— Marcel to Sophia in At Least With Sorrow
| ||
The relationship between Sophia Zariah Mikaelson and Marcel Gerard is one of the complicated relationships in the series as well as a fan-favorite couple. When they first met, he took an romantic interest in her and she saw him as a charmer. When discovering he was holding her brother, Elijah captive, she saw him as an enemy whereas he saw her as a beautiful, intelligent, strong, and loyal woman. Even though she was a Mikaelson, he continued his quest to win her affection. Throughout the first season, Marcel managed to make Sophia open up to him a bit. After learning Sophia's motives of wanting to find Klaus' redemption, Marcel encouraged her and offered his support. The sweet moments between them eventually lead to the beginning of their friendship and he got her something special, a diamond necklace. However, their friendship fell apart as he along with Rebekah tried to put Klaus down but the chemistry between them was not able to fade away. Marcel soon admitted to her that he wasn't going to give up on her because he promised Katherine that he wouldn't and they shared their first kiss. After her daughter's death, Sophia went down a dark path to which Marcel tried to stray her away from as well as trying to find a way to bring back her daughter for her. With Davina's help, he eventually found out about a witch named Qetsiyah whom could teach Sophia a new element that could bring anyone back from the dead. After the war against Neoma and Danielle's resurrection, Sophia admitted her feelings for Marcel and they began a relationship.
