— Davina to Vincent in Out of the Easy
Davina Claire is the former Regent of the Nine Covens, a former Harvest Witch born in the French Quarter of New Orleans, a current member of The Sisters, and also one of the main characters of The Originals. Davina is the adopted daughter of Marcel Gerard. Since Fire with Fire, she has become the new regent of the nine covens of New Orleans, replacing the deceased Josephine LaRue until Out of the Easy.
She became the main subject of a power struggle between the witches, vampires and werewolves of New Orleans when eight months prior to the series, Marcel heard about the The Harvest ritual from Sophie. Marcel and Sophie disagreed with the ritual, due to the fact that the resurrection of the four teenage girls sacrificed was not guaranteed, so Marcel intervened in the ritual just in time to rescue Davina, who was the only Harvest girl who had yet to be sacrificed. Because the ritual wasn't completed, Davina had the energy of the three other witches who were sacrificed before her, as well as that of the ancestors of the witch community flowing through her. This made her so incredibly powerful that it became increasingly difficult for her to control all of the magical energy within her. Furthermore, Marcel used her power, as well as her anger toward the witches, to his advantage; Davina's immense power afforded her the ability to sense when any of the French Quarter coven used magic, and she used this ability to help Marcel monitor and restrict the use of magic in the Quarter. As a result, at least one witch was killed by Marcel, whose new laws decreed that practicing magic was a crime punishable by death.
Ironically, it was Sophie, who initially didn't believe in the Harvest and told Marcel with the intention of convincing him to intervene, who created the plan that ultimately led to finding and sacrificing Davina in order to finally complete the Harvest. Her change in attitude regarding witchcraft and the faith involved in ancestral magic came after her niece, Monique Deveraux, was also sacrificed in the Harvest; she saw that Monique's power bleed out of her and into Davina, and suddenly realized that the Harvest was working, and not just a legend as she previously thought.
For most of her life, Davina's personality and actions were mainly defined by her desire to live a normal teenage life without magical powers. She became distrustful of Marcel, after his plan to take down Klaus failed, and he was forced to pledge his allegiance to him, along with the rest of the New Orleans vampires who lived through the fight. During this time, she became very close with Camille and Josh, the two people in the city who she felt she could trust. However, when the consequences of not finishing the Harvest began to affect everyone in the city, she eventually regained trust in Marcel and told him that she was glad to have lived the life that she had lived. It was then that she finally accepted her fate as a witch, and realized that dying in order to complete the Harvest was the right thing to do. She was supposed to come back to life after the Reaping; however, Celeste, secretly possessing Sabine's body, hijacked the energy from the ritual to bring three other powerful, deceased witches instead of the four girls who had been sacrificed. This left everyone believing that the ritual did not work, and that Davina and the three other Harvest girls were permanently dead. Davina was eventually resurrected in Le Grand Guignol, after the death of Celeste, and rejoined the New Orleans Coven. However, she continues to help Marcel with her magic. In From a Cradle to a Grave, she resurrects Mikael and binds him to her will, holding him captive in the same attic where Marcel had secretly kept her from the other witches months before.
With Monique, Abigail and Cassie dead, Davina is the only Harvest witch still alive. In Fire with Fire, in order to obtain the power necessary to resurrect the Original Vampire, Kol Mikaelson, Davina assumes the role of the covens' Regent, giving her access to the collective power and knowledge shared by The Ancestors of all 9 covens of New Orleans.
She presumably grew up in the French Quarter with a single, controlling mother, as her father left the picture before Davina was born and was not seen again. Davina went to public school with a boy named Tim, whom she met at age 10, and for whom she developed romantic feelings. It was mentioned that she took piano lessons. Davina was also best friends with Monique for some time before the Harvest, and was a member of the French Quarter witches. She was also one of the four young witches chosen for The Harvest ritual.
On the day the Harvest was to be completed, Davina and the other Harvest girls were deceived by the Elders regarding their fates and the events surrounding the sacrifice. They were told that the knife that was used on their palms for the blood sacrifice would put them in a peaceful limbo. Instead, Bastianna, the lead Elder who was performing the ritual, began to kill the girls by slitting their throats. As the last girl to be sacrificed, Davina witnessed the slaughter of the other selected girls, and was restrained by a fellow witch in her coven so she could not intervene. She felt betrayed by the Elders, as well as her mother, who stood by and witnessed the devastation and slaughter.
However, when Marcel and his vampires appeared, they effectively ended the sacrifice by killing the majority of the witches in attendance. In doing so, Marcel saved Davina's life and she lived with him for eight months afterwards. Marcel spent the next eight months hiding her from the witches, and using her powers to help keep the witches in subjugation out of punishment for what they did to her and the other girls. The witches later felt betrayed by Davina, and when she was finally sacrificed in the Harvest and her spirit went back into the earth with the rest of the deceased New Orleans witches who practiced ancestral magic, the Ancestors shunned her until she was resurrected. Once Davina was brought back to life, she returned to her coven for a while, but left after Monique and Abigail were killed. She then returned to her high school to resume a somewhat normal teenage life.
Throughout The Vampire Diaries
One of Marcel's daywalkers attends to Davina. She tells her that the witches are quiet and opens the window of her room, so she can look outside and get some fresh air. The daywalker denies her request out of fear that she will be discovered by the witches. Davina becomes infuriated that she is constantly told what she can and cannot do, and she angrily throws the vampire through a window with telekinesis.
Throughout The Originals Series
In Always and Forever, Davina is experimenting with her powers when Marcel comes and asks her about the witches. She says they haven't used magic as they know she can sense them if they do and voices her concern that the Originals might hurt him. Marcel says she has nothing to worry about, as she's stronger than they are.
In House of the Rising Son, it is revealed that Marcel gave Davina Elijah's daggered body, which he received from Klaus as a gesture of good faith. When Rebekah insisted that Marcel give her back her brother, Marcel took her to Davina's room and told her that she has not been very nice to him. Davina took Marcel's side and threw her out the window with telekinesis. The next morning, Marcel found her drawing in her room. She informs him that she's worried about Marcel as a result of the Originals being in town, and insisted that they shouldn't be in New Orleans. Marcel replied that it appeared that the Mikaelsons came to town to stay, and asked Davina if she could find a way to kill an Original.
In Tangled Up In Blue, Davina tried to stop Sophie's locator spell and weakened Katie with her magic. She is able to link herself to Marcel to save his life, but was weakened as a result. She tried to find out where Sophie was, but wasn't able to track where her magic was coming from. When Marcel arrived to thank her, she assumed that it was Klaus and/or Rebekah who tried to kill him, but he informed her that it was actually Klaus who saved him. He told her he planned to give Elijah back to Klaus, but Davina refused to allow him to give Elijah back until she figured out a way to kill them.
In Girl in New Orleans, Davina undaggers Elijah accidentally. Even though Marcel tries to give Elijah back to Klaus, Davina denies him the request, as she was not done with him yet. She had discovered that daggers hurt them, but didn't kill them. Davina convinced Marcel to allow her to attend the Dauphine Street music festival, on the condition that she must hang out with Cami, and that his nightwalkers would keep watch on both of them, just to be safe. Davina happily wonders on the street. She enters the Rousseaus' with Marcel meets Cami. Davina admits her romantic feelings for Tim to her, who was being compelled by Klaus to spy on Marcel. As a result of Klaus' compulsion, Cami encouraged Davina to talk to Tim. Even though Davina dismissed the idea at first, thinking it was stupid, she agreed eventually.
Following her advice, Davina met with Tim in St. Anne's Church, where she had been living since the Harvest. She was happy to see Tim again. Tim asked her how she'd been and if she'd come back to school. Davina told him that she'd to take care of important matters and she would not be coming back to school anytime soon. She said that she missed seeing him, listening to him as he played his violin. He started to play a song for her, but Klaus appeared and tried first to kindly convince her to join his side instead of Marcel's. As Davina believed that Marcel was protecting her and refused to join his side, Klaus threatened to kill Tim, which angered Davina so much that she unleashed her powers on him, bursting the church's windows, and destroying a lot of the pews. This did not injure Klaus in the slightest, but Tim was critically wounded. Klaus manipulated Davina by offering to feed Tim his blood to heal him, and to compel him to forget everything that had happened in exchange for her help in the future when he is in need of it. He eventually left Davina alone at the church, and when Marcel found her and asked her what happened, she was too angry to tell him. When she arrived back in her room, she found that Elijah had awoken from being daggered, after she had removed the dagger to examine it, not knowing that by doing so, the dagger would no longer be coated in white oak ash and thus ineffective.
