Added DiffLines:

* TangledFamilyTree: The Mikaelsons have a rather twisted connection through various marriages and adoptions. The most egregious example is Davina being both Hope's aunt (through marriage to Kol) and niece (by being Marcel's adoptive daughter, who himself is Hope's adoptive brother.)

* NeatFreak: Elijah's dapper dressing is not just because he likes suits. His family members often comment ironically on how hard he works to maintain his neat appearance and civil manners, since the truth is he's committed almost as many murders as Klaus. After being forced to relive his most violent acts, he becomes blatantly obsessive-compulsive about being clean. At this point being clean is the only thing holding his sanity together, as even just a spot of blood on his clothes will cause him to go on a murder spree.

Added DiffLines:

* NeverMyFault : The entire Mikaelson family constantly complains about the fact that they never have lasting moments of peace of mind and blame their problems on the cruelty of life. The fact that they are all sadistic sociopaths and mass murderers who love to take tragedy everywhere they go simply because they can never seems to cross their minds! The few times this was stated directly to all of them, they again put the full weight of their sins on a Freudian Excuse and resume their wave of terror across the world.

Cut trope. Can't tell if replacements or others applicable.


* BiggerBad: The Originals may have seemed like the biggest possible bad to the supernatural community, but even the siblings were quavering in their boots when [[spoiler:Daddy and Mommy]] came to town.

* StuffedIntoTheFridge: DoubleSubverted. [[spoiler:Aurora compels Camille to slit her own throat, leaving Klaus to find her corpse. Klaus cradles her body and cries... and then she opens her eyes. Turns out she was fed some blood beforehand and [[TookALevelInBadass takes a level in badass]] as a vampire instead. Unfortunately, later in the season she is given a lethal bite by Lucien to spite Klaus. She dies in his arms again -- for real this time.]]

* CurbStompBattle: All over the place, [[spoiler: Rebekah to a bunch of Vamps who where a little to disrespectful. Elijah to the Witches that tried to kill Haley. Marcel and his group slaughter a group of Witches to prevent the Harvest. Klaus when he goes full Hybrid puts down an attempt to take him down this way. And even Elijah and Klaus get stomped on when Davina goes to rescue Tim.]] The introduction to season two features another when Elijah, Hayley, Marcel and Klaus [[spoiler: take out the entire Guerrera family, and a good chunk of their employees, over a couple of hours]]. Mikael manages a smaller-scale but equally impressive one the following episode when he crushes a pack of moonlight-ring enhanced werewolves to save Davina.

** In
season two features another when two, Elijah, Hayley, Marcel and Klaus [[spoiler: take out the entire Guerrera family, and a good chunk of their employees, over a couple of hours]]. Mikael manages a smaller-scale but equally impressive one the following episode when he crushes a pack of moonlight-ring enhanced werewolves to save Davina.Davina and afterwards curb-stomps Elijah pretty easily. Despite being a normal werewolf, Ansel gets to deliver this to an entire army of enhanced werewolves to save Oliver with just a single sword. Freya, the oldest and missing Mikaelson sibling, also gets to curb-stomp much of her opponents, until Dahlia, the so-called world's most powerful witch, comes in and repeatedly curb-stomps any and all oppositions, making Freya look weak in comparison, and the only reason she dies at the end is because Esther leaves her open.
** Season three has Lucien Castle, the first vampire in existence, become a super original and he easily wipes the floor with anyone who tries to fight him. Even Klaus can barely hold his own before getting summarily trounced.
** The Hollow constantly dishes this out just like Dahlia did in Season Four, showing she isn't so deeply feared for nothing. Kol also tears through an entire group of vampires at the beginning of the season. Vincent, who by this point has made it clear he is the current second most powerful witch in the Originals, displays just what he is really capable of by repeatedly curb-stomping the Hollow's followers, except when he is caught off-guard and when he is faced with the Hollow's High Priest Dominic, who matches him in their magical duel.
