The parts of Hope shown in this were of her with her humanity of, she barely grew up with Klaus when she was a baby she was with Rebecca then Klaus for like a year, then Hayley for 15yrs, she technically caused her mom's death and when her dad died, she was a hero trying to do good by her family
He didn’t groom Hope to be an assassin, ya crack me tf up. He didn’t have a problem with it either though 😭. He couldn’t be around like that for various reasons, but you’re right, they live different lives and she needed to learn to protect herself at some point 🤷♀️
He did not groom her. People have been trying to kill Hope since before she was born, when she was a teenager, Klaus merely wished to clear her dark side with violence against people who threatened to kill her. Klaus actually is the one who stopped feeding on people because his little daughter was sleeping in the house. He was very considerate for her.
The black woman you were asking about, the actress is Maisie Richardson-Sellers. For a while, Rebekah, the blonde one, Klaus' sister, was trapped in that body. Most of the time you see her, it's Rebekah. Her actress was always rather on and off with the Originals so they found a way to work around her absence while still using the character. The person the body really belongs to is a witch called Eva Sinclair. She's a bit evil and starts to take back control of her body and causes some chaos for a few episodes. Just a minor antagonist in Season 2.