In Sinners and Saints, the episode opened with Davina and Elijah talking. Given the Original's desiccated state, Elijah can barely contain his bloodlust, as his enhanced hearing causes him to hear the blood pulsing throughout Davina's body, thinning away what self-control he has. Noting this, she tempted him by offering him her blood, which he refused to take on account of her being, in his words, a "child." After Davina deliberately pricked her finger with a hatpin and offered a dribble to Elijah, he could no longer resist, and drank the small drop of blood, which left him completely rejuvenated. He asked her why she's siding with Marcel, so she explained what happened to her eight months prior to the beginning of the show: she had been chosen as one of four girls to participate in the Harvest ritual, where the witches of the French Quarter restore their connection to their ancestors' magical power by offering them the lives of four teenage witches. This offering was to appease their ancestors, who, in turn, would resurrect the four young witches and increase the amount of magical power the coven could access in order to help the witches better fight against the vampires.
Davina witnessed her three friends, Monique, Abigail, and Cassie all being sacrificed in the ritual, but she was saved at the last possible moment by Marcel, which prevented her from meeting the same fate. The magical energy of the three other Harvest witches who died were transferred to her, which is what gave her such immense power. Feeling betrayed by her own kind, Davina became what Marcel called "an ace up his sleeve," and helped him keep control over the witches by keeping him informed every time she sensed a New Orleans witch doing magic. She told Elijah that since the Harvest, all she wanted was a normal life, free of magic. She began to be overwhelmed by her feelings, which resulted in her magic shaking the entire church, as there was an earthquake. Elijah saw that Davina was struggling to control the immense amount of power inside her, and offered to help her gain control by allowing her to look at various pages of his mother's grimoires. During her time with him, Elijah also took the time to help repair Tim's violin so that Davina could give it back to its rightful owner.
In Fruit of the Poisoned Tree, Elijah helped Davina gain more control over her magic by giving her a page of Esther's grimoire which contained an unlinking spell called the Spell of Unknotting. His intention was that Davina could use the spell to unlink Sophie and Hayley, though he did not tell her that this was the case. He did tell her that if she could successfully complete the spell, he would bring her another page of the grimoire that contains a spell of her choosing. At first, Davina seems to have some difficulty completing the spell, due to the fact that it is in Latin, and not her usual French, but after some practice, she understands it more. Davina tried the spell once more and successfully unlinks Hayley and Sophie, which saved the life of the unborn Hope Mikaelson.
In Bloodletting, after Marcel learned that Josh had been compelled by Klaus to spy on Marcel, he brought Josh to Davina's bedroom so she could undo Klaus's compulsion. She informed Josh that it would be a painful process, but Josh agreed, knowing that the alternative would likely be his death. He asked how much pain he would feel, so Davina began the spell to undo Klaus' compulsion to demonstrate. After she had worked on the spell for a while, she felt badly about Josh's discomfort and gave him a break to catch his breath. She told him, "You need to think of something else. Take your mind off it. Do you like music?" Josh replied that he couldn't think about music at the moment, because she has been giving him "a voodoo lobotomy." Davina continued to try to distract him by asking him more questions; when she asked him if he likes Jazz, he admitted that he listens to club music. Davina pointed out that she's only sixteen, so she isn't allowed into clubs.
Josh then told her that when he was her age, he had already been in a hundred clubs, and admitted that things were much different now, since he became a vampire; he claimed now all he wanted to do was meet boys, feed on their blood, and earn a daylight ring so he would no longer have to only go out at night. Davina informed him that she preferred classical music, such as Puccini, Bach, Mozart. She said she even took piano lessons as a child, and confessed that she missed being able to play it; since she's in hiding, Marcel did not want her to play piano in case the noise revealed her presence in the church. She insisted that it wasn't Marcel's fault, because she knew he was just trying to keep her safe from her "coven of psycho witches who want to sacrifice [her] in a blood ritual." Josh apologized for everything that Davina had been through, but she told him not to be, because she planned to destroy them all, and once they were gone, she believed everything would go back to normal, so she could have her old life back. After she finally removed Klaus' compulsion from Josh's mind, she proudly informed him that he was free. She confessed that Marcel told her she had to erase Josh's memories of Davina, so he couldn't expose her identity to the witches, but she didn't want to, because she enjoyed his company, as she has very few friends. Josh promised her that he would keep her secret because he owed her his life, and they pinky-swore it, which began their friendship.In Reigning Pain in New Orleans, Klaus regained his title as King of New Orleans, and ordered Marcel to have her moved from her attic to a room in the Abattoir compound. Davina was resistant at first, but Marcel convinced her to trust him to make things right. She meets Hayley. It is at the compound that she learned that Agnes was killed by Elijah, which meant that she was no longer in any danger, because Agnes was the last remaining Elder, and without her, the Harvest could not be completed. At the compound, she is reunited with Josh, who had been trying to keep a low profile after joining Marcel's failed effort to take down Klaus. Davina and Josh had a friendly conversation, and he revealed that he had sneaked back to the attic at St. Anne's to retrieve Tim's violin, which Davina mistakenly left behind during her move. Once she learned that Marcel had lied to her, she snuck out of the compound and rushed to Cami's to get away from Marcel and Klaus. When Cami doesn't recognize Davina, Davina realizes that Cami has been compelled to forget her, and assured her that she could fix Cami, though it would hurt.
In The Casket Girls, Camille, Davina, and Josh were on the run, after finally removing Klaus' compulsion from Cami's brain. Feeling betrayed by Marcel and refusing to be used by Klaus, Davina searched for a way out of the French Quarter to hide, as she was sought after by both Klaus, Marcel and the vampires, as well as Sophie, Sabine, and the witches. Cami and Davina set off,going down the streets and later, to the St. Anne's church. Suddenly, Sabine and three witches attack them and knock down Cami. Angry, Davina lifts them up and snaps their necks. In the meantime, Josh received a phone call from Klaus, informing him that Klaus had Tim in his custody, again, which ultimately lured Davina back to the Abattoir. At the compound, a confrontation began between Davina and Klaus. Davina incapacitated Klaus first, by breaking his bones and forcing him to partially shift into a werewolf. She then used her magic to drop Elijah on his knees, before she caused him to cough up all the blood he had drank throughout the centuries. Rebekah arrived with Josh and incapacitated Marcel by stabbing him through the heart with a metal pike before Davina could punish him. Rebekah attempted to win Davina's trust by appealing to her, woman-to-woman, but they quickly realize that Klaus had compelled Tim to kill Davina and himself by drinking poisoned water. Marcel counters Klaus' plan by having a protection spell placed on Davina by Sabine. A weakened Davina is carried to her room by Rebekah and Marcel.
In Après Moi, Le Déluge, Davina is feeling the effects of the incomplete Harvest. Containing the full power of the Harvest she begins to hemorrhage magic. Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire threaten to destroy the city. She is still angry at Marcel because of the previous events of the episode. Rebekah comes in and makes her fall asleep by injecting a sedative into her body. Sophie convinces everyone the only way to save the city is to finish the Harvest. Marcel initially refusing to allow Davina's sacrifice, took her to an unknown location. Rebekah, with Thierry's help, found them and convinced them to complete the ritual. Before her death, Davina forgives Marcel because he saved her and accepts her fate, because she thinks that it would be selfish to take everyone else with her. Her throat is later slit by Sophie to complete the Harvest, but she does not come back. She is left to be mourned by who watched it.
In Dance Back from the Grave, Marcel was still mourning the loss of Davina. He informs Cami of her death.
In Le Grand Guignol, Davina is resurrected through Celeste's death.
In Farewell to Storyville, Davina feels uncomfortable after her journey into death. She said that unlike the three other girls who were sacrificed during the Harvest, the ancestors hated her because she escaped the Harvest and because of her alliance with Marcel and the vampires. They said that they would torment her if she continued to use her magic against the witches. She is completely lost and doesn't know who she can trust. When Cami tries to talk to her, Davina tells her that nothing that she learned in books will help her. She becomes angry when Marcel asks her to help Rebekah, believing that he is using her yet again. Finally, Marcel returns her to the witches so that Genevieve can lower the Boundary spell on the City of the Dead.
