Contrary to popular belief, it was not Henrik Mikaelson's death that triggered the birth of the vampire species. It was actually his beloved younger twin sister - Saskia Mikaelson, who died that fateful night.
It was her death that spark the creation of the ultimate predatory species, the war between two supernatural species, and the gap in the hearts of her beloved family that caused them to become monsters, as they would say.
Her death was one the main reasons why her siblings chose to abandon their humanity, and the reason for them to hold on to it too. For even in death and even only in memory, she was embedded in their hearts, minds and souls. Because no matter how hard they try to say that they are above everything, even their pesky emotions. She lives through all of them. Her Beautiful Soul shines through.
