The Celestial Dagger is a weapon forged by Hope Mikaelson using ancient celestial magic as a means of subduing Visenya Mikaelson. By appearance, it resembles a sleek silver dagger with an intricately designed hilt engraved with celestial runes. When infused with Hope’s tribrid blood and celestial energy, the dagger becomes powerful enough to pierce Visenya’s supernatural defenses. Once embedded in her heart, it instantly binds her abilities, forcing her into a dormant state where she remains powerless for as long as the dagger stays in place. Unlike traditional daggers, its enchantment tethers Visenya’s soul to the celestial plane, preventing any form of resurrection until the dagger is removed.
History[]
Forged in secrecy and imbued with celestial magic, the Celestial Dagger is a weapon unlike any other. Created by Hope Mikaelson, the tribrid daughter of Klaus Mikaelson, this enchanted dagger was designed for a singular and near-impossible purpose—to subdue Visenya Mikaelson, her powerful and unpredictable relative.
Origin & Creation[]
Hope, knowing that traditional weapons were useless against a being as formidable as Visenya Mikaelson, sought ancient celestial magic—magic drawn from the very essence of the stars and the divine forces beyond this world. With the help of siphoner magic, celestial runes, and the blood of a god-like entity, she forged the dagger in a ritual that took place under a rare celestial convergence.
The blade was tempered with:
- Celestial Silver – A mystical metal infused with the light of the stars, capable of neutralizing divine and vampiric beings.
- Hope’s Tribrid Blood – The key ingredient that allows the dagger to pierce through Visenya’s supernatural defenses.
- Primordial Runes – Ancient sigils carved into the blade that bind its victim’s power, preventing them from breaking free.
- Lunar Enchantment – Infused with the energy of a blood moon, ensuring that once the dagger is embedded, it locks the victim in a state of forced dormancy.
Purpose & Power[]
Visenya Mikaelson, a being of untamed power, possessed abilities that made her nearly indestructible—her lineage tied to the Original vampires, siphoner magic, and celestial energy. Hope, realizing that no ordinary method could contain her, resorted to creating the Celestial Dagger as a last resort to subdue Visenya without destroying her completely.
When plunged into Visenya’s heart, the dagger:
- Seals her supernatural abilities, rendering her powerless.
- Forces her into a dormant state, similar to the White Oak Ash Daggers but without the lethal consequences.
- Tethers her soul to the celestial plane, preventing any external force from reviving her unless the dagger is removed.

Trivia[]
- Once the Celestial Dagger is ready, it can only be undone if removed by Hope Mikaelson herself or under another rare celestial event.
- Only Hope Can Wield It – Since the dagger was forged using Hope Mikaelson’s tribrid blood, only she can fully activate its power. If anyone else tries to use it, the enchantment weakens, making it less effective.
- Visenya’s Blood Was the Final Ingredient – To ensure the dagger was specifically attuned to Visenya Mikaelson, a drop of her blood was secretly added to the enchantment, making it impossible to use on anyone else.
- Unlike the White Oak Ash Daggers, It Doesn't Just Desiccate – Instead of simply neutralizing its victim, the Celestial Dagger binds Visenya’s soul to the celestial plane, making resurrection or siphoning magic useless.
- It Glows When Close to Visenya – The dagger gives off a soft silver-blue light whenever it is near her, reacting to her supernatural energy like a magnet.
- If Broken, It Could Unleash Visenya’s Full Power – The dagger is the only thing keeping Visenya Mikaelson’s abilities fully contained. If it were ever shattered, it’s possible she would awaken stronger than before, having absorbed celestial energy while dormant.
- A Blood Moon Weakens Its Hold – Since it was forged under a Blood Moon, this rare celestial event could slightly weaken the dagger’s magic, giving Visenya brief moments of awareness even while subdued.
- It Cannot Be Removed by Magic Alone – Unlike the White Oak Ash Daggers, the Celestial Dagger is immune to most magical interference. No amount of siphoning or dark magic can pull it out—only a specific celestial ritual or Hope’s own will can remove it.
- Visenya Can Feel Everything While Daggered – Unlike Originals who are fully unconscious when daggered, Visenya remains mentally aware, trapped in a dreamlike state where she experiences time but cannot move.
- It Was Meant to Be a Last Resort – Hope never intended to use the dagger unless absolutely necessary, fearing what might happen if Visenya ever woke up.
- It Was Inspired by the White Oak Daggers but More Personal – While the White Oak Ash Daggers were crafted by witches to control the Originals, the Celestial Dagger was created solely by Hope Mikaelson—not to control, but to protect the world from her own family.