In Moon Over Bourbon Street, Davina is having a tough time fitting back into the witches' society. She can't use her magic because she hasn't been trained by the dead witches and Monique reminds her constantly that she chose to side with the vampires and shouldn't be one of them. She later meets Josh and tells him about it as well that she is regretting Marcel's decision to bring her back to the Coven. At Elijah's party, the werewolf Oliver flirts with her and is about to ask her to dance when Monique comes and steals him from her. Later, she returns to the garden with Josh and he convinces her that what her family thinks doesn't matter, using the story of his first and only boyfriend and his family's reaction to demonstrate it.
He then helps her to make a dead rose from earlier alive again. When Monique returns to the garden, Davina has returned all the garden's roses to life, showing that she once again has control over her magic.
In The Big Uneasy, Davina along with Abigail and Monique are seen chanting and she sees Monique channeling the Ancestors and she tells them it's time to kill Genevieve. During the festival, after Abigail and Monique show their abilities of controlling the Elements, Davina sets off fireworks with the Ancestral Element of Fire, making the audience cheer loudly. She also runs into Elijah and doesn't seem happy,as Klaus is still alive and Tim is dead forever. She is seen at the offering and is given no gifts, thanks to Genevieve and Monique's planning. Monique continues to smile smugly at her, so she decides to leave. She sees Josh and is happy to see him there, but Klaus shows up and unwillingly drags him. Klaus defends Davina and says it's unfair that she didn't get anything. He gives her a gift to win her over and after refusing it at first, Klaus says he will pardon Josh, so she accepts it. Davina opens it and discovers that it's a spell for daylight rings.In A Closer Walk With Thee, Davina is seen with fellow harvest girls and Genevieve, who teaches them about the spiritual world. Davina tries to communicate with Tim. So, she convinces Abigail to help her do it. The first attempt was unsuccessful. However, later that day, Mikael from the Other Side comes and tells her Tim has moved on and that he can help her take down Klaus if she can bring him back to life.
In The Battle of New Orleans, Josh and Davina are sitting outside in the sun, with Mikael's ghost haunting Davina. Davina tells Josh that she put a cloaking spell on Marcel, and that Josh needs to get out of New Orleans, as there's more than just Klaus to worry about, while eyeing the location Mikael's ghost had been mere moments before. However, before Josh could escape, Klaus attacks him and bites him in order to force Davina to assist him in the hunt for Marcel. When Davina hesitates, Klaus responds by not curing Josh once he learns what he wants, saying that Josh will be cured later, to ensure that Davina doesn't do anything to help Marcel. As Davina tends Josh and promises to keep him alive, Mikael once again appears, and derides her efforts to cure Josh, noting that, even if she succeeds, it will just happen again and again, until Klaus eventually kills him. When Josh awakens, Davina tells him that she's going to fix him.
In From a Cradle to a Grave, Davina arrives at the compound to find the vampires have been bitten by werewolves and are dying. Marcel is among them and Davina says that she needs Klaus's blood. She goes to where Klaus and Marcel had fought and performs a spell to gather what blood he spilt. However, there is only enough for one person, and Marcel forces her to choose Josh over him. She starts to cry. Davina accompanies Marcel and Camille to a storage room where Father Kieran had stored many dark objects and other tools that he could use as weapons against the supernatural. She finds and gives the devil's star to Marcel to make Klaus bleed. Recognizing several objects as having been spelled by witches, Davina takes some to use in her ritual to revive Mikael. With Mikael revived, he slaughters the remaining vampires in the compound before finding the White Oak Stake so that he could kill Klaus. However, Davina had tied Mikael to one of the objects that she had used to resurrect him and revealed that he was now enslaved to her. She takes him to the attic where he had been imprisoned and tells him that he will remain there until she is ready for him to punish Klaus, and not a second before.
In Rebirth, Davina has returned to high school after telling her coven that she was done with them. She is first seen in an old record shop which she frequently goes to. While speaking to the owner, she noticed a young man, who leaves, only for Oliver to come in. He greets Davina, but she dismisses him, and tells her to leave, however, she doesn't do so. As more werewolves come in, it is revealed that the owner is a vampire and, according to the new rules of the city, they are sentenced to death. As the wolves attack him, Davina uses her powers to stop them, giving him time to escape. She later goes to St. Anne's Church where she gets annoyed at Mikael's attempts to show off, before she feeds him and tells him that she will only let him kill Klaus when she finds a way to free her friends from Klaus's sireline. The next day, she returns to the store to find it closed. A young man comes up to her and, after a few comments on her music taste, introduces himself as Kaleb. Davina reveals her name and shakes his hand.
In Alive and Kicking, She is first seen heading to the attic after leaving a shop. Davina is still trying to unlink Marcel and Josh from Klaus' sire line, with Mikael mocking her attempts but at the same time offering his help. Davina rejects it, expressing paranoia that Mikael will trick her into breaking her control over him. She receives a text from Kol, inviting her out to coffee. As she leaves that attic to go meet him, it is revealed that Kol sent the message to distract her while he went there, however he was unable to enter because she'd locked the attic door with a spell, leaving Esther to speculate about what Davina was hiding. Marcel later contacts her and she goes to meet him, reuniting with him. She hugs him and tells him that he was stood up by a guy. He asks her to find the White Oak Stake but Davina promptly refuses, stating that she wouldn't find it just for it to be handed over to the Originals. Elijah steps in to further attempt negotiation but she condemns his and Klaus' actions, and leaves. Elijah realizes she has the stake however, and informs Marcel.
Davina goes back to the attic and continues to work on her spell, and reminds Mikael that she owns him. Davina and Kol go on a date later that night, and get to know each other. Davina tells him about her relationship with her family. He complements her and reveals that he is also a witch, saying that he admires her for telling her coven to shove it, noting a number of similarities between them. Marcel keeps trying to call her and she excuses herself to take the call, arguing with Marcel about her possession of the stake and telling them that she's leaving the bar and to not try and find her, but Marcel and Elijah continue after her. She returns inside to Kol, with the place being cleared out for a 'private party', but a number of wolves attack Davina. Davina takes one down, however, it's revealed that there's more of them. She gets thrown and is put in a position when she must call for Mikael, who arrives and kills several of the wolves before Davina accidentally loses her bracelet for a moment. Mikael tries to kill her but is stopped by Elijah, and Davina regains control of Mikael with the aid of Marcel, before the Original can kill his son. She sends him back to the attic while Elijah, Marcel and Kol look on in horror, before leaving herself.
In Live and Let Die, Davina takes Mikael to her family's abandoned cabin, so they can hide from Klaus while she can finish her spell. Mikael keeps reminding how weak and fearful she is, while Davina replies that despite this, she is still in charge. She and Mikael spar for a few moments after he tells her that he can overcome werewolf venom and seemingly is not affected by it. He tells her that he was her age when he started being taught by his father and that he would have rather torn every muscle rather than let him see him strain. Davina, in the middle of stick-fighting with him, tells him that her mother tried to sacrifice her and her father took off when she was born before springing her ankle and complains, but Mikael tells her to get up unsympathetically, saying that the "ability to endure pain is the warrior's true weapon, master that and nothing has power over you" letting her know that that is how she is supposed to be strong. He harshly orders her to get up and Davina complies.
Davina gets back to the cabin and calls Kol to help her out with her ankle. He arrives and applies a horrid-smelling ointment from injury. Davina feels that the pain is gone and tries to stand only to fall, who stops her from falling down. He changes focus to Davina's unfinished spell, asking her what's she's up to. Davina hesitates, making Kol remark that she's distrustful. Davina asks him if he trusts her. Kol tells her that she won't fool her and amuses her by joking.Davina feels tired, so she goes to sleep as Kol searches her house for the White Oak Stake. After being threatened by Mikael, he goes to Davina to de-spell her bracelet. However, Davina awakens before he does so and gets a text message from Camille, who warns her that Klaus is on his way. She tells Kol to help her with a spell, which they begin to do in the living room as Klaus's car pulls in to the driveway. As Klaus looks into the window of the room where Davina and Kol are but sees nothing, implying that Davina and Kol are doing a spell.
