I keep thinking about why was it so weird to people that Cami had a dark backstory introduced in season 3. I do agree that it should have been introduced in season 1, like mid season or something, but to me it made a lot of sense.
I mean, her very first scene in TVD has her practically narrating Klaus' state of mind. And sure, she is a psychologist, but like...I've been to a lot of those and they aren't usually that good. Sure, she was looking at a painting, but the knowledge was immediate and it got me thinking that she just probably expects people to be able to do awful things, despite also thinking they want to be good, because that's who she is. She wants to be good, but she has a dark mind.
Cami was terrified about ending up killing a lot of people, like Sean did, because she view that as a possibility. Normal people, no matter their degree, don't usually think that about themselves even if a relative did something like this. Sure, you can think about killing someone when you're stress or angry or joke about it, but to actually think yourself capable of that and fear it? No, that's not very usual.
And her attraction to Klaus, despite knowing everything about him? Her sympathy towards him?
Yeah, the clues were there all along.
Attitudinal Psyche: The Originals: Klaus Mikaelson
VFEL
1V Confident Volition: Klaus is first and foremost a leader. He takes charge even if it means pushing someone else out and craves power and control. He doesn’t always listen to Elijah’s advice and often follows his own ideas even when he already agreed to his siblings’ plans. He always knows what he wants in life and makes plans to get it.
2F Flexible Physics: Klaus is a good fighter and is undefeated until the Hollow. He knows how to manipulate his physical environment well. He has fine tastes and enjoys living in comfort.
3E Insecure Emotion: Klaus is not conscientious of other people’s emotions, unless it’s someone he really cares about, like Cami or Hope. He does what he wants despite how it affects other people. He is prone to emotional outbursts when things don’t go his way.
4L Unbothered Logic: Klaus does not care so much whether or not he is being reasonable as long as he achieves his goal. He is not overly focused on logic, but is more concerned with efficiency and his goals.
