❥ Folkmore Roles & Attributes

Skills: anything a world traveling 1000 year old vampire would know. So many things.
Canon Abilities: https://vampirediaries.fandom.com/wiki/Rebekah_Mikaelson#Original_Vampire
Role: Legend
Role Qualities/Attributes: Gold tipped wings, a halo and eye color shifting eyes. Her ring may change color as well.
Role Reasoning: Rebekah Mikaelson is almost as emotionally driven as her brother Niklaus, although she does have more control over how she expresses these emotions. I've chosen the role of legend because even when she's being selfish, she has limits on how far she'll go. At her core, she just wants a happily ever after of her own.

That said, if you hurt her family, she's not going to show mercy. Rebekah is loyal and caring, once you get past her shell, and while she'll probably gripe about it, she's not unwilling to help people. Next to Elijah, she may be the most reasonable member of their family.

❥ Personality

Please choose one of the follow options for your personality section. Please clarify which option you have picked and, if option 2, which questions you are answering:

Option 1. Summarize your character's personality in general and what their full potential would look like to them and what they would be willing to go through to meet that potential and what gaining that potential would mean to them. 400-800 word requirement. Rebekah Mikaelson is, at her core, a young woman who spent most of her life trapped in a cycle. She's a vampire, yes, but a vampire bound to her family, to her position as an Original and while she has a sharp tongue at times, her shell is also fragile. She loves and hates her family in turn, loyal to a fault to her brother Niklaus but also suffering from his paranoia and need for control. Rebekah is supposedly closer to him than any but also casually pushed aside when he has a goal in mind or someone else taking precedence. Everyone has a limit and centuries of abuse and being treated as a toy to be brought out when it's convenient pushed her to attempt to distance herself but they're so entwined that separating never lasts.

As one of the youngest and only female vampire in the Original family, her bonds to her family are unbreakable, even as much as she wishes them to be less so, sometimes. She always comes back to Niklaus, even as much as they bite and hurt each other, although Niklaus's crimes against her are far more numerous. She may fall in love easily, but she also wants to be free of the chains that bind her to said family. Her sole desire at her core is a home and family of her own as a human. By the time they return to New Orleans, she's resigned herself to not achieving that. Although she does come close to it within a year.

The thing about Rebekah is honestly, she's lonely underneath it all. She has her brothers, yes, but until Hayley and Freya take their places, she's been the only girl and her brothers don't exactly treat her well to begin with. At least not all the time. It's very clear they look down on her and see her as emotionally weak. That being said, she's been loyal to her brother Klaus for centuries while the others left and or spent time daggered into coffins because they crossed Klaus. But as for actual friends, she had none for most of her life. And while she has sought love, all but 3 of those wound up dead likely at her brother's hands.

She has trust issues definitely, with the name Mikaelson and the target on her back by association. She's definitely somewhat spoiled, but she continually also displays a heart that's not nearly as cold as her brothers would prefer. They mock her for her taste in men, treat her as if she's too foolish to be left alone and disregard her feelings as a rule, at least in her initial appearances throughout s3 and s4 of the Vampire Diaries. And as much as her time away in the Originals with Hope did do a lot to give her a taste of what she truly wants, she's still very aware of the futility of trying for that.

At least in her own world.
