* BadassNormal: Cami is a TokenHuman within a series filled with supernatural beings yet she has shown that she is highly capable of defending herself and fighting for her own safety when she has to. Despite being a bit of a DamselInDistress in the beginning and needing her supernatural male suitors to look out for her, protect her or save her from time to time, Cami has become significantly more brave and badass as the series has gone on. She goes from a DamselInDistress to someone who is more of an ActionSurvivor who is capable of keeping up with the supernatural beings around her. Cami is not much of an ActionGirl since she does not have abilities which require her to defend herself during combat but she is more of a BadassBookworm, using her brains and intelligence to solve problems and achieve her goals and agenda.

* AboveGoodAndEvil: How he sees himself; his status as one of the most powerful creatures in existence have given him delusions of being above the rest of humanity. Because he views himself as the most powerful supernatural being on earth, he has a tendency to brag and boast about it, feeling that he can dictate what happens, whether it be moral or immoral.

Most of Klaus' family, including Elijah, Rebekah and even their father Mikael looked down on Klaus and see him as a monster who might not be capable of being redeemed. This is because time and time again, Klaus continues to commit immoral deed after immoral deed and he never seems to stop repeating the same bad behaviour. Although Klaus has shown BigBrotherInstinct and KnightTemplarBigBrother tendencies towards both Rebekah and Kol, it does not change the fact that Klaus has overall treated his siblings, younger and older, and the rest of his family like garbage.

When it comes to Klaus, she never hides the truth and she is extremely straightforward with him, sometimes to the point of excessive bluntness. However, Cami's bluntness and frankness with Klaus seems to have an effect on Klaus' personality and he does take what Cami says into account. Camille is very feisty and spunky and she is also very opinionated. For such a NiceGirl, she sure has a lot of spunk and fire inside of her.

As a result of being hexed by Agnes, Season slowly started to become crazy and insane. What is sad about the entire thing was that Sean was innocent in all of this and was hexed because of something he didn't even do. As a result, he ended up slaughtering innocents and taking his own life. And Camille lost a family member in the process.

* BrokenBird: Despite Cami coming off as optimistic, happy go lucky and naive and idealistic, there are times when Cami came off as aloof and cynical. This is because she has a DarkAndTroubledPast. At first, she comes off as emotionally detached and distant and she seems to have a habit of pushing others away. The reason for this is because her twin brother Sean had died. After this occurred, she was forever changed and she became severely depressed and hopeless. After her brother's death, she never seemed to fully recover from the loss. Despite this, Cami has also shown that she is very loving, kind, caring and compassionate towards other people and she has sympathized with others who have endured or experienced loss or gone through the process of grief themselves, such as Klaus for example. She has shown that she has empathy for Klaus as she learns to understand his troubles and his background and how endured much suffering and abuse. Still, Cami does have moments of sadness and cynicism despite being the eternal optimist. Understandable considering the pain and heartache that Camille has gone through.

Remarkably powerful [[spoiler:due to absorbing the powers of three dead Witch girls by accident during a failed Harvest Ritual]], she is quite formidable albeit her youth and lack of experience is her weak spot. Devoted to Marcel [[spoiler:saved her from said ritual]], they share a brother\sister like relationship: he listens to her warning regarding the Old ones, and even hesitates to hand [[spoiler: over Elijah]] on her say so. Davina has an attitude to boot. Combined with her temper and impulsiveness, she's a wild card over the war for the Crown of King. It turns out that she and Marcel bonded so well because of their similarities. [[spoiler:In particular, her drive to fight back against all odds when in danger, even when it seems hopeless. In fact, her and Marcel's meeting was similar to Klaus and young Marcel's meeting in the past.]]

