"*When we're young, we're taught the distinction between a hero and a villain. Good and evil. A savior and a lost cause. But what if the only real difference is who's telling the story? My name is Hope Mikaelson. I come from a long line of the villains in the tales you've heard about vampires, werewolves, witches, and everything in-between.*"

## Birth

She was born January 4th, 2012 at Saint Anne's Catholic Church. Moments after her birth her mother's throat was slit, but due to her blood still in her mother's system her mother was remade as a werewolf-vampire Hybrid. She was later rescued from being sacrificed by the New Orleans Witch coven and was given to her aunt Rebekah to be kept safe.

## Early Life

She was frequently the target of various enemies plots to manipulate her father until he was locked up by Marcellus Gerard.

## 2019

She had been living with her mother and stepfather while they worked to cure her aunts and uncles, so that they could find and rescue her father.

She was reunited with her father on May 27th, 2019, and spent the day with him. She later fell ill to an affliction by the Hollow. She was returned with her family to New Orleans where attempts to cure of the Hollow were made.

Her blood was used to create the Anti-Hollow Knives and she was later possessed by the Hollow who used her blood connection to her mother to link to her.

She was later cured of the Hollow's possession by her family who separated it into themselves. She was then raised by her parents and stepparents.

## 2027

She was a student at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young and Gifted. She is convinced by her younger cousins and her paternal half-sister to sell her blood to Henry Benoit in exchange for the money for her cousins to get passports to go to see their dad in France. She is caught and suspended for a week.

While at home, she comes up with a plan with her younger cousin to get their dads' attention by cloaking their mothers with sleeping spells. This backfires however when their mothers are kidnapped from the secure location they had hidden them in. She is then sent back to school so that her uncle Kol can come aid in the search for Hayley and Dianna.

She becomes interested in Roman Sienna, who later uses this to uncover the truth about her.

She is found by her aunt to be working with Olympia to try to undo the cloaking spells.

She later agrees to the Nightwalker demands that she bind her werewolf side but Niklaus Mikaelson stops the spell before Freya Mikaelsdottir can complete it. She later with her cousin leaves school with Roman, and is cuffed with Anti-Magic cuffs as she is reunited with her mother, uncovering her boyfriend's part in the plot. She is later saved by her mother sacrificing herself to end Greta Sienna.

She gathers up her aunt and uncles' bodies and takes back the power from the Hollow that they had been keeping from her after her mother's funeral. She then begins to suffer side effects from all the power she contains.

She is then reunited with her mother, and returns to school.

## 2028

She has began to fall ill as a result of the Hollow being in her, but celebrates her birthday with her family. She had been throwing her dad and uncle Elijah around to try to release the magic in her, but found that ineffective. She then tortured Roman but the two reconciled and she was unable to kill him but killed the gathered Nightwalker Vampires and released the magic but also ended up triggering her curse by killing a librarian that was upstairs in the attic.

## Strengths and Weaknesses

### As A Witch

She is a first born witch of the Mikaelson blood line, making her a very powerful witch. She used to contain the power of the Hollow as well, making her powerful enough to best about 50 vampires at once with her magic. Now that she no longer contains the power of the Hollow her magic is weaker but still very powerful.

## Physical

She has curly hair like her father, but her hair is auburn instead of dark blonde liker her fathers. She also has her father's blue eyes.

She like her mother has a crescent moon shaped birthmark on her left shoulder, denoting her as a member of the Labonair werewolf bloodline.
