hope’s  vampire  /  hybrid  teeth  are  a  little  different  than  the  normal  tvdu  vampire.  most  of  her  front  teeth  (apart  from  the  incisors)  become  longer  and  pointed,  giving  her  a  more  deadly  and  lethal  bite.  this  is  also  to  help  her  consume  as  much  blood  as  possible  in  one  bite  by  opening  more  points  in  the  flesh  of  who  she  drinks  from.

photo  reference  here,  warning  for  teeth  horror.

hope  is  not  affected  by  a  majority  of  the  gifts  of  the  twilight  vampires.  simply  put  it’s  because  of  the  loophole  of  her  existence,  hope’s  unique  set  of  gifts  and  powers  makes  her  immune  to  that  of  gifted  vampires.  a  lot  of  it  has  to  do  with  her  being  a  child  of  an  original  and  the  only  tribrid,  a  loophole  in  the  natural  order  of  things.

IN  SUMMARY,  mental  gifts  or  those  that  rely  on  psychic  powers  do  not  work  on  hope.  this  can  be  contributed  to  her  powerful  magic  that  puts  a  natural  barrier  between  herself  and  other’s  gifts  but  as  well,  as  part  vampire,  mind  compulsion  and  other  talents  do  not  work  on  her.

below  the  cut  is  a  break  down  of  some  of  the  more  prominent  gifts  talked  about  in  the  novels.

       STARTING  WITH  THE  OLYMPIC  COVEN.

EDWARDS  TELEPATHY:  hope’s  magic  and  the  magic  origins  of  vampires  keep  edward  from  being  able  to  use  his  gift  on  her.  similar  to  tvd  compulsion,  other  vampires  can’t  use  it  on  each  other,  only  humans  (exception  being  that  of  the  originals)  and  so  hope’s  immune  to  the  reaches  of  edward’s  telepathy  gift.  she  can  not  grant  him  access  either,  like  that  of  bella’s  shield  gift.

ALICE’S  SUBJECTIVE  PRECOGNITION:  simply  because  hope  is  a  tribrid,  and  no  one  has  seen  or  heard  of  one  before,  hope  is  a  loophole  in  alice’s  gift.  just  like  how  alice  is  unable  to  see  the  shifters  or  the  hybrids,  hope  falls  in  the  void  and  can  not  be  seen.

JASPER’S  PATHOKINESIS:  this  is  one  of  few  gifts  that  does  work  on  hope,  though  not  fully.  because  jasper’s  ability  is  to  physically  affect  the  person,  he  is  still  able  to  sense  the  emotion  from  her  and  read  it  as  he  would  anyone  else  but  the  ability  to  change  or  alter  her  state  of  being  is  not  something  he  can  do  all  the  time  with  her.  hope’s  vampiric  side  leaves  her  with  heightened  emotions,  even  without  being  triggered,  so  jasper  is  unable  to  change  emotions  within  her.  just  simply  because  she  feels  them  so  heightened  even  untriggered.

BELLA’S  MENTAL  SHIELD:  hope  can  still  use  magic  and  her  own  abilities  on  bella,  despite  the  shield  being  in  place  of  the  other  vampire.  bella’s  shield  is  effective  only  to  that  of  mental  or  psychic  attacks,  but  physical  attacks  are  still  able  to  get  through.  hope  can  use  all  manner  of  physical  magic  on  bella  without  interference  of  the  gift.  hope  could  not  compel  bella,  for  example,  but  can  induce  pain  by  causing  blood  vessels  to  burst  and  thus  giving  them  multiple  aneurysms.

RENESEMEE’S  TACTILE  THOUGHT  PROJECTION  &  SHIELD  PENETRATION:  renesmee’s  gifts  seem  to  be  the  opposite  versions  of  her  parents’  abilities-  because  of  this  hope  is  also  immune  to  her  gifts  as  they  are  still  in  the  same  realm  of  mental  powers  that  does  not  affect  her.