[[caption-width-right:350:''"I want to be King."'']]
->'''Played By:''' Joseph Morgan
->'''Rebekah:''' Klaus may be a miserable excuse for a sibling but there is none more diabolical.
Klaus is a 1,000+ year old hybrid, who is half vampire and half werewolf. Originally, Klaus, like all of the other Original vampires, was born a human until Esther and Mikael bestowed the curse of vampirism/immortality onto him and the rest of his siblings.
----
* AboveGoodAndEvil: How Klaus sees himself.
* AffablyEvil: To Camille, when he wants to be.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Hayley used to find him irresistible.
* [[AlphaBitch Alpha Bastard]]
* AmbitionIsEvil: Klaus achieves his goals and plans through underhanded means.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Elijah.
* AntiVillain: Klaus is [[NobleDemon Type I]] and [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Type II]].
* ArchnemesisDad: While not related to each other biologically, Klaus did raise Marcel like a son but they schemed to kill one another. It's also what Klaus fears his offspring will see him as.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: "Niklaus is the name my father gave me. Please, call me Klaus."
* AxCrazy: Klaus is the epitome of psychologically unstable, and he is rather dangerous. Klaus is capable of extreme violence and murderous rage, especially if he is crossed.
* {{Badass}}: Klaus is the most powerful being on the planet. He is a hybrid after all (vampire/werewolf). Because of this, he's extra strong and badass.
** BadassBoast: Basically all of the time. When is Klaus not boasting?
** BadassInCharge: He's the Vampire King of New Orleons.
** CulturedBadass: Klaus seems to enjoy the finer and expensive things in life. Not to mention that Klaus loves art (he even draws himself!).
** HeartbrokenBadass: Klaus has had quite a bit of heartbreak along the way.
** TookALevelInBadass: Seems to be even more badass than he was before on ''Series/TheVampireDiaries''.
* BarbarianLonghair: In the flashbacks.
* BastardBastard: Klaus is the illegitimate child of Esther and an unknown man who was a werewolf.
* BastardBoyfriend
* BelligerentSexualTension: With both Hayley and Camille so far.
* TheBerserker: Klaus is very impulsive and throws himself amidst violence without a second thought.
* BerserkButton: Never defy him, screw with one of his plans, and if you try to kill him and fail, you'd better start to run as fast as you can. Most importantly, no one, '''no one''' but him is allowed to hurt his loved ones, unless he gives you his consensus. And if he does, ''follow the plan to the letter''.
** Also, ''do not betray him. Ever.''
* BigBad: Arguably, for this series.
** BigBadFriend: To Marcel and Camille.
* BlackSheep: Klaus is this to his family, especially to his father Mikael. He doesn't really fit in and he seems to be ostracized by most of them.
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Blondish.
* BloodKnight: Klaus has shown to be very violent and he gets a thrill out of fighting.
* BreakoutVillain: Klaus was a very popular character on ''The Vampire Diaries'', hence why he was given his own series, ''The Originals''.
* BritishAccents: Klaus has a British accent due to Joseph Morgan originally hailing from Britain.
* CainAndAbel: Klaus is the Cain to Elijah's Abel.
* TheCasanova: Klaus likes to charm women, manipulate them, use them and than dump them.....or kill them.
* TheCharmer: Comes with being The Casanova and being a ManipulativeBastard.
* TheChessmaster: Klaus is very intelligent, manipulative and scheming.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Klaus will never hesitate to backstab anyone, literally. Klaus has stabbed and daggered his entire family.
* ChronicVillainy: Klaus just can't help himself from committing bad or evil acts. Sometimes one wonders if he is capable of changing or being truly redeemed.
* ComedicSociopathy: Klaus is sociopathic and manipulative but he can be very funny and witty at the same time even amidst committing immoral acts.
* CorruptTheCutie: Subverted. His interactions with Camille pull her dangerously close to the actual conflict of the series, but he seems to be aware of this and wants her out of harm's way.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Klaus has a strong jealous and envious streak.
* CrazyPrepared: Klaus ''always'' has a plan. And if Plan A doesn't work out, then a Plan B, and a Plan C, etc.
* CurbStompBattle: Put it this way: Marcel's vampire army ''did not stand a chance against Klaus.''
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DarkIsEvil: Klaus is seen wearing a lot of darker clothing, particularly black.
* DarkMessiah: Klaus is ''the'' only Original Hybrid on the planet, making him extremely powerful and dangerous.
* DeadpanSnarker: Klaus may be the bad guy, but he's still got his share of witty comebacks, lines and phrases.
* TheDeterminator: Klaus '''NEVER''' gives up when he has a goal, agenda or plan that he wishes to achieve.
* DisproportionateRetribution: His punishment towards anyone who displeases him in the slightest.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Hates when people feel sorry for him.
* TheDreaded: Marcel's vampires are very, very nervous about the idea of him running loose in New Orleans.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: All Klaus has ever wanted was loyalty and respect from others, especially from his own family.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Even though Klaus is a villain, he has been shown to be capable of love and affection.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Seemed genuinely horrified when Caroline asked if he was going to kill her on her birthday.
* EvilBrit: Klaus has a British accent due to Joseph Morgan being from Britain.
* EvilFeelsGood[=/=]EvilIsCool[=/=]EvilIsSexy
* EvilGenius: Klaus is very intelligent, strategic and manipulative.
* EvilGloating: When is Klaus not gloating? It could practically be his middle name (if he were to have one).
* EvilIsHammy: Klaus is not always subtle and can be rather grandiose and over the top in his actions and mannerisms.
* EvilIsPetty: His occasional and casual cruelty speak for itself.
* EvilTastesGood: Well, Klaus ''is'' a vampire and a werewolf.
* FallenHero: If you look back at when Klaus was human, he was actually a kind, gentle soul who loved to have fun. All that changed when he felt responsible and blamed himself for the death of his younger brother Henrik, became a vampire and unleashed his werewolf side as well.
* FakeAmerican: Klaus was born in what would become Mystic Falls in the 11th century. In real life, Joseph Morgan is from Britain.
* FakeNationality: See FakeAmerican.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Klaus is the only man who can politely smile while making you stab yourself over and over again for his own pleasure and amusement.
* FireForgedFriends: With Marcel.
* FirstOfItsKind: Klaus is the very first Original Hybrid.
* {{Foil}}: To Elijah. Klaus is the immoral brother and Elijah is the moral brother. This mirrors the brother dynamic between the Salvatore brothers (with Klaus and Elijah paralleling Damon and Stefan respectively).
* ForTheEvulz: Klaus will gleefully torture or kill anyone if it benefits his plans or even amuses him.
* FreudianTrio: Is part of five, actually. In promotional material, he's [[TheMcCoy the Id]] to [[TheSpock Elijah's]] Superego and [[TheKirk Rebekah's]] Ego.
** In ''The Vampire Diaries'' 3.15, he's [[TheKirk the Ego]] to [[TheMcCoy Kol's]] Id and [[TheSpock Elijah's]] Superego.
** In ''The Vampire Diaries'' 4.17, he's [[TheSpock the Superego]] to [[TheMcCoy Caroline's]] Id and [[TheKirk Stefan's]] Ego.
** In the LoveTriangle he's part of, he's [[TheSpock the Superego]] to [[TheMcCoy Tyler's]] Id and [[TheKirk Caroline's]] Ego.
** He's could also be seen as [[TheMcCoy the Id]] to Marcel's [[TheSpock Superego]] and Camille's [[TheKirk Ego]].
* GenerationXerox: Klaus has a lot more in common with Mikael than he would like to think or believe.
* AGodAmI: "I want to be King."
* GodzillaThreshold: Klaus is this for the witches of New Orleans. They're so desperate to end Marcel's tyranny that they summon an Original vampire into their hometown just to even the odds.
* HairTriggerTemper: Klaus is very quick tempered and gets angered very easily.
* HandsomeDevil
* HandsomeLech
* HasAType: Seems to have a "thing" for girls with blonde hair and blue eyes. Caroline and Camille anyone?
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Stefan (back in the 1920's).
* HotBlooded: Klaus is very impulsive, brash and hot headed.
* HumiliationConga: Has gone through this a lot all within a span of only 9 episodes.
* IAmNotMyFather: Becoming like Mikael is Klaus' worse nightmare. Ironically, Klaus and Mikael share a lot of traits in common.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Seemingly a large part of his desire to create [[spoiler: his own race]]. In season three, he bitterly refers to [[spoiler: Stefan]] as his only companion. Of course, any sympathy this might evoke rather vanishes when one remembers that the reason ''why'' he's so alone is he murdered his entire family.
* {{Immortality}}: Klaus is an Original vampire/hybrid. He is capable of living forever without physically aging. Although he physically looks like someone in their 20's, he is actually over 1,000 years old. He cannot die under normal circumstances.
** Klaus is Type V: TheUndead. He is a living dead person.
** He's also Type X: LifeDrinker.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain
* InformedAttribute: Klaus will let you know that he's a hybrid, even though he has only transformed into a wolf once.
* InsaneEqualsViolent: Klau can be crazy, vicious and murderous when he wants to be.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Klaus is the epitome of selfish and everything is all about him; his pain, his power and his agenda.
* {{Jerkass}} --> JerkassFacade: OH SO MUCH.
** JerkassDissonance
* JokerImmunity: Has developed this because of his statuses as BreakoutVillain, EnsembleDarkhorse and CreatorsPet.
* KickTheMoralityPet: He cares for Camille and is concerned about her safety in the upcoming war. That doesn't stop him from mind-wiping her once she's served his needs.
* KnightOfCerebus
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: To Rebekah.
* LackOfEmpathy: To a great extent.
* LargeHam: Klaus can be rather over the top at times, especially when he gets angry and throws a tantrum.
* LikeASonToMe: Marcel is like a son to Klaus. He practically raised him.
* LoveInterest: Caroline is his. Whether she reciprocates is [[ShipTease deba]][[FoeYay table]].
* ManOfWealthAndTaste
* ManipulativeBastard[=/=]MagnificentBastard: Klaus is always manipulating somebody in order to achieve his goal or agenda.
* MeaningfulName: Niklaus (which is the German or Scandinavian version of Nicholas) means ''"victory of the people"''. It is derived from the Greek Nikolaos (ΝικÏŒλαος).
* MindRape: Does this to Camille so she doesn't remember any of their talks.
* MonsterLord: Klaus is the Original Hybrid and has created hybrids himself.
* MonsterSobStory: Although he's the villain, the flashbacks of his human life have managed to give some viewers a more sympathetic point of view for Klaus.
* NinjaPirateRobotZombie: He's a [[spoiler: werewolf ''and'' a vampire]].
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: The Roguish to Elijah's Noble.
* ObviouslyEvil: Klaus fit this trope in season two. That was until we were given more insight into his character in season three.
* OhCrap: It's very subtle, but Klaus has this expression on his face when [[spoiler: Silas sneaks up on him...]]
* PapaWolf
* PetTheDog: His moments with Camille count. In the beginning of the series, he was much kinder to Hayley.
* PermaStubble: Justified because he's probably never shaved and his hair doesn't grow.
** Actually vampires in the series can grow hair and beards, recent flashbacks show Elijah with facial hair even though he was somewhat clean shaven when first turned.
* PlotArmor: Despite virtually everyone in the cast constantly trying to kill him, and coming ridiclously close to being KilledOffForReal several times, the writers won't let him die. [[spoiler: That is, until "Before Sunset", when he is ''finally'' put into a death-like torpor via the same spell that bound Mikael.]] [[spoiler: But in the next episode he's back up again, though in a new body]]
* PowerTrio: See FreudianTrio above.
* PsychopathicManchild: Klaus definitely qualifies, especially when he is angered and lashes out at others.
* PsychoticSmirk
* [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really One Thousand Years Old]]: Klaus was born in the 10th century. He is also immortal.
* RedOniBlueOni: Klaus is definitely the Red to Elijah's Blue. Klaus is much more passionate while Elijah is much more stoic.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Klaus is the Savvy Guy to Camille's Energetic Girl.
* SharpDressedMan
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler: After Genevieve reveals to Klaus that Rebekah used to her to summon Mikael to New Orleans, he doesn't explode like he usually dies. He continues to taunt and threaten Rebekah with a calm, chilling tone....]]
* TrueCompanions: With his siblings, despite everything they've done to each other.
* SmugSmiler
* TheSociopath: Despite all his claims to not wanting to be alone, Klaus gleefully murders his own family members without regret or remorse. The only times he ever seems upset is when things go wrong for him on a personal level.
* TheStrategist: Everything that Klaus does is strategic.
* TroubledButCute
* UndyingLoyalty: Klaus desires this from others more than anybody, especially from his family. Too bad he always manages to destroy every chance of it happening.
* TheUnfavourite: His father, Mikael, hated him and had a preference for Elijah over him. The dynamic between Klaus and Elijah mirrors that of Damon and Stefan, with Klaus as Damon and Elijah as Stefan. Like Damon, Klaus was also the un-favourite son and like Stefan, Elijah was the favourite son.
** Unlike Damon, however, Mikael's favoritism of Elijah was because [[spoiler: Klaus isn't his biological son.]] However, he treated him like scum even before discovering that.
* UngratefulBastard
* TheUnfettered: Klaus doesn't care about morals and he is very ruthless; he will do anything and everything to achieve his desired goal or agenda, even if innocent people end up in danger or get killed. It also completely un-fazes him when someone gets killed.
* VampiresAreSexGods
* VampireMonarch: Klaus is the Vampire King of New Orleans.
* VillainousBreakdown: In 1.07, after Elijah accuses him of trying to use his baby's blood to create hybrids. It's mild compared to some of the more epic tantrums he's had, but it does end with him ''biting Elijah.''
* VillainousCrush: For Caroline of course.
* VillainProtagonist: Is this for this series.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Klaus' plan ends with him becoming the de facto ruler of New Orleans along with his siblings.
** Offers the same thing to Marcel in the mid-season finale when he asks Marcel to help him rule New Orleans together.
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: He does grin and smirk sardonically, mischievously or [[PsychoticSmirk psychotically]] quite a lot, but his genuine smiles are quite the sight. So far in this series, the only time he's smiled like this is when Hayley tells him that she thinks their baby is going to be a girl.
* WickedCultured
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Caroline seems to think so. Stefan also agrees, but it doesn't stop him from trying to backstab him everytime he has the chance. The fact that he was constantly belittled by his father and cursed and shunned by his mother does bring up an interesting case.
* WouldHitAGirl
* WouldHurtAChild: Poor Tim...
* WroteTheBook
--> '''Caroline''': "Why do you always have to prove you're the alpha male?"
--> '''Klaus''': "I don't have to prove anything, love, I AM the alpha male!"

[[caption-width-right:350:''"No-one threatens my family and lives."'']]
->'''Played By:''' Daniel Gillies
An Original vampire, Elijah is the most sophisticated, noble and moral member of his family. He alternately works for Klaus and against him throughout the series. He was once in love with Katherine and tried to save her from his brother but she betrayed him. Elijah follows Klaus to New Orleans, convinced that there's a trap waiting for him. Once he finds out about Hayley being pregnant, he stays with his siblings in the hopes that Klaus' child will finally bring him some measure of peace and redeem him.
----
* AffablyEvil: He's an intelligent, charming man who strongly believes in honor and loyalty but he has a dark, dangerous side and he'd be able to kill whenever it suits his needs.
* AloofBigBrother: To Klaus, Finn, Kol, and Rebekah.
* AntiVillain: [[NobleDemon Type I]], with shades of [[KnightInSourArmor Type III]].
* AscendedExtra: All the Originals vampires became increasingly more important in the story, but Elijah is a particularly extreme example. Julie Plec admits that Daniel Gillies performance and the pull of Elijah's character inspired the writers to make the Originals un-killable to keep him around. And he was originally just a "foot soldier" before being made into Klaus's brother.
* {{Badass}}: He's Klaus's equal on the vampire totem pole, ''vastly'' above and beyond the likes of Stefan and Damon.
** BadassBoast: Just as much as Klaus.
** CulturedBadass: Elijah comes from wealth and is highly sophisticated.
** HeartbrokenBadass: Elijah has faced heartache in regards to both love and his family. He hasn't been lucky in either department.
* BerserkButton: Don't harm or kill any one of Elijah's family. He will get revenge.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Elijah is usually defined as the most noble out of Klaus and Rebekah but is not afraid to showcase his vicious side when his family is threatened. Which Agnes discovered the hard way.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Klaus and Rebekah.
* CainAndAbel: Elijah is the Abel to Klaus' Cain.
* CanonForeigner: He does not appear in the books.

