| 26 | [[folder:Elena Gilbert]] |
| 27 | |
| 28 | Elena is the novel series' heroine and protagonist (opposite Stefan Salvatore), and the female lead character (except Dark Reunion). She was born Nov 5, 1992 in Fells Church, Virginia. She is the oldest child and elder daughter of Thomas Gilbert and Elizabeth Gilbert. She has a younger sister, Margaret. Her parents died, leaving her and sister to live with their uncle and aunt Gilbert. Elena is seventeen at the beginning of the very first book, and she is the most beautiful, popular girl at Robert E. Lee High School (mainly called the Queen). She is normally confident and ambitious on top of being beautiful; not surprisingly, she also shows many AlphaBitch traits like selfishness and boastfulness. She does grow out of it after meeting her soulmate Stefan, however, and her second death in the series (after becoming a vampire) is to protect those she cares for. |
| 29 | ---- |
| 30 | !! Tropes associated with Elena include: |
| 31 | |
| 32 | |
| 33 | * TheAce[=/=]BrokenAce: Elena possesses everything: popularity, status, beauty, and intelligence. She is renowned as the Queen of the school and the most popular girl at Robert E. Lee High. She is also highly attractive to the opposite sex. Elena holds the title of the most beautiful girl in Fells Church. She is stunningly beautiful and possesses the looks of a model. Elena, a GoGetterGirl, has been crowned Homecoming Queen multiple times. She actively participates in various school activities, maintains good grades (except in math or trigonometry), and is highly popular due to her sociable nature, making many friends. Elena also dated Matt, the star athlete of the school, and eventually fell in love with Stefan, the BigManOnCampus and the most popular and desired boy in school. Elena eventually discovers her special destiny as an earth guardian, tasked with defending the world against evil forces and beings. Elena may appear to have it all, but deep down she is profoundly broken and has endured significant tragedy and adversity at a young age. Elena lost her parents at a young age and never fully recovered from the tragedy of their loss. The loss of her parents played a significant role in shaping Elena's identity. Elena conceals her pain and suffering to avoid appearing fragile and vulnerable in front of others. Elena was popular among people, but she struggled to open up to anyone outside her close circle of friends. Elena's life took a turn for the better when she met and fell in love with Stefan. Elena's love life, however, has been quite tragic. Elena learns that her soulmate, Stefan, is a centuries-old vampire who has been living in secrecy for eternity. Elena loves Stefan passionately, but she is aware that loving him comes with a significant risk. As a mere human without any means to defend herself, she is vulnerable to Stefan, who is a vampire with supernatural abilities. She has also experienced the painful separation from Stefan multiple times, against their wishes. She later develops feelings for Damon, which creates tension and problems in her relationship with Stefan. Damon dies unexpectedly after sacrificing himself to save Bonnie, leaving her to grieve his loss. Elena has died multiple times throughout the series, either by accident or by sacrificing herself to save or protect her loved ones. Elena may seem to have everything, but there is no doubt that she has also experienced significant loss in her life. |
| 34 | * ActionGirl: Elena is very independent and can be quite formidable when necessary. Elena was capable and strong even before she became a vampire and embraced her destiny as a powerful Earth Guardian. She fearlessly confronted supernatural beings and refused to back down, despite her vulnerability at the time. Once she accepted her supernatural destiny as a Guardian, she experienced a significant increase in strength. She also acquired superhuman abilities, which she used to protect her loved ones and humanity. She becomes particularly motivated when her loved ones are in danger. |
| 35 | * ActionGirlfriend: Although Stefan is an active and strong vampire with superhuman abilities, Elena surpasses him in power as she is an angelic entity with stronger abilities. Elena is considered a cosmic being due to her angelic lineage, which grants her significant power. Elena frequently finds herself in the role of rescuer, as Stefan often becomes the one in need of help and support. Despite this, it is undeniable that Stefan has gone to great lengths to save Elena, highlighting his strength and capability when he is motivated. |
| 36 | * ActionSurvivor: Before Elena acquired her superhuman powers. Elena was a capable and independent woman who could fend off supernatural beings that surrounded her. Once Elena discovered Stefan's vampire nature, she no longer feared him. In the earlier books, Elena lacked the qualities of an ActionHeroine and was simply a regular human girl thrust into a supernatural world. The circumstances she faced compelled her to develop strength and resilience. Elena's transformation into a vampire granted her superhuman abilities, and later she learned that she was half angel and destined to be an Earth Guardian. Her angelic abilities started to develop, and despite still learning how to use and control them, she remained capable. |
