She then learned that she will have a daughter. As time passed, Hayley grew concerned that because she never had a loving mother in her life, she would not know how to be a good mother to her daughter, but eventually, that faded and she grew to love the child deeply and like Klaus, is dedicated to protecting her at all costs. This is shown when Genevieve and the Harvest girls kidnapped Hope, and tried to kill her. Hayley was there and fought for her daughter, and got her back. She also demonstrated the aptitude to know where her daughter is, even if she is hidden by a spell. Hayley made a promise to herself and Hope that she (Hope) would grow up safe and loved (unlike herself).

Hope is now living with her parents and family in The Abattoir.

However, after Hope’s parents died, they became closer and eventually became friends, such that Hope even covers for and protects Josie. Sometimes their friendship seems to make Lizzie jealous, because of Lizzie’s dislike for Hope. They, however, do care for one another. When facing the croatoan, Hope admits to Lizzie that when she was fourteen she had a week-long crush on Josie. Their friendship, became complicated after Hope was absorbed by Malivore and all memories of her were erased.

Despite Hope’s insistence that she never meant to hurt Josie, they remained distant. When Landon chose Hope instead of Josie, their dynamic grew awkward. They were able to gradually regain their friendship after Hope helped Josie with the Mora Miserium.

Alaric also tries to mentor and convince Hope to step out of her comfort zone, as a father figure normally tried to do with their children. Alaric is also Hope’s head master at her boarding school and also her coach in learning how to fight, physically of course. Hope sometimes jokes with Alaric saying that she’ll need a new fighting mentor being Alaric is growing older. However, they remain close as much as a non-biological fatherly-daughterly coupling can be.

In the second season, Hope went to live with her aunt Rebekah in order to hide from the New Orlean witches but eventually it’s discovered that the real reason behind Esther’s attack is the fear of a promise made to Hope’s paternal great-aunt, Dahlia, in which all firstborn Mikaelson’s are promised to Dahlia.

Hope was mostly mentioned throughout the show’s first season and only appeared when she was born in the season finale, however her existence had an impact in every member of her family during that season. Klaus was initially skeptikal about Hope being his daughter but later it was confirmed that she was actually his daughter when she revealed her vampire side.