* TheChessmaster: Elijah is very strategic and logical by nature.
* TheDandy: Elijah is always sharply and neatly dressed and never likes to look improper.
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Elijah is the most aware of them all and he always knows what's going on.
* DeadpanSnarker: Elijah has a dry sense of humour and a quick wit. Even when he is being serious, he can be funny.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: See BadassBoast above.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even though Elijah has done immoral things, he is still considered to be rather honourable, noble and moral by nature. Elijah was extremely noble during his human life.

** Though Elijah's origin is not completely known. Only Klaus, Rebekah, Kol, and Henrik are confirmed to have been born in the New World.
* TheFettered: Elijah is known to be a very moral, honourable person by nature.
* {{Foil}}: To Klaus. Klaus is the immoral brother and Elijah is the moral brother. See RedOniBlueOni and NobleMaleRoguishMale.
* FriendlyEnemy: He develops a friendship and a sort of understanding with Elena.
* HeelRealization[=/=]IAmAMonster: After threatening Elena, he comes to agree with his mother's view of him as an abomination.
* HiddenHeartOfGold
* HonorBeforeReason: Elijah is a highly noble, honourable person. Elijah seems to value the concept of honour, and expects it from anyone else who gives him their word. [[spoiler: Part of the reason why he broke his oath with the New Orleans witches is because they weren't honest about their true intentions towards Klaus or Hayley.]]
* HotGuysAreBastards
* IGaveMyWord: He swears to protect Hayley and her child from Klaus.
* {{Immortality}}: Elijah is an Original vampire. He is capable of living forever without physically aging. Although he is in his late 20's, he is technically over 1,000 years old. He cannot die under normal circumstances.
** Elijah is Type V: TheUndead. He is a living dead person. He's also Type X: LifeDrinker.
* {{Jerkass}} --> JerkassFacade
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Especially in the beginning. Elijah came off as cold and uncaring but he's actually rather moral and honourable by nature.
* KnightTemplar
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: To both Rebekah and Klaus. He is highly protective of both of them.
* {{Kuudere}}: Elijah is Type I.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste
* ManipulativeBastard: He doesn't even need to use compulsion to get people to do what he wants.
* NervesOfSteel
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: He definitely tries to adhere to this. Notably the only vampire not seen feeding on a human at any point.
* NobleDemon: He is reluctant to kill anyone and has a strong sense of nobility, honourability and morals, but he commits some immoral and morally questionable acts in order to preserve and protect the one thing he values the most: his family. However, despite his claim to nobility, he has ruthless killed many people for little reason, Trevor who was only asking for forgiveness was mercilessly decapitated and Slater, just for talking to Damon and Rose was compel by Elijah to kill himself.
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: Elijah is the Noble Male to Klaus' Roguish Male.
* OnlySaneMan: Likes to think he is but this honor goes to Finn, though Elijah would be next in line, especially compared to Klaus, Kol and Rebekah.
* PowerTrio: See TheSpock below.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Elijah is an Original vampire who is really 1,000 years old and was born during the 10th century.
* RedOniBlueOni: Elijah is the Blue to Klaus' Red. Klaus is impulsive while Elijah is more logical.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: After Celeste reveals herself and kidnaps Rebekah and Klaus, Elijah vows to kill all the witches in the French Quarter.]]
* SiblingRivalry: Elijah has had an ongoing rivalry with his brother Klaus for centuries. Elijah has even gone as far as to attempt killing Klaus in order to stop him from breaking his hybrid curse and killing people in the process.
* SiblingYinYang: Elijah is the opposite of Klaus in terms of personality, outlook, values and beliefs. While Elijah is more moral, noble and upstanding, Klaus is more impulsive, immoral and reckless.
* SharpDressedMan: Elijah never fails to look dapper, neatly dressed and well-put together in his finest suits.
* SophisticatedAsHell: Elijah is the epitome of chic and fashionable.
-->''"I'm a little behind the times but I believe the term you're looking for is 'OMG'."''
* TheSpock: Both to Rebekah's [[TheKirk Kirk]] and Klaus' [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] in promotional material and to Kol's [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] and Klaus' [[TheKirk Kirk]] in 3x15.
* TheStoic: Elijah is very calm, composed and collected, even when he gets angry.
** NotSoStoic: [[spoiler: When the witches tried to kill Hayley's baby, Elijah is constantly on the verge of a full-blown panic attack. This also serves as a clue as to how deep his feelings for her have become.]]
** And then there's his ''wail'' of anguish [[spoiler: after he finds the body of his witch lover Celeste.]]
* SuperStrength: Even by vampire standards, he's extremely strong and can rip other vampires' heads off with little effort. Justified because he is not a normal vampire but an original.

* TallDarkAndSnarky

* VillainBall: Sometimes family comes first to him, even if it means sparing/helping his murderous siblings.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Elijah tries to do the right thing by being loyal to his family but some of his methods can be rather extreme. In most instances, Elijah's heart is in the right place.
* WickedCultured: All the Originals can qualify, but mostly Elijah being the most sophisticated member of the family.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"I should never have come back here."'']]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/ClaireHolt
An Original vampire, Rebekah is the only daughter of the Original family. She had a romance with Stefan in the 1920s. Klaus staked her when she chose Stefan over him. She was unstaked by Klaus in an effort to find out why his hybrids were failing. Her cruel nature masks her emotional insecurity. Originally, Rebekah declined to come to New Orleans, and only showed up because [[ProperlyParanoid she was convinced that Elijah had gotten in trouble due to his need to redeem Klaus.]] She says she wants to leave, but events conspire to keep her in this city that has such bittersweet memories for her.
----
* ActionFashionista: Rebekah can kick ass. And normally she's doing it in rather expensive and chic clothing.
* ActionGirl[=/=]DarkActionGirl: Rebekah is strong, tough and incredibly badass. She is an Original vampire after all and possibly the strongest female character on the show.
* AllWomenLoveShoes: She seems to love her high heels and stilettos.
* AlphaBitch: Rebekah is like a thousand year old version of the love rival in a Taylor Swift song.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Elijah and Klaus.

* BastardGirlfriend
* BeautyIsBad
* BerserkButton: Hurting or killing any of her family members. If one messes with her family, she will no doubt get revenge.
** Also, betraying Rebekah in any way, shape or form is a huge NO-NO. If one betrays Rebekah, watch her wrath.
* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Camille's Betty for Marcel's Archie.
* BlondesAreEvil: Not evil, but still aggressive, cruel, spiteful and vindictive.
* BreakTheCutie: Her past qualifies.
* BrutalHonesty: All the time.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Rebekah to Mikael.
* CanonForeigner: Rebekah as a character doesn't exist in the novel series.

* ClingyJealousGirl: With Stefan in ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' and now with Marcel on ''The Originals''.
* DarkActionGirl
* TheDarkChick
* DeadpanSnarker: Not as much as her brothers but she certainly has her witty moments.
* TheDeterminator
* EntitledBitch
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She's all for [[spoiler: betraying Klaus and keeping him locked away to rot for eternity, but she draws the line at anyone hurting Hayley's baby.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Seems genuinely baffled as to why Matt would offer her a ride home without a hidden motive, believing that it can't be due to his just being kind. Matt seems to find this sad more than anything.
* EvilFeelsGood[=/=]EvilIsCool[=/=]EvilIsSexy
* EvilIsPetty: Her brothers are schemers and manipulators with big plans. Rebekah seems content with being as unpleasant as possible to people she doesn't like, namely Elena.

* FakeAmerican[=/=]FakeNationality : See FakeBrit.

* {{Foil}}: To Camille.
* GirlyBruiser: Very feminine but won't hesitate to kick ass whenever possible.
* GirlyGirl: Rebekah is really feminine and enjoys all the girly things including fashion.
* HelloNurse
* HiddenDepths: Despite her aggressive nature, Rebekah has shown to be emotionally fragile. She very much wants to be like a normal teenager, and longs to have the normal teenage life she missed out on. Before being turned into a vampire, she used to be a sweet and normal girl, as seen in the flashbacks.
* HotGirlsAreBitches
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: She actually does have a good reason for basically abandoning Marcel in New Orleans. Mostly because [[ArchnemesisDad Mikael]] had rolled into town and laid siege to their home and for all appearances [[{{NeverFoundTheBody}} it appeared that Marcel had perished]] in the fire that lit up half of the Quarter..
* IJustWantToBeLoved: The girl will go to some very self-destructive ends for even the slightest amount of affection.
* {{Immortality}}: Rebekah is an Original vampire. She is capable of living forever and cannot physically age. Even though she looks like a teenager, she is technically over 1,000 years old.

* LightFeminineAndDarkFeminine: Rebekah is the Dark Feminine to Camille's Light Feminine.
* LoveHungry: See IJustWantToBeLoved. Rebekah seems to desire to be loved more than anything. Unfortunately, all she has gotten is heartache and betray;l. It is no wonder that Rebekah became the way she is.
* LoveMartyr: In regards to Klaus and her family OH SO MUCH. Even when Klaus treated Rebekah like crap for centuries, she still never stopped loving him and remained loyal to him no matter what. She seems to be growing more of a backbone in regards to Klaus and his behavior as of recently though.

** Her scenes with Hayley in ''The Originals'' would also count.
* PowerTrio: With herself, Klaus and Elijah. See TheKirk above.
* ProperLady: Especially in the flashbacks.
* [[spoiler:PutOnABus:]] [[spoiler: Rebekah is exiled by Klaus to give her the freedom she wants and to stop the toxic family dynamic that the two developed with one another.]]