Klaus almost leaves before he sees the crest of his Viking People on a fighting staff and he throws the stick into the window. The window shatters and Davina and Kol fall back before it can kill them, but Davina is knocked out in the process. As Klaus demands she let Mikael out from outside the house, Mikael sees this as a chance for Kol to disable Davina's bracelet, and Kol obeys after being threatened.
In Red Door, Cami and Kol check on Davina. Cami plans to take her to a hospital. Kol strokes Davina's hair and makes her sleeping comfortable after the Hybrid leaves to chase Mikael, he tells her that she should wake up so they can escape together. Davina awakens in the house, finding out from Kol that Klaus had previously been there and left to chase after Mikael. After trying to summon him with her bracelet, Davina realizes that Mikael will kill Klaus, so she decides to start her spell.
Kol says that he's impressed that a wee girl like her could make up a difficult spell, offending Davina, who tells him that she can give him a list of people who've underestimated her and never did it again. Kol offers her his help in the spell to unlink her friends. She refuses at first, thinking that there's nothing he can do as the spell must be done in reverse, binding a linking and sirebond spell and then using the Incantation in reverse, thus unlinking instead of binding. Kol says the spell in the manner of which it is meant to work and Davina is impressed, telling him that he can help.
Later, while the two cast the spell, Davina gets agitated as it is not working. She shakes her head, ordering Kol to stop chanting. She tells him she will channel his power as she grabs his arms. As she does so, Davina goes through his memories, absorbing them. She finds out that he broke the link she'd established to control Mikael and that he is the former Original Vampire, Kol Mikaelson, who also messed with the binding root she had attempted to use to unlink the sireline. Davina lets go of him. An enraged Davina shouts that he is one of them and telekinetically throws him to the door, calling him a liar and then back to a wall. Kol retaliates, however, Davina easily overpowers him. She is angry that her friends might die because of him. But when Kol explains his situation, Davina believes him and asks him to show her how he dispelled her bracelet.
The next morning, Davina and Kol are heading out when he tells her that it's tricky to bleed power out of a dark object. She replies that she wants to drain the White Oak Stake. Kol ridicules this idea, as the Stake is too powerful too be drained, just disabled temporarily, thus destroying it's power would be fighting Nature itself. Davina believes otherwise, insisting that she doesn't have time and if he has a better idea, he should tell her. After he asks what she's going to do, Davina, angry that he underestimated her, informs him that even though he's disorientated the power of her bracelet, she cast a spell that would make sure she could always find Mikael.They're lead to an abandoned warehouse and Davina rushes into the house where Mikael and Klaus are facing off, only to be stopped by Kol, who insists that she isn't strong enough, and convinces her when he implies that they're trying to save her friends offering her his power to channel. Davina does so, absorbing his energy and draining the Stake just as Mikael kills Klaus with it, but he does not die. Mikael, who figures out that Davina is behind it, shows himself to the two witches who are stopping the Oak's power. Davina holds him off but is stopped when Kol releases her stop Mikael. Mikael knocks his son and bites a drained Davina, stopping the spell. But as he goes back into the other room, he sees that Camille has pulled the stake out, and he is confronted by everyone, including Davina.
Davina checks on Kol's wounds and asks him if he's alright. Marcel comes in and starts to reprimand Davina her actions, but she asks to do this later. Davina tells him that Kol's her friend and he's helping her. Marcel argues that he's helping her to wage war on Klaus, helping him to get killed in the process. Davina replies that she saved Klaus's life to protect him. But He reminds her that she was the one who brought Mikael back to life. Kol interrupts before it gets too heated. Marcel tells her to stay put until he comes back. Kol warns her to leave because his brother isn't going to be grateful. Davina tells him that she isn't afraid of him and pulls out the White Oak Stake. Davina tells Kol that he's going to help her get even with Klaus, but she agrees with him that they need to leave. Davina steals his car keys and gets to the driver's seat.
In Chasing the Devil's Tail, a couple of days after the Mikael incident Davina is seen in a motel looking at her reflection in a shattered mirror and starts chanting a spell which repairs it slowly. As she chants, Kaleb shows up behind her and distracts her, making the window shatters again. Davina informs him that she is trying to fix the damage that he did to her Delinking Spell, informing him that she is only with him because of his witchy encyclopedia brain. Kol tells her that she should sleep, to which she counters that it is hard to sleep with a thousand-year-old psycho in the next bed. Davina reveals that she wishes for him to stop calling her darling, trying to be funny and to stop fooling around. Kol tells her that her resistance of his sexual advances are surprising, but the two of them can do big things if she trusts him. Davina replies that she doesn't care about his secrets, before he is summoned magically by his mother as magical symbols burn onto his arms.Later, whilst in the car, Davina drives the car, while Kol speaks of his history after he comments that Davina doesn't have fun with magic. He tells her stories about himself before turning into a vampire, being the only one of his siblings to have developed his abilities. Davina asks him if that is why Esther purified his spirit as a witch, to which Kol answers that his body would be useful for spying on her. Davina mentions that she can't believe that Esther sent him to flirt with her, but Kol assures her that the flirting was all him, making Davina smile.
Davina is called by Kol to the City of the Dead where he tells her about Esther's plans for her. Davina - unimpressed - asks him if that is the reason why he called her. However, Kol tells her that her blood is needed to open the Claire Crypt which was sealed by her ancestor, thus only a Claire's blood could open it. Davina relents and the two enter the crypt, where he had placed many dark artificial objects a hundred years prior, making Davina wonder how he had collected them. He tells her about Kemiya, revealing his plans with the dagger he had hidden, making Davina question that he had been hanging out with her for power. But Kol explains that Kemiya needs chemistry. He grabs a rope and gives Davina the other end of it and starts a spell, asking her to follow. When Davina resists holding his hand, Kol suggests that they make out instead, but that would be entirely distracting. The rope ignites into flames. Davina finally feels attraction to Kol and but the rope explodes and tumbles to the earth. They pick it up and see that it has turned to a golden thread which he wraps around her wrist to replace the one he broke. Davina expresses her excitement that they changed it, and he tells her that they are going to change everything.
Later, Davina tells Kol that she needs to get home as it's late and Kol correctly guesses that she must have been lonely in the attic as a witch needs a coven. Davina asks Kol when they can begin to work on the dagger and he answers that they will soon, but they have a lot to do first. Kol tells her that she's going to like him and he'll let her pretend that she doesn't already.
After Davina falls asleep, Kol lifts her to the Attic, putting her down to rest in her bed. When Davina awakens, she sees that he is gone and marvels silently at the new golden bracelet she created, but she soon notices that the Stake is gone from her bag and is unhappy, as she believes that Kol betrayed her.
In The Brothers That Care Forgot, Davina is seen walking into Marcel's place, believing him to be right about Kaleb's dark intentions as her stake has gone missing. Marcel informs her that he was the culprit and Davina is visibly unimpressed. Marcel tells her that he will put in a good word for her to Klaus and she must stay put in the apartment with Josh.
Davina hangs out with Josh. They talk about new things in their lives as Davina throws darts. She reveals her annoyance about Klaus terrorizing them, being the center of their problems. Davina gets a plan and tells Josh to invite his "hot" boyfriend Aiden, which he does. When Aiden shows up, Davina greets him and says she has to go order Thai and leaves them after some friendly small-talk, her actions indirectly causing Aiden and Josh to make out for the first time in her absence. Josh is surprised to not have heard applause from the witch and it is revealed that she has left and has gone to her ancestral crypt, where she gathers ingredients for a spell and drinks dark fluid once it's finished.
Davina makes her way to the compound where she snaps Marcel's neck, who tries to stop her the second she enters. After Klaus tells her she is not as powerful as she was when she possessed godly powers, she responded by telling him she can still kick his ass and throws him through a door violently. Klaus gets up easily and bites her after she taunts him using Mikael, telling him that he is weak and that he couldn't even kill Mikael when he had the chance. While consuming Davina's blood, Klaus gets poisoned and falls unconscious temporarily. Davina smirks in victory.
