Bloodlines & Houses · Era II, The Mikaelsons
Tatia
A woman of the village whom both Elijah and Klaus loved, and the first Petrova doppelgänger — Amara's shadow, arriving exactly when the story needed her. Esther killed her, put her blood in the wine for the immortality spell, and used it again to bind Klaus's wolf.
Details
- The doppelgänger line is therefore built into the Originals from the first minute of their existence. Nothing about Elena's importance is coincidence.
- Elijah and Klaus's rivalry over one woman is a thousand-year-old pattern that repeats with Katherine, with Hayley, with everyone.
- Tatia had a child by another man before either brother courted her — the Petrova pattern of a disgraced pregnancy repeats with Katherine five hundred years later.
- Esther told her sons that Tatia had left. In fact she drained her for the spell and Elijah, newly turned, finished her — which Elijah only learns a thousand years later.
- Elijah has the memory compelled away — the "red door" — and recovering it in New Orleans nearly destroys him.