| 37 | * AfraidOfNeedles: Elena is known to have a strong fear of needles. This was evident when Stefan accidentally consumed an excessive amount of blood from Elena, leading to her needing a significant blood transfusion to replace the lost blood. Stefan accidentally came close to draining Elena to the point of death, almost exsanguinating her. Stefan had observed that during Elena's blood transfusion, she mentioned to him that she had a strong fear of needles. |
| 38 | * TheAgeless: Elena is introduced as an immortal being in The Hunters trilogy. She possesses the ability to live eternally alongside Stefan as an Earth Guardian, without experiencing physical aging. In the final book of the series (which was the last non-ghostwritten book), Elena consumed special water from the Fountain of Eternal Life and Youth. As a result, she is unable to age physically and cannot die under normal circumstances. Elena is also immortal and cannot die from natural causes. Despite this, she is still vulnerable to injury like any other human and can be fatally wounded and die. She cannot die from natural causes, such as old age, for example. |
| 39 | * AlphaBitch: Elena fit this trope before meeting Stefan. Elena, who is blonde, was vain, selfish, snobbish, entitled, spoiled, and childish. She is also proud, vain, and self-absorbed. She was highly competitive and earned the nickname "Queen" at her high school. Elena, despite not having a kind personality initially, was still very popular at school and received attention from every boy in Fells Church. Elena is considered the "star" of her school. All she initially cared about was being at the top in every aspect: status, popularity, relationships, and fashion. Elena appeared indifferent towards falling in love and being in a committed relationship. Instead, she used boys for attention and treated them as trophies. Elena and her former friend, Caroline, were often in competition for the title of Queen Bee at school, vying for social status and popularity. After meeting Stefan, she undergoes a transformation and becomes a more compassionate and caring person, [[LoveRedeems shedding her previous alpha bitch persona]]. It is evident that Elena's cold, icy, and vain personality was merely a facade. In reality, she was a vulnerable, sensitive, and emotional person who had experienced significant pain, suffering, and tragedy at a young age, particularly with the loss of her parents. |
| 40 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Elena has relationships with both Salvatore brothers, Stefan (brooding, mysterious, intense loner) and Damon (sarcastic, rebellious, dangerous bad boy). Although technically speaking, Stefan is not a bad boy in terms of his character and personality, this is only because he is a vampire who has lived in isolation for centuries, separated from the light and humanity. Stefan embodies the archetype of the "James Dean" bad boy - a good-natured individual with a hint of edginess, intensity, and an air of mystery. When Elena first meets Stefan, it is love at first sight. She is inexplicably drawn to him and feels an intense connection with him immediately. Elena is attracted to Stefan's intense, mysterious, and brooding nature. Elena is captivated by Stefan's physical beauty, considering him the most stunning creature she has ever seen. Elena has compared Stefan's physical beauty to that of a god. Elena is drawn to Stefan's romantic, cultured, noble, and old-fashioned personality. Elena is deeply in love with Stefan, despite his loner and brooding nature. She admires his pure heart and his kind, compassionate, empathetic, and caring nature, even though he appears outwardly brooding and mysterious. Her relationship with Damon is slightly more complex than her relationship with Stefan. Elena has always been drawn to Damon's seductive, dark, and rebellious charm, finding herself sexually attracted to him. Elena recognizes that she and Damon share many personality traits, allowing them to find common ground in terms of their personalities and temperaments. Elena and Damon are both headstrong and passionate individuals who exhibit great persistence and determination. Despite Elena's love and romance with Stefan, she also has a belligerent sexual tension with Damon throughout the series. She constantly bickers and argues with him, repeatedly rejecting Damon's advances to live with him in the darkness and be his "Princess of Darkness". Elena initially despised Damon due to his treatment of Stefan and his unpleasant personality. However, as the series progresses, Elena realizes that she has developed feelings of love and care for Damon. Despite these feelings, Elena ultimately chooses Stefan over Damon, as she believes that Stefan is her one true love. |
| 41 | * AnchoredShip: With Stefan at the start. Something prevented Stefan and Elena from becoming a couple in the first book. Stefan's deep dark secret, that he was a centuries-old vampire, was the reason for this. There was a constant push and pull dynamic between Elena and Stefan. Elena pursued Stefan passionately, but he ran away from her and was afraid to get too close. Elena reminded Stefan of his first love, Katherine, who had tragically died. Stefan was also hiding a centuries-old secret: he was a vampire who had been living in darkness and shadows for over five centuries. Once Elena learns Stefan's true identity, she wholeheartedly accepts him and they consummate their love. However, there are still many obstacles that try to keep the two apart, including Damon, Katherine, and Klaus. |