After Marcel wakes up, he tells her that Kol is on Klaus' side now. Davina angry, tells Kol that Klaus is the real problem, but after Cami shows up and they discover what happened to her, Davina starts seeing Esther as a threat as well. Davina is convinced by Cami to awaken Klaus, as they need him to stop Esther to stop her from being possessed by Rebekah, contrary to her plans of bleeding Klaus out and dumping him in the Mississippi. Davina informs Klaus that she beat him yet again.
Later, she is seen talking with Kol. She tells him that he should be glad for not stealing the stake as she would be the one torturing him. When Kol asks her if she trusts him, Davina nods in return, confirming her trust for him. Klaus comes in and asks Davina to leave him alone with his brother, Davina grabs her coat and leaves, telling him that she can't stand being around him.
In The Map of Moments, Davina and Kol prepare a voodoo doll that'll protect Camille against Esther's magic. Davina is worried that hers and Kol's power won't be enough to defend Cami against a witch like Esther. After Kol makes a remark, Marcel threatens him, making Davina wonder about their history. Kol tells her about the Fauline paragon diamond, giving Davina an idea to steal it back.
Later, after convincing Kol to do so, Davina searches the Compound for the "Fauline Paragon Diamond". Davina finds a picture depicting the Original Family and sees Kol in it, asking if it's him in the portrait and Kol admits he was hotter back then, which Davina ridicules playfully. Kol reveals that his siblings were a group of three that never included him but included Marcel, and tells her that Rebekah once did him a solid.
After convincing Klaus and Marcel to give up the paragon diamond in exchange for helping them save Cami and stop Esther once and for all, Kol asks for the White Oak Stake, which he wants to use as a way of making his mother not suspect him of his current affiliations, which Davina is unhappy with, but they agree after he gives them his word.
After Kol leaves, Davina and Marcel explain the spell to Camille: they plan on doing a spell that'll link Esther's hourglass to their's, thus it'll mirror the Original Witch's and once the last sand falls, she'll attempt a spell that'll jam Esther's incredible power and redirect it back to Esther, interrupting any attempt Esther herself might have at body-jumping them.
After Kol links the hourglasses, Davina watches her hourglass from the Compound, counting down. Before it is timed back at the City of the Dead, Kol signals Klaus to attack Esther, who kills her before the last sands fall, at which point, back at the Compound, Davina begins the spell quickly, redirecting Esther's incredible power and directing it back to Esther, jamming her power, while it has drastic effects on Rebekah and Camille, the collision causes them to shake violently as their spiritual essences are quaked and fall unconscious while simultaneously causing both hourglasses to explode under the pressure. Davina, who is startled by her own power surge, admits she does not know if the spell worked or not. When Camille awakens (and Rebekah does not) and realizes that she suddenly loves her stupid name, a relieved Davina is there to hug her.
As Kol and Davina walk on the street, he reveals that the real solid Rebekah did for him was betraying him out to Klaus, which lead to Kol being daggered for another near-century. In retribution, Kol didn't prepare Angelica Barker but another witch and the spell that Davina did not only jammed Esther's power, but landed Rebekah in the body of a witch, trapped in a cottage. Davina is hesitant to accept this, but Kol assures her that Rebekah is, though Davina's unhappy, safe. He gives her the diamond. Kol asks her to close her eyes and after she obliges, he kisses her passionately and after she opens her eyes, she smiles, stands on her toes and kisses him back.
It is revealed in this same episode by Elijah, after Hayley is afraid that should a witch as potent as Davina find out about Hope she would attack her as she is an enemy to Klaus, that Davina will not be a threat to Hope as all she will be is an ally as she has the potential to become the next leader of the New Orleans Coven once Esther is out of the picture.
In Gonna Set Your Flag On Fire, at Kol's request, Davina arrives to the abbatoir to free the trapped vampires and werewolves. She tries to touch the barrier, but Kol stops her, claiming that it's nasty. They smile at each other and start chanting a spell, but are unsuccessful, which leads her to realize that Vincent must be channeling something, possibly a dark object. So, they try something different. They quickly set up their new spell and successfully interrupt Finn's spell for 60 seconds. Klaus comes in and throws Kol with the trapped, hungry vampires. Davina, worried, tells Klaus that they will kill him. Later, she asks Marcel to keep Kol alive. She glances sadly at them for the last time before leaving.
In Brotherhood of the Damned, Davina teams up with Klaus to find Finn and free her trapped friends. Finn blocked her locator spell, so, Davina sets up a circle with ruins made of salt, in an attempt to try something different. Klaus keeps interrupting her, which frustrates her, and says that it would help her if he didn't stand over her like a stalker. Klaus reminds her that they share a mutual interest, but Davina answers that he doesn't care about Kol, so their goals aren't the same. Klaus orders her to pick up the pace, which amuses her. She is successful in Finding Finn, informs Klaus of his location, that he's channeling their parents and is using representative magic. As they set off, Klaus loses consciousness. Davina leans down near his body and starts to slap him frantically, ordering him to wake up. Suddenly, Klaus' phone starts ringing, she picks it up and realizes that it's Cami. They inform each other that both, Klaus and Elijah have collapsed and aren't waking up. Davina groans, realizing that Finn had trapped all of his brothers, including Kol. They are confused, not knowing what to do next.
After Klaus wakes up, she comes and asks him about what happened. He sarcastically replies, thanking her for showing concern. He informs her that her friends are in trouble. They leave together to look for Marcel and his vampires. They arrive at the French quarter, Davina says that everything was fine here. To find them more quickly, they decide to split off. Davina looks around the street, until she sees Kol among the crowd. Relived, she smiles broadly, runs towards him and kisses him passionately.
In Sanctuary, Davina wakes up in her family's tomb, after a night of being asleep. Kol greets her, preparing the spell for the dagger. Davina didn't have a quiet sleep, because she was muttering about how she wanted to kill Klaus. She questions Kol, not sure if he knows how to make the dagger. After he convincingly answers her, she states that she's past any second thoughts. Suddenly, her phone starts buzzing. After she reads the messages sent by Aiden, she shows them to Kol and runs off, because Josh and Marcel are still missing.
She brings Aiden to the tomb. He brings Josh's belongings to help Davina locate him. After Kol makes a remark, Davina tells him to shut up. After the locator spell is done, Davina stops Aiden from going alone, as it would be a suicide mission. Even though it happened off-screen, Kol mentioned that using him as a bait to distract Finn, while Davina and Aiden were rescuing the vampires, was indeed her idea.
Davina and Aiden sneak into the shop to rescue the vampires, but Finn wakes them up. The hungry vampires gather around them. As they were outnumbered, they decide to flee, only rescuing Josh, as he had his neck snapped by Aiden and was unconscious.
In I Love You, Goodbye, Davina is seen with Josh in the attic, remarking on the fact that he still doesn't look alright. Josh asks her if he had went after Aiden. Davina informs him that he was up all day and night until the spell was broken. As Josh thanks her for saving him, Kol comes in and hands him a blood bag, and asks him to leave. Davina and Josh share a hug, before he departs. Davina asks Kol where he was yesterday, crossing her arms. She Shows anger over the fact that he didn't call her and thought that she could not help him. To make up for it, Kol offers her the chance to finish the dagger.
They arrive at the tomb and get ready for the spell. When Kol asks her if she's ready, Davina answers that she doesn't know, as she hadn't done it before. However, Kol reassures her and Davina, excited, agrees. They successfully make the golden dagger. She picks it up and smiles proudly. Kol leans in and kisses her. Suddenly, Kol lets go of her and his nose starts to bleed heavily. Davina, worried asks him if he's okay. Kol replies that he's fine and invites her to the wedding. Before leaving to get ready, Davina tells him that they will be dancing together.
Davina arrives at the wedding. She looks around, confused, but Josh calls her. She smiles and sits next to him. But when Aiden comes, she gets up so the couple can sit next to each other. As the marriage is celebrated, Davina and Josh walk on the streets. After being assured by Josh that he's alright, they see Aiden showing off his new abilities. Davina jokes that at least Josh's boyfriends showed up so, he grabs her hand and spins her around to make her feel better. However, she notices Kol, who is standing nearby. She runs up to him, grabs his hand and realizing that he's cold, asks him if he's okay. Kol reveals the truth about Finn's curse, shocking Davina.
