Visenya-Anneliese Kassandra Daneliya Mikaelson[2], nicknamed and more commonly known as Visenya/Enya, was a major recurring character of The Originals and main character in Legacies. Visenya is the hybrid daughter of Kol Mikaelson and Davina Claire-Mikaelson. She is the granddaughter of Mikael, Esther Mikaelson and two unnamed grandparents. She is also the niece of Freya, Finn, Elijah, Niklaus, Rebekah, and Henrik, and the grand-niece of Dahlia. She is also the younger cousin of Hope Mikaelson, the tribrid daughter of her uncle Klaus and her aunt Hayley.
As result of her unique heritage[3], Visenya is the world's first true vampire-witch hybrid. She inherited her witch gene from both her mother and father, while her vampire legacy come from her father, who is one of the Original Vampires and the son of the Original Witch. Furthermore, through her father's Mikaelson's lineage and her mother's lineage, Visenya is witch royalty, and technically vampire royalty.
Visenya is a member of the Mikaelson Family and Claire Family and an unnamed witch family. Visenya is by birthright a member of the French Quarter Coven; due to her ancestors being consecrated and buried within New Orleans. She is only child to be fathered by an Original Vampire.
Background & History[]
Visenya Mikaelson was born on March 3, 2014, in New Orleans, the daughter of Kol Mikaelson and Davina Claire, conceived shortly after her father’s resurrection while the fertility spell had already taken effect in the ancestral realm. As the first true vampire-witch hybrid, she was unlike any being before her, possessing the magical strength of a powerful witch and the immortality and resilience of an Original Vampire. From a young age, her powers were overwhelming, often manifesting in uncontrolled bursts of magic that made her feel like an outsider, even within her supernatural family. Her early childhood was spent under the protection of her parents, but despite their guidance, she struggled to find balance between her two natures, especially with magic coursing through her veins while also having an inherent vampiric temperament. Recognizing the need for proper training, she was enrolled at the Salvatore Boarding School for the Young Gifted, where she learned to harness her abilities, study new spells, and explore rituals that could help her gain control over her immense power. Her relationships with her family were complicated yet deeply loving—Kol, ever the mischievous and rebellious Mikaelson, was fiercely protective of her, while Davina, a powerful witch in her own right, made sure she never lost sight of her magical heritage. Over the years, Visenya’s power continued to grow, making her a formidable force, yet she remained determined to master every aspect of her unique nature rather than be ruled by it. She developed strong bonds with her cousin and other supernatural beings at the school, slowly finding a place where she truly belonged. As she aged, she became more proficient in spellcasting, delving into ancient magic, blood magic, and even spells once thought impossible, blending her vampiric essence with witchcraft in ways never seen before. Despite her struggles, Visenya refused to be defined by the chaos of her origins, determined to carve out her own path while carrying the legendary Mikaelson legacy forward.

Season Four
In Gather Up the Killers, Five years have passed since the fall of the Mikaelsons, and Marcel rules over New Orleans unchallenged. However, beneath the surface, unrest brews as a group of unsired vampires arrives, seeking to challenge his authority. Meanwhile, Davina has spent the past years in hiding, protecting her daughter, Visenya Mikaelson, while still adjusting to her newfound immortality. Though their daughter is still young, Davina has become fiercely protective of her, fearing the day Marcel or any enemy of their family learns of her existence[4]. However, on the other hand, is determined to ensure Visenya has a life free from the cycle of violence and vengeance that has plagued the Mikaelsons. But with Marcel’s rule being threatened and Klaus still imprisoned.
In No Quarter[5], As the Mikaelsons awaken from their five-year slumber, Kol’s first instinct is to find Davina and their daughter, Visenya. He vanishes before his siblings can question him, heading straight to a secluded safehouse where Davina has been raising Visenya in secrecy. Now five years old, Visenya is a striking mix of both her parents—her father’s fierce spirit and her mother’s deep connection to magic. Upon seeing Kol, she hesitates, as she barely remembers him, but Davina reassures her. Overwhelmed with emotion, Kol embraces them both, vowing never to leave them again. However, Davina urges him to go, knowing that Klaus’ rescue is the priority. “Our daughter will need her family when this war is over,” she tells him. Reluctantly, Kol leaves Visenya in Davina’s protection, but the knowledge that he now has something—someone—worth fighting for makes him more determined than ever to end this battle quickly.
