Legacies, The Originals and The Vampire Diaries have all honored fierce femmes fatales and we love them for it

From Katherine Pierce to Hayley Marshall and Freya Mikaelson, both 'The Vampire Diaries' and 'The Originals' have truly amazing female characters who have not only shown resilience and strength through romances and bitter betrayals but have refused to swing according to anyone's moral compass.

Over the years, various shows in The CW's supernatural universe of 'The Vampire Diaries' has had one thing in common apart from Mystic Falls and New Orleans - its fierce femme fatales. From Katherine Pierce to Hayley Marshall and Freya Mikaelson, both 'The Vampire Diaries' and 'The Originals' have truly amazing female characters who have not only shown resilience and strength through romances and bitter betrayals but have refused to swing according to anyone's moral compass. There's something powerful about watching these women on screen and we are glad that 'Legacies' is keeping the torch burning.
