Dahlia and Esther then hid behind a wheelbarrow, the two sisters promised each other that they would remain together no matter what happened, 'always and forever'. Sometime between the late 960s and the early 970s A.D., Viking warriors attacked Dahlia's village and killed everyone in it. Dahlia devoted herself to the mystical arts (unlike her sister Esther, who felt insecure in her abilities in comparison to her prodigious sister and as a result did not take her practice of witchcraft as seriously), and Dahlia grew to become a very skilled and powerful witch. They both belonged to a long and powerful bloodline of witches whose first-born children are well-known to possess even greater magical strength, and because of this, Dahlia and Esther were presumably taught the craft from a young age.

She was the first-born child of unnamed witch parents and the oldest sister of Esther. According to Freya, Dahlia aimed to be truly immortal without having to sleep for centuries, and would not hesitate to come and claim the first-born Mikaelson witches to achieve this goal, even if it meant destroying anyone who stood in her way.ĭahlia was a member of an unnamed Norwegian family of powerful witches and a relative to the Mikaelson Family via her sister, Esther.ĭahlia was born in Norway at some point in the 10th century. She also had the ability to sense the magic of other witches, especially those of the first-born children of her and her sister Esther's bloodline, as the first-born witches of their lineage possess devastating amounts of power. Once Freya reached adulthood, Dahlia then cast a spell that allowed them both to gain pseudo-immortality by leap-frogging through time the women were put into a magically-induced sleep for nearly a century, only to awaken for one single year of life and aging with all of the magic they accrued over their hundred-year-long slumber, before they would once again return to their sleep after the year had passed.ĭahlia's understanding of magic after so many years of study was extensive enough that she was able to create her own form of Connective Magic in the 10th century. She was the older sister of Esther, the sister-in-law of Mikael, the maternal aunt of Freya, Finn, Elijah, Niklaus, Kol, Rebekah and Henrik Mikaelson, and also the great-aunt of Freya's deceased unborn son and Hope Mikaelson.ĭescribed by Freya as the most powerful witch she has ever seen, Dahlia first gained her enhanced powers by linking her magic to the magic possessed by her then five-year-old niece Freya. Dahlia ( Elder Futhark: ᛞᚨᚺᛚᛁᚨ) was 'one of the most powerful witches in history' and the main antagonist of the second season of The Originals.
