[[caption-width-right:350:''I intend to fight for always and forever, even if it destroys me.'']]
->Played by: Creator/DanielleRoseRussell

----

The daughter of the Original Hybrid Klaus Mikaelson, and werewolf Hayley Marshall, Hope is descended from some of the most powerful witch, vampire and werewolf bloodlines, known at the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted as the ''Tri''brid.

----
* ActionGirl: Hope is always involved with the action whether it's going head to head with supernatural villains or monsters threatening the school or coming to the aid of lost, new students for the school.
* TheAloner: After Klaus and Hayley's deaths, she has become a recluse at the Salvatore School, not making any effort to befriend others or connect with her peers. Hope contributes this to the fact that people close to her end up getting hurt. Over Season 1, she starts to grow out of this befriending Landon, Josie and Rafael.
* {{Animorphism}}: Unlike most werewolves, she has a wolf form that she can shift into whenever she chooses, without being tied to the full moon, due to being part of the Crescent werewolf pack.
* BerserkButton:
** Never deceive her and break her trust, she will come after you with a vengeance. Landon found this out hard after he faked being compelled by MG to forget what he'd seen at the school and fled from them just after she opened up to him about her disastrous past.
** Most likely as a result as her first love interest being a vampire, Roman, who helped abduct her and Hayley which lead to her mom's death.
* BoobsOfSteel: Hope is both physically the strongest of the heroes as well as being a very well endowed young woman.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: During The Originals season 5, when she takes impulsive actions trying to reunite with her father [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou who is forced to keep his distance from her to prevent the Hollow's spirit from ever coming after her again]]. Not so much anymore.
* DaddysGirl: Formerly. Her father adored her and she loved him dearly, despite the awful things he's done, and is shown to still be mourning him.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was possessed by the sinister Dark spirit known as the Hollow when she was a little girl (see DoomMagnet for further details). And that's before both of her parents, Klaus and Hayley, having given their lives to save hers, to her massive grief and (in the case of Hayley) guilt.
* DeadpanSnarker: Hope is liberal with her sarcasm and witty remarks in general.
* DoomMagnet: Having had multiple attempts on her life and having been attemtedly sacrificed by radical, over-zealous New Orleans witches even when her mother was still carrying her, targeted by her paternal grandmother Esther and her power sought after by her great aunt Dahlia, having been possessed by the Dark spirit, the Hollow when she was seven. Hope even considers herself a cosmic mistake aware of the circumstances concerning her existence. The repetitive losses and grief she's experienced, as well as her Mikaelson family's history are supposedly why she keeps people at arm's length.
* EmoTeen: Hope is known for harboring feelings of contempt so intense after she feels betrayed she contemplates killing someone (i.e. Landon) and having emotional breakdowns given her lot in life, including her Mikaelson family's dysfunctional, tragic and violent past. She compares herself to Lizzie over it, acknowledging probably in the first time ever in any of the series, that this might be a matter of mental health.
-->'''Hope''': "With a father and a grandfather like mine, I'm probably not immune to those issues myself."
* FieryRedhead: Has the red/auburn-hair and a fiery personality being headstrong and independent, fiercely protective and can become very HotBlooded when she''s in a mood
* HealingFactor: As the daughter of a vampire-werewolf hybrid, Hope has vampire blood produced and running through her body, allowing her to heal herself when she's injured.
* TheHero:
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: In the Season 1 finale, Hope allows herself to be absorbed by Malivore ([[LaserGuidedAmnesia erasing her from the world's collective memory]]), to stop it from fully regaining its humanoid form.]]
* HotWitch: Hope is a physically attractive young woman and a powerful, skilled witch.
* HybridPower: Specifically, she is the first and only Tri-brid, a hybrid of all three primarily known supernatural species (vampire, werewolf, and witch).
* IceQueen
* LikeParentUnlikeChild: There is an undeniable irony in Klaus being the established villain of the story and Hope being the heroine every time something bad happens.
* LoveInterest: Hope is this for Landon Kirby. They enter a relationship in episode 8.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: 5’3” and badass. Can easily handle creatures much bigger than her.
* PowerIncontinence: As a first born witch of her generation of the Mikaelson family line, Hope possesses immense magical power as a witch, like her Aunt Freya and her great-aunt Dahlia.
* ThePowerOfBlood: Like her father Klaus', Hope's blood can be used to turn a werewolf into a vampire-werewolf hybrid or cure a vampire from a werewolf's bite.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Apparently. After Hope, Landon, and Alaric find Landon's biological mother, Seylah whom allows herself to be [[LaserGuidedAmnesia erased from the world's memory by diving into the dimension Malivore]] in order to protect Landon, it is later revealed that Hope somehow retained her memories of Landon's mother even after everyone else's memories of her were erased.
* SheCleansUpNicely: In Season 1 episode, "Let's Just Finish the Dance" during the Miss Mystic Falls pageant.
* SheWhoFightsMonsters
* SugarAndIcePersonality
* WhenSheSmiles: Hope rarely lets her guard down, but when she does her smile is genuinely a sight to see.
* WonderChild: Hope was fathered by the original vampire-werewolf hybrid, Klaus Mikaelson, despite his undead nature. As the first and only hybrid of vampire-werewolf-witch, Hope's existence is a loophole and a pure miracle.