       MOVING  ON  TO  THE  VOLTURI  &  THEIR  GUARD.

ARO’S  TACTILE  TELEPATHY:  similar  to  that  of  edward’s  gift,  it  is  useless  on  hope  and  he  is  unable  to  read  her  thoughts.

MARCUS’  RELATIONSHIP  IDENTIFICATION:  marcus’  gift  is  extremely  effective  against  hope,  simply  because  of  her  vampiric  emotions.  as  her  emotions  are  heightened,  he  can  read  her  very  easily.  his  limit  is  that  of  detection,  or  reading,  the  bonds  but  hope  remains  completely  vulnerable  to  his  gift.

ALEC’S  SENSORY  DEPRIVATION  &  JANE’S  PAIN  ILLUSION:  just  like  with  the  others,  hope  is  immune  to  alec  and  jane’s  gifts.  these  gifts,  just  as  the  others,  rely  on  illusion  or  manipulation  of  psychic  parts  of  the  target.

DIMITRI’S  TRACKING  SENSE:  because  dimitri’s  gift,  again,  focuses  on  mental  connections  his  gift  is  useless  on  hope.

courtesy of @perzysprumia :

because of hope's stark blood, she too is a warg. this wasn't discovered as a separate thing because of the magic she's been capable of since she was a small child.

it's not until she meets and bonds with the dragon viserion and able to warg into him does it become clear that hope is a skinchanger.

hope bonds deeply with the dragon, seemingly able to speak to him without words (this could be due to magic or because of her bond as a warg, it's hard to tell)

acting on instinct, hope climbs atop the dragon's back when she stumbles upon him and rhaegal in the catacombs of the city. she tells no one of this and continues to sneak down to the dragons when she is able.

they continue to bond as dragon and dragonrider while daenerys is away. secretly she hopes that the dragon queen will never come back and that hope can take this dragon for herself.

when daenerys returns to meereen during the second siege with drogon, hope frees rhaegar and viserion from the catacombs to turn the tide of the battle.

hope is seen atop the back of the white dragon for the first time.

while sailing with the dragon queen back to westeros, hope takes any opportunity to ride her dragon as she can, though she does not travel too far at her father and uncle's request for safety.

during the wight hunt beyond the wall, hope rides on viserion's back, ignoring the protests of tyrion, klaus, and daenerys.

when the white dragon is struck by the ice spear, hope remains on his back. during the uncontrolled fall. hope is protected by viserion and survives the fall as the dragon falls helplessly into the frozen lake.

hope refuses to leave her dragon, having resulting in klaus pulling his daughter away from the broken ice and forcing her onto drogon's back.

hope is devastated at the loss and becomes inconsolable about the dragon's death, stating that it was like losing most of herself.

hope is not seen again by most, seemingly locking herself in her quarters at dragonstone and refusing to come out or let anyone in. the only two people who are able to speak with her directly are daenerys and later, jon snow when he returns.

hope is not seen by anyone else until it is time to march north to winterfell and fight the oncoming army of the dead.

hope remains an impassive presence at winterfell, secluding herself from most matters and only showing face during meals. most times the young girl is found in the godswoods nearby.

during the second battle with the night king, when viserion is shown to be under his control, hope makes a dangerous attempt to save her dragon.

using her warg abilities and the connection she once had with the dragon, hope is able to break the night king's control of the now ice dragon and saves viserion from a second death just before the fall of the night king (this is in part to her warg abilities but also coupled with her magic & targaryen blood is hope able to do this)

when asked how she managed this, hope does not know and says as much. she does not wish to find out and never intends to do such work again

viserion remains an ice dragon though his wounds are less disfiguring and he does not appear to be undead at first glance. his appearance changed after the night king's resurrection of the dragon, changing the gold points of the dragon to an icy blue and white coloring.

one of the things people don't seem to realize or just forget about hope (especially season one legacies) is that her being alone is her choice. she has done that to herself on purpose.

