The relationship between the witches Celeste and Genevieve. The witches knew each other indirectly in the 20th century. However, Celeste finally revealed herself to Genevieve in modern times and they both allied with the Ancestors in New Orleans to use Hope Mikaelson in part of their sacrifice for more power for the witches.
Early History[]
Celeste and Genevieve first met during the early 20th century, when both women were working together at the Fleur-de-Lis Sanatorium in New Orleans. (Though it should be noted that at the time, Celeste was possessing the body of a witch named Clara Summerlin.) At some point in 1919, both were infected with influenza virus by Rebekah Mikaelson as part of the latter's attempt to hide her and Marcel Gerard's secret from her brother Klaus Mikaelson. While both Genevieve and Celeste's vessel Clara ultimately died from their illness, Celeste was able to take possession of another body of a French Quarter witch and live on, as she had done for a century up until that point, and as she would continue to do for another two hundred years.
Throughout The Originals Series[]
In the modern day, Celeste brought Genevieve back to life, along with two other deceased witches, by using the energy she had hijacked from the latest Harvest ritual. She resurrected Genevieve, Papa Tunde, and Bastianna Natale with the intention of using their respective grudges against the Mikaelson family and vampires in general in order to take out her vengeance on Elijah, Klaus, and Rebekah.
Although little is known about the personal nature of Celeste and Genevieve's relationship, it is implied that they were close to each other, as Celeste referred to Genevieve as her good friend during her conversation with Rebekah in Long Way Back From Hell. However, it remains unknown if Genevieve was aware that Celeste had been possessing her friend Clara in the later 1910s.