!!Landon Kirby
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/landon_2.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''Growing up in the foster system, every time I got sent someplace new, I'd hope that this would be the right place. You know, like, uh, "click your heels three times," "no place like home" kind of stuff. Just somewhere I actually belonged. But it never was. You know, and you can only hold out hope for so long, and be hurt by so many people, before it starts to seems impossible to trust someone new.'']]
->Played by: Aria Shahghasemi

A charming, intelligent but bullied youth having grown up in the foster system, Landon has a mysterious past, even to himself and is an old acquaintance of Hope.
----
* ActionGirlfriend: Hope, who kicks ass on the regular.
* ActionSurvivor: Despite being supernatural, Landon ''zero'' offensive abilities for powers including speed or strength, thus is often forced to run, rely on his friends to fight, or use his wits. The good news is that as a Phoenix, he has ResurrectiveImmortality so even if he dies he'll come back. Although since its unknown how many times he can do it, he often errs on the side of caution.
* ButtMonkey: Landon is practically Born Unlucky with the crap he goes through in the course of the series starting with growing up in the foster care system. After spending a lifetime wanting to be special, he learns that his "father" is a HumanoidAbomination that created him to create a supernatural bloodline of his own.
** He has a beautiful girlfriend in [[ActionGirl Hope Mikaelson]] but is constantly remind that as the Tri-brid she's The Hero and more powerful than him by a large margin. He spends most of the first season not knowing what supernatural he is and then after learning he's a "phoenix" its constantly pointed out his only real known power is ResurrectiveImmortality. Then when he finally starts to figure out other potential powers he loses them and left a vanilla human which puts notable strain on his relationship with Hope.
* ConsummateLiar: Landon developed a lying habit as a form of self-defense in abusive foster care. However, despite constantly mentioning his past, the character has ironically lied only a few times on screen without being mind-controlled. He later mentions how Hope has taught him the value of truth.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was a foster child, and his childhood wasn't always the happiest.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Rafael were in the foster system together, have been through thick and thin, always having each others' backs. They consider each other brothers.
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: Crafted by his father, Malivore, from the genetic material he has been absorbing for years and born to a human mother, Landon's supernatural status is somewhat currently an enigma. Partially human, at least partially phoenix (whether his phoenix part comes from a phoenix his father has once absorbed or if it's a result of an amalgam of several other species remains to be seen) and possibly something more.]]
* TheImmune: He is revealed to be unaffected by vampire compulsion and mind-controlling slugs.
* LoveInterest: Landon is a romantic interest for Hope. They start a relationship in episode 8.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Learns that [[spoiler:Agent Ryan Clarke is his half-brother]].
* MissingMom
* MysteriousPast
* NiceGuy
* {{Geek}}: Landon is revealed to be a passionate fan of several sci-fi franchises like for example, Star Wars.
* MysticalPregnancy: [[spoiler: Landon was immaculately conceived when his mother, Seylah, was trapped in a hell-like dimension, Malivore. Malivore is later revealed to be actually Landon's father.]]
* ThePhoenix: [[spoiler: After Landon dies, his body spontaneously catches fire and he is subsequently resurrected from the resulting ashes, leading Alaric to conclude that his supernatural species is a phoenix. However, the later revelation of his bloodline brings his status as pure phoenix into question.]]
* TokenHuman: Originally thought to be this but later revealed to be supernatural.
** He loses his phoenix abilities and becomes this between Seasons 2 & 3, as Lizzie is unable to siphon any magic from him in Season 3, indicating that he is now just a normal human and no longer supernatural.
* WonderChild: [[spoiler: Born to his father, Malivore, in his quest for a perfect heir to continue his legacy, Landon is the first success after countless failures.]]
* MysteryMagnet: [[spoiler: Due to his connection to Malivore,]] Landon seems to be constantly in the center of mysteries.

!!Josette "Josie" Saltzman
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/josiesaltz_6.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''I'm getting back to me. [[IAmWhatIAm I am who I am.]]'']]
->Played by: Creator/KayleeBryant

----

The Twin of Lizzie and Daughter of the Alaric, Josie is a Siphoner and one of the last surviving members of the powerful Gemini Coven. Josie is sweet but suffers from self-esteem issues due to constant self-comparison with her sister.

