Powers and Abilities

 * -|Witch=

Hope is the daughter of the Enhanced Original Werewolf Brandon North, which means she has inherited his werewolf gene.
 * -|Werewolf=

Hope is also part werewolf, having inherited the werewolf gene from her father. If Hope were to kill someone, she would trigger her werewolf gene and would gain all of the powers of lycanthropy.


 * Enhanced Strength: Hope will possess supernatural strength that makes her far stronger than Humans and Vampires.


 * Enhanced Speed: Hope will be much faster than Humans and Vampires. She will possess this ability both in and out of transformation with an animalistic quickness.


 * Enhanced Agility: Hope will possess superhuman agility. Either in wolf or even in human form, she will demonstrated that she can move, jump very high, climb, flip, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. She will also jump down from incredible heights with almost gravity-defying grace.


 * Enhanced Durability: Hope can take far more trauma than humans without nearly as much discomfort or injury, however, not as much as vampires. She can also exert herself for longer periods without tiring.


 * Enhanced Healing Factor: Hope will possess superhuman regenerative abilities, meaning that if she is physically injured, her body will heal rapidly. Like vampires, she can heal from the most grievous of injuries, even in human form, albeit more slowly in comparison to vampires. However, unlike vampires, when a her neck is broken, she stays dead.


 * Super Senses: Hope has the extremely keen and heightened senses of smell, sight, taste, hearing and touch inherent in all canines. Because she is supernatural and has powers that exceeds her wolf counterparts, she can hear, see, and smell better than that of regular canines.


 * Lycanthrope Enhancement: Hope will be able to make her eyes glow when angry or threatened, but only for a short amount of time. When she is furious or forced to defend herself, her anger increases all her power and abilities for a short period of time, which allows her to access some of the power of her wolf form to give her an edge.


 * Shapeshifting/Transformation Control: During a full moon, Hope will unwillingly transform from her human form and into her wolf form. However, if she is pregnant, she will not turn for nine months as the transformation would kill the baby.


 * Full Moon: Hope's strength, speed, agility, and all her powers will be enhanced to her peak during a full moon.


 * Immunity to Silver: Hope is immune to magic bonded to silver. Weapons made of silver might wound her, but the wound still heals at supernatural rates and will not be fatal to her.

Weaknesses
As a possessor of the untriggered werewolf gene, Hope will experience bouts of severe aggression. However, Hope wears a bracelet that negates her ability to practice magic and thus, does not experience lack of control when wearing the bracelet.

Brandon North
"I woke up in the church and all I felt was this anger, and then I knew what I needed - I needed her. I can feel her. She's here. I can feel my baby."

- Brandon North about Hope



Brandon is Hope's father and it is shown various times that Brandon strongly loves his daughter. After some time apart from his daughter she returned home. However he remains paranoid as he worries about her safety.

Hope and Brandon's bond remain strong during the rest of the series until they were separated due to Brandon sacrificing himself to save his family. But Hope's memory of him was kept alive because of her uncle telling Hope about her father such as his loyalty to his family, his love for her and his interests that she now shares with him. They were reunited after five years and, despite some initial nervousness on both sides, they shared a lovely day together, it showing just how alike they are. Brandon shared stories from his long life, Hope showed him her magic when she healed a butterfly and they painted together.

Apart from some of the bad things he's done Hope knows what Brandon is and isn't afraid of him. She knows how strong he is and, because of that, she believes he can keep bad things away. Once he promised that nothing was going to harm her Hope hugged him. Despite their time apart Hope calls Brandon 'Dad', showing that their bond is still strong.
