Katarina Mikaelson

Nerissa Mikaelson (Elder Futhark: ᚾᛖᚱᛁᛋᛋᚨ ᛗᛁᚲᚨᛖᛚᛋᛟᚾ) is the second daughter of Mikael and Esther.

Personality
Katarina has a cunning, sinister, clever, cold, and very dangerous personality. Her aura swirls around her, tracing gold, silver, hints of purple, and a deep red across her features, as though she were dripping blood.

Physical Appearance
She is beautiful and youthful, like all of the Eternals. She has an enchanting charm and beautiful old, very old, eyes that drew people in with a slight glint of insanity. Her eyebrows arched, expectant and amused. She has long, thick, dark hair hanging below her shoulders. She appears to stand at 5'7 and has a slim, slightly athletic figure.

Early History
Katerina is the second daughter of Mikael and Esther, wealthy landowners from the Kingdom of Norway in the 10th century. Her mother gave birth to Freya, Finn, and Elijah in the Old World, but after Freya was sent away with Esther's sister Dahlia as payment for Esther's fertility spell (which was later covered up by Esther, who claimed Freya had died of the plague), Esther and Mikael were so devastated that they decided to follow the advice of Esther's witch mentor Ayana, who told her of a mystical land (the New World), where its natives were strong and healthy. They then settled in what is now Mystic Falls, Virginia, where Esther and Mikael had four more children; Niklaus (who was secretly fathered by a werewolf named Ansel), Kol, Rebekah, and Henrik. Katerina, like the rest of her siblings, was born a witch and like Kol, tapped into her powers prior to being turned into a vampire in her teens. She was born a witch, but also had the ability to siphon magic. This has never happen and never will, as it was only made possible through her faery side.

Human Life=Mystic Falls, The Middle Ages, 10th Century Katerina is the second daughter of Mikael and Esther, wealthy landowners from the Kingdom of Norway in the 10th century. Her mother gave birth to Freya, Finn, and Elijah in the Old World, but after Freya was sent away with Esther's sister Dahlia as payment for Esther's fertility spell (which was later covered up by Esther, who claimed Freya had died of the plague), Esther and Mikael were so devastated that they decided to follow the advice of Esther's witch mentor Ayana, who told her of a mystical land (the New World), where its natives were strong and healthy.

Katerina, like the rest of her siblings, was born a witch and like Kol, tapped into her powers prior to being turned into a vampire in her teens. She was born a witch, but also had the ability to siphon magic. This has never happen and never will, as it was only made possible through her faery side. While fleeing from Mikael after the death of their mother, Katerina ran with her siblings for a significant amount of time, feeding on people along the countryside but always being careful to hide the bodies. Unsure of where they were going, Kol brought up the idea that maybe they should split up so as to better avoid their father. Finn agreed with the idea, tired of the killing and running, taking no pleasure in their descent into vampirism. Elijah was quick to remind his siblings of their vow to remain together always and forever. Katerina objected, though putting aside Elijah's point, brought up how if they split up it would be easier for Mikael to pick them off one by one. When they discovered a caravan filled with fine clothing belonging to victims they had just killed, Rebekah suggested they steal the clothes and pose as the victims since they were heading to a nearby castle. When they found a servant of the castle who was escorting the cart to its destination, he told them he could help them in their potential ruse. They put it to a vote, whether they should let him live. Kol, Katerina, and Elijah wanted to kill him, while Finn and Rebekah wanted to spare him. Ultimately, Klaus voted to spare him, leaving them at a tie. Finn and Elijah drew sticks, and Finn won. The servant, Lucien Castle, presented them to the count after trying to help them blend in and present themselves as nobles. After almost being caught, their plan worked and they were welcomed into the count's court. Over time, the Mikaelsons were adjusted to the French court ways, and Katerina caught the eye of many suitors, one being the count's son Tristan de Martel. Though she kept rejecting his advances. Some time after that, the rumors from the castle had reached the village, and an upset Finn informed Elijah, Klaus, and Rebekah that because of Kol's, Klaus' and Lucien's antics, and the "creatures" that Klaus and Rebekah sired, the villagers talks about demons that feed on human blood. The Mikaelsons realized that they have been discovered, and that soon their father will be upon them. And so they fled from France. Some time later Elijah compelled Lucien, Aurora, and her older brother - Tristan de Martel, whom Elijah himself just sired- to believe that they were Klaus, Rebekah, and Elijah, so they can be a decoy to lure their father away. He also compelled them to believe that Katerina had died due to magic. After fleeing France, the five Mikaelsons siblings headed south to Italy, Tuscany, and lived there for a time.
 * -|1002=Southern France
 * -|1114= Katerina was with Klaus, Elijah, and Rebekah in 1114 AD Italy when they met a man named Alexander, a vampire hunter who was part of The Five. They spent a lot of time with him—the brothers in order to discover his plans for killing vampires and Rebekah because she loved him. Alexander did not seem to suspect them; they wore their daylight rings, allowing them to walk in the sun without burning, unlike the vampires whom Alexander killed on public display. However, when Klaus and his siblings were invited to a party at Alexander's home, the members of The Five daggered them in their sleep. Klaus, with half werewolf lineage, could not be neutralized by the White Oak Ash Daggers and upon awakening killed all of The Five, including Alexander. He undaggered his siblings (except for Finn). Katerina and Klaus found out from Rebekah that the weapon Alexander had told her about was a "cure" for vampirism.

Powers and Abilities
Nerissa possesses all the powers of an Original Vampire and powers stemming from her fairy side.


 * Blood: Katerina's blood is a mix of fairy and vampire blood, which are two opposing sides, this causes it to be very powerful with many possibilities. Due to fairy blood being toxic to vampires, it can both severely injure, or kill, a vampire and heal them. It's also been shown to intoxicate a vampire to a runken-like state. Her blood has many effects on many different creatures. If her blood has entered the stream of another creature before, regardless of if it's still there, she has absolute control over them. The exceptions to this rule are her siblings and other fairies.
 * Elemental Control: Fairies are known to have the most influence over all aspects of nature. Katerina's power over the elements surpasses the power of witches and other supernatural creatures by far. She's been known to manipulate water, fire, plants, the weather, electricity, temperature, and many more aspects. This is often confused with telekinesis by some.
 * Shapeshifting: The power to change into any form, creature, or person, whether it's supernatural or not.
 * Reality Manipulation: This allows her to cast powerful illusions and more.
 * Witch Control: Due to the fact that fairies existed far before witches and that they're power was taught and gifted by fairies, Katerina has a control over the power of witches around her. She's able to cancel the powers of a witch, permanently take them, and much more.
 * The Veil: She's able to see souls of creatures, sometimes non-supernatural, before the cross the veil. She's even able to communicate with them, this is demonstrated when she convinced Jackson not to cross yet.