->'''Played By:''' Charles Michael Davis
->''"Guess I'm what you call a necessary evil."''
The current ruler of all supernatural life in New Orleans. Took over the city while Klaus and his siblings were run [[{{NoodleIncident}} out of Town by their father over one hundred years ago.]] He is charming, intelligent, ruthless, and cunning. He was turned by Klaus back in the day, however he spent over a decade under Klaus' house as his adopted son. Unsurprisingly, this makes their current relationship [[{{Understatement}} a touch complex.]]
----
* AffablyEvil: He can be charming, giving, and an all round fun guy. As long as everything runs smoothly and nobody forgets whose in charge...if so this can lead to his BerserkButton.
* AFatherToHisMen: Considers himself this to his soldiers. Main more evident when [[spoiler: his soldiers turned down Klaus offer to switch sides.]] Also made evident when he decided to [[spoiler: bend his knee in surrender rather then go down fighting, in order to save his outmatched soldiers.]]
* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler: Pledged his allegiance and surrendered his kingdom to Klaus after his disastrous attempt at [[capturing and imprisoning the hybrid.]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: While his methods are brutal and he shows little mercy towards his enemies Marcel could be considered this as his enemies, the witches [[spoiler: sacrifice children]] and his relationship with the human population is fairly reasonable (though sometimes strained).
* AntiVillain: Type I; Marcel is ruthless and willing to resort to extremely violent means to accomplish his goals, but he mentions he has limits. He won't feed on children, and [[spoiler: compared to the witches he could be considered the lesser of two evils.]]
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Rebekah.
* BenevolentBoss: The vampires in town are quite loyal towards him, and Marcel views his inner circle as family. He displays some affection even towards the nightwalkers (vampires not in the inner circle) by allowing them parties to blow off steam. He showed willingness to allow Thierry to continue his relationship with a witch, and only [[spoiler: imprisoned him in the Garden when Klaus manipulated the situation to appear as if Thierry was planning on betraying Marcel.]] In 1X08 Marcel's leadership qualities are displayed next to Klaus' for full efffect. While Klaus threatens to torture his enemies for eternity, Marcel calmly tells his followers that he'll understand if they switch sides.
* BerserkButton: Challenge him, and by extension his rule, and you get to see the less charming side. Also, like his mentor, and father figure Klaus, he takes disloyalty extremely personal.
* BigBad: Is set up as this for The Originals. Though as the episodes pass and the BlackAndGrayMorality show, this trope seems to be muddled somewhat. The competition that Klaus ends up bringing doesn't help.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Is fiercely protective of Davina and will risk anything to for her. Be it his Kingdom or his own life.
* BotheringByTheBook: When he figures out that [[{{TheMole}} Josh is working for Klaus under compulsion]] his first instinct is to kill him, then he notes that would be breaking his own rules. However he does come up with a better [[{{ReverseMole}} better plan instead...]]
* TheCharmer: While he does seek a solid relationship with Rebekah, technically speaking he has managed to have sexual relations with Sophia , Celeste (technically), and Camille.
* TheDeterminator: Is a survivor and a fighter, traits that Klaus saw in himself.
* DevilInPlainSight: Quite literally in regards to the Original vampires, but subverted when it is shown that he has a fairly decent arrangement with the humans of the Quarter.
* EnemyMine: With Father Kieran. Though Kieran doesn't particularly like Marcel, he once came to him for help when [[spoiler: the witches were planning on slaughtering four girls for the Harvest ceremony.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He won't feed on children and he is openly disgusted [[spoiler: by the witches' plans to slaughter their daughters to gain more power.]]
* [[spoiler: GoodAllAlong]]: Played straight and subverted: [[spoiler: He wants to control the witches and prevent them from doing magic because they were willing to sacrifice four teenage girls (and did sucessfully sacrifice three) as well as hexing a young man to go on a killing spree. Marcel is obviously disgusted by the act, and this disgust at what they did certainly played a role in his rescue of Davina and the restrictions on witchcraft.]] However, it is subverted in that [[spoiler: he also wanted to prevent the massacre to keep the witches from gaining another source of power.]]
* TheGoodKing: Tends to be fair, if not stern. And is willing to swallow his pride and [[spoiler: swear his loyalty to Klaus, in order to stop the slaughter of his people.]]
* HasAType: Blondes, possible due to his first love [[spoiler: Rebekah]].
* HeroAntagonist: While 'hero' is a bit of a stretch, it's not hard to imagine how Marcel could be seen as a more heroic figure than Klaus or the witches. From Marcel's point of view he's a vampire king with loyal followers who he treats like extended family, an adopted daughter he loves [[spoiler: and saved]], running a city in a fairly legitimate (for a vampire) fashion that doesn't clearly disadvantage the humans. His rivals are the witches [[spoiler: who are willing to sacrifice teenage girls for power]] and his sire and father-figure Klaus, who is sadistic, volatile and prefers to rule by fear rather than respect.
* IControlMyMinionsThrough: Loyalty, apparently. Most of them respect Marcel and the city he has maintained and/or love him because he saved their lives (like Thierry).
* IChooseToStay: When [[spoiler: Rebekah]] decides to leave Town. Marcel despite being Exiled and losing his power base decides to stay to fight for his home..
* IHateYouVampireDad: Zig-zagged with Klaus. Though he expresses some resentment with his father-figure he also appears to genuinely care for him.
* KnightInShiningArmor[=/=]TheChampion: Towards Davina, after he [[spoiler:rescued her from the witches.]] This is even lampshaded by Klaus.
* [[spoiler: LastOfHisKind]]: [[spoiler: One of the few non-Original, non-hybrid vampire left in the main cast and the Qiuarter, after the events of the season finale.]]
* LikeASonToMe: Marcel was this to Klaus, and Marcel has his own "child" in Davina.
* OverprotectiveDad: To Davina, though of course he has reasons to be considering [[spoiler: all of the witches want to kill her.]]
* PetTheDog: Towards Davina, especially after he [[spoiler: saved her from the witches.]] Also, towards Josh, though this isn't entirely out of altruism.
** Also towards Hayley, when he discovered alone after her parents where slaughtered instead of claiming her as a bargaining chip against the Werewolves he attempted to send her away to safety.
* PragmaticVillainy: While he is more then happy to organize a feeding frenzy to keep his Nightwalkers happy, he is practical enough to keep their meals alive and then heal, mindwipe, and release them. After all you can't keep feeding on tourist's if they stop coming to Town. Also, while he knows the Originals are a threat, he prefers to hold going against them unless he really has to, or he has an edge on them. It's also revealed that he has an (apparently fairly successful) arrangement with the humans of the French Quarter that allows him and his vampires to operate but also keeps the humans (relatively) safe.
* ThePowerOfLove: Marcel claims this is the reasons his followers are so loyal to him despite Klaus' superior strength.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Klaus, after [[spoiler: Marcel is forced to turn over his kingdom to the hybrid.]] Marcel says that Klaus will never have the loyal followers Marcel does, because Klaus tries to force love out of people. Marcel adds that while Klaus taught him many things, he had to figure out for himself that loyalty is both respect and love, because Klaus himself has never understood this.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Generally, yes. He's a competent and approachable leader, and though he's strict about his rules his subjects seem exceptionally loyal to him.
* TokenMinority: The only black character.
* VampireMonarch: An assumed position (Marcel took the reigns after the Originals fled the Quarter), but his rule is stable and his followers are loyal.

* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: As of 1x13; although being a part of TheVampireDiaries universe, death is not always final.]]
** [[spoiler: The actress has apparently moved on to another show, and her name is no longer part of the main credits. Look's like her death is pretty much final..]]
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:She didn't believe in the Harvest Ritual even though her sister, Jane-Anne did. Due to the events that happened, three girls died, including Monique, Jane-Anne's daughter, while Davina got away. If Davina doesn't die, then none of them will resurrect, meaning Jane-Anne sacrificed her daughter for nothing. It is to this end that the entire show's plot came to place. Jane-Anne gave her life so Sophie could find and kill Davina to bring back the sacrifices, including Monique, of whom is the reason Sophie is blaming herself for everything going wrong and the motivation for trying to fix it.]]
* TheResistance: She represents the Witch's rebelling against Marcel, or so it seems, but it's really more complicated then that.
* TookALevelInBadass: While originally a fun loving, partying borderline hippie who had a casual relationship [[spoiler: with Marcel.]] . She has become a competent Witch, who is the playing the Originals in a almost fanatical single aim to hunt down and kill [[spoiler: Davina]]. Due to her focus and determination , Elijah has labelled her one of the more dangerous players in the battle for New Orleans, because she is someone with nothing to lose..
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Sophie is a bit puzzled as to why Klaus just doesn't rip out Marcel heart on the spot. It takes Rebekah to reveal that Marcel is the nearest thing Klaus has to a son.

Her motivation for finding out what makes a person good or evil and the primary reason she returns to New Orleans is to find out why her twin brother Sean went mad and slaughtered all the people in his choir and then himself, especially since Sean had no signs of mental breakdown or anything of the sort before it happened.[[spoiler: It turns out that the witch Agnes hexed him to go crazy so he Would be a distraction for her uncle, Father Kieran, while the witches proceeded with their Harvest Ritual that he was against.