Davina, with Rebekah, looks for a way to save Kol. They go through notes and books. Davina had an idea of using transubstantiation and combining it with a protection spell, however Rebekah tells her that Finn's spell blocks it, and therefore is useless. Kol asks Rebekah to leave temporarily, comes up to Davina and tells her that she owes him a dance.
They dance together in the cemetery. Davina can't hold back tears and cries. He starts coughing, panicking Davina. She holds his hand and kisses it, before he says goodbye. However, Rebekah, Elijah and Klaus come and stop him. Davina, in her last attempt to save Kol, does a spell on a necklace and crawls back to him after finishing it. She hands it over to him, frantically, but Kol tells her that he's not scared. He smiles at her, and Davina tries to smile back at him, but fails as her emotions overcome her. Davina cries and breaks down in sobs, as Kol dies smiling in Rebekah's arms.
In Save My Soul, Off-screen, Davina has been searching for a way to bring Kol back to life by studying his spell books. After Rebekah arrives, she informs her about the situation with her host.

In Night Has A Thousand Eyes, Davina is seen mourning Kol at a grave bearing Kaleb's name, in the crypts of the cemetery. Klaus approaches her to ask for a favor in regards to Mikael and Davina tells him that she is too busy mourning another dead boyfriend to help. Hearing this, Klaus reminds her that she is not the only one to be grieving Kol before making her an offer. He explains that he is in possession of the ashes of Kol's original body from the first time he died, and that if she helps him with Mikael, he will give her the ashes as they are a necessary part of the spell to bring him back to life. Davina agrees to this and helps him locate Mikael, as well as create a weapon to kill Dahlia, in exchange for his remains. She reactions to Klaus and Aiden's conversations, believing that Josh would be upset if he knew about their alliance and Aiden's double agent status, but Klaus dismisses Davina as he's not afraid of Josh. Davina confronts Klaus, asking him what it finally feels like to be someone who cares for something or someone even more then himself, after dismissing others feelings for so long. Klaus' is affected by her words but doesn't comment. Later they meet up again and Davina is surprised to see both Klaus and Mikael working together, though Klaus denies that their alliance is a friendly one, and that they're merely united to do the thing they both love the most - murder people, specifically Dahlia. Klaus' requests that she make their weapon and Mikael gives his 'little witch' the ingredients and a knife to bind them to. The two of them bicker and Davina seems almost amused. In the end, she does the spell and reaffirms her deal with Klaus, requesting Kol's ashes once more.
In When the Levee Breaks, Davina is approached by Aiden and Josh to create an object that will prevent Hope from using magic, so that Hayley and Jackson can escape with her. Davina grows sad and tells them that if Kol had asked her to run away with him, he wouldn't have had to ask her twice. Davina does the spell. Later, Marcel approaches Davina to convince her to help them dagger Klaus, when she tells Marcel that while he helped save her from Eva, he wasn't there for her when Kol died, and that's when she needed him the most, even if he didn't like Kol. She is reluctant to hand over the dagger as Kol gave it to her for protection, and she'll decide if it gets used. During the night, she is with Josh to say farewell as he is planning to leave the city with Aiden, however the two of them come across Aiden's body. Unaware that Dahlia killed him, they believe that he was murdered by Klaus for his betrayal, and they mourn him together before Davina makes her way to Algiers, where Marcel is. Marcel comforts Davina as she cries, and she hands over the gold dagger, allowing Elijah to use it to put down Klaus at the end of the episode.
In City Beneath The Sea, Davina is first seen when Cami calls her asking her for help with finding a spell to help them. Together, Rebekah, Cami and Davina come up with the idea to use a golem.
In Fire with Fire, she and Rebekah work on removing the linking spell that was placed on them and the other children. Davina makes up her mind that she wants to become regent of the nine covens in New Orleans. Davina and Vincent then meet up with the elders. When Vincent offers Davina in replace for him for regent they refuse as Davina has sided with vampires many times and that there is no stopping her from doing it again. Davina steps up and gives a speech about that she was sacrificed for her coven, and that she only sided with the vampires because it was the witches that was trying to kill her. She asks "who here has stood up against vampires?" As she was the only one who obviously had, the elders agreed to make her the next regent. Later that night, Davina walks towards the center of the cemetery holding a torch in her right hand. She steps up on the alter and turns around facing the covens before giving a speech that the witches will no longer be used or afraid.
In Ashes to Ashes, Davina is first seen preparing to resurrect Kol. She pours Kol's ashes into a crypt. Vincent enters, and complements her for using earth magic. Vincent then, again, tells her that the ancestors will only give her such power once. She responds with that she is sure that she wants to use the power on Kol. Later, she is visited by Rebekah, who is back in her original body. Davina is surprised, and says that she has given up on her vow that she gave to help resurrect Kol. Rebekah leads her outside where Rebekah distracts her while Elijah is busy in the crypt exchanging Kol's ashes for Esther's. Rebekah tries to explain that she had no other choice but to return to her body. Davina apologizes for over reacting and Rebekah told her they needed her help and Davina asked what she could do, to which Rebekah stated they needed to bring Esther back instead of Kol. Davina got angry and refused to believe Rebekah when she said they would find another way to save Kol, and thinks she was just turning her back on her promise, Davina in anger starts to cause Rebekah pain by breaking bones in her body, causing Rebekah to fall to the floor, telling her that she is going to bring back the only one of them that has ever meant anything to her. Back in the crypt, Davina performs the resurrection spell where to her surprise, a woman hand shoots out of the hardened dirt. As Esther's body arises, Rebekah comes in and Davina is angry at her,then it was revealed by Elijah that Rebekah had just been distracting Davina so he could switch the ashes.

In For the Next Millennium , It's shown that she's having trouble with The Ninth Ward Coven especially Kara Nyguyen who opposed her due to them believing she's a vampire sympathizer. At a meeting Davina declares that the Ancestors don't want another turf war with the city vampires. Kara retaliates against Davina which angers and humiliates her. After listening to Marcel's advice later that night Davina magically lures Hayley to Lafayette Cemetery stating she needs her to kill Kara for her.
In You Hung the Moon,Hayley agrees to what Davina her to do, but without issuing a threat to the witch. Davina is using her magic to shield the candle when Celeste rejects Davina's pleas and causes her to start bleeding from her eyes, however, when Davina mentions that Hayley can be used to get to Klaus, Celeste finally responds to Davina's request which leads Davina to successfully block The Crescent Curse and Cloak Hayley from Freya's locator spell. However shortly after she from learns Marcel that Hayley killed 11 other witches as result of being witnesses which leaves Davina guilt stricken as she didn't want a massacre.
In The Axeman's Letter, Davina invites Hayley & Jackson to Fête de Cadeau as guests, but unknown to the other witches they're her body guards. Davina knows there's some uproar from those who oppose her especially Van Nguyen. As Davina takes the break from being Regent Hayley comes over to her and they start talking. Hayley offers her beer to Davina noting "You need it more I do" as she gives the young witch advice base from her leadership of her pack. Hayley is impressed with Davina as she admits she wants to lead the covens in a new direction and lifted The Crescent Curse seeing she would rather have Hayley as a friend not a slave. Hayley smiles widely, thrilled by this gift, and Davina smiles back at her happily too.
In Out of the Easy, Marcel tries to convince Davina to leave New Orleans and run away from The Strix but she declines. After this, Marcel makes an alliance with Vincent to help him, because he's worried about Davina. Vincent agrees, and in order to save Davina, he exposing her in front of the Ninth Ward Coven about the massacre of Kara Nguyen and 11 9th ward coven witches. They make a decision to shun Davina from the Witch Community of New Orleans and make her unable to practice Ancestral Magic or make any contact with the Ancestors, meaning she is no longer Regent of the nine covens of New Orleans.
PersonalityBefore the start of the series, Davina once had respect and loyalty for her coven, which changed after she was betrayed by her former coven, who not only tried to kill her but they killed her best friend Monique Deveraux as well, her mother was the worst one of them all, as she did nothing to help her daughter.
She begged her mother for help but Ms. Clare did nothing to stop it, and turned a blind eye. Making her realize that her mother knew exactly what The Harvest is, and was willing to sacrifice her own daughters life. Davina now harbors hatred for her former coven, and takes great pleasure in seeing them suffer.
