While The Originals. There's a lot that can be told about a person based on who their favorite characters are. Do they tend toward the heroes or the villains? Are they a sucker for a tragic backstory?
The Originals is full of complex characters who ultimately want to make the world a better place, and who are willing to do terrible things to make it that way. A person's favorite character can show a lot about that person's personality and approach to life.
Vincent
Vincent Griffith dabbled in darkness, which prompted him to run away from anything that might tempt him that way again. Because he knows his inner darkness, he has the presence of mind to keep others from falling prey to their own. He lived in a society bound by rules, but let his morality decide his choices, not anybody else's ideas of what he should do.
If Vincent is your favorite character, you probably have a similarly strong sense of morality that goes past or even against the rules of your society. Because you've experienced your darkness, you are committed to saving other people from their own, a motivation that helps you relate to even the worst criminals.
Camille
Camille O'Connell never let anyone make her feel small. She saw her humanity as a strength and was willing to sympathize with people the rest of the world had already rejected. Though this instinct led to the most heartbreaking death in The Originals, it would go against everything fans know about her to hide away for her safety.
If Camille is your favorite character, you probably see the world as a place with more light than darkness. You're willing to put in the effort to get to know the people you care about, carefully navigating their defense mechanisms to see their true selves. While this approach may not always work, you feel it's always better to try than to dismiss someone outright.
Hope
Everything in The Originals was about Hope Mikaelson, and that was a hard position for her to find herself in. Her family suffered repeatedly on her behalf, which caused her to feel a lot of pressure to always be happy and perfect in their eyes. She was desperate to be worthy of all the sacrifices made in her honor, which made it difficult for her to determine her sense of self.
If your favorite character is Hope, you were probably a gifted kid, now struggling to make sense of adulthood. The truth is, you are special, but that should be a relief, not a burden. You don't have to work yourself to death to prove yourself to anyone. Those who sacrificed for your sake would rather you be happy than successful, so don't buckle under the pressure.
Freya
Stealing the spotlight as the best character in season two, Freya Mikaelson is the most-giving member of the Mikaelson family. When her siblings are in trouble, she will give everything of herself—and others—for their sake. After living so long without a family, she is extremely protective of what she has, jealously guarding it against anyone who means to take it from her.
If Freya is your favorite character, you probably have experienced great loss in your life, which has made you guarded. You are careful not to let new people too close because you're already anxious about losing the people you already have. Despite this, you are self-sacrificial, willing to give anything to keep the people you love safe and happy.
Davina
Davina Claire was powerful and self-righteous, certain that her way was correct. This led her to seek vengeance on those who betrayed her, with tragic consequences for all involved. Though Davina truly wanted little more than regular life, her past trauma shaped her into a force of nature, unwilling to let anyone hurt her that way again.
If Davina is your favorite character, you've probably had some bad experiences yourself, which prompted you to protect yourself with every skill you acquired along the way. Despite the armor, you built up around yourself, you are a good friend and lover, fighting for those you love as much as you fight for yourself.
Rebekah
Rebekah Mikaelson was guided by ion and love, always looking for the life (and the man) that would bring her happiness. However, Rebekah's greatest strength was always her greatest weakness as well, leading her to make her worst mistakes. Her quest for happiness often forced her to betray one part of herself to satisfy the rest.
If Rebekah is your favorite character, you are probably known as a dreamer and a romantic. You want to travel the world, have great adventures, and find true love. While those around you might call that side of you naive, it is brave to continue hoping for a brighter future when the world continuously insists on showing you the worst it has to offer.
Hayley
Hayley Marshall was introduced as a minor villain in The Vampire Diaries, but her character became much more complex in The Originals. She was devoted to her pack, sacrificing her potential happiness with Elijah for them. She was also the epitome of a Mama Bear, willing to do anything and everything for her daughter's sake.
If Hayley is your favorite character, you are probably the person in your friend group that people come to for brutal honesty. You are fiercely defensive of the people you care about, but that side of yourself often gets ignored in favor of your attitude. Despite that, at your core, all you want is for the people you love to never suffer the way you had to.
Marcel
Marcel Gerard had a strict sense of morality, particularly when it came to family and children. Though he was willing to be brutal when others threatened him and those in his care, it typically came from a need to protect those he loved. He was a born leader, connecting with his people and finding ways to make sure they were not harmed.
If Marcel is your favorite character, you probably hold yourself to a very high standard, always expecting excellence from yourself. You're unwilling to let anything be an excuse for failure, standing up again each time you are knocked down. This strength attracts others to you, which allows you to let your protective side shine.
Elijah
While Elijah might not have had the highest kill count in The Originals, he was more than willing to get his hands dirty when necessary. As long as they were promptly cleaned, that is. Elijah was the 'good brother,' keeping his promises and trying his best to make the noble decision in all cases. But that profound need for control was because of the darkness he held inside.
If Elijah is your favorite character, you have probably lived a life where you felt the need to be responsible for others. You like everything to have a sense of order because that makes you feel in control. Whether it was family or friends, there were unreliable people in your life, and you stepped up to keep them in line and them when they were suffering.
Klaus
Oh, Klaus. Klaus Mikaelson was the villain of The Vampire Diaries, but the hero of The Originals. He had a suspicious mind and a need for power that would make sure he never got hurt again. But that villainous exterior hid an artist's soul, wanting nothing more than to capture and celebrate the beauty and love surrounding him.
If Klaus is your favorite character, you probably feel like you let others take advantage of you. You wish that you had the strength to fight back as Klaus does, and the ability to absorb that much pain and still come out the other end fighting. You may not always feel like a hero yourself, but you have the internal strength needed to survive in any environment.
