Antoinette Sienna is a character on The Originals. She was introduced in the third episode of the fifth season.
Antoinette is a member of the Sienna Family.
Early History[]
Not much is known about Antoinette's early life, other than the stories that she has told Elijah. In her final days, Antoinette was stoned to death by her village. While dying, she was visited by Greta and was turned by her, and at this point Antoinette considered her a mother.
After turning, Antoinette learned much of what it meant to be a vampire from her family. She remarks that they lived among the shadows, unlike vampires in recent times. However, Antoinette grew wary of her vampiric ways and left, seeking a new life, living among humans. After a while, Antoinette grew to view this lifestyle with disdain, throwing away her daylight ring in favor of her prior life in the shadows.
Throughout The Originals[]
Season Five[]
In Ne Me Quitte Pas, Antoinette first appears in New York City, feeding on an unknown woman and is confronted by Elijah, who has no memories of who he is. It was seen that Katherine Pierce and her are friends. Elijah asks them for help and they all go to a diner to talk. Both female vampires tells him about what vampires can do and how different it is compared to being human. After an unknown amount of time, she is seen playing the piano in Manosque, France
In What, Will, I, Have, Left, she opens the door and sees that Greta is standing there, looking exhausted. She listens to Greta's story and she looks at Elijah worriedly when her mother suggests Elijah should go to stop Klaus. She tells him that her mother shouldn't have gotten him involved and also tells him that Greta isn't really her mother, but considers her one as she saved her life when she was dying. Later, she gets a call from Roman and tells him that she's on her way there after hearing his side.
In God's Gonna Trouble the Water, she and Elijah walk into an apartment and sees that a group of vampires are there. They are welcomed by Emmett and he tells her they are part of the purist vampire group her mother organized. She tells them that they came to see how everyone was and express their condolences to Greta's death. While talking, it's shown that Antoinette still shows reluctance to Greta's cause and wants to leave. As they walk out, Klaus appears, snaps Elijah's neck and bites Antoinette.
Later, she and Elijah are in a cell together at an unknown location. She shows him the bite on her neck and when he tries to make a deal with Klaus, she wonders why he didn't ask her if she wanted the cure or not. They talk more and she tries to convince him to get his memories back. While she thinks he may not have the same feelings he had for her when his memories were gone, he says otherwise.
Marcel and Vincent Griffith come into the cell and perform the spell necessary to give Elijah's memories back. She notices that there's some difficulty with the spell and is visibly worried about Elijah. After Elijah collapses onto the floor, she asks Marcel what happened, and he doesn't know either.
In The Kindness of Strangers, she is on a bed suffering from the effects of the bite Klaus gave her. Elijah walks in the room with the vial of blood Klaus gave her and tells her to drink, which she does. She is cured and is relieved to see Elijah, but when he apologizes to her and leaves, she looks on with a saddened expression on her face.
In There in the Disappearing Light, Antoinette texts Elijah, asking to meet with him. Once Elijah meets her, she tells him Roman. Elijah realizes it was Klaus' doing and she pleads with him not to let him die, if he hasn't already. She continues, that despite getting caught in their mother's shadow, her hate shouldn't be pinned on him. She asks him to convince Klaus to spare Roman. Elijah agrees to try.
Later she appears at St. Anne's Church, having gathered Emmett and his followers, telling him that she's finally ready to step in her mother shoes. She tells them that Roman as been taken by the 'half-breed' Klaus and together they are going to liberate him. Emmett agrees and shows them his weapon against them; Marcel's venom. Elijah barges in, confessing that he's had a change of heart and willing to join them, fully committed to the cause; however, it's a setup as Klaus, Hope, Jax, Nina, and Lily bust through the doors as Elijah informs the purist vampires they're going to die, just as Greta. Antoinette and Elijah leave, per their bargain with Klaus, letting Hope and her siblings take care of the vampires.
Elsewhere, Antoinette thanks Elijah and asks for forgiveness for her family. Elijah responds in kind. Elijah asks where she will go and she tells him that someone once told her that Shanghai is a safe place to hide out.
Personality[]
Antoinette is free-spirited and has a calm demeanor. She has been shown to take matters in her hands where she deems fit and that she tries to live her life the way she wants. She does show some fear towards some vampires as she wanted to leave the nightclub she and Elijah were at because of how they view her without a daylight ring. She also shows some fear towards Elijah and Klaus, considering their reputations, especially them being Originals.
As a vampire, she can be cold and ruthless and prefers to drain humans dry, as opposed to consuming some of their blood and then compelling them to forget.
Despite coming from a family with purist values, she reveals that she doesn't hold the type of views her adoptive father and adoptive mother held when they were alive.