----
* ActionGirl: Not emphasized as Hope but she's a supernatural-fighting witch as well.
* TheAtoner: In Season 3, as she is now treated like an outcast by the rest of the students outside of the main cast and is trying to make amends for all the trouble that her evil side caused during Season 2.
* BadassBookworm: She's studious and bookish in comparison with other students but Josie is considered as a powerful witch.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Josie is kind and calm usually but if someone upset her, the person can end magically damaged.
* BrainyBrunette: She's a smart and bookish student.
%%* TheChick
* EvilMeScaresMe:
** When Josie's use of black magic in Season 2 causes her subconscious to be split into good and evil sides, the evil side easily overpowers the good side and takes over control of their shared physical body largely because the good side is too terrified of the evil side to put up much of a fight.
** This changes abruptly after Hope gets inside Josie's subconscious and informs the good side of the evil side's (nearly successful) attempt to kill Lizzie in the previous episode. The good side [[BigSisterInstinct quickly gets over her fear]] and absolutely [[CurbStompBattle wipes the floor]] with the evil side during their subsequent confrontation.
* ExtremeDoormat: Towards Lizzie.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: She has this going on with Lizzie. She's "The Smart Sister" of the two.
* GreenEyedMonster: It seems her dark side and use of black magic often turn her in this trope. She lampshaded this in 2x09.
* HollywoodNerd: Though she is not "The Beautiful Sister," an alternate reality shows that her [[InformedFlaw apparent unattractiveness]] is more due to her meek demeanor than a lack of beauty. She could easily be the popular, pretty girl in school too.
* HotWitch
* LockedOutOfTheLoop:
** [[spoiler: She and Lizzie are currently kept in the dark by their father that as twins they are destined to undergo the Gemini Coven's Merge ceremony when they turn 22 [[NightmareFuel where one twin eventually kills the other]].]]
** [[spoiler: She and Lizzie both finally learn of the Merge during the season 1 penultimate episode "I'll Tell You a Story".]]
* MissingMom
* NiceGirl: She's kind and gentle with everyone at the school generally.
%%* OppositesAttract
* PerpetualFrowner: Landon says he loves her "upside-down mouth," and Lizzie describes it as "resting concerned pouty face."
* PlayingWithFire: Josie has a thing for fire spells.
* RedOniBlueOni: Between the twin sisters, Josie is the Blue Oni to Lizzie's Red.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Being emotionally conflicted (generally) , Josie had this with a WillTheyOrWontThey streak with Penelope, Rafael and [[spoiler: somewhat Hope]]. Ironically with Penelope and Rafael , despite the mutual attraction she had with both, her codependency with Lizzie restrains her to make a move.

[[caption-width-right:350:''They just don’t think that I can change. Everyone just assumes that I'm going to be a bitch.'']]
->Played by: Jenny Boyd

----

The Twin of Josie and Daughter of the Alaric, Lizzie like Josie is a Siphoner and one of the only members of the Gemini Coven alive. Lizzie unlike her more timid twin is brash to the point that it alienates all but her closest friends.

----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Lizzie feels this way about Hope, because of how much attention Alaric gives Hope and relies on her, adding to her animosity towards Hope.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Has only been explicitly attracted to men, however the fact Josie was worried about Lizzie going for Hope if she knew Josie liked her and that “every time” Josie’s liked someone Lizzie goes for them, implies she is attracted to more than one gender.
* BreakTheHaughty
* BrokenBird: When a genie shows up as the latest monster, she says that she specifically targeted Lizzie to be her "master" because she's the most broken person at the school, and thus the easiest one for the genie to manipulate into handing over the MacGuffin that the monsters are after.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Lizzie is very possessive with her relatives and friends being jealous of Hope due to her bond with Alaric and later with Josie. She shows jealousy too when she sees MG's flirt with Dana.
* ContraltoOfDanger: She's a deep-voiced girl and a badass.
* DramaQueen: She tends to overreact when things do not go as planned.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: With Josie. She's "The Beautiful Sister" of the two.
* GreenEyedMonster: Lizzie has a jealous and possessive nature. It's not helped with her Gemini Coven lineage.
* HiddenDepths
* HotWitch
* ImmuneToMindControl: Zigzagged. She can be affected by mind control, but does have a higher than normal resistance to it. When she, Josie and Hope get brainwashed into joining a witch cult, Lizzie ultimately snaps out of the brainwashing on her own (and subsequently snaps Josie and Hope out of it so the three of them can stop the cult's leader).
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex
* ItsAllAboutMe: Oddly enough, Lizzie has shown capable of great selflessness, even if those close to her would not necessarily agree to or appreciate her methods as they usually involve some sort of self-sacrifice on Lizzie's part, which she can surprisingly take in stride.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sometimes concealed with a JerkassFacade. As Jo tells her, "you have such a big heart. It's okay to let other people see it."
* LockedOutOfTheLoop:
** [[spoiler: She and Josie are kept in the dark by Alaric and Caroline that on their 22nd birthday they must undergo the Gemini Coven twin Merge where one twin will kill the other.]]
** [[spoiler: In one of the altered realities created by the genie, Lizzie does find out about the Merge from that timeline's [[AlternateSelf alternate version of Alaric]]. However, the magical loophole that Lizzie ultimately uses to undo the genie's wishes involves a ResetButton that erases her memory of the altered timelines, including her learning of the Merge.]]
* MissingMom: Her biological mother Josette Laughlin is deceased, and Caroline her birth mother is often away during the series on "recruitment trips".
* MySisterIsOffLimits: She tends to disapprove Josie's relationships like with Penelope in Season 1, with Landon in Season 2 and even a possible romance with Hope after discovered this latter had a crush on Josie at 14. Maybe because she's somewhat territorial with her sister (don't want share her attention) and/or she thinks Josie deserves better anyway.
* RedOniBlueOni: Between the sisters, Lizzie is the Red Oni to Josie's Blue.
* StatuesqueStunner: Certainly beautiful and stands tall at 5’9” (175cm).