after watching her mother sacrifice herself for her daughter, seeing her father and her uncle elijah sacrifice themselves for her and the family- she could not bear the idea of losing anyone else. of loving and losing on repeat.

in season four that becomes really really apparent during her no humanity speech to alaric. "i was so sick of being controlled by my emotions. it's like: love, lose, grieve, repeat. i am finally free." so when people bring up the fact that freya, rebekah, marcel, or kol, weren't around for hope more or that we don't hear mention of them- it's on purpose. hope pushed them out, pushed everyone out, so she could stop the pain of losing people she cared about.

hope cares for people so deeply, so truly, that if she allows them in she knows she will lose them. it's why you see her as the loner during season one, why she stopped standing up for kids like henry after losing her parents, why hope stopped trying to be friends with the twins. she could not handle any more loss.

[tri-arc]

i was rewatching the scene where the squad is trying to fight hope in the box and they seem to think she's outright violent but she's really not. does she enjoy it when she is? yes, absolutely, there isn't a question about it. but her first true tactic to getting what she wants is more just being the tribrid.

people are more afraid of the potential that hope could do more so than what she would actually do. hope was extremely content to just vibe out with her humanity turned off but when people started coming for her is when they began to retaliate.

killing alaric was a message to more important people, josie and lizzie specifically. she did not go for them directly but instead hurt the twins' father as a message, knowing that a direct attack would not have the same impact.

it's really interesting that the squad's perception of hope without humanity is more like the klaus they've heard in stories than how we actually see her behaving.

could hope get what they want by destroying everything and taking it all? yes, again, no question. there isn't a single person or creature that could stand up against the tribrid and win. but she doesn't do that. hope only reacts to the actions of others against her and even then, she only truly hurts or kills someone she doesn't care about.

when rebekah daggered her, hope could have done it back but instead she knew that a better message would be emotionally targeting rebekah. she threw back at her aunt the always and forever promise, how rebekah wants to be human, all the things that are emotional weak spots of her aunts.

when hope returns to the school for the weapons, even before the spell, hope could have killed them all for what she wanted but she doesn't. she agrees to what josie asks because she cares about josie, even without her humanity on. it's shown again when dark!josie and hope have their talk. hope uses an offensive spell but she's damn smart enough to know josie would be able to siphon it and yet she still does. it's a fear tactic, she's trying to scare josie into backing down without actually hurting her.

hope only hurts finch and ethan when she could have easily killed them. but killing them gains her nothing and only hurts people she cares about (yes, again, josie). there's a reason josie was the one to be able to help get her humanity back.

there's other examples that prove this: hope only kills the triad vampire henchman because he was going to kill her. she only threatens agatha to get information, never actually tries to harm her. the werewolf alpha she fought was a means to an end, needing his pack and she didn't know or care about him. she threatens clarke's girlfriend and gets him fired from his job knowing that manipulation is better suited than outright violence and harm.

even though i don't agree with the gods plotline, there's the point when they're doing the simulation and she's screaming at them to take her out because she's going to kill them all. while part of that is her humanity slipping through the cracks, most of that is because she still cares about her friends and doesn't want to kill them but knows if that kept going she would.

point is, no humanity hope is a threat by being the tribrid but those that think she's all violence and murder weren't paying attention. she just wanted her freedom from emotions, carrying around her guilt and love and loss like weights. her humanity, or lack of, had nothing to do with impulses of murder. she's her father's daughter but truly she's more like hayley than anyone ever gave her credit for.