In Haunter of Ruins, As Hayley and Hope settle into their new home away from New Orleans, the Mikaelson family begins to regroup after the events that left Klaus imprisoned and the others cursed. Kol, still shaken from Davina’s miraculous resurrection. He watches over his daughter, Visenya, struggling with the weight of fatherhood and the constant fear that his child will be targeted because of her bloodline. Davina, now an immortal witch, insists that Visenya is more powerful than they realize, as her mere existence brought her mother back from death. Freya, while working on protecting Hope, also worries about Visenya. With both children possessing untapped power, she warns Kol that they must take extra precautions, especially since the witch targeting Hope could see Visenya as another valuable sacrifice. As the Mikaelsons fight to keep Hope safe, Davina remains hidden with Visenya, protected by Freya’s magic. However, when the witch hunting Hope senses another powerful presence, Davina is forced to cast an illusion spell to keep Visenya’s location concealed. By the end of the episode, after the immediate threat to Hope has passed, Elijah and Freya realize that their enemies may not stop with just one child. With both Hope and Visenya being potential keys to great power, their family has even more to lose than they originally thought.
In Keepers of the House, As Hayley searches for answers about the force targeting the children of New Orleans, she stops at a safehouse where Davina and Kol have been hiding with their child, Visenya Mikaelson. Davina, still adjusting to her newfound immortality, worries about the dark energy she has been sensing. She tells Hayley that Visenya’s blood carries something ancient and powerful—something she doesn’t yet understand. Kol, ever the protective father, warns Hayley to be careful, as whatever force is threatening the children of New Orleans could take an interest in Visenya. Hayley assures him that she will find out what’s happening and keep Hope, Visenya, and every child safe. Later, as Freya and Vincent investigate the supernatural disturbance, Freya briefly senses Visenya’s energy. Though she brushes it off, Vincent gives her a knowing look—something about that child is different, and it might be tied to the growing darkness in New Orleans.
In I Hear You Knocking, As Klaus deals with the dark magic haunting him, he remains wary of its effects on those around him—especially his young daughter, Hope. However, she is not the only child on his mind. Visenya Mikaelson, now a few years old, has been kept hidden from the growing war between Marcel and the Mikaelsons. Kol, fiercely protective of his daughter, has ensured that she remains out of harm’s way. At the compound, Freya attempts to break the dark magic’s hold over Klaus. While preparing the ritual, she notices Visenya watching her intently, her bright eyes filled with a wisdom beyond her years. Davina, now an immortal witch, enters and gently guides Visenya away, shielding her from the brutal reality of the battle between her father’s family and Marcel. Later, when Klaus’s torment worsens, his mind drifts into visions—ones that include not only Hope but also Visenya. A shadowy figure whispers taunts into his mind, questioning whether he is even capable of protecting his daughters. "You failed Marcel. You failed Elijah. You failed Rebekah. What makes you think your daughters won’t be next?" Klaus, shaken but enraged, fights back against the dark influence. Fueled by the need to protect his bloodline, he resists the magic’s pull. Meanwhile, Freya’s ritual takes effect, and she barely survives the strain of the spell. As the episode concludes, Klaus, still haunted by the lingering effects of the dark magic, finds himself standing in the nursery where Visenya sleeps. Kol watches warily from the doorway, silently daring Klaus to say anything threatening. But instead, Klaus simply mutters, "She is a Mikaelson. She will be strong." Then, without another word, he walks away, leaving Kol with an uneasy sense that something far worse is coming for them all.
In Bag of Cobras, As the Mikaelsons prepare for their grand party to lure out The Hollow’s servant, Kol hesitates to attend, torn between protecting his young daughter, Visenya, and standing by his family. Davina, ever the voice of reason, assures him that Visenya is safe under protective spells. She playfully reminds Kol that their daughter inherited both their stubbornness and strength—she’ll be just fine. During the party, as Klaus and Elijah manipulate their guests, Visenya remains in the Mikaelson compound under the watchful eye of Davina. However, as Vincent’s spell reveals the presence of dark magic at the gathering, Davina senses a faint ripple of that same energy near Visenya’s room. Alarmed, she reinforces the protective wards. Later, as Klaus and Elijah confront the traitor among their guests, Kol returns home to find Visenya drawing symbols eerily similar to those tied to The Hollow. Though she has no memory of doing so, it unsettles Kol and Davina, hinting that The Hollow’s influence may be spreading in ways they don’t yet understand.