A genuine nice guy MG is one the school's friendliest students. Prior to being turned he suffered from ADHD and abandonment issues due to his troubled relationship with his father. A condition only amplified by his vampire state. Best friends with Josie and harboring a secret crash on Lizzie.
----

* BewareTheNiceOnes: In "Death Keeps Knocking on my Door", it is revealed after his first taste of human blood that MG has the psychological markers for being a Ripper.
* BlackAndNerdy: Loves comic books and other stereotypically nerdy things.
* TheCorruptible: MG can be very impressionable, often becoming the mark for other less scrupulous students when Penelope flirts with and leads him on in her mission to spite Josie and Lizzie. He later becomes swayed by Kaleb to feed on humans which backfires horribly.

[[quoteright:340:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/legacies_rafael.jpg]]
->Played by: Creator/PeytonAlexSmith

Childhood friend to Landon who grew up with him in the foster system. Rafael acts like an older brother to Landon. Rafael was on his way to an athletic scholarship when during an argument with his girlfriend he crashed their car and triggered his werewolf curse when she died. Confident and charismatic he has clashed with Hope in regards to Landon.
----
* BigBrotherInstinct: Rafael considers Landon his brother, is extremely loyal to and protective of Landon and will do anything to keep him safe. Even challenge the local Alpha of the school's pack of werewolves if it puts him in a position to let Landon stay at the school.
* ChickMagnet: He catches the eye of both Josie and Lizzie when he first appears at the school. It's hinted Hope harbors an attraction to him also.
* TheChosenOne: It is revealed in the Season 3 premiere that he is a direct descendant of King Arthur and thus the rightful modern day wielder of Excalibur.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Like Landon, Rafael had an abusive upbringing in the foster system. One of his foster dads used to take out his belt and use it on him.
* HairTriggerTemper: It's part of the standard werewolf package.

[[folder: Kaleb Hawkins]]
!!Kaleb Hawkins
->Played by: Chris Lee
----
* BigBrotherInstinct: To MG as well as his own sister Kym. In Season 2, he succeeds in determining Sebastian's true nature an personality through a simple verbal ruse, prompting Kaleb to stay his hand at reviving the much older vampire.
* CharacterDevelopment: Started out as an arrogant young vampire who saw him and his kind as superior. His bond with MG has since changed this. Has a good singing voice, enough to appease the Charon, the Ferryman of the Dead and surprisingly competent even for a vampire.
* FakeGuestStar: He's in more episodes than some of the mains.
* FamilyOfChoice: Promises to be MG's brother and protect him upon finding out he was basically kicked out of his family for being a vampire. Later on, it is shown Kaleb brought MG to his family BBQ where they can be seen having fun like any normal teenagers.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Though by Session 2 he has dropped the hidden part.
* {{Jerkass}}: Kaleb is arrogant, boisterous and considers his human peers inferior to him, and known for feeding on humans, a practice that is forbidden at the school. Fortunately, he has since outgrown this.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Kaleb eventually confronts Alaric about not allowing the school's vampires to drink human blood and not teaching the witches to use offensive spells, stating that they need those things in order to be at full strength for fighting off the increasingly stronger monsters that periodically attack the school. Alaric reluctantly admits that he's right.
* LackOfEmpathy: He starts off as this shamelessly feeding off of humans, talking all confident and tough all about how superior vampires are to humans. He gets better.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He reacts like this when his pushing of MG to drink human blood reveals that MG has the potential markings of a Ripper.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: When Kaleb's sister Kym and MG show signs of liking one another, Kaleb is quick to put a stop to that. Partly it's to keep his human sister from the supernatural world, and partly it's to protect MG from his sister.
* PetTheDog: Has a soft spot for MG over everyone else in the School.
* PoisonousFriend: Kaleb lures MG to embrace his philosophy of vampirism and feed directly from humans. It backfires when MG cannot stop feeding and almost kills someone, and Dorian explains that MG has the potential to be a Ripper vampire. He has since stopped being this.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: By the 10th episode of session 2.
* TookALevelInKindness: Took one after MG killed Landon and virtually unrecognizable from who he was by the time of session 2.
* UndyingLoyalty: To MG and later to the rest of the cast.

