting by Kol so that Davina could be unlinked from the Hollow. After much concentration, she manages the spell, though she is overwhelmed and falls unconscious. When she wakes, the Hollow comes to her and is possessed.

In *The Feast Of All Sinners*, the Hollow continues to use Mia as her vessel, though she is placed under a second sleeping spell by Marcel. Vincent later extracts the Hollow's spirit out of Mia, placing it into Hope. Josh appears and takes Mia inside whilst still unconscious. Vincent then extracts the Hollow’s spirit out of Hope dividing the four pieces into Klaus, Elijah, Rebekah and Kol. Unable to stay, they leave Hope with Scarlett and Freya. Klaus lingers to make sure she's okay and to tell her that he loves her and to tell Mia he loves her as well. Unaware of what was happening, Hope calls out to her dad as he speeds away. Mia lays on her mother’s bed and begins to awaken.

Later, Scarlett takes Mia and her sisters to Beacon Hills and are seen touring the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young & Gifted. Scarlett watches fondly as her daughters are seen conversing with the other children.

In *Where You Left Your Heart*, Mia gives a boy, Henry Benoit, two vials of blood and tells him to be discreet about dying so he can turn into a hybrid. After he jumps out of the window, Mia is told by Dorian that Alaric wants to see her and to pack her things up as she's being suspended. As she’s sitting outside Alaric’s office, Hope joins her as she got suspended as well, she tells Mia trouble must be a Mikealson thing and is soon interrupted as Hope sees Roman and gets a little nervous. After composing herself and acting cool, she tells him that she got suspended, which he tells her that's cool. Mia rolls her eyes at Hope and calls her a ‘Dick Magnet’, Hope explains that Mia is one more than anyone, she just chooses to be an ‘Unwanted Dick Magnet’. They laugh. Henry then shows up and Mia tells him that falling out a window isn't discreet. Mia and Hope are then picked up by Scarlett and is told that they’re actions can come with consequences, Hope is just petty drama but Mia could seriously get herself in unwanted trouble. They then talk in a room and Scarlett finds out she has been selling her blood to get a passport, so Hope and herself can find their father, who as she calls him a "deadbeat dad". Hope tells Mia the idea she is given by Kol. When the vampires arrive to get retribution for Poppy's death by killing Henry, she tells him to calm down and she explains to him that he's sired to her. When Freya returns from trying to find Scarlett, she shows Mia her mother's phone and that she has disappeared. Not long after, a call from Klaus comes and Freya hands the phone to her. Mia says hi to him and he tells her he's coming to New Orleans.

In *One Wrong Turn On Bourbon*, Mia goes to Rousseau's and sees that Declan is being attacked by Klaus, and stops him using magic. They also argue at the compound while she uses magic to keep him from leaving. Hope appears and begins to argue with him too, not too long after, Hope tells him to just go since he can't be around her. She also talks to Henry as he's been locked up in the Garden and tells him to be calm. At the compound, she and Klaus talk as it's revealed that her mother has truly gone missing when she is not at the place Hope put her in with a cloaking spell. Mia was close to furious at Hope but believed she had no time for her preposterous anger. Klaus then goes to inform Hope, leaving Mia angered and scared before zipping of to Beacon Hills as ordered by her father. As she’s about to leave with Roman and Hope, they hear a scream and run to where they hear it. They see that Henry has his heart extracted and his body hanging from a balcony.

## Personality

As a young child, Mia is also explained to be a fighter, just like her mother. Mia has already been through a lot so she is seen to be sad sometimes, more than her sisters. Mia is also very brave as she has done many dangerous things over the years that has saved her family and the people she cares about. Mia was pretty selfless but only to the people that she thought were good.

As a tween, Mia changed quite a bit as she became more stubborn and selfish. She was explained by Alaric to be a lot like Klaus Mikaelson. But, Mia is also seen to be sweet and caring towards the people that she loves. Mia triggered her werewolf curse by killing 49 unknown humans under the Hollow’s possession so she started to become more violent and was involved in more fights. A lot of the time, Mia is seen upset for different reasons and not long after she triggered her curse, her eyes turned from bright yellow to blue from misery.

As a teenager, Mia is very sarcastic and sassy. Mia also suffers from major trust issues and only trusts the people close to her. Although being selfish, she still always puts her family first - her mother, the Mikaelsons, Davina, her sisters, Marcel and Alaric -. It is implied that she enjoys violence and is very alike to Klaus. Her dark side is shown a lot more as a teenager and so is all her emotions, definitely happy and sad. Mia is also kind to people she thinks deserve her kindness.

## Physical Appearance

As a young child, Mia has dark olive skin with bright aqua eyes. She has long brown hair that is explained to be frizzy and curly. Mia normally wears floral dresses with a denim jacket over and her hair in a messy bun or down.