Davina is a quiet girl living a very sheltered life. However, the extreme levels of restriction that have been placed upon her, has caused her to be hot-tempered, a bad combination with her level of power. Davina seems to be used to getting her way, and when things go awry she is short-tempered. She has faced betrayal from her coven in the past, leading her to seek revenge against them. Marcel has said that Davina has anger and authority issues. She seems to have a rebellious nature, as shown when she sneaks off to meet Tim in Girl in New Orleans or when she sneaks of from Marcel's loft. Davina's base personality seems to be that of a sweet girl longing for a normal life, however the events of her life have given her a dark side that she is not afraid to use, if the situation calls for it. She also has a manipulative side, as she tricked Marcel into keeping her at the church, so she could have a secret meeting with Elijah. Davina used to play the piano and enjoys listening to classical music such as Bach, Puccini and Mozart. Davina has shown regret over the fact that her immense power hurt people, even when she didn't mean to. She is shown to be a loyal, caring and sympathetic friend. When someone hurts her or anyone she cares about, she won't rest until she makes them pay.
When she temporarily had the power of The Harvest, Davina was quite overconfident in her abilities, despite having little experience in actually using it.
Even though not to a great extent, Davina has shown ability to make sacrifices for the greater good. When she fell ill, she realized that her life was coming to an end. Davina thought that it would be selfish to take everyone else with her, so she accepted her fate and sacrificed her life to save everyone in New Orleans from destruction.
After being resurrected, she is scared and skittish, not talking much. She is frightened, and doesn't want to use her magic. Marcel planned on using her once she was brought back to life, which hurt her and made her upset. Davina has a hard time since returning to the Witches, which was intensified by how much disdain she felt from Monique, her former best friend.
However, she slowly starts to regain faith in her abilities and herself, and becomes stronger for it, embracing her powers as a witch. She successfully resurrects and binds Mikael to her as part of her plan to kill Klaus. She is very loyal to her friends, as everything she's currently planning to do is for them, to remove a tyrant from their lives so that he, Klaus, can't hurt them anymore. She is also intelligent enough to realize that, though he holds himself differently, Elijah is ultimately cut from the same cloth as his maternal half-brother. Despite the tragic events in her life, Davina is still a very positive and upbeat person. Over the course of the series, Davina becomes more independent, ambitious and determined. She places the safety of her friends over her own agenda.
Due to her seemingly naive and kind personality, Davina is often the subject of manipulation. Over the course of the series, she has been lied to/was used on a few occasions. Which has lead her to become more distrustful and paranoid, a trait Mikael pointed out.
In a bit of irony, Davina has started to show personality traits similar to that of Klaus. Her time as Regent has made her distrustful, quick to downplay any threats, while at the same time responding to them violently, as evidenced with her ordering Hayley to murder Kara, after Kara attacked her in protest. All the while Davina justifies herself, even while she she feels guilt. This eventually leads to her being shunned by the community of New Orleans witches.
Physical Appearance
- Main article: Davina Claire/Appearance
Davina is a very beautiful young woman in her late teens. She has blue eyes, full lips, rosy cheeks, lightly tanned skin and long, dark brown hair worn in loose waves. She stands at 5'3" and her frame is slim and petite.
In the first season, she is usually seen wearing white or pale colored dresses with some type of distinct patterns and stripes, although as the season progresses, has begun to wear darker shades such as grey and black. At the beginning of the first season, she rarely was seen wearing shoes considering she was always inside. She was also absent of jewelry and didn't wear make-up.
After she is resurrected she starts wearing trousers, jackets and blouses with different colors and patterns. For special occasions, she wears dresses and uses light make-up.
In season two, she is often seen wearing jeans. Red and blue are the colors she wears often. She also starts wearing jewelry, such as bracelets and necklaces.
In Season three, because of Kol's death and the constant betrayal from the original family Davina's style drastically changed. She is often seen wearing dark shades of clothing such as grey and black.
Powers and Abilities
Davina is an extremely powerful witch with potential which she was chosen as a Harvest Girl for. That power was magnified after the Harvest, giving her her reputation of being a "Super Witch" before bravely renouncing her life and powers to save all those who she loved. She has since gained extreme powers of her own and uses them to try and gain vengeance against the Mikaelsons for what they did to her and her best friends.
After Vincent and Van exposed Davina's involvment in the massacre of 11 withces in the Ninth Ward, they outcasted her from the witch community, took away her position as regent and shutted off her from channeling the Ancestors. Which means, Davina is no longer capable of practicing ancestral magic. It's not yet revealed if she's able to practice other forms of witchcraft.
Prior to the Harvest, Davina was a normal teenage girl, having not manifested her power yet as she revealed in Moon Over Bourbon Street to Josh. Her life was pretty normal before the Elder of her mother's coven, Bastianna, saw her potential and was instructed by the Ancestors to choose her as a candidate for the Harvest Sacrifice. An unsuspecting Davina was convinced by her mother to be a Harvest girl for she was told that she would be respected and powerful in the community.
Bastianna came to the conclusion of choosing Davina and her three closest friends Monique, Abigail and Cassie as their potential exceeded that of the other present candidates. When the day came, Davina was shocked to discover that it was a sacrificial ritual and she along with other three girls were the martyrs.
Because Davina was not sacrificed due to the intervention of Marcel and his vampire army, the combined powers of the sacrificed girls before her were taken into herself, turning her into a witch with godly powers, giving a superiority complex that was akin to one. This combination is also a way of revealing that each individual girl has great potential, for with this power, Davina had limitless power drawn from all four elements themselves. With this divine power, she was capable of killing a group of witches in one fell swoop and taking down an Original Vampire and the Original Hybrid, making the former choke on blood and the latter unwillingly turn, (the only reason why her powers worked on an Original Vampire and the Original Hybrid; because the Harvest energy - the power of three other Harvest Witches - was reaching critical mass, and The French Quarter would have been burned to the ground along with herself, if she wasn't sacrificed). However, she was soon sacrificed as part of the Reaping Ceremony and her immense power returned to the Earth and the other Harvest Witches. She was also able to use Esther's unknotting spell, a very difficult spell, as said by Elijah.
She was resurrected not long after but had a hard time adjusting. Davina felt as though she couldn't trust anyone after her own Ancestors shunned her in Limbo, she was frightened and inferior due to her being killed at such a young age and losing Tim. Thankfully, she was able to use and discover her own immense powers effectively after a few words of encouragement from Josh.
Since being inspired by Josh's story of a past of having to suffer due to being LGBT, Davina has has overachieved for a witch of her age, showing just how powerful Harvest Witches are meant to be, being able to restore what seems like over dozens of dead roses and even conduct a séance in an attempt to communicate with Tim.
Probably one of the first most powerful spells she has cast so far with her own power was the on she used to resurrect Mikael, while at the same time, keeping him under her control. As a Harvest Girl, she is a conduit to the Ancestors from beyond the grave. She's exhibited the power to read the mind of a witch she channels, which could be considered as Clairvoyance (Telepathy).
Davina has also been shown to have the capabilities of creating her own spells, a power only Elders and Ancestors (Nature) were known to have. She studied Esther's spell to link the Originals's sirelines and she figured out how to decode the spell in reverse so that it would unlink them instead. Davina also absorbed the memories from Kaleb with a simple touch, clairvoyantly figuring out that he is Kol and that he used his powers to destroy her Kandahar binder (Red Door). In the same episode, Davina telekinetically threw Kaleb to a door and then to a wall after discovering who he really is. Kol while in a weaker body was powerless against her. It is unknown whether or not he would be more powerful than her if he was a witch in his own body.
She also has been shown to have the ability to cast an invisibility spell (Live and Let Die), disallowing a being as old and strong as Klaus to not be able to see her, whether this is truly Illusory or literal has yet to be shown, but such an illusion previously required the assistance of the Ancestors (From a Cradle to a Grave).
The second most powerful spell she's committed is the one she used to literally drain the power of the White Oak, the only balance Nature has to killing Klaus, temporarily crippling its power to kill Original Vampires, it should be noted that she channeled Kaleb's powers, so therefore she is not yet powerful enough to drain a dark object of the magnitude of the White Oak Stake as she has yet to develop her power to such a level.