[[caption-width-right:350:''I intend to fight for always and forever, even if it destroys me.'']]
->Played by: Creator/DanielleRoseRussell

----

The daughter of the Original Hybrid Klaus Mikaelson, and werewolf Hayley Marshall, Hope is descended from some of the most powerful witch, vampire and werewolf bloodlines, known at the Salvatore School for the Young and Gifted as the ''Tri''brid.

----
* ActionGirl: Hope is always involved with the action whether it's going head to head with supernatural villains or monsters threatening the school or coming to the aid of lost, new students for the school.
* TheAloner: After Klaus and Hayley's deaths, she has become a recluse at the Salvatore School, not making any effort to befriend others or connect with her peers. Hope contributes this to the fact that people close to her end up getting hurt. Over Season 1, she starts to grow out of this befriending Landon, Josie and Rafael.
* {{Animorphism}}: Unlike most werewolves, she has a wolf form that she can shift into whenever she chooses, without being tied to the full moon, due to being part of the Crescent werewolf pack.
* BerserkButton:
** Never deceive her and break her trust, she will come after you with a vengeance. Landon found this out hard after he faked being compelled by MG to forget what he'd seen at the school and fled from them just after she opened up to him about her disastrous past.
** Most likely as a result as her first love interest being a vampire, Roman, who helped abduct her and Hayley which lead to her mom's death.
* BoobsOfSteel: Hope is both physically the strongest of the heroes as well as being a very well endowed young woman.
* BrattyTeenageDaughter: During The Originals season 5, when she takes impulsive actions trying to reunite with her father [[DaddyHadAGoodReasonForAbandoningYou who is forced to keep his distance from her to prevent the Hollow's spirit from ever coming after her again]]. Not so much anymore.
* DaddysGirl: Formerly. Her father adored her and she loved him dearly, despite the awful things he's done, and is shown to still be mourning him.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: She was possessed by the sinister Dark spirit known as the Hollow when she was a little girl (see DoomMagnet for further details). And that's before both of her parents, Klaus and Hayley, having given their lives to save hers, to her massive grief and (in the case of Hayley) guilt.
* DeadpanSnarker: Hope is liberal with her sarcasm and witty remarks in general.
* DoomMagnet: Having had multiple attempts on her life and having been attemtedly sacrificed by radical, over-zealous New Orleans witches even when her mother was still carrying her, targeted by her paternal grandmother Esther and her power sought after by her great aunt Dahlia, having been possessed by the Dark spirit, the Hollow when she was seven. Hope even considers herself a cosmic mistake aware of the circumstances concerning her existence. The repetitive losses and grief she's experienced, as well as her Mikaelson family's history are supposedly why she keeps people at arm's length.
* EmoTeen: Hope is known for harboring feelings of contempt so intense after she feels betrayed she contemplates killing someone (i.e. Landon) and having emotional breakdowns given her lot in life, including her Mikaelson family's dysfunctional, tragic and violent past. She compares herself to Lizzie over it, acknowledging probably in the first time ever in any of the series, that this might be a matter of mental health.
-->'''Hope''': "With a father and a grandfather like mine, I'm probably not immune to those issues myself."
* FieryRedhead: Has the red/auburn-hair and a fiery personality being headstrong and independent, fiercely protective and can become very HotBlooded when she''s in a mood
* HealingFactor: As the daughter of a vampire-werewolf hybrid, Hope has vampire blood produced and running through her body, allowing her to heal herself when she's injured.
* TheHero:
* HeroicSacrifice: [[spoiler: In the Season 1 finale, Hope allows herself to be absorbed by Malivore ([[LaserGuidedAmnesia erasing her from the world's collective memory]]), to stop it from fully regaining its humanoid form.]]
* HotWitch: Hope is a physically attractive young woman and a powerful, skilled witch.
* HybridPower: Specifically, she is the first and only Tri-brid, a hybrid of all three primarily known supernatural species (vampire, werewolf, and witch).
* IceQueen
* LikeParentUnlikeChild: There is an undeniable irony in Klaus being the established villain of the story and Hope being the heroine every time something bad happens.
* LoveInterest: Hope is this for Landon Kirby. They enter a relationship in episode 8.
* PintsizedPowerhouse: 5’3” and badass. Can easily handle creatures much bigger than her.
* PowerIncontinence: As a first born witch of her generation of the Mikaelson family line, Hope possesses immense magical power as a witch, like her Aunt Freya and her great-aunt Dahlia.
* ThePowerOfBlood: Like her father Klaus', Hope's blood can be used to turn a werewolf into a vampire-werewolf hybrid or cure a vampire from a werewolf's bite.
* RippleEffectProofMemory: Apparently. After Hope, Landon, and Alaric find Landon's biological mother, Seylah whom allows herself to be [[LaserGuidedAmnesia erased from the world's memory by diving into the dimension Malivore]] in order to protect Landon, it is later revealed that Hope somehow retained her memories of Landon's mother even after everyone else's memories of her were erased.

