'Legacies': What makes Hope Mikaelson the perfect protagonist for the CW spinoff

Hope is bratty, selfish, entitled and in need some serious anger management - and that's exactly why she's so good at this. Her flaws make her perfect for the job.
PUBLISHED DEC 28, 2018

The only Tribrid to ever exist in the supernatural universe of 'The Vampire Diaries/The Originals/Legacies', Hope Mikaelson has stood out right from the time we met her. Her story arc was been drastically different each season - she went from being a potential evil baby to someone who needed protection to the teen that changed the game.

Without Hope, the infamous Mikaelson brothers, Klaus and Elijah Mikaelson, would have never found salvation. Had it not been for Hope, the story would have stayed in a loop and we'd have never been able to move on. However, none of this makes her the perfect protagonist for 'Legacies' - it's actually how flawed she is that makes her so.