Davina used her considerable talents yet again to cast a spell with the intention of protecting Camille against Esther's magic, the spell had the effect of keeping Camille in her body, accidentally sending Rebekah into the body of Eva Sinclair, redirecting Esther (an extremely powerful witch)'s power back to her, her power, when colliding with Esther's, causing an explosion that rendered the hourglasses to explode on a molecular level.
Davina has shown mastery of Kemiya - a subsection of dark magic. She created a gold bracelet on her first try. She also created a gold white oak ash dagger, which works on Klaus.
Channeling: The ability to call on magic to do a variety of things from various sources such as spirits, talisman, one's own magic or other witches.
Empathic Channeling: The ability to draw power from a strong emotional desire which all witches have been shown to be able to do and has been described as very dark magic. In Wild at Heart a powerful dark witch named Ariane taught this ability to Davina and she resurrected herself from witch Purgatory even after losing her anchor to the land of the living, which in itself was a connection of necromancy and empathic channeling.
Necromancy: The ability to control, absorb, divine, channel or manipulate magic that is to do with death and the afterlife. In Wild at Heart Davina was able to resurrect herself from the witch Purgatory even after losing her anchor to the land of the living, by channeling her heart's desire, which in itself was a mixture of necromancy and empathic channeling due to its connection to death and to Davina's emotion.
Among others, Davina has been shown to have the following powers:
- Telekinesis: The ability to manipulate physical objects with only the use of the mind or an evocation of magical words. Before Davina lost the collective godly powers of the three other Harvest Witches Monique, Abigail and Cassie, Davina has caused an entire church to shudder on more than two occasions, one of these distorting the whole church shattering its windows and the furniture to break away, knocking out an original hybrid on one of these simultaneously, levitating and killing three witches on another, though this earth-shaking ability may be geokinetic in nature. After losing her divine abilities, Davina has exhibited telekinesis on a lower scale, though she still has immense power, having managed to snap Marcel's neck and throw Klaus through a door, while on another occasion throwing Kol around a room.
- Pyrokinesis: As the Harvest Witch of Fire, Davina the ability to manipulate and create flames with a simple thought at a higher scale than most witches, having the full force of fire at her fingertips, as such. When at full power, this ability has been shown to have the potential to burn down an entire city and cause extreme lightning at its fullest, whereas the other Harvest Girls harbor the full force of their own elements when separated from Davina's. It is unknown if Davina still has the full power of fire as she has said she is no longer a Harvest Girl, but this may have been simply a way of saying she was no longer part of the New Orleans Coven and renouncing the responsibilities, not the power of a Harvest Witch.
- Aerokinesis: Davina has had the power to manipulate air at a molecular level, having nearly blown down the entire city of New Orleans, but this is merely the full power of Abigail since Davina lost Abigail's powers. That being said, Davina has shown great aerokinetic power while draining the White Oak Stake of its ability to kill.
- Geokinesis: Davina used Geokinesis multiple times while in possession of the powers of Monique Deveraux, who is the Harvest Witch of Earth. Davina used this to quake the earth and when this power reached its climax, it threatened to destroy New Orleans. After losing Monique's abilities, she has not shown to be able to use geokinesis any longer.
- Hydrokinesis: The ability to manipulate or bring about water in one way or another has been used by Davina when she unleashed the full force of water in the form of rain over New Orleans with Cassie's power, who is the Harvest Witch of Water, nearly drowning the city. Davina does not possess this power by herself and does no longer have it as she does not channel water.
- Naturopathy: Davina, as a witch and a "Servant of Nature", has the ability to sustain and preserve life and nature, i.e. grow plants faster than their natural time by channeling power from earth itself with a simple thought and, as it is a lower form of life energy than human quintessence, Davina has the power to resurrect dead natural bodies and has been able to use this ability to resurrect a dead rose, an ability she shares with the other Harvest Witches, though this ability is seemingly stronger when it is hosted by her, as she excelled over even Monique (who is arguably a very powerful witch capable of levitating and breaking Klaus's neck), managing to resurrect an amount of roses to their fullest blood in a magnitude enough to fit in the Lycee. This ability is connected to geokinesis.
- Psychokinesis/Telepathy: Davina has shown the ability to enter the minds of others, dazing their nervous tract long enough for her to discover everything she needs in a matter of seconds without the power of the Harvest. She has also cast illusions over people, making them think that someone was not right before their eyes on two occasions. She has, with the power of the Harvest, entered the minds of those who've been compelled and resurrect the forgotten or erase the compulsion done completely. Either than removing compulsion from others, with this power she has herself compelled an Original Vampire to forget that which she had seen. When Katie attacked Marcel with magic, Davina was not only alerted psychically, but she was able to restore Marcel to full health, though Katie inflicted Marcel soon afterwards, which had the same effect on Davina. Davina once unlinked Hayley from Sophie without needing any of their possessions or blood, which could be a form of telepathic connection.
- Biokinesis: Davina has been shown to be able to control the body functions of a human form such as cause their insides to melt and boiling their blood on two occasions before the time of losing the power of the Harvest and she has been shown to be able to give aneurysms to fully powered group of werewolves afterwards. She has also broken the neck of Marcel without toil.
- Ancestral Magic Intuition: Davina had the ability to sense a witch's magic, what spell they were doing, who and where they are when she had the power of the three other girls. Whether this was due to a spell she cast on herself or whether it was due to the Harvest being ritual connected to all New Orleans Witches has not been revealed, but Davina has not shown to be able to do this any time after her sacrifice.
- Ancestral Conduit: As a Harvest Girl, she is the current only witch with the capabilities to become an Elder of her Coven, as all four Harvest Witches have the ability to connect and commune with the Ancestors directly, thus being the only ones who can teach the Coven new spells through the Harvest Girls. She can also channel the full power of the Ancestors when in the boundary of the City of the Dead as shown by Abigail and Monique who managed to take on an Original and two Hybrids in From a Cradle to a Grave after casting a spell that invoked on all their ancestors.
- Dark Objects: With the power of the Harvest she used to channel power into Daylight Rings and distribute them to Marcel's Vampires. She was also able to successfully channel dark objects in order to revive Mikael and bind his will to her. Davina has recently learned how to channel power into and out of a object thus turning into a magical item, talisman or dark object. The extent of this ability of hers was shown when she turned a rope of mere fabric into gold and when she used Kemiya on a bowl of ingredients mixed with water that turned into a form of poison, which she consumed and it did not harm her, but harmed any vampire who would bite her, putting them in a comatose state.
- Mediumship: Davina has the ability to see and communicate with the dead person that she tries to contact through séances then onwards as she accidentally gave herself the ability to see Mikael's ghost when trying to contact Tim, who had found Peace.
- Spell Creation: Davina has created her own spells, having created an unlinking spell that'll unravel the sire bond connection of Klaus Mikaelson's entire line, thus making it so that if she were to kill him, he's sire line would continue to flourish.
Davina has the typical weaknesses of a human.

- —Josh to Davina about Marcel
Davina met Marcel when he saved her from nearly being killed in The Harvest. Ever since then he has been protecting her from the witches who wish to complete the ritual. Davina trusted and even loved Marcel yet that trust was broken when Marcel didn't tell her that the last remaining elder and the last thing posing a threat to her, Agnes was dead. Davina believes that Marcel did not tell her that because he just wants her power and is using her. After Davina escapes due to Marcel's betrayal, she eventually returns after Tim's life is in danger, the two are reunited. Marcel tells her he cares for her and took her in as his own, although their relationship is far from being repaired. Marcel was protecting Davina from being sacrificed in Apres Moi, Le Deluge but due to everything that was happening, Davina decided that she was ready. After her death, he was devastated that she did not return from the dead. After killing Bastianna, Davina returned to the living. Marcel noticed Davina's changed personality and wanting her to feel safe, left her in the care of Genevieve. A month later, Davina felt abandoned by Marcel but Josh also reassured her that Marcel still loves her. While Marcel was banished from the French Quarter, Marcel continued to watch Davina from afar and in a sense, she felt like he was there watching her. She loves him very much and would do anything to save him. Recently, though, the young witch did a spell to save Klaus's life by deactivating the power of the White Oak Stake, rendering its power to kill Originals temporarily useless.

This was later proven to be false, after his kill and later resurrected, after losing her connection to the Harvest, she does not go against original vampires, as the Harvest was not her real magic, therefore, Davina's real magic, is not powerful enough not defeat the original vampires.