In High Water and a Devil's Daughter, After the chaos that unfolded with Marcel, Kol has kept Visenya hidden in a safehouse under heavy magical protection. However, as The Hollow’s influence begins to spread, dark energy pulses through the city, disrupting spells—including the ones shielding Visenya. Realizing this, Kol rushes to retrieve her, fearing that her unique nature as the daughter of an Original vampire and an immortal witch may make her a target. Upon arriving at the compound with Visenya, Kol is immediately met with tension. Freya, sensing the disruption, warns that The Hollow’s servant could come for the child, given her unusual power. Klaus, though still wary of Kol’s decisions, acknowledges the danger and insists they keep Visenya inside with Hope, under Freya’s protection. Meanwhile, Hayley is surprised to see the girl, now a toddler, and can't help but feel a connection to her—another child born into the chaos of the Mikaelson family. While Klaus focuses on Hope, Hayley takes a moment to bond with Visenya, recognizing that she, too, will one day have to navigate the supernatural burdens of her lineage. As Freya strengthens the protection spell around the compound, the tension outside mounts. Elijah, growing impatient, refuses to sit idly by and decides to confront The Hollow’s servant on his own. Klaus warns him against recklessness, but Elijah is determined to act before the enemy gets too close—especially now that there are two children at risk instead of one.
In Voodoo in My Blood,While Elijah and Marcel set aside their differences to meet with Alaric, Kol remains at the Mikaelson compound, reluctantly tending to his young daughter, Visenya. Now a few years old, she is showing signs of both her vampire and magical heritage—her abilities manifesting unpredictably, much to Kol’s frustration and pride. Freya, sensing the growing darkness of The Hollow, warns Kol that Visenya’s unique nature makes her a potential target. The Hollow feeds on power, and a child born from an Original and an immortal witch is a beacon unlike any other. Though Kol tries to dismiss her concerns, deep down, he knows she’s right. Meanwhile, Davina, still adjusting to her new immortal state, is researching ways to shield Visenya from The Hollow’s influence. With Hope also being a powerful child, Davina fears that both girls could be instrumental in The Hollow’s plans if not properly protected. Back in the main plot, as Elijah and Marcel retrieve the artifact, the tension between them remains thick, old resentments surfacing despite their common goal. Unbeknownst to them, their fight against The Hollow is about to hit much closer to home—because while they focus on the larger battle, their own families are already at risk.
In Queen Death, As the threat of The Hollow looms over New Orleans, Kol struggles with his protective instincts toward Visenya. Though she is no longer a newborn, she has already demonstrated an unnatural resilience—stronger and faster than any ordinary child, even by supernatural standards. She is a hybrid of something never seen before, an Original vampire’s bloodline mixed with the power of an immortal witch. Kol has kept Visenya hidden, far from the escalating war, but with The Hollow growing stronger, nowhere feels truly safe. Davina, now an immortal witch, has been working to keep a protection spell around their daughter, but both she and Kol fear that Visenya’s unique bloodline could make her a target. While Vincent, Freya, and Hayley prepare for their mission to stop The Hollow, Kol debates leaving New Orleans altogether with Visenya. However, Rebekah urges him to stay, reminding him that their family always fights together. Kol ultimately entrusts Visenya’s safety to Davina, who insists that she won’t let anything happen to their daughter. As the episode unfolds, the battle against The Hollow intensifies. Visenya remains hidden, but an ominous moment occurs—The Hollow’s magic momentarily flickers through the city, and Visenya, miles away, reacts violently to it, her veins darkening for a brief moment before returning to normal. Davina sees this and realizes with dread that Visenya is somehow connected to The Hollow’s growing power, though the reason remains a mystery.

Visenya in her Ripper Phase
Despite her terrifying nature as a ripper, Visenya is not completely devoid of emotions or attachments. She deeply loves her family, though even they are wary of her when she is at her worst, knowing that she could turn on them in an instant if she lost control. She carries a deep sense of guilt for the horrors she has committed but also resents the part of her that desires restraint, as if taming her hunger would mean suppressing her true self. Visenya sometimes wonders if she should simply give in, allowing the predator within her to take full dominance. Her inner conflict makes her unpredictable—one moment she is the fiercely loyal Mikaelson who would do anything for her family, and the next, she is the ruthless killer who sees everyone as prey. The constant battle between her humanity and her monstrous instincts keeps her on edge, making her one of the most volatile beings in existence.