As a tween, Mia has a lighter olive complexion and her eyes have gone more blue then green. Her hair is no longer as frizzy and has slight waves throughout. When she’s not in school she continues to wear her denim or leather jacket with a dark coloured shirt and black leggings or jeans. She occasionally wears black dresses. At school she obviously wears the Salvatore Boarding School uniform. Her hair is seen in braids, ponytails and down.

As a teenager, Mia’s complexion stays the same, along with her eyes. Her hair is now straight (unknown if straightens or not) and is a bit lighter brown. She is quite tall for her age, standing around 5’9”. Her hair is sometimes worn straight but mostly up in a messy bun or down and curled. Mia still wears denim or leather jackets with a variety of different tops and black or blue ripped jeans. Sometimes she wears dresses but mostly at formal occasions and events.

As an adult, Mia’s complexion stays the same, along with her eyes. Her hair is seen straight, curly, up in buns or ponytails or down and is a dark brown. Her height also is still around 5’8”- 5’9”. Mia’s sense of style and fashion has changed a bit, as she wears more “grown up” type of clothing, except her signature black leather jacket that appears several times throughout her outfits.

Mia also has a small freckle above her lip on the right side.

As a Hale, she has the Crescent birthmark on her right shoulder, just like her parents and the Labonair and Kenner families.

## Powers and Abilities

Mia possess all the standard powers and abilities of a twin merceda hybrid. However, unlike her twin sister Mia is exceptionally well at mind controlling people, even people as powerful as the upgraded original vampire, Marcel Gerard. She also has a tendency to seduce others without even trying at all. Mia is the first of her kind to attempt to cast realistic illusions on individual people, in which she conquered this skill.

## Weaknesses

Mia has the typical weaknesses of a twin merceda hybrid, along with other weaknesses that are specific to Mia herself;

* **Grief and Loss:** Mia suffers from the loss of many loved ones throughout the multiple series. Firstly, she loses her adoptive father, even though being very young and not having a full understanding about his death, it was visible that she was upset. After this event and learning about her biological fathers death and many more losses, the feeling of never being happy again never stopped. Mia becomes bitter and jealous of her sister, as she is always happy and receiving love and affection. This is how she forms a strong bond with Klaus as the both have the feeling of betrayal from/by their family members.
* **Trust Issues:** Trust is something that definitely needs to be earned in Mia’s mind. After being lied to many times throughout her childhood and letting untrustworthy people in, Mia became very distant towards others. Like Klaus, she is afraid to let people into her life that are not family. Making friends and allies in this case is extremely difficult which is why her mind compulsion comes in handy, using it on everyone and anyone who disobeys her. This trait and issue is something her mother believes she’ll live with for the rest of her life. As much as her mother doesn’t want that, she believes it is reality and the people around her will have to deal with it.
* **Attention Deficit-Hyperactivity Disorder:** Mia was diagnosed with ADHD in her early teenage years. Alaric informed her now adoptive father that it was an actual diagnosis that Mia had. This didn’t seem to bother Mia at all although her family did seem concerned about it for awhile but after time it never crossed their mind, except Klaus’ (which is an example of Mia’s first weakness). Her lack of restraint, short attention span and mood swings are all symptoms that are shown throughout the shows, and also major symptoms of ADHD, proving that Mia visibly has the disorder.
* **Antisocial Personality Disorder:** This is another disorder that Mia was diagnosed with after Alaric took it to attention. This diagnosis was more focused on throughout her family as it involves more physical concerns than mental (meaning they were afraid of her harming someone more than her mental problems). Klaus seemed to ignore her ASPD as he as well has the disorder, but in a more extreme manner. Although, Alaric grew concerned and attempted to help Mia but in order to help he had to become closer to her and earn her trust, which he failed to do and was unable to help or support her. The most visible symtom that Mia portrayed was the tendency to act impulsively and lack regard for her own safety and the safety of others.

## Relationships

### Niklaus Mikaelson

*Main Article:* *Klaus and Mia*

> "*Just be happy my littlest hybrid. That’s all I ever wanted, was for you to be happy.*"
> ― Klaus to **Mia**
>
>

    Klaus was classified as Mia’s adoptive father. Although, when they first met Mia feared him but Klaus already cared about her vividly and after time, Mia cared about Klaus too. The two shared a bond like no other, Klaus loved her so much and it was shown multiple times how much he cared for the girl. All Klaus ever wanted was for Mia to be happy, as she is sad a lot of the time. He wanted to protect her at all costs, and hoped to be in her life always and forever. He never gave up on proving his worth to her. He was also dedicated to being a better father to her than Alaric was. His love for the girl brought out the best in Klaus, which was seen whenever they were together. Even though he knew Mia could control her power he still remained paranoid as he worried about her safety. When Mia got older their bond grew stronger. Being separated for eight years, Klaus convinced himself that she wouldn’t care for him no longer and see him as a monster but he was wrong. Mia and Klaus were very alike which is why they got along so well, been classified as the ‘bad sibling’ and the ‘monster’. They agreed to stay as one until death do them apart, which was promised as Klaus stayed with Mia until his death. His death effected Mia a lot but even though he was no longer alive he promised to always be with her, with her when she graduates, when she gets her first car, first home, beginning her own family and definitely will be there judging the man she ends up with, making sure that he’s worthy enough for her.

