Hello, my name is Thaliana Mikaelson. In 1864 I fell in love with Damon Salvatore. We completed eachother, and were to be married. Even my brother Niklaus approved of him. In all my centuries of living I had not loved anyone more than I had loved Damon. Then my father came to town, I knew he intended to kill me and everything I loved. I had to protect me soulmate. I faked my death and leave to keep Damon safe. In my absence a girl by the name of Katherine Pierce changed him. My compulsion came undone and I had to make him forget me, there was only one thing that would reverse my compulsion. Three words, words I had vowed never to say again. Even now, when I see him 150 years later, I cannot bring myself to say them. Even if I still do, love him, that is.

Athena Swan loudly greets her new and shy cousins as they move in with her uncle, Charlie Swan. Athena is the polar opposite of the Swan sisters, she's a social butterfly, a blunt person, even her features are the opposite of theirs. But, for a pair of shy girls, they tend to bring a lot of drama and mystery along with them.
