Dahlia
The first firstborn
Esther's elder sister, and by a wide margin the stronger of the two. She gave Esther fertility in exchange for the firstborn of every generation of their bloodline, forever, and collected Freya as the first payment. She sleeps a century between each waking year, sustained by the firstborn magic she takes.
A thousand years later she comes to New Orleans to collect Hope Mikaelson. Killing her requires Mikaelson blood, Viking soil, and the family cooperating completely for the first time in their history — including with Freya, the daughter Dahlia stole and raised as a weapon.
Details
- Her binding spell means she can find the firstborn anywhere in the world the instant their magic surfaces.
- She raised Freya, and the relationship is genuinely and unpleasantly maternal, which is what makes her interesting rather than just powerful.
