Bloodlines & Houses
Tatia
The first doppelgänger
A woman of the Mikaelsons' village whom both Elijah and Niklaus loved, and the first Petrova doppelgänger — Amara's shadow, arriving precisely when the story needed her. She had a child by another man before either brother courted her, which is a pattern the line repeats with Katherine five hundred years later.
Esther killed her and put her blood in the wine for the immortality spell, then used it again to bind Klaus's werewolf side. She told her sons Tatia had left. Elijah learns the truth a thousand years later and it nearly destroys him.
Details
- Her blood is in the foundation of vampirism itself — every vampire alive exists partly because of her.
- Elijah compelled the memory of what happened out of his own head to survive it.