[[spoiler:She was chosen to sacrifice herself along with three other girls in a Harvest Ritual that was to keep the New Orleans Witches in contact with their Ancestral Magic. Though they downplayed the killing part, it was supposed to lead to their resurrection. Though such a promise means little in the face of traumatic slaughter with no real guarantee they'd come back alive, so you could imagine her reasons for fighting that fate once she learned the truth.]]
* SugarAndIcePersonality: Though she often appears aloof and cold, she has been shown to soften around people she knows better (especially Marcel and her childhood friend, Tim and new friend Josh).
* WhenSheSmiles: Understandably, tends to wear a suspicious scowl when around strangers. Also the Ice aspect of her personality makes her seem cool and aloof. However when she smiles and laughs you remember she's just a teenager looking for some kind of normal.
* UnskilledButStrong: Very powerful, but lacks in skill due to her youth and the circumstances she came to gain her powers in the first place.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"I want to be King."'']]
->'''Played By:''' Joseph Morgan
->'''Rebekah:''' Klaus may be a miserable excuse for a sibling but there is none more diabolical.
Klaus is a 1,000+ year old hybrid, who is half vampire and half werewolf. Originally, Klaus, like all of the other Original vampires, was born a human until Esther and Mikael bestowed the curse of vampirism/immortality onto him and the rest of his siblings.
----
* AboveGoodAndEvil: How Klaus sees himself.
* AffablyEvil: To Camille, when he wants to be.
* AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Hayley used to find him irresistible.
* [[AlphaBitch Alpha Bastard]]
* AmbitionIsEvil: Klaus achieves his goals and plans through underhanded means.
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: To Elijah.
* AntiVillain: Klaus is [[NobleDemon Type I]] and [[WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds Type II]].
* ArchnemesisDad: While not related to each other biologically, Klaus did raise Marcel like a son but they schemed to kill one another. It's also what Klaus fears his offspring will see him as.
* AwesomeMcCoolname: "Niklaus is the name my father gave me. Please, call me Klaus."
* AxCrazy: Klaus is the epitome of psychologically unstable, and he is rather dangerous. Klaus is capable of extreme violence and murderous rage, especially if he is crossed.
* {{Badass}}: Klaus is the most powerful being on the planet. He is a hybrid after all (vampire/werewolf). Because of this, he's extra strong and badass.
** BadassBoast: Basically all of the time. When is Klaus not boasting?
** BadassInCharge: He's the Vampire King of New Orleons.
** CulturedBadass: Klaus seems to enjoy the finer and expensive things in life. Not to mention that Klaus loves art (he even draws himself!).
** HeartbrokenBadass: Klaus has had quite a bit of heartbreak along the way.
** TookALevelInBadass: Seems to be even more badass than he was before on ''Series/TheVampireDiaries''.

* BastardBoyfriend
* BelligerentSexualTension: With both Hayley and Camille so far.
* TheBerserker: Klaus is very impulsive and throws himself amidst violence without a second thought.
* BerserkButton: Never defy him, screw with one of his plans, and if you try to kill him and fail, you'd better start to run as fast as you can. Most importantly, no one, '''no one''' but him is allowed to hurt his loved ones, unless he gives you his consensus. And if he does, ''follow the plan to the letter''.
** Also, ''do not betray him. Ever.''
* BigBad: Arguably, for this series.
** BigBadFriend: To Marcel and Camille.
* BlackSheep: Klaus is this to his family, especially to his father Mikael. He doesn't really fit in and he seems to be ostracized by most of them.
* BlondGuysAreEvil: Blondish.
* BloodKnight: Klaus has shown to be very violent and he gets a thrill out of fighting.
* BreakoutVillain: Klaus was a very popular character on ''The Vampire Diaries'', hence why he was given his own series, ''The Originals''.
* BritishAccents: Klaus has a British accent due to Joseph Morgan originally hailing from Britain.
* CainAndAbel: Klaus is the Cain to Elijah's Abel.
* TheCasanova: Klaus likes to charm women, manipulate them, use them and than dump them.....or kill them.
* TheCharmer: Comes with being The Casanova and being a ManipulativeBastard.
* TheChessmaster: Klaus is very intelligent, manipulative and scheming.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: Klaus will never hesitate to backstab anyone, literally. Klaus has stabbed and daggered his entire family.
* ChronicVillainy: Klaus just can't help himself from committing bad or evil acts. Sometimes one wonders if he is capable of changing or being truly redeemed.
* ComedicSociopathy: Klaus is sociopathic and manipulative but he can be very funny and witty at the same time even amidst committing immoral acts.
* CorruptTheCutie: Subverted. His interactions with Camille pull her dangerously close to the actual conflict of the series, but he seems to be aware of this and wants her out of harm's way.
* CrazyJealousGuy: Klaus has a strong jealous and envious streak.
* CrazyPrepared: Klaus ''always'' has a plan. And if Plan A doesn't work out, then a Plan B, and a Plan C, etc.
* CurbStompBattle: Put it this way: Marcel's vampire army ''did not stand a chance against Klaus.''
* DangerouslyGenreSavvy
* DarkAndTroubledPast
* DarkIsEvil: Klaus is seen wearing a lot of darker clothing, particularly black.
* DarkMessiah: Klaus is ''the'' only Original Hybrid on the planet, making him extremely powerful and dangerous.
* DeadpanSnarker: Klaus may be the bad guy, but he's still got his share of witty comebacks, lines and phrases.
* TheDeterminator: Klaus '''NEVER''' gives up when he has a goal, agenda or plan that he wishes to achieve.
* DisproportionateRetribution: His punishment towards anyone who displeases him in the slightest.
* DontYouDarePityMe: Hates when people feel sorry for him.
* TheDreaded: Marcel's vampires are very, very nervous about the idea of him running loose in New Orleans.
* DudeWheresMyRespect: All Klaus has ever wanted was loyalty and respect from others, especially from his own family.
* EvenEvilHasLovedOnes: Even though Klaus is a villain, he has been shown to be capable of love and affection.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Seemed genuinely horrified when Caroline asked if he was going to kill her on her birthday.
* EvilBrit: Klaus has a British accent due to Joseph Morgan being from Britain.
* EvilFeelsGood[=/=]EvilIsCool[=/=]EvilIsSexy
* EvilGenius: Klaus is very intelligent, strategic and manipulative.
* EvilGloating: When is Klaus not gloating? It could practically be his middle name (if he were to have one).
* EvilIsHammy: Klaus is not always subtle and can be rather grandiose and over the top in his actions and mannerisms.
* EvilIsPetty: His occasional and casual cruelty speak for itself.
* EvilTastesGood: Well, Klaus ''is'' a vampire and a werewolf.
* FallenHero: If you look back at when Klaus was human, he was actually a kind, gentle soul who loved to have fun. All that changed when he felt responsible and blamed himself for the death of his younger brother Henrik, became a vampire and unleashed his werewolf side as well.
* FakeAmerican: Klaus was born in what would become Mystic Falls in the 11th century. In real life, Joseph Morgan is from Britain.
* FakeNationality: See FakeAmerican.
* FauxAffablyEvil: Klaus is the only man who can politely smile while making you stab yourself over and over again for his own pleasure and amusement.
* FireForgedFriends: With Marcel.
* FirstOfItsKind: Klaus is the very first Original Hybrid.
* {{Foil}}: To Elijah. Klaus is the immoral brother and Elijah is the moral brother. This mirrors the brother dynamic between the Salvatore brothers (with Klaus and Elijah paralleling Damon and Stefan respectively).
* ForTheEvulz: Klaus will gleefully torture or kill anyone if it benefits his plans or even amuses him.
* FreudianTrio: Is part of five, actually. In promotional material, he's [[TheMcCoy the Id]] to [[TheSpock Elijah's]] Superego and [[TheKirk Rebekah's]] Ego.
** In ''The Vampire Diaries'' 3.15, he's [[TheKirk the Ego]] to [[TheMcCoy Kol's]] Id and [[TheSpock Elijah's]] Superego.
** In ''The Vampire Diaries'' 4.17, he's [[TheSpock the Superego]] to [[TheMcCoy Caroline's]] Id and [[TheKirk Stefan's]] Ego.
** In the LoveTriangle he's part of, he's [[TheSpock the Superego]] to [[TheMcCoy Tyler's]] Id and [[TheKirk Caroline's]] Ego.
** He's could also be seen as [[TheMcCoy the Id]] to Marcel's [[TheSpock Superego]] and Camille's [[TheKirk Ego]].
* GenerationXerox: Klaus has a lot more in common with Mikael than he would like to think or believe.
* AGodAmI: "I want to be King."
* GodzillaThreshold: Klaus is this for the witches of New Orleans. They're so desperate to end Marcel's tyranny that they summon an Original vampire into their hometown just to even the odds.
* HairTriggerTemper: Klaus is very quick tempered and gets angered very easily.
* HandsomeDevil
* HandsomeLech
* HasAType: Seems to have a "thing" for girls with blonde hair and blue eyes. Caroline and Camille anyone?
* HeterosexualLifePartners: With Stefan (back in the 1920's).
* HotBlooded: Klaus is very impulsive, brash and hot headed.
* HumiliationConga: Has gone through this a lot all within a span of only 9 episodes.
* IAmNotMyFather: Becoming like Mikael is Klaus' worse nightmare. Ironically, Klaus and Mikael share a lot of traits in common.
* IJustWantToHaveFriends: Seemingly a large part of his desire to create [[spoiler: his own race]]. In season three, he bitterly refers to [[spoiler: Stefan]] as his only companion. Of course, any sympathy this might evoke rather vanishes when one remembers that the reason ''why'' he's so alone is he murdered his entire family.
* {{Immortality}}: Klaus is an Original vampire/hybrid. He is capable of living forever without physically aging. Although he physically looks like someone in their 20's, he is actually over 1,000 years old. He cannot die under normal circumstances.
** Klaus is Type V: TheUndead. He is a living dead person.
** He's also Type X: LifeDrinker.
* IneffectualSympatheticVillain
* InformedAttribute: Klaus will let you know that he's a hybrid, even though he has only transformed into a wolf once.
* InsaneEqualsViolent: Klau can be crazy, vicious and murderous when he wants to be.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Klaus is the epitome of selfish and everything is all about him; his pain, his power and his agenda.
* {{Jerkass}} --> JerkassFacade: OH SO MUCH.
** JerkassDissonance
* JokerImmunity: Has developed this because of his statuses as BreakoutVillain, EnsembleDarkhorse and CreatorsPet.
* KickTheMoralityPet: He cares for Camille and is concerned about her safety in the upcoming war. That doesn't stop him from mind-wiping her once she's served his needs.
* KnightOfCerebus
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: To Rebekah.
* LackOfEmpathy: To a great extent.
* LargeHam: Klaus can be rather over the top at times, especially when he gets angry and throws a tantrum.
* LikeASonToMe: Marcel is like a son to Klaus. He practically raised him.
* LoveInterest: Caroline is his. Whether she reciprocates is [[ShipTease deba]][[FoeYay table]].
* ManOfWealthAndTaste
* ManipulativeBastard[=/=]MagnificentBastard: Klaus is always manipulating somebody in order to achieve his goal or agenda.
* MeaningfulName: Niklaus (which is the German or Scandinavian version of Nicholas) means ''"victory of the people"''. It is derived from the Greek Nikolaos (ΝικÏŒλαος).
* MindRape: Does this to Camille so she doesn't remember any of their talks.
* MonsterLord: Klaus is the Original Hybrid and has created hybrids himself.
* MonsterSobStory: Although he's the villain, the flashbacks of his human life have managed to give some viewers a more sympathetic point of view for Klaus.
* NinjaPirateRobotZombie: He's a [[spoiler: werewolf ''and'' a vampire]].
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: The Roguish to Elijah's Noble.
* ObviouslyEvil: Klaus fit this trope in season two. That was until we were given more insight into his character in season three.
* OhCrap: It's very subtle, but Klaus has this expression on his face when [[spoiler: Silas sneaks up on him...]]
* PapaWolf
* PetTheDog: His moments with Camille count. In the beginning of the series, he was much kinder to Hayley.
* PermaStubble: Justified because he's probably never shaved and his hair doesn't grow.
** Actually vampires in the series can grow hair and beards, recent flashbacks show Elijah with facial hair even though he was somewhat clean shaven when first turned.
* PlotArmor: Despite virtually everyone in the cast constantly trying to kill him, and coming ridiclously close to being KilledOffForReal several times, the writers won't let him die. [[spoiler: That is, until "Before Sunset", when he is ''finally'' put into a death-like torpor via the same spell that bound Mikael.]] [[spoiler: But in the next episode he's back up again, though in a new body]]
* PowerTrio: See FreudianTrio above.
* PsychopathicManchild: Klaus definitely qualifies, especially when he is angered and lashes out at others.
* PsychoticSmirk
* [[ReallySevenHundredYearsOld Really One Thousand Years Old]]: Klaus was born in the 10th century. He is also immortal.
* RedOniBlueOni: Klaus is definitely the Red to Elijah's Blue. Klaus is much more passionate while Elijah is much more stoic.
* SavvyGuyEnergeticGirl: Klaus is the Savvy Guy to Camille's Energetic Girl.
* SharpDressedMan
* TranquilFury: [[spoiler: After Genevieve reveals to Klaus that Rebekah used to her to summon Mikael to New Orleans, he doesn't explode like he usually dies. He continues to taunt and threaten Rebekah with a calm, chilling tone....]]
* TrueCompanions: With his siblings, despite everything they've done to each other.
* SmugSmiler
* TheSociopath: Despite all his claims to not wanting to be alone, Klaus gleefully murders his own family members without regret or remorse. The only times he ever seems upset is when things go wrong for him on a personal level.
* TheStrategist: Everything that Klaus does is strategic.
* TroubledButCute
* UndyingLoyalty: Klaus desires this from others more than anybody, especially from his family. Too bad he always manages to destroy every chance of it happening.
* TheUnfavourite: His father, Mikael, hated him and had a preference for Elijah over him. The dynamic between Klaus and Elijah mirrors that of Damon and Stefan, with Klaus as Damon and Elijah as Stefan. Like Damon, Klaus was also the un-favourite son and like Stefan, Elijah was the favourite son.
** Unlike Damon, however, Mikael's favoritism of Elijah was because [[spoiler: Klaus isn't his biological son.]] However, he treated him like scum even before discovering that.
* UngratefulBastard
* TheUnfettered: Klaus doesn't care about morals and he is very ruthless; he will do anything and everything to achieve his desired goal or agenda, even if innocent people end up in danger or get killed. It also completely un-fazes him when someone gets killed.
* VampiresAreSexGods
* VampireMonarch: Klaus is the Vampire King of New Orleans.
* VillainousBreakdown: In 1.07, after Elijah accuses him of trying to use his baby's blood to create hybrids. It's mild compared to some of the more epic tantrums he's had, but it does end with him ''biting Elijah.''
* VillainousCrush: For Caroline of course.
* VillainProtagonist: Is this for this series.
* WeCanRuleTogether: Klaus' plan ends with him becoming the de facto ruler of New Orleans along with his siblings.
** Offers the same thing to Marcel in the mid-season finale when he asks Marcel to help him rule New Orleans together.
* [[WhenSheSmiles When He Smiles]]: He does grin and smirk sardonically, mischievously or [[PsychoticSmirk psychotically]] quite a lot, but his genuine smiles are quite the sight. So far in this series, the only time he's smiled like this is when Hayley tells him that she thinks their baby is going to be a girl.
* WickedCultured
* WoobieDestroyerOfWorlds: Caroline seems to think so. Stefan also agrees, but it doesn't stop him from trying to backstab him everytime he has the chance. The fact that he was constantly belittled by his father and cursed and shunned by his mother does bring up an interesting case.
* WouldHitAGirl
* WouldHurtAChild: Poor Tim...
* WroteTheBook
--> '''Caroline''': "Why do you always have to prove you're the alpha male?"
--> '''Klaus''': "I don't have to prove anything, love, I AM the alpha male!"