| 42 | * AngelicBeauty: Elena is often described as having an angelic appearance, with angel-like physical traits and qualities. Elena's unique physical coloring and appearance can be attributed to her being half human and half angel, a trait shared by all Guardians. Elena has light, pale golden blonde hair, deep blue lapis lazuli eyes, and creamy white skin. Stefan often describes Elena as an angel or as having an angelic appearance. Elena's exceptional physical beauty has captivated nearly every male she encounters. |
| 43 | * AuthorAvatar: Although not directly confirmed by the author, it is evident that the character of Elena is physically based on L.J. Smith. who is blonde-haired and blue-eyed. The reason why LJ Smith likely chose Elena as the main character and protagonist of the series, and made her the point of view character, is because LJ identifies with Elena and may even live vicariously through her. LJ has also mentioned that she sees some similarities between herself and Bonnie. She claims to love writing from Bonnie's perspective, which is why she chose Bonnie as the protagonist and narrator of the book "Dark Reunion". |
| 44 | * BackFromTheDead: Many times throughout the book series. In the final scene of "The Struggle," Katherine kills Elena by driving her car off Wickery Bridge. Elena woke up not as a human, but as a vampire after receiving vampire blood from both Stefan and Damon. Elena, a vampire, ultimately meets her demise once again in "The Fury" when she makes a HeroicSacrifice to save Stefan (and Damon) from the vengeful and deranged Katherine. Elena makes a return in "Dark Reunion," but as a spirit in the afterlife. Elena is able to communicate with her friends and loved ones in the spirit world with the assistance of Bonnie. In the conclusion of "Dark Reunion," Elena is resurrected as a human after the core group successfully defeats Klaus. |
| 45 | * BadassNormal: Before Elena discovered her supernatural abilities, she was already a resilient, powerful, and capable young woman. Despite being a human, she displayed bravery and strength when unexpectedly thrust into the supernatural world because of her desire to be with Stefan. Elena possesses the qualities of a DamselOutOfDistress, ActionSurvivor, and a BadassDamsel. Elena has demonstrated her ability to not only navigate the presence of supernatural beings when she was human, but also to cleverly outsmart her adversaries using her wit and intelligence. She is also TheStoic, passionate, strong-willed, and tough. Despite enduring numerous tragedies in her young life and facing ongoing adversity, she remains resilient and consistently emerges victorious. Elena has proven her ability to defeat formidable opponents such as Katherine and Klaus, despite their greater power. She has also demonstrated her ability to stand up to Damon, showing no intimidation towards him or his behavior. |
| 46 | * BarrierMaiden: Elena later discovers her true destiny as a powerful earth guardian. She discovers that she is part angel through her mother, Elizabeth, who was also an angel and served as a guardian. As a guardian, she possesses powerful abilities that she uses to fight against the forces of darkness and evil. She is a benevolent being. Elena's destiny is to protect the world from the corrupting influence of dark or evil forces of nature. The entire well-being of the world rests on her shoulders because she is a rare breed of Earth guardian. Elena, as a guardian, ensures that good triumphs and prevents the world from being corrupted by evil beings. Without Elena, the forces of evil would overpower the world and lead people into darkness. |
| 47 | * BattleCouple: With Stefan. She, along with Stefan, is always in the middle of the action. She frequently engages in fights or battles against the villains alongside Stefan. Stefan and Elena are the ActionHero and ActionGirl, respectively. They frequently take charge during battles or missions. Stefan lleads the core group on missions and plans. Stefan is known as the BadassBookworm, TheStrategist, and the GuileHero, utilizing his intelligence and strategic abilities to consistently overcome his adversaries. Elena begins as a regular human who finds herself in the role of an ActionSurvivor, a BadassDamsel, and a BadassNormal. She must learn to defend herself against supernatural beings. Elena initially lacked any special abilities, but she demonstrated the ability to defend herself and protect her friends without relying on powers. Elena undergoes a transformation, becoming a more formidable and powerful character as she embraces her inner strength and gains new abilities as both a vampire and a cosmic being (an angel guardian). Elena is technically more powerful than Stefan, particularly as she is revealed to be part angel, making her an ActionGirlfriend. |