* SheWhoFightsMonsters
* SugarAndIcePersonality
* WhenSheSmiles: Hope rarely lets her guard down, but when she does her smile is genuinely a sight to see.

You know, and you can only hold out hope for so long, and be hurt by so many people, before it starts to seems impossible to trust someone new.'']]
->Played by: Aria Shahghasemi

A charming, intelligent but bullied youth having grown up in the foster system, Landon has a mysterious past, even to himself and is an old acquaintance of Hope.
----
* ActionGirlfriend: Hope, who kicks ass on the regular.
* ActionSurvivor: Despite being supernatural, Landon ''zero'' offensive abilities for powers including speed or strength, thus is often forced to run, rely on his friends to fight, or use his wits. The good news is that as a Phoenix, he has ResurrectiveImmortality so even if he dies he'll come back. Although since its unknown how many times he can do it, he often errs on the side of caution.
* ButtMonkey: Landon is practically Born Unlucky with the crap he goes through in the course of the series starting with growing up in the foster care system. After spending a lifetime wanting to be special, he learns that his "father" is a HumanoidAbomination that created him to create a supernatural bloodline of his own.
** He has a beautiful girlfriend in [[ActionGirl Hope Mikaelson]] but is constantly remind that as the Tri-brid she's The Hero and more powerful than him by a large margin. He spends most of the first season not knowing what supernatural he is and then after learning he's a "phoenix" its constantly pointed out his only real known power is ResurrectiveImmortality. Then when he finally starts to figure out other potential powers he loses them and left a vanilla human which puts notable strain on his relationship with Hope.
* ConsummateLiar: Landon developed a lying habit as a form of self-defense in abusive foster care. However, despite constantly mentioning his past, the character has ironically lied only a few times on screen without being mind-controlled. He later mentions how Hope has taught him the value of truth.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Was a foster child, and his childhood wasn't always the happiest.
* HeterosexualLifePartners: He and Rafael were in the foster system together, have been through thick and thin, always having each others' backs. They consider each other brothers.
* HalfHumanHybrid: [[spoiler: Crafted by his father, Malivore, from the genetic material he has been absorbing for years and born to a human mother, Landon's supernatural status is somewhat currently an enigma. Partially human, at least partially phoenix (whether his phoenix part comes from a phoenix his father has once absorbed or if it's a result of an amalgam of several other species remains to be seen) and possibly something more.]]
* TheImmune: He is revealed to be unaffected by vampire compulsion and mind-controlling slugs.
* LoveInterest: Landon is a romantic interest for Hope. They start a relationship in episode 8.
* LukeIAmYourFather: Learns that [[spoiler:Agent Ryan Clarke is his half-brother]].
* MissingMom
* MysteriousPast
* NiceGuy
* {{Geek}}: Landon is revealed to be a passionate fan of several sci-fi franchises like for example, Star Wars.
* MysticalPregnancy: [[spoiler: Landon was immaculately conceived when his mother, Seylah, was trapped in a hell-like dimension, Malivore. Malivore is later revealed to be actually Landon's father.]]
* ThePhoenix: [[spoiler: After Landon dies, his body spontaneously catches fire and he is subsequently resurrected from the resulting ashes, leading Alaric to conclude that his supernatural species is a phoenix. However, the later revelation of his bloodline brings his status as pure phoenix into question.]]
* TokenHuman: Originally thought to be this but later revealed to be supernatural.
** He loses his phoenix abilities and becomes this between Seasons 2 & 3, as Lizzie is unable to siphon any magic from him in Season 3, indicating that he is now just a normal human and no longer supernatural.
* WonderChild: [[spoiler: Born to his father, Malivore, in his quest for a perfect heir to continue his legacy, Landon is the first success after countless failures.]]
* MysteryMagnet: [[spoiler: Due to his connection to Malivore,]] Landon seems to be constantly in the center of mysteries.

[[caption-width-right:350:''I'm getting back to me. [[IAmWhatIAm I am who I am.]]'']]
->Played by: Creator/KayleeBryant

----

The Twin of Lizzie and Daughter of the Alaric, Josie is a Siphoner and one of the last surviving members of the powerful Gemini Coven. Josie is sweet but suffers from self-esteem issues due to constant self-comparison with her sister.

