Danielle Rose Russell had to embody the spirit of a vampire, witch, and werewolf during her five-year spell as hybrid Hope Mikaelson on "The Originals" and "Legacies." But which of the supernatural beings would she prefer to be if that somehow suddenly became an option?

Well, in an interview with Teen Vogue, the Berkeley College graduate revealed that she's more attracted to those averse to garlic, crosses and sunlight: "I would be a vampire. I think there's a real sex appeal to vampires. They're very sexy. There's something about them. But, being a witch has been fun. I get to chant and do spells and pretend I'm really bad ass and I'm pointing to something that's supposed to be exploding and it's like 'Nope!' but it'll look cool."

In fact, before landing her most famous role, Russell was something of a "The Vampire Diaries" obsessive, aligning herself firmly with Team Stefan: "Everyone's going to come for me for that, but I loved them together. And, it was so interesting being in this world after I was such a fan of the show for so long. It was like, 'Wow, this is Klaus, and this is Elijah, and this is Rebecca.' It was really interesting just remember how much of a fangirl I was when I was like 13."