->'''Played By:''' Daniel Gillies
An Original vampire, Elijah is the most sophisticated, noble and moral member of his family. He alternately works for Klaus and against him throughout the series. He was once in love with Katherine and tried to save her from his brother but she betrayed him. Elijah follows Klaus to New Orleans, convinced that there's a trap waiting for him. Once he finds out about Hayley being pregnant, he stays with his siblings in the hopes that Klaus' child will finally bring him some measure of peace and redeem him.
----
* AffablyEvil: He's an intelligent, charming man who strongly believes in honor and loyalty but he has a dark, dangerous side and he'd be able to kill whenever it suits his needs.
* AloofBigBrother: To Klaus, Finn, Kol, and Rebekah.
* AntiVillain: [[NobleDemon Type I]], with shades of [[KnightInSourArmor Type III]].
* AscendedExtra: All the Originals vampires became increasingly more important in the story, but Elijah is a particularly extreme example. Julie Plec admits that Daniel Gillies performance and the pull of Elijah's character inspired the writers to make the Originals un-killable to keep him around. And he was originally just a "foot soldier" before being made into Klaus's brother.
* {{Badass}}: He's Klaus's equal on the vampire totem pole, ''vastly'' above and beyond the likes of Stefan and Damon.
** BadassBoast: Just as much as Klaus.
** CulturedBadass: Elijah comes from wealth and is highly sophisticated.
** HeartbrokenBadass: Elijah has faced heartache in regards to both love and his family. He hasn't been lucky in either department.
* BerserkButton: Don't harm or kill any one of Elijah's family. He will get revenge.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Elijah is usually defined as the most noble out of Klaus and Rebekah but is not afraid to showcase his vicious side when his family is threatened. Which Agnes discovered the hard way.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Towards Klaus and Rebekah.
* CainAndAbel: Elijah is the Abel to Klaus' Cain.
* CanonForeigner: He does not appear in the books.

* DangerouslyGenreSavvy: Elijah is the most aware of them all and he always knows what's going on.

* DudeWheresMyRespect: See BadassBoast above.
* EvenEvilHasStandards: Even though Elijah has done immoral things, he is still considered to be rather honourable, noble and moral by nature. Elijah was extremely noble during his human life.

* TheFettered: Elijah is known to be a very moral, honourable person by nature.
* {{Foil}}: To Klaus. Klaus is the immoral brother and Elijah is the moral brother. See RedOniBlueOni and NobleMaleRoguishMale.

* HeelRealization[=/=]IAmAMonster: After threatening Elena, he comes to agree with his mother's view of him as an abomination.
* HiddenHeartOfGold
* HonorBeforeReason: Elijah is a highly noble, honourable person. Elijah seems to value the concept of honour, and expects it from anyone else who gives him their word. [[spoiler: Part of the reason why he broke his oath with the New Orleans witches is because they weren't honest about their true intentions towards Klaus or Hayley.]]
* HotGuysAreBastards
* IGaveMyWord: He swears to protect Hayley and her child from Klaus.
* {{Immortality}}: Elijah is an Original vampire. He is capable of living forever without physically aging. Although he is in his late 20's, he is technically over 1,000 years old. He cannot die under normal circumstances.
** Elijah is Type V: TheUndead. He is a living dead person. He's also Type X: LifeDrinker.
* {{Jerkass}} --> JerkassFacade
** JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Especially in the beginning. Elijah came off as cold and uncaring but he's actually rather moral and honourable by nature.
* KnightTemplar
* KnightTemplarBigBrother: To both Rebekah and Klaus. He is highly protective of both of them.
* {{Kuudere}}: Elijah is Type I.
* ManOfWealthAndTaste
* ManipulativeBastard: He doesn't even need to use compulsion to get people to do what he wants.
* NervesOfSteel
* NeverHurtAnInnocent: He definitely tries to adhere to this. Notably the only vampire not seen feeding on a human at any point.
* NobleDemon: He is reluctant to kill anyone and has a strong sense of nobility, honourability and morals, but he commits some immoral and morally questionable acts in order to preserve and protect the one thing he values the most: his family. However, despite his claim to nobility, he has ruthless killed many people for little reason, Trevor who was only asking for forgiveness was mercilessly decapitated and Slater, just for talking to Damon and Rose was compel by Elijah to kill himself.
* NobleMaleRoguishMale: Elijah is the Noble Male to Klaus' Roguish Male.
* OnlySaneMan: Likes to think he is but this honor goes to Finn, though Elijah would be next in line, especially compared to Klaus, Kol and Rebekah.
* PowerTrio: See TheSpock below.
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Elijah is an Original vampire who is really 1,000 years old and was born during the 10th century.
* RedOniBlueOni: Elijah is the Blue to Klaus' Red. Klaus is impulsive while Elijah is more logical.
* RoaringRampageOfRevenge: [[spoiler: After Celeste reveals herself and kidnaps Rebekah and Klaus, Elijah vows to kill all the witches in the French Quarter.]]