----
* ActionGirl: Not emphasized as Hope but she's a supernatural-fighting witch as well.
* TheAtoner: In Season 3, as she is now treated like an outcast by the rest of the students outside of the main cast and is trying to make amends for all the trouble that her evil side caused during Season 2.
* BadassBookworm: She's studious and bookish in comparison with other students but Josie is considered as a powerful witch.
* BewareTheQuietOnes: Josie is kind and calm usually but if someone upset her, the person can end magically damaged.
* BrainyBrunette: She's a smart and bookish student.
%%* TheChick
* EvilMeScaresMe:
** When Josie's use of black magic in Season 2 causes her subconscious to be split into good and evil sides, the evil side easily overpowers the good side and takes over control of their shared physical body largely because the good side is too terrified of the evil side to put up much of a fight.
** This changes abruptly after Hope gets inside Josie's subconscious and informs the good side of the evil side's (nearly successful) attempt to kill Lizzie in the previous episode. The good side [[BigSisterInstinct quickly gets over her fear]] and absolutely [[CurbStompBattle wipes the floor]] with the evil side during their subsequent confrontation.
* ExtremeDoormat: Towards Lizzie.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: She has this going on with Lizzie. She's "The Smart Sister" of the two.
* GreenEyedMonster: It seems her dark side and use of black magic often turn her in this trope. She lampshaded this in 2x09.
* HollywoodNerd: Though she is not "The Beautiful Sister," an alternate reality shows that her [[InformedFlaw apparent unattractiveness]] is more due to her meek demeanor than a lack of beauty. She could easily be the popular, pretty girl in school too.
* HotWitch
* LockedOutOfTheLoop:
** [[spoiler: She and Lizzie are currently kept in the dark by their father that as twins they are destined to undergo the Gemini Coven's Merge ceremony when they turn 22 [[NightmareFuel where one twin eventually kills the other]].]]
** [[spoiler: She and Lizzie both finally learn of the Merge during the season 1 penultimate episode "I'll Tell You a Story".]]
* MissingMom
* NiceGirl: She's kind and gentle with everyone at the school generally.
%%* OppositesAttract
* PerpetualFrowner: Landon says he loves her "upside-down mouth," and Lizzie describes it as "resting concerned pouty face."
* PlayingWithFire: Josie has a thing for fire spells.
* RedOniBlueOni: Between the twin sisters, Josie is the Blue Oni to Lizzie's Red.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Being emotionally conflicted (generally) , Josie had this with a WillTheyOrWontThey streak with Penelope, Rafael and [[spoiler: somewhat Hope]]. Ironically with Penelope and Rafael , despite the mutual attraction she had with both, her codependency with Lizzie restrains her to make a move.

[[caption-width-right:350:''They just don’t think that I can change. Everyone just assumes that I'm going to be a bitch.'']]
->Played by: Jenny Boyd

----

The Twin of Josie and Daughter of the Alaric, Lizzie like Josie is a Siphoner and one of the only members of the Gemini Coven alive. Lizzie unlike her more timid twin is brash to the point that it alienates all but her closest friends.

----
* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Lizzie feels this way about Hope, because of how much attention Alaric gives Hope and relies on her, adding to her animosity towards Hope.
* AmbiguouslyBi: Has only been explicitly attracted to men, however the fact Josie was worried about Lizzie going for Hope if she knew Josie liked her and that “every time” Josie’s liked someone Lizzie goes for them, implies she is attracted to more than one gender.
* BreakTheHaughty
* BrokenBird: When a genie shows up as the latest monster, she says that she specifically targeted Lizzie to be her "master" because she's the most broken person at the school, and thus the easiest one for the genie to manipulate into handing over the MacGuffin that the monsters are after.
* ClingyJealousGirl: Lizzie is very possessive with her relatives and friends being jealous of Hope due to her bond with Alaric and later with Josie. She shows jealousy too when she sees MG's flirt with Dana.
* ContraltoOfDanger: She's a deep-voiced girl and a badass.
* DramaQueen: She tends to overreact when things do not go as planned.
* TheGloriousWarOfSisterlyRivalry: With Josie. She's "The Beautiful Sister" of the two.
* GreenEyedMonster: Lizzie has a jealous and possessive nature. It's not helped with her Gemini Coven lineage.
* HiddenDepths
* HotWitch
* ImmuneToMindControl: Zigzagged. She can be affected by mind control, but does have a higher than normal resistance to it. When she, Josie and Hope get brainwashed into joining a witch cult, Lizzie ultimately snaps out of the brainwashing on her own (and subsequently snaps Josie and Hope out of it so the three of them can stop the cult's leader).
* InferioritySuperiorityComplex
* ItsAllAboutMe: Oddly enough, Lizzie has shown capable of great selflessness, even if those close to her would not necessarily agree to or appreciate her methods as they usually involve some sort of self-sacrifice on Lizzie's part, which she can surprisingly take in stride.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Sometimes concealed with a JerkassFacade. As Jo tells her, "you have such a big heart. It's okay to let other people see it."
* LockedOutOfTheLoop:
** [[spoiler: She and Josie are kept in the dark by Alaric and Caroline that on their 22nd birthday they must undergo the Gemini Coven twin Merge where one twin will kill the other.]]
** [[spoiler: In one of the altered realities created by the genie, Lizzie does find out about the Merge from that timeline's [[AlternateSelf alternate version of Alaric]]. However, the magical loophole that Lizzie ultimately uses to undo the genie's wishes involves a ResetButton that erases her memory of the altered timelines, including her learning of the Merge.]]
* MissingMom: Her biological mother Josette Laughlin is deceased, and Caroline her birth mother is often away during the series on "recruitment trips".
* MySisterIsOffLimits: She tends to disapprove Josie's relationships like with Penelope in Season 1, with Landon in Season 2 and even a possible romance with Hope after discovered this latter had a crush on Josie at 14. Maybe because she's somewhat territorial with her sister (don't want share her attention) and/or she thinks Josie deserves better anyway.
* RedOniBlueOni: Between the sisters, Lizzie is the Red Oni to Josie's Blue.
* StatuesqueStunner: Certainly beautiful and stands tall at 5’9” (175cm).