[tri-arc]

i keep thinking about hope making hybrids or other vampires and i don't know how she would approach it or handle it.

we can see she views hybrids as strong,   brave,   capable creatures because that's who her mother and father were.   when she gave henry her blood and told him exactly how to turn himself,   hope had done that as a way to give him strength and help him survive the bullying of the other wolves at school.   because she looks at hayley and klaus and sees no one ever bullies them,   people fear them.

she did this out of the kindness of her heart,   wanting to help that werewolf boy become the strong hybrid he deserved to be.   at least in her eyes. but after losing her mother and father,   because of her,   she finds it a lot harder to accept making a new sire line.   she begins pushing people away to save them,   to save herself the hurt of losing them.   i find it incredibly unlikely that hope would ever willingly create a hybrid or vampire so flippantly.   she reminds herself of that over and over.

after meeting kai parker,   learning about the merge,   hope has a thought for a brief moment of offering the twins her blood to make them heretics.   she wonders if that would save them both from the merge,   breaking that curse on their bloodline once and for all.   but she never does because even then,   being tied to her even more closely means they would be targeted even more.   plus if hope were to die,   truly meet her end,   that means they would too.   hope never had the thought again about offering the twins her blood for that.  

after becoming the tribrid,   even without her humanity,   hope doesn’t turn anyone else.   she enjoys her solitude and her freedom but also,   she knows deep down that they would become a responsibility and she can’t bring herself to accept the fate of others again.   hurt after hurt makes her reluctant to ever turn anyone,   least of all a practical stranger.

but then the idea of hybrids comes up again and hope finds herself wondering if maybe she could make a handful.   they’re strong,   amazing creatures.   she also can’t help but wonder if this idea comes from missing her parents so deeply that she’s willing to endanger other werewolves just for the feeling of family again.  

i’ve also thought about when hope returns to new orleans finally,   making the city her home again,   if she might start turning vampires.   hybrids too,   reaching out to bridge that gap with the crescent pack again and offering to make hybrids.   but she will always doubt her own intentions with this,   wondering if just maybe being home makes her miss klaus and hayley.   how new orleans doesn’t feel right without hybrids and hoards of vampires.   but she also wonders that if her own sires would be loyal to her,   to keeping the peace of new orleans she wants so badly.   the safe haven her mother tried to make,   the city her father created.  

really,   i feel like hope may never make a vampire or hybrid,   that she will be the one and only of her sire line.   but maybe not,   maybe as she grows and heals her heart,   her wounds,   she might just feel okay again and start to open her heart to helping the weaker wolves.   maybe that will be a start.

one piece verse.

this verse is live action compliant only. the port city of new orleans is ruled by one ruthless family: the mikaelson clan. a city friendly to pirates, thieves, bounty hunters, and any other nefarious types. raised in a world of grey morals and even less laws, hope mikaelson is no stranger to the good or bad of the world around them. as a young teenager, hope lost everything that kept them anchored to their home. hayley's life was taken as revenge from some of their family's long standing enemies. hope was not home at the time, having gone exploring their island home, escaping out of the protection of the city's high walls. while this isn't the first time the heiress has taken to sneaking out, hope does manage to explore their island further than ever before and found something that would change them forever. returning to the city, hope holds in her hands the rotting flesh of a half-eaten devil-fruit. in her rage of her mother's murder, the biggest mikaelson secret is revealed: hope's magical abilities. at first many believed this to be the result of the devil fruit until it becomes apparent the fruit did not grant these deadly abilities. instead the fruit turned her into a blood wolf beast (think tvd hybird duh). the city was ravaged in her rage, in her need for vengeance, that it started a war on the island. with war comes loss and the last thing that ties hope to her home. when her life is in danger, her father and uncle make a deal of their lives for hers. hope is spared at the loss of their lives.

this is not an attack. this is a reminder that language and terminology, while even being used innocently, can still be harmful and propagate hateful rhetoric.

stop tagging or saying sexual sunday memes as “sinday”. sex isn’t sinful, sexuality isn’t sinful, and the concept of sex being sinful aids in the targeting of the lgbtqia+ community, the sex work community, and spreads the narrative of purity culture and how being sexual or having "impure thoughts" is a sin.

again, this is not an attack on anyone who uses this term. while it's meant to be used as a funny pun on the words, it's still leaving that subconscious rhetoric of sex and sexuality being a sin.

personal headcanon that the cure for immortality / vampirism cure would be useless for hope as she was born with vampire blood and did not have to ingest it in order to trigger the transformation.

