I've seen so many posts about anger towards Hope and I really don't understand. Yes what Hope did was selfish foolish and dangerous. Yes in a way her actions lead to Hayleys capture. BUT Everyone has got to stop hating so much on Hope. The girl was born into a seriously screwed up family. Her father sacrificed himself till she was seven and her mother raised her on stories of their family being that of noble qualities and fairy tales. Then everything happened with the hallow and her family was once again ripped away from her. She misses her daddy and tried contacting him and sees him ripping hearts from people chest. Her fairytale Knight and king was just shredded before her eyes at nine years old. And instead of mending that Klaus ran. He ran for five years while his daughter remained heartbroken. She was raised in a school and at home safe, protected, and naive. She truly believed her daddy no longer loved her. And in advice Kol mistakeningly tells her a family emergency or disaster brings them all together again some how. So what does a fifteen year old do. She gets an idea. I can keep her safe and hidden, no one will hurt her she's the crescent alpha and a hybrid and they all love hayley besides everyone knows better. She just wanted to find a way to get her family back. She thought it was totally safe. And then she trusted the wrong guy who used her to get to her mother and that racist bitch planned it all along. Greta was coming for them one way or another. She had Roman there to spy, she was a vampire in the community, tried to plant deceitful seeds in others minds and has one to many tricks up her sleeve. Hope is heartbroken over her mother. She blames her self (rightfully so) and she does need to feel the pain of those actions other wise she will never learn and become the strong woman her mother knows she can be. BUT she is not at fault for Hayleys's death. Hayley did the binding spell. She chose to throw her self and Greta out the door. Hope even listened to Hayley when she told her to run and find Klaus. She's learned the bad in the world. BUT to hate on the girl for Hayleys death is insane. She's a child. And as much as I've wanted to change about this season Hope is not one of them. She's rash, artistic, a romantic, impulsive, like klaus. BUT she's kind, strong, smart, and emotional like hayley. She has vampire abilities and her magic is insane. I think she's perfect and she would be a definite thing I would not change