* SiblingYinYang: Elijah is the opposite of Klaus in terms of personality, outlook, values and beliefs. While Elijah is more moral, noble and upstanding, Klaus is more impulsive, immoral and reckless.
* SharpDressedMan: Elijah never fails to look dapper, neatly dressed and well-put together in his finest suits.
* SophisticatedAsHell: Elijah is the epitome of chic and fashionable.
-->''"I'm a little behind the times but I believe the term you're looking for is 'OMG'."''
* TheSpock: Both to Rebekah's [[TheKirk Kirk]] and Klaus' [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] in promotional material and to Kol's [[TheMcCoy McCoy]] and Klaus' [[TheKirk Kirk]] in 3x15.
* TheStoic: Elijah is very calm, composed and collected, even when he gets angry.
** NotSoStoic: [[spoiler: When the witches tried to kill Hayley's baby, Elijah is constantly on the verge of a full-blown panic attack. This also serves as a clue as to how deep his feelings for her have become.]]
** And then there's his ''wail'' of anguish [[spoiler: after he finds the body of his witch lover Celeste.]]
* SuperStrength: Even by vampire standards, he's extremely strong and can rip other vampires' heads off with little effort. Justified because he is not a normal vampire but an original.
* TallDarkAndHandsome: Elijah is the epitome of being classically handsome and dapper.
* TallDarkAndSnarky
* TranquilFury: Even when Elijah gets angry or enraged, he is so calm and stoic.
* TroubledButCute
* UndyingLoyalty: To his entire family of course. There is nothing that he wouldn't do for them. Elijah always puts his family above everything.
* VillainBall: Sometimes family comes first to him, even if it means sparing/helping his murderous siblings.
* WellIntentionedExtremist: Elijah tries to do the right thing by being loyal to his family but some of his methods can be rather extreme. In most instances, Elijah's heart is in the right place.
* WickedCultured: All the Originals can qualify, but mostly Elijah being the most sophisticated member of the family.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"I should never have come back here."'']]
->'''Played By:''' Creator/ClaireHolt
An Original vampire, Rebekah is the only daughter of the Original family. She had a romance with Stefan in the 1920s. Klaus staked her when she chose Stefan over him. She was unstaked by Klaus in an effort to find out why his hybrids were failing. Her cruel nature masks her emotional insecurity. Originally, Rebekah declined to come to New Orleans, and only showed up because [[ProperlyParanoid she was convinced that Elijah had gotten in trouble due to his need to redeem Klaus.]] She says she wants to leave, but events conspire to keep her in this city that has such bittersweet memories for her.
----
* ActionFashionista: Rebekah can kick ass. And normally she's doing it in rather expensive and chic clothing.

* BettyAndVeronica: The Veronica to Camille's Betty for Marcel's Archie.
* BlondesAreEvil: Not evil, but still aggressive, cruel, spiteful and vindictive.
* BreakTheCutie: Her past qualifies.
* BrutalHonesty: All the time.
* CallingTheOldManOut: Rebekah to Mikael.
* CanonForeigner: Rebekah as a character doesn't exist in the novel series.
* ChronicBackstabbingDisorder: A common victim of this, it makes the fact that she's so bitchy understandable because she probably has problems trusting anyone.
* ClingyJealousGirl: With Stefan in ''Series/TheVampireDiaries'' and now with Marcel on ''The Originals''.
* DarkActionGirl
* TheDarkChick
* DeadpanSnarker: Not as much as her brothers but she certainly has her witty moments.
* TheDeterminator
* EntitledBitch
* EvenEvilHasStandards: She's all for [[spoiler: betraying Klaus and keeping him locked away to rot for eternity, but she draws the line at anyone hurting Hayley's baby.]]
* EvilCannotComprehendGood: Seems genuinely baffled as to why Matt would offer her a ride home without a hidden motive, believing that it can't be due to his just being kind. Matt seems to find this sad more than anything.

* EvilIsPetty: Her brothers are schemers and manipulators with big plans. Rebekah seems content with being as unpleasant as possible to people she doesn't like, namely Elena.

* {{Foil}}: To Camille.
* GirlyBruiser: Very feminine but won't hesitate to kick ass whenever possible.
* GirlyGirl: Rebekah is really feminine and enjoys all the girly things including fashion.
* HelloNurse
* HiddenDepths: Despite her aggressive nature, Rebekah has shown to be emotionally fragile. She very much wants to be like a normal teenager, and longs to have the normal teenage life she missed out on. Before being turned into a vampire, she used to be a sweet and normal girl, as seen in the flashbacks.
* HotGirlsAreBitches
* IDidWhatIHadToDo: She actually does have a good reason for basically abandoning Marcel in New Orleans. Mostly because [[ArchnemesisDad Mikael]] had rolled into town and laid siege to their home and for all appearances [[{{NeverFoundTheBody}} it appeared that Marcel had perished]] in the fire that lit up half of the Quarter..
* IJustWantToBeLoved: The girl will go to some very self-destructive ends for even the slightest amount of affection.

* LoveMartyr: In regards to Klaus and her family OH SO MUCH. Even when Klaus treated Rebekah like crap for centuries, she still never stopped loving him and remained loyal to him no matter what. She seems to be growing more of a backbone in regards to Klaus and his behavior as of recently though.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"I'm not the prince of the Quarter, friend. I'm the KING! Show me some RESPECT!"'']]
->'''Played By:''' Charles Michael Davis
->''"Guess I'm what you call a necessary evil."''
The current ruler of all supernatural life in New Orleans. Took over the city while Klaus and his siblings were run [[{{NoodleIncident}} out of Town by their father over one hundred years ago.]] He is charming, intelligent, ruthless, and cunning. He was turned by Klaus back in the day, however he spent over a decade under Klaus' house as his adopted son. Unsurprisingly, this makes their current relationship [[{{Understatement}} a touch complex.]]
----
* AffablyEvil: He can be charming, giving, and an all round fun guy. As long as everything runs smoothly and nobody forgets whose in charge...if so this can lead to his BerserkButton.
* AFatherToHisMen: Considers himself this to his soldiers. Main more evident when [[spoiler: his soldiers turned down Klaus offer to switch sides.]] Also made evident when he decided to [[spoiler: bend his knee in surrender rather then go down fighting, in order to save his outmatched soldiers.]]
* AintTooProudToBeg: [[spoiler: Pledged his allegiance and surrendered his kingdom to Klaus after his disastrous attempt at [[capturing and imprisoning the hybrid.]]
* AmbiguouslyEvil: While his methods are brutal and he shows little mercy towards his enemies Marcel could be considered this as his enemies, the witches [[spoiler: sacrifice children]] and his relationship with the human population is fairly reasonable (though sometimes strained).
* AntiVillain: Type I; Marcel is ruthless and willing to resort to extremely violent means to accomplish his goals, but he mentions he has limits. He won't feed on children, and [[spoiler: compared to the witches he could be considered the lesser of two evils.]]
* BelligerentSexualTension: With Rebekah.
* BenevolentBoss: The vampires in town are quite loyal towards him, and Marcel views his inner circle as family. He displays some affection even towards the nightwalkers (vampires not in the inner circle) by allowing them parties to blow off steam. He showed willingness to allow Thierry to continue his relationship with a witch, and only [[spoiler: imprisoned him in the Garden when Klaus manipulated the situation to appear as if Thierry was planning on betraying Marcel.]] In 1X08 Marcel's leadership qualities are displayed next to Klaus' for full efffect. While Klaus threatens to torture his enemies for eternity, Marcel calmly tells his followers that he'll understand if they switch sides.
* BerserkButton: Challenge him, and by extension his rule, and you get to see the less charming side. Also, like his mentor, and father figure Klaus, he takes disloyalty extremely personal.
* BigBad: Is set up as this for The Originals. Though as the episodes pass and the BlackAndGrayMorality show, this trope seems to be muddled somewhat. The competition that Klaus ends up bringing doesn't help.
* BigBrotherInstinct: Is fiercely protective of Davina and will risk anything to for her. Be it his Kingdom or his own life.
* BotheringByTheBook: When he figures out that [[{{TheMole}} Josh is working for Klaus under compulsion]] his first instinct is to kill him, then he notes that would be breaking his own rules. However he does come up with a better [[{{ReverseMole}} better plan instead...]]
* TheCharmer: While he does seek a solid relationship with Rebekah, technically speaking he has managed to have sexual relations with Sophia , Celeste (technically), and Camille.
* TheDeterminator: Is a survivor and a fighter, traits that Klaus saw in himself.
* DevilInPlainSight: Quite literally in regards to the Original vampires, but subverted when it is shown that he has a fairly decent arrangement with the humans of the Quarter.
* EnemyMine: With Father Kieran. Though Kieran doesn't particularly like Marcel, he once came to him for help when [[spoiler: the witches were planning on slaughtering four girls for the Harvest ceremony.]]
* EvenEvilHasStandards: He won't feed on children and he is openly disgusted [[spoiler: by the witches' plans to slaughter their daughters to gain more power.]]
* [[spoiler: GoodAllAlong]]: Played straight and subverted: [[spoiler: He wants to control the witches and prevent them from doing magic because they were willing to sacrifice four teenage girls (and did sucessfully sacrifice three) as well as hexing a young man to go on a killing spree. Marcel is obviously disgusted by the act, and this disgust at what they did certainly played a role in his rescue of Davina and the restrictions on witchcraft.]] However, it is subverted in that [[spoiler: he also wanted to prevent the massacre to keep the witches from gaining another source of power.]]
* TheGoodKing: Tends to be fair, if not stern. And is willing to swallow his pride and [[spoiler: swear his loyalty to Klaus, in order to stop the slaughter of his people.]]
* HasAType: Blondes, possible due to his first love [[spoiler: Rebekah]].
* HeroAntagonist: While 'hero' is a bit of a stretch, it's not hard to imagine how Marcel could be seen as a more heroic figure than Klaus or the witches. From Marcel's point of view he's a vampire king with loyal followers who he treats like extended family, an adopted daughter he loves [[spoiler: and saved]], running a city in a fairly legitimate (for a vampire) fashion that doesn't clearly disadvantage the humans. His rivals are the witches [[spoiler: who are willing to sacrifice teenage girls for power]] and his sire and father-figure Klaus, who is sadistic, volatile and prefers to rule by fear rather than respect.
* IControlMyMinionsThrough: Loyalty, apparently. Most of them respect Marcel and the city he has maintained and/or love him because he saved their lives (like Thierry).
* IChooseToStay: When [[spoiler: Rebekah]] decides to leave Town. Marcel despite being Exiled and losing his power base decides to stay to fight for his home..
* IHateYouVampireDad: Zig-zagged with Klaus. Though he expresses some resentment with his father-figure he also appears to genuinely care for him.
* KnightInShiningArmor[=/=]TheChampion: Towards Davina, after he [[spoiler:rescued her from the witches.]] This is even lampshaded by Klaus.
* [[spoiler: LastOfHisKind]]: [[spoiler: One of the few non-Original, non-hybrid vampire left in the main cast and the Qiuarter, after the events of the season finale.]]
* LikeASonToMe: Marcel was this to Klaus, and Marcel has his own "child" in Davina.
* OverprotectiveDad: To Davina, though of course he has reasons to be considering [[spoiler: all of the witches want to kill her.]]
* PetTheDog: Towards Davina, especially after he [[spoiler: saved her from the witches.]] Also, towards Josh, though this isn't entirely out of altruism.
** Also towards Hayley, when he discovered alone after her parents where slaughtered instead of claiming her as a bargaining chip against the Werewolves he attempted to send her away to safety.
* PragmaticVillainy: While he is more then happy to organize a feeding frenzy to keep his Nightwalkers happy, he is practical enough to keep their meals alive and then heal, mindwipe, and release them. After all you can't keep feeding on tourist's if they stop coming to Town. Also, while he knows the Originals are a threat, he prefers to hold going against them unless he really has to, or he has an edge on them. It's also revealed that he has an (apparently fairly successful) arrangement with the humans of the French Quarter that allows him and his vampires to operate but also keeps the humans (relatively) safe.
* ThePowerOfLove: Marcel claims this is the reasons his followers are so loyal to him despite Klaus' superior strength.
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: To Klaus, after [[spoiler: Marcel is forced to turn over his kingdom to the hybrid.]] Marcel says that Klaus will never have the loyal followers Marcel does, because Klaus tries to force love out of people. Marcel adds that while Klaus taught him many things, he had to figure out for himself that loyalty is both respect and love, because Klaus himself has never understood this.
* ReasonableAuthorityFigure: Generally, yes. He's a competent and approachable leader, and though he's strict about his rules his subjects seem exceptionally loyal to him.
* TokenMinority: The only black character.
* VampireMonarch: An assumed position (Marcel took the reigns after the Originals fled the Quarter), but his rule is stable and his followers are loyal.