[tri-arc]

THE TRIBRID + MIND COMPULSION —

hope's compulsion not only works one-on-one but she is also able to mass compel groups of people like the immortal silas.

not only can hope compel other vampires, she is able to compel an original too.

she can also compel witches, hybrids, and werewolves.

she does not need to make eye contact with who she wants to compel, using instead her telepathy magic to get in their heads.

the stronger the mental wall of the person the more effort hope has to use but there has yet to be anyone who can resist her fully when it comes to compulsion.

she is fully and completely immune to any forms of compulsion, even that of the originals or marcel gerard.

vervain does offer resistance to compulsion.

verbal commands are not necessary but often help channel the intention of the compulsion.

hope's compulsion can be broken at great risk to the witch performing the spell as well as the person compelled. there is a high risk of one or both dying in the process due to the amount of magic it would take.

siphoners & heretics can siphon out the magic of the compulsion but have an increased risk of dark magic illness in doing so. siphoners can not siphon the magic from themself, however.

hope isn't a ripper per say.. but she's the tribrid equivalent. she has to consume a lot more blood and her emotions are, if we put it on a scale and quantify them, are ten times that of a normal vampire. blood lust is a hunger because the body needs it but also a desire to feed in general- which is an emotion. 

when lucien and alaric became those upgraded versions of originals, they struggled with blood lust themself. because the magic to keep them going drained them more than just the simple immortality vampire spell. therefore they had to intake a lot more blood. 

elijah is also a master of control now but we've seen the "red door" thing- he struggles hard with blood lust, he’s just had 1000 years to control it by the time we meet him in tvd. kol is impulsive and just leans into the blood lust but still has control because it has been 1000 years for him too. the ancestors also use that bloodlust and curse him for only wanting davina when he gets brought back. 

so using that theory... originals and upgrades require more blood to sustain themself. hope has more power then all of them combined. she requires so much blood to sustain her hunger and drive that it looks like a ripper. but she doesn't struggle with the impulse itself like a ripper. rippers just blood shed because its fun, hope does it because she has to.

hope has to have a daily feed, preferable multiple times a day really, in order to keep going. if she controls herself in not draining the person fully, she will need to feed in multiple people to sate her hunger. if she were to drain someone completely instead, she could do with one or two in a day and not feed again until the next day.

[tri-arc]

i'm thinking about it and hope didn't want to leave hayley in 5x12 not just because she missed her mom but because she knew deep down that was probably the last time she'd ever see hayley. hope knew even then that one day she would have to be the tribrid, for whatever reason, that part of her was inevitable. did she know at the time she'd be unkillable? no, but she'd heard her whole life that she was stronger than anyone, anything that was known... so yeah she just assumed that once she triggered that too she'd never die. and she'd never see her mom again.

so in 4x3 when hope is in limbo with the ferryman.. she truly struggles with the idea of crossing that river with him into peace. because over there she knows is hayley, klaus, elijah- and damn if she doesn't miss them with every part of her. the only thing that kept her from getting on that boat and going into peace was the reminder that people are still alive who need her. she couldn't just leave josie, lizzie, the rest of the squad, without her. they need her for a reason and as much as it hurt to do it, she doesn't cross that river.

she doesn't realize it but she accepted the reality then that she may never see her family again. like truly and honestly accepted that truth. she's always known it but it's different than accepting it and trying to move on with that knowledge. which is also the reason i stand by klaus and hayley being the trigger for her humanity for a reason!!!! but that's a whole other conversation we can have some other time.

[tri-arc]

because   of   her   tribrid   nature,   not   only   does   hope   require   large   amounts   of   blood   to   sustain   herself,   but   she   still   requires   normal   food   as   well.   once   transitioned,   she   doesn't   need   to   eat   multiple   meals   a   day   but   it   does   help   with   the   blood   lust   if   she   eats   large   or   high   calorie   meals   between.
