Mikaelsonwife Stories

Here is an alternate season 1 summary of The Originals featuring Acantha Naim Mikaelson, Elijah's ancient and powerful wife, who becomes a guiding force throughout the season. Her presence not only affects Elijah's choices but also shifts the power dynamics in New Orleans. The summary ends with Acantha's haunting voice-over, echoing one of her signature quotes: The Originals - Season 1 complete The original family returns to New Orleans, the city they once ruled, only to find it now under the control of Klaus's former protégé, Marcel. Klaus discovers that Hayley-carrying his unborn child-is being used by the witches in a desperate plan to reclaim their place in the city. As war brews between vampires, witches, and werewolves, Elijah remains the stabilizing force... but he is not alone. At his side stands Acantha Naim Mikaelson, Elijah's wife of nearly 900 years-a woman of mystery, immense supernatural power, and a soul forged by loss. With her gifts-psychometry, elemental manipulation, visions, healing, and the ability to walk between life and death-Acantha becomes both protector and reckoning. As Davina, a teenage witch with unstable magic, threatens to unravel the balance, Acantha senses an ancient echo in her-a reflection of her own past as a girl once weaponized by men. Acantha works to guide her gently, while Klaus tears through enemies to secure his legacy. Elijah fights to maintain honor. Acantha battles to preserve hope. And together, they face betrayals, deaths, and the return of the darkest forces-including Esther and Mikael. In the end, they lose more than they gain: Elijah's faith is tested, Klaus's humanity wavers, and Acantha must make a decision that could doom them all-or finally break the curse of their blood. [Voice-over - Acantha, soft but steady as the screen fades to black] "We are not bound by the blood we spill or the oaths we break. What defines us... is who we choose to protect when everything burns."

The Original family conceal a deep secret within the walls of their residence: Marianne Mikaelson, Elijah's beloved wife from their human days over a millennium ago. Transformed into an Original alongside her husband, Marianne's existence remains concealed from the world, known only to the Mikaelson siblings. Fifty years ago, Marianne fell ill with a mysterious sickness which the doctors attributed to nerves. Since then, she has been in a state of constant daydream, often losing track of conversations and becoming distressed in Elijah's absence. Despite her confusion, Marianne's love for Elijah endures. She recognises his voice, finding peace in his presence. But her vulnerability means her presence is concealed from outsiders. The Mikaelsons' commitment to her never wavers, each of them devoted in their own way. Marianne is the most precious part of their family, and they would go to extreme lengths to keep her presence a secret.

Astrid Mikaelson. The much devoted wife and once elder sister of Tatia Petrova, the very first Petrova doppelganger. Astrid has remained by Klaus' side since their human days, including but not limited to their wedding day, which bound them forever by love and loyalty to one another. Often labelled as a freak by her younger sister for her supernatural abilities which the doppelganger lacked, Astrid once struggled to build relationships with others, fearing that they would share the same views. As Klaus completes the ritual to turn himself into a full-fledged hybrid, he sets on his course to create others like him to build an army- filled with those who live to serve him and protect his loved ones; especially Astrid. Throughout this, the darkest of wizarding forces are rising once again. You-Know-Who and his followers begin to build up more power than before, and Astrid must navigate the mayhem of trying to help Harry Potter while also trying to keep her own family together.