### Scarlett Fox

*Main Article: Scarlett and Mia*

> "*But when I saw you for the first time, you had a massive smile on your face and I believed it would never leave, and when it did it broke me. Your happiness means everything to me Mia.*"
> ― Scarlett to **Mia**
>

Scarlett was Mia’s mother and it was shown various times how much she cared and loved for her daughter. Even though the love and care was shown uncontrollably, Scarlett still feared that she was a terrible mother to her daughters as she believed she was never there for them, Alaric then confirmed that Scarlett was there whenever they needed her and that she should never think that she’s a terrible mother to the girls. Scarlett grew concerned that because she never had a loving caring mother when she was young as she was fostered days after she was born, she would not know how to be a good mother to her daughter and worried that she would never be able to protect her as she failed to protect her son that died at a young age. Like Klaus, Scarlett was dedicated to protect her daughter at all costs and made a promise to her that no one will ever try and harm her little girl. She also demonstrated the aptitude to know where her daughter was, even if she was hidden by a spell. Scarlett made another promise to Mia that she will grow up safe and loved, she kept that promise by keeping her with Alaric in Dallas while she fought off enemies in New Orleans. Mia lived in New Orleans with Kaleb before he died and then grew up mostly as a child in the Dallas home with Alaric, Lizzie, Josie, Skyla, mostly Hope and sometimes Scarlett. Mia moved back to New Orleans to live with Scarlett and the Mikaelsons in The Abattoir and lived there until the death of her mother, her adoptive father and adoptive uncle. Now, she lives in The Salvatore Boarding School with Alaric and her sisters.

### Kaleb Westphall

> "*Tell her I love her and that I’m sorry.*"
> ― Kaleb to Marcel about **Mia**

Kaleb (biologically, Isaac) was Mia’s adoptive father until his death. He explained to Scarlett that he adopted Mia and changed his name because he had so much love to give but also just wanted to start a new life. Kaleb was so dedicated to protect and love Mia that it sometimes scared him. Starting a new life in New Orleans, unaware of the many supernatural beings that roamed the city, he believed that Mia would always be safe there. But, after Kol Mikaelson took possession of his body for a short period time, Mia became a target as she was now becoming apart of the Mikaelson family’s life. Marcel swore to protect her from anyone or anything so Kaleb could rest in peace, knowing that his beautiful girl was in good hands. Even though only being very young when Kaleb died, Marcel kept the memory of Kaleb alive in Mia’s mind so she knew in the end that he was the one who really saved her. Although being continuously reminded about how much Kaleb loved her, the memory of him slowly slipped away as she grew.

Marcel is (at the beginning) Mia’s informal guardian and is assigned to protect Mia while Kaleb is gone. Marcel and Mia’s relationship begins when her adoptive father moves in with Marcel, causing the two to bond and begin a strong father-daughter relationship. He swore to protect her from anyone or anything so Kaleb could rest in peace, knowing that his beautiful girl was in good hands. Even though only being very young when Kaleb died, Marcel kept the memory of him alive in Mia’s mind, which was one of the reasons why Mia still cared for Marcel after imprisoning Klaus. After Klaus becomes Mia’s adoptive father, Marcel is her adoptive brother as Marcel is Klaus’ adoptive son. Seven years after the Hollow incident and after Klaus’ absence from both their lives, Mia and Marcel continued to remain on good terms. They still consider each other friends and allies.

### Skyla Fox

*Main Article: Skyla and Mia*

> "*Don’t ever apologise for being you.*"
> ― **Skyla** to ****Mia****
>

Skyla is Mia’s identical twin sister and polar opposite. Although being separated at birth, the two bonded very quickly when they met again as toddlers. Without Skyla by Mia’s side, she would be unable to see reason whenever she goes off the rails. Throughout Mia’s childhood she has been compared to Skyla, people always telling her to be more like her sister. Without others knowing it, this made Mia extremely upset and caused her to make very bad decisions. Being classified as the “bad sister”, Mia kept having breakdowns, got around and hurt others. By doing these things Mia continued to keep that title for herself. Skyla continuously tried to help Mia get back on track but nothing seemed to help. As the two grew older, Mia started to listen to her sister and realised that she was right. Even though still keeping her so-called title as the “bad sister”, Skyla taught her that its okay to care and that she’s capable of being good. Although a lot of the time they are led apart and disagree, they still seem to retain their closeness as siblings. And in spite of all their conflict, they always seem to reconcile in the end. They love each other and are always willing to risk their lives to save one another. They have a quite complicated bond but it is a bond that no one can ever break.