->'''Played By:''' Daniella Pineda
A witch residing in New Orleans determined to wrest the City back from Marcel by any means, currently aligned with the Originals. She is protected from the Originals by a spell her sister cast, linking her life force to Haley. While mostly moral, her thirst for vengeance against the vampire that [[spoiler: killed her sister]] may lead her taking [[{{KnightTemplar}} more extreme and ruthless decisions.]] To say nothing about what we find out later…
----
* AloofDarkHairedGirl
* AmbiguouslyBi: A flashback shows her drunkenly kissing a girl.
* [[spoiler:BigBad: Though Marcel was presented as the show's BigBad at first, and though he isn't quite squeaky clean himself now, later events show that Sophie has her own personal agenda that might not necessarily be to take down Marcel.]]
* [[spoiler:EvilAllAlong: Though in practice, she's just showing that this show is filled to the brim with BlackAndGrayMorality and GrayAndGrayMorality.]]
** [[spoiler:"Evil" is an extreme way to describe her. Her plan has been to kill Davina, but only to complete The Harvest, which she believed would return the sacrificed witches, including her niece.]]
* ItsPersonal: While her actions are to free her people. She is also determined to make Marcel pay for [[spoiler: killing her sister in the middle of the Old Quarter, though it may not be quite that simple.]]
* [[spoiler:KilledOffForReal: As of 1x13; although being a part of TheVampireDiaries universe, death is not always final.]]
** [[spoiler: The actress has apparently moved on to another show, and her name is no longer part of the main credits. Look's like her death is pretty much final..]]
* MyGreatestFailure: [[spoiler:She didn't believe in the Harvest Ritual even though her sister, Jane-Anne did. Due to the events that happened, three girls died, including Monique, Jane-Anne's daughter, while Davina got away. If Davina doesn't die, then none of them will resurrect, meaning Jane-Anne sacrificed her daughter for nothing. It is to this end that the entire show's plot came to place. Jane-Anne gave her life so Sophie could find and kill Davina to bring back the sacrifices, including Monique, of whom is the reason Sophie is blaming herself for everything going wrong and the motivation for trying to fix it.]]
* TheResistance: She represents the Witch's rebelling against Marcel, or so it seems, but it's really more complicated then that.
* TookALevelInBadass: While originally a fun loving, partying borderline hippie who had a casual relationship [[spoiler: with Marcel.]] . She has become a competent Witch, who is the playing the Originals in a almost fanatical single aim to hunt down and kill [[spoiler: Davina]]. Due to her focus and determination , Elijah has labelled her one of the more dangerous players in the battle for New Orleans, because she is someone with nothing to lose..
* WhyDontYouJustShootHim: Sophie is a bit puzzled as to why Klaus just doesn't rip out Marcel heart on the spot. It takes Rebekah to reveal that Marcel is the nearest thing Klaus has to a son.

A bartender and psychology student who begins the series with no knowledge of the supernatural world. She is drawn to Klaus and is the object of Marcel's affections. Smart, brave, and obsessed with the line between good and evil, she quickly becomes entrapped in the war between the vampires in New Orleans. Her motivation for finding out what makes a person good or evil and the primary reason she returns to New Orleans is to find out why her twin brother Sean went mad and slaughtered all the people in his choir and then himself, especially since Sean had no signs of mental breakdown or anything of the sort before it happened.[[spoiler: It turns out that the witch Agnes hexed him to go crazy so he Would be a distraction for her uncle, Father Kieran, while the witches proceeded with their Harvest Ritual that he was against. Of course, she doesn't know this, and Klaus compelled her to forget about seeking the truth and just move on. It remains to be seen whether it will stick and for how long.]]

A sixteen year old ward of Marcel who currently resides in an attic above an abandoned Church. Remarkably powerful [[spoiler:due to absorbing the powers of three dead Witch girls by accident during a failed Harvest Ritual]], she is quite formidable albeit her youth and lack of experience is her weak spot. Devoted to Marcel [[spoiler:saved her from said ritual]], they share a brother\sister like relationship: he listens to her warning regarding the Old ones, and even hesitates to hand [[spoiler: over Elijah]] on her say so. Davina has an attitude to boot. Combined with her temper and impulsiveness, she's a wild card over the war for the Crown of King. It turns out that she and Marcel bonded so well because of their similarities. [[spoiler:In particular, her drive to fight back against all odds when in danger, even when it seems hopeless. In fact, her and Marcel's meeting was similar to Klaus and young Marcel's meeting in the past.]]

* AloofDarkHairedGirl
* [[spoiler: BackFromTheDead]]: Thanks to Marcel
* BewareTheNiceOnes
* TheChosenOne: Davina is the key to the Harvest, an event that will ensure the witches reconnect with their ancestors spirits and will thereby enhance their powers. However [[spoiler: Davina has to die for the Harvest to be completed.]]
* CuteBruiser
* CuteWitch: A pretty, powerful witch and the youngest of the main characters. She can qualify as a HotWitch since she's in her late teens.
* DeathGlare: When she hits you with it , you will go flying making it an almost literal death glare.
* TheDragon: To Marcel.
* GirlInTheTower: Or Church attic to be precise. She there to be safeguarded her from the outside world and those who would steal her from Marcel [[spoiler:specifically, to finish the interrupted Harvest Ritual by taking her life]]. And considering her temper protect the outside world from her.
* HairTriggerTemper: She's impulsive and short-tempered at times.
* HunterOfHisOwnKind: She's a witch who helps Marcel keep the other witched in line by sensing if, when, and where they do magic. Turns out that she has pretty good reason for being one, too.
* IJustWantToBeNormal: She expresses this desire to Elijah. Turns out, having uncontrollable power gained from [[spoiler: the ritual sacrifice of her friends]] isn't exactly something she enjoys.
* ItsPersonal: Her alliance with Marcel due to the fact that [[spoiler: witches slaughtered her friends and she wants to make them suffer.]]

* ScrewDestiny: The reason she helps Marcel keep the Witches in line. [[spoiler:She was chosen to sacrifice herself along with three other girls in a Harvest Ritual that was to keep the New Orleans Witches in contact with their Ancestral Magic. Though they downplayed the killing part, it was supposed to lead to their resurrection. Though such a promise means little in the face of traumatic slaughter with no real guarantee they'd come back alive, so you could imagine her reasons for fighting that fate once she learned the truth.]]
