Lore
Over a thousand years ago, long before Mystic Falls existed and before the name "Mikaelson" was whispered in fear, Cassandra Forbes was a young herbalist witch living in a remote Nordic village. Known for her golden hair and warm smile, Cassandra was a kind and skilled healer who carried an unspoken sadness within her-a longing for a life beyond the small, superstitious world she inhabited.
Niklaus Mikaelson, then a mortal boy in his late teens, was one of Cassandra's closest friends. Though their village was harsh and unforgiving, Klaus and Cassandra often escaped the burdens of their lives together, finding solace in quiet moments by the river or in the dense forest that surrounded their home. Klaus was drawn to Cassandra's strength and quiet confidence, and she, in turn, was captivated by his vulnerability and the fierce spirit hidden beneath his troubled exterior.