Rafael was on his way to an athletic scholarship when during an argument with his girlfriend he crashed their car and triggered his werewolf curse when she died. Confident and charismatic he has clashed with Hope in regards to Landon.
----

* ChickMagnet: He catches the eye of both Josie and Lizzie when he first appears at the school. It's hinted Hope harbors an attraction to him also.
* TheChosenOne: It is revealed in the Season 3 premiere that he is a direct descendant of King Arthur and thus the rightful modern day wielder of Excalibur.

->Played by: Chris Lee
----
* BigBrotherInstinct: To MG as well as his own sister Kym. In Season 2, he succeeds in determining Sebastian's true nature an personality through a simple verbal ruse, prompting Kaleb to stay his hand at reviving the much older vampire.
* CharacterDevelopment: Started out as an arrogant young vampire who saw him and his kind as superior. His bond with MG has since changed this. Has a good singing voice, enough to appease the Charon, the Ferryman of the Dead and surprisingly competent even for a vampire.
* FakeGuestStar: He's in more episodes than some of the mains.
* FamilyOfChoice: Promises to be MG's brother and protect him upon finding out he was basically kicked out of his family for being a vampire. Later on, it is shown Kaleb brought MG to his family BBQ where they can be seen having fun like any normal teenagers.
* HiddenHeartOfGold: Though by Session 2 he has dropped the hidden part.
* {{Jerkass}}: Kaleb is arrogant, boisterous and considers his human peers inferior to him, and known for feeding on humans, a practice that is forbidden at the school. Fortunately, he has since outgrown this.
* JerkassHasAPoint: Kaleb eventually confronts Alaric about not allowing the school's vampires to drink human blood and not teaching the witches to use offensive spells, stating that they need those things in order to be at full strength for fighting off the increasingly stronger monsters that periodically attack the school. Alaric reluctantly admits that he's right.
* LackOfEmpathy: He starts off as this shamelessly feeding off of humans, talking all confident and tough all about how superior vampires are to humans. He gets better.
* MyGodWhatHaveIDone: He reacts like this when his pushing of MG to drink human blood reveals that MG has the potential markings of a Ripper.
* MySisterIsOffLimits: When Kaleb's sister Kym and MG show signs of liking one another, Kaleb is quick to put a stop to that. Partly it's to keep his human sister from the supernatural world, and partly it's to protect MG from his sister.
* PetTheDog: Has a soft spot for MG over everyone else in the School.
* PoisonousFriend: Kaleb lures MG to embrace his philosophy of vampirism and feed directly from humans. It backfires when MG cannot stop feeding and almost kills someone, and Dorian explains that MG has the potential to be a Ripper vampire. He has since stopped being this.
* PromotionToOpeningTitles: By the 10th episode of session 2.
* TookALevelInKindness: Took one after MG killed Landon and virtually unrecognizable from who he was by the time of session 2.
* UndyingLoyalty: To MG and later to the rest of the cast.

* ActionSurvivor

to:

* ActionSurvivorActionSurvivor: Despite being supernatural, Landon ''zero'' offensive abilities for powers including speed or strength, thus is often forced to run, rely on his friends to fight, or use his wits. The good news is that as a Phoenix, he has ResurrectiveImmortality so even if he dies he'll come back. Although since its unknown how many times he can do it, he often errs on the side of caution.

Then when he finally starts to figure out other potential powers he loses them and left a vanilla human which puts notable strain on his relationship with Hope.