### Alaric Saltzman

> "***Alaric:** Thats what you don’t get Mia. I trust you. I’ve always trusted you. I’m just scared for you. **Mia:** Don’t be.*"
>
>

Alaric is Mia’s legal guardian but was her adoptive father for a few years before Mia moved to New Orleans. Alaric and Mia’s relationship is very complicated as it seems to be very off and on. For example the two would be having a heart to heart conversation and really connect with each other. Then, the next day they would be close to killing each other and disagreeing on everything. Throughout the time when Alaric was raising Mia he never really understood her, leaving her in the dark a lot without much attention. Many people believe that this is the reason why Mia is the way she is because of not receiving much love from Ric. As she grew, their relationship got even more difficult as Mia began to speak up for herself more, telling Alaric that he was an awful father. This caused Ric to include himself more in her life, even though Mia didn’t want him to. He started to care more about her, even discovering that she had ADHD and ASPD. With knowing this, he began to understand her a lot more, figuring out that this is the why she is this way. Alaric attempted to help Mia many times but she refused to let him in her life once again as the last time she did, he messed her up. Now, the relationship between the two is still quite complicated but has started to warm up to each other a lot more, with Alaric becoming more understanding of Mia and Mia letting Alaric into her life more, they seem to connect as family and seem to be there for each other. As long as Ric stays on her good side, they will most likely stay on good terms.

### Lizzie Saltzman

*Main Article: Mia and Lizzie*

> "*Lizzie Saltzman is Mia’s Partner-In-Crime. If you ever touch one, you will always have to go through the other first.*"
> ― **Kaleb** to **Landon**
>

Lizzie is Mia’s adoptive sister and known partner-in-crime. The two girls share a very strong bond as they are very alike. Both Mia and Lizzie are very complicated people, seeming to only share their violent thoughts and tendencies to each other. Many believe that leaving them in the same room together is very dangerous as they are always planning something vulgar. The two sisters are both classified as the “bad ones” compared to their twins, with being so alike Mia and Lizzie have always spent time together, bonding extremely quickly when they met as toddlers. Until Mia gives birth to her first born, both girls enjoyed upsetting certain people that have upset them. But, after Madi - Mia’s daughter - was born, Mia seemed to calm down with the violence, only hurting people who hurt her baby. This angered Lizzie as Mia always has been her other half and partner in everything. Even though knowing it effects Lizzie, Mia stays committed to her child, throwing all her attention to her and slim to none to Lizzie and her many “episodes”. Now, Lizzie has somewhat understood why all Mia’s attention and time is towards Madi and not her or anyone else in that matter. And, with basically no plans between the two girls to cause any problems, Lizzie has began to show care towards others including her new niece.

### John Murphy

*Main Article: Mia and Murphy*

> "*The thing is, I never stopped loving you.*"
> ― **Murphy** to ****Mia****

    Murphy is Mia’s father of her child and complicated on and off boyfriend. Before the two met Murphy was already so captivated by her, always hoping to be with her one day. Obviously his goal was reached as throughout the two year time jump Mia fell pregnant with his child. It is known that throughout this time jump the two dated and supposedly fell in love. But, when Mia became pregnant the two drifted apart as Murphy went to join the military with Mia’s adoptive brother, Carl. Murphy later admitted that he was scared to become a father and decided to run instead of face his fears, also saying that it will always be one of his biggest regrets. Throughout Mia’s whole pregnancy, Murphy was not there, leaving every decision up to Mia. Mia agreed to give him another chance with proving his worth of being a good father but failed with that too with not showing up for his daughters birth. Murphy’s excuse was that he was “caught up”, this understandably made Mia mad and now still holds a strong grudge towards him. Mia allowed Murphy to meet Madi - their daughter - but only for the babys benefit as she still doesn’t want Madi to grow up without a father. Now, Murphy is scrambling through ideas attempting to win Mia back and to become the father he keeps fearing to become. If this attitude that Murphy is portraying continues, their could be a chance that the two may end up being together.

* **Mia** is a name, originating as a hypocoristic of various unrelated names. It is usually derived from the name Maria and its variants (Miriam, Maryam, Mary), but it is reportedly also used as a hypocoristic of names such as Amalia, Amelia, Emilia, Emily or Maya.

* **Hale** (Mia’s biological surname) is English and sometimes Scottish habitional and derives from residence at a remote valley (halh) or by a salt water estuary (heil).
