Aurora's Story Is Showing How Badly Legacies Has Failed Hope
In season 4 of Legacies, Aurora de Martel (Rebecca Breeds) returns and changes things for Hope Mikaelson (Danielle Rose Russell).

This means that Aurora now possesses all of Hope's traits as a vampire-werewolf-witch tribrid, giving her access to special powers and abilities that she has never been able to cultivate before.

In addition to wanting to harvest Hope's power, Aurora has another motive for wanting Hope hurt.
