History Characters / FirstKill

* StepfordSmiler: She reveals in 1x03, her family doesn't care for her being in love with a human. Her mother belittles her (and Sebastian) every chance she gets, and her siblings straight-up hate her. She puts on a stoic face for her husband and children, as well as the outside world, but it becomes clear during her conversation with Juliette that she's hiding a ton of pain.

* MercyKillArrangement: He and Apollo agree to this in the event that one of them is turned into a monster.

* ItsAllAboutMe: He's quite arrogant and self-absorbed, as his family points out a couple of times. He simply considers himself confident in his own skills.

* MercyKillArrangement: He and Theo agree to this in the event that one of them is turned into a monster.

->''"This is who we are, Jules. I go out and feed, our parents go out and feed. At some point, you're gonna have to stop feeling guilty for doing what you need to do to survive."''

* LoveAcrossBattlelines: The hunters and the legacies are trying to kill each other. Cal and Juliette are just trying to enjoy each other.

* MakingLoveInAllTheWrongPlaces: They get intimate in a pantry at Noah's party.

* MonsterSlayerRomance: Vampire Juliette and hunter Calliope fall in love with each other.

* QueerRomance: Both are lesbians who become a couple.

* TechnicallyLivingVampire: Because they're born vampires instead of made vampires, they're actually living beings. They grow and experience life just like humans, though they live much longer. As a result, they physically age just as well (albeit at a much slower rate after a certain point), and we see them many of them showing that age after a while, as shown with Margot and Davina, as well as Loretta Davenport.

* TechnicallyLivingVampire: Because they're born vampires instead of made vampires, they're actually living beings.

* VampiresAreSexGods: Even though age tends to show similarly to humans, legacies tend to be quite the lookers. Davina is implied to be over 1,000 and isn't skipping many beats on beauty. Even Juliette is very beautiful, and she almost never goes out of her way to try and appear such.

* LifeDrinker: They feed on the blood of others for sustenance. They only need some of it to survive; they don't have to kill the person.

* LongLived: They can live for an absurdly long time as long as they feed on blood. Henry Davenport mentions having been feeding on humans for about 300 years. It's implied that they can exist for thousands of years, though WordOfGod mentions that 500 years is middle-aged for them.

* VampiresAreSexGods: Legacies tend to be quite the lookers.
* VampiricDraining: They need blood to live.

* ScrewLearningIHavePhlebotinum: As shown in 1x02, legacies are born with innate (but not infallible) combat skills.

* SilverBullet: Just a small, momentary touch of pure silver is enough to burn holes into their skin, but not kill them. It did work once, but it's never explained why it doesn't anymore. It's likely that legacies simply evolved beyond that.

* AssholeVictim: [[spoiler:No tears are shed when Juliette murders him. The kill isn't shown in that terrifying of a light, and even Cal's parents don't show any emotion upon learning he's dead, caring even less for him upon learning why she killed him. Even Juliette herself, who hates violence and views all life as sacred, feels no shame.]]

* WouldHurtAChild: He tries to kidnap Calliope at knifepoint in the hopes of earning a promotion by reporting her as a traitor. He later hits Ben in the stomach with a shovel for no real reason. He also attacks Juliette, but given that she's a vampire, it's technically his job.

* {{Gaslighting}}: She likes to twist people's words around to make them look like she's in the right. Juliette even calls her the Gaslight Queen. [[spoiler:When Oliver interrogates her about the murders she tricked him into committing, she tries to turn them around on him or make them seem like she did him a favor and that he's relying on toxic masculinity to blame her for the murders even though he never would've committed them if it hadn't been for her.]]

* KnightOfCerebus: Brevity tends to take a nosedive whenever he enters the room. His sly demeanor makes him off-putting to others, but it's shown in a more ominous light than the more two-faced light Elinor's is shown in. He even makes his series debut in heavy shadow.

** As mentioned above, [[DidntThinkThisThrough she has a tendency to act before thinking]] (much like [[Theatre/RomeoAndJuliet Juliet]] before her), which can get her into trouble.

* {{Hypocrite}}: They consider all supernatural creatures AlwaysChaoticEvil and proceed to [[ImpaledWithExtremePrejudice treat]] [[VanHelsingHateCrimes them]] [[ColdBloodedTorture in]] [[ForcedToWatch ways]] that most humans would never even consider. They also blame the Fairmont family for all the trouble they find themselves in, not seeming to understand that they're the wones who start almost every situation. Margot even mentions that they were the ones who started the fight that [[spoiler:got them (rather, Tess's parents) killed]].

* {{Profiling}}: At the start of 1x02, she runs from Noah's house before running into police cars heading towards that same house. One cop notices her and immediately turns in her direction, chasing her until she manages to lose him on a trolley train.

* InnocentlyInsensitive: A Noah's party, she boops Ben on the nose. Though Ben takes it as a microaggression, she's clearly drunk and playful, so he takes it in stride.
