Neda: You got us slaughtered, Katerina! Father and Mother, all our Aunts and Uncles, our cousins... baby Elisaveta... Me! Did you even care about the consequences to your actions?

Katherine: I never meant for any of that to happen, Neda! Never! I was devastated, thinking I lost all of you. Most of all you.

Katherine and Neda discussing what happened to their family.


Neli Pearson, born Nedyalka Petrova (Bulgarian: Недялка Петрова), more commonly known as "Neda", is a recurring character on The Originals and a witch of the Traveler subculture, though she is not bound by the Traveler curse due to her heritage, as well as the younger sister of Katerina Petrova, once thought to be dead until it was revealed that she had been resurrected. She is the daughter to Anton Petrov and Mariya Petrova (Harman), and the aunt to both Nadia Petrova and Adyelya Mikaelson, her sister's daughters by Markos and Klaus respectively.

It was revealed in The Originals that she had been resurrected by the Trinity Coven in 1494, alongside her mother, via channeling a Red Comet, a rare astronomical event and therefore a Nexus Vorti, and many Dark Objects gathered from different witch cultures. After being brought back to life, Nedyalka remained with her mother and the Trinity Coven, travelling the world and helping her fellow coven members to keep peace in the supernatural world, especially where covens, witches, and magic is concerned. Over the years, she slowly grew to resent her sister, especially as she kept track of her sister's actions over the centuries.

Eventually, at some point between the 15th and 19th century, she took on the alias "Neli/Neda Pearson."

Neda comes to the United States of America after hearing a rumor about Katherine Pierce being turned into a human — her intention is to seek revenge against her sister for the part she played in the death of their family members in Bulgaria, 1492. Using the resources of the Trinity Coven, Neda is able to successfully locate Katherine's whereabouts, and using the witches of New Orleans as a trap, she lures Katherine to the French Quarter to begin her plans. However, upon discovering that Katherine is pregnant from Sophie and Jane-Anne, Neda's plans drastically change and she decides to wait for the time-being before acting against Katherine.

It is Neda's actions — leaving the Trinity Coven, without informing anyone or getting permission, to come to the U.S.A. — that leads to the Trinity Coven finally becoming aware of Katherine, where she is, and the fact that she is pregnant (with the future heir of the Trinity Coven and the Harman Family).

Nedyalka is a member of the Petrova Family and the Harman Family, being directly descendant from the revered and royal bloodline of Hecate, The Witch-Queen. By birthright, she is also a member of the Travelers and the Trinity Coven.

History[]

Nedyalka Petrova (Cyrillic: Недялка Петрова) was the second child and daughter born into a noble and wealthy family in Bulgaria on October 31, 1475. Her father was Anton Petrov, a witch of the Traveler sub-culture, while her mother was a powerful witch named Mariya Petrova (Harman) from the Trinity Coven, though this was unknown at the time. Her older sister was Katerina Petrova, who she had a very close relationship with while growing up. She was fascinated with the use of magic, much like her sister, Katerina, and they would often visit the nearby village together to witness the performers of "magic" in the street. It was on one of these trips that Nedyalka's sister met Markos, a fellow Traveler, though they were both unaware of this. She soon learned that her father was a Traveler in hiding who had run away with their mother from their covens in order to be together (as it was forbidden to merge bloodlines with the Travelers).

In 1490, her sister gave birth to a child out of wedlock (Nadia). The baby was taken and given away, however, by their father. Nedyalka's sister was banished from their family household to England due to the shame she brought upon the family when she had a child out of wedlock. When her sister was sent away, Nedyalka was despaired, as Katerina was her best friend. She was furious with her parents--at her father for doing it and her mother for allowing it--for sending Katerina away. For months, Nedyalka refused to speak with her parents, while also plotting of a way to rescue her sister.

In 1492, late in the evening, Nedyalka and the rest of her family, her parents, her aunts and uncles, cousins, the entire Petrova Family and everyone in the village was slaughtered by Niklaus Mikaelson, who was in a rage and taking revenge upon Katerina for stealing the moonstone from him, running away, and turning herself into a vampire. Following leads to Bulgaria in order to search for Mariya and having heard of the slaughter that took place in a wealthy village in Bulgaria, the Trinity Coven arrived to investigate what took place, and upon discovering the dead bodies of Nedyalka and her mother, Mariya, the coven took their bodies, preserving them in coffins with a spell until they could be resurrected.

For over a year, the Trinity Coven researched for a way to resurrect Nedyalka and her mother, gathering Dark Object from different witch culture all over the world, and waiting for an astronomical event which they would be able to draw more power from. Finally in 1494, as the Red Comet was taking place, the Trinity Coven set up to perform a channeling ritual in order to resurrect Nedyalka and her mother. The Trinity Coven channeled power from the Dark Objects, as well as the Red Comet, to augment their magical powers, and cast a resurrection spell in order to bring Nedyalka and her mother back from The Other Side, then bound their lifespans to the Red Comet (which appears every 289 years, being a rare astronomical event).

Throughout the centuries, Nedyalka modernized her name to go by the alias 'Neli/Neda Pearson'. She slowly grew to resent her sister Katerina over the years for what took place with their family, in addition to hearing and learning of the growing stories and rumours surrounding the infamous Katherine Pierce.

Powers and Abilities[]

Neda, like her sister Katherine, was born a witch of the Traveler subculture; however, unlike the other members of the Travelers, neither Neda nor her sister were bound by the Curse that the Travelers suffered from. Due to the unique mix of her heritage—a Traveler bloodline mixing with the bloodline of the Harman Family, specifically the direct bloodline descended from Hecate and her heirs, which is also the bloodline that Cursed the Travelers as well—resulted in the impact of the Curse being negated. As such, Neda has access to all of the Travelers magic, in addition to regular Spirit Magic, without being held back by the limits of the Curse on the Travelers.
