“ | Your mother asked for my blood. She said nothing of the dark magic that would turn you into a monster! | ” |
Tatia was a Petrova doppelgänger. Both Klaus and Elijah fell in love with her. Their mother used Tatia's blood to turn them into vampires which eventually lead to her death at Elijah's hands.
Tatia was a member of the Petrova Family.
Early History
During the Middle Ages, Tatia lived in a small village with a child and a husband. However he died in battle but instead of throwing herself on his funeral pyre as expected of a Viking widow, she instead decided to move on and try to find love again. Later in time, she met both Elijah and Niklaus, both of whom fell in love with her. However she eventually chose Elijah. Esther, the mother of Elijah and Niklaus, used her in the spell to create the Original Vampires, with her blood as part of the wine laced with blood Mikael had given his children.
When Klaus had activated his werewolf gene and became a hybrid he went on a rampage in wolf form. When he awoke the following morning he was tended to by Elijah unbeknownst to them Tatia had followed them to see what happened. Seeing all the carnage created by Klaus she ran from them in fear and was pursued by Elijah. She had tripped and fell while trying to flee and cut her hand. The blood made Elijah lose control and attack her. She tried to defend herself but was no match and was killed. Elijah brought her corpse to a shocked Esther who used her blood as part of the spell used to bind Klaus's werewolf side, which resulted in Klaus's werewolf gene being dormant. Elijah then repressed the memory of how she actually died believing he had compelled not killed her in the woods and that Esther killed her when performing the hybrid curse.
Throughout The Vampire Diaries
Tatia was mentioned by both Klaus and Elijah during the second season. The first reference of her was presented in the episode Klaus, where Elijah was introduced to Katerina Petrova. Elijah says, "I'm sorry, you remind me of someone." In the same episode, Niklaus tells Elijah about "love" being a vampire's biggest weakness when Elijah tells Klaus about having feelings, caring and humanity. Klaus says that vampires do not feel and they do not care but then Elijah mentions about Tatia by saying "We did once" to which Klaus replies by saying "It`s too many lifetimes ago to matter."
In the episode The Reckoning, Rebekah mentions Tatia. She says "The Original one was much prettier".
In Bringing Out The Dead, Niklaus and Elijah reveal about their past with Tatia. They both reveal that they loved her and fought for her. Every man desired to be her suitor even though she already had a child by another man. It is also revealed that it was her blood which was laced in the wine they drank before getting killed by Mikael and leading to the creation of The Originals. She doesn't have an flashback appearance.Silas and other characters make reference to that all doppelgängers (except Elena Gilbert and Stefan Salvatore) have died. It was indicated by Markos later in the season that Tatia was deceased, because Elena and Stefan were the last remaining doppelgangers living following the death of the last remaining Silas doppelganger.