| 48 | * BeautyEqualsGoodness: Elena's physical beauty leads everyone to assume that she is a kind-hearted person with empathy, compassion, and a caring nature. Elena initially did not display the traits and qualities that were inherent to her personality. She appeared aloof, cold, and icy, embodying TheStoic archetype. Elena initially had a cold demeanor, but she experienced character development and eventually fell in love with Stefan. Elena has several flaws, including vanity, selfishness, stubbornness, immaturity, pride, and self-centeredness. Elena possesses these traits within her personality, yet she remains a good person. Stefan was able to positively transform Elena's personality, uncovering a kind, caring, compassionate, and loving individual beneath her cool and stoic exterior. However, Elena's flaws add complexity to her character. |
| 49 | * BecauseDestinySaysSo: In regards to Elena and her relationship with Stefan. Before meeting Stefan, Elena was told by her psychic friend Bonnie that she would meet a tall, dark and handsome stranger. Coincidentally, about 5 minutes later, Stefan arrived, implying that Stefan and Elena meeting was fate, destiny or "in the stars". |
| 50 | %%** Regarding Elena's destiny as a Guardian meant to save the world and prevent evil forces from taking over. |
| 51 | * BelligerentSexualTension: With Damon. At first, she and Damon have a strong dislike for each other, and Elena even openly admits to him that she despises and hates him. Elena's strong dislike for Damon stemmed from his interference in Stefan's life and his attempts to ruin it. Interestingly, they are similar in some ways, as they both share somewhat similar outer personalities. Elena and Damon share similar traits such as shallowness, vanity, pride, passion, and stubbornness. They frequently engage in arguments and bickering due to their shared sarcastic nature. Both Elena and Damon can be extremely cutting and sarcastic when provoked or irritated. Despite their tension and conflicts, there is a strong sexual attraction between the two. Elena is sexually attracted to Damon and finds his bad boy persona, wildness, and unpredictability intriguing and alluring. Damon becomes intensely infatuated and obsessed with Elena. He wants to take her from Stefan and make her the Princess of Darkness. Elena has consistently tried to suppress her sexual attraction to Damon. Elena eventually admits that she harbors deep feelings for Damon, despite her strong love for Stefan. |
| 52 | * BigDamnHeroes: Often accompanied by Stefan and Bonnie. Elena is the heroine of the series. She is frequently the one who comes to the rescue and goes above and beyond to save and safeguard the people she loves and cares for. Elena has continuously made heroic sacrifices to protect her loved ones. Elena's heroic act in "The Fury" is exemplified at the end when she selflessly sacrifices herself to protect both Stefan and Damon from the wrath of Katherine, who possesses far greater power than Elena. When Katherine tries to kill Elena, Stefan, and Damon, Elena removes Katherine's lapis lazuli jewelry, which protects her from burning in sunlight. As a result, Katherine catches fire and dies in the sunlight. Unfortunately, Elena dies because she did not have her own lapis lazuli ring at the time. Katherine had taken it away from her. Elena does not burn or go up in flames like Katherine because Katherine is much older than Elena. In "Shadow Souls", Elena embarks on a perilous rescue mission to free Stefan from a dreadful prison in the Dark Dimension. Elena was willing to risk her life by journeying to Hell and back (literally) in order to retrieve Stefan. Elena is willing to sacrifice herself to save and protect her loved ones. She has demonstrated her determination when embarking on missions to save or protect others. |
| 53 | * BirdsOfAFeather: With Damon. Elena has said that she and Damon are a lot alike personality-wise. Both are passionate, headstrong, stubborn, vain and selfish. |
| 54 | * BitchInSheepsClothing: Before meeting Stefan, she had a cold, icy, and vain personality. Although she presented a friendly demeanor to the public, she harbored selfish, cold, and bitchy tendencies beneath the surface. Elena may be physically beautiful, but her personality is not appealing or attractive. Other individuals admired her for superficial reasons, such as her physical appearance, social status, and popularity within the school and community. Elena openly admitted to using boys for her own personal and selfish gain, such as boosting her self-esteem and increasing her popularity. Elena undergoes a dramatic transformation and reveals her true personality after meeting Stefan, a side of her that she had always kept hidden from the outside world. Elena concealed her true personality to avoid appearing weak and vulnerable due to the numerous tragedies, pains, and losses she had experienced at such a young age. Meeting Stefan had a transformative and therapeutic effect on Elena's personality. She even goes as far as to acknowledge her own flaws. |
| 55 | * BloodyMurder: Elena possesses unique and potent blood as she is a half-angel, also referred to as a nephilim. Elena's sacred blood is a potent weapon utilized to eliminate Old Ones, such as Klaus. Her blood may have the ability to kill other powerful supernatural beings. Her blood is toxic to most, if not all, evil and malevolent beings. If any evil creature consumes her blood, they will die instantly. It is intriguing that both Stefan and Damon, who are vampires, have consumed her blood without either of them dying. It has been stated that Elena's blood is used to eliminate powerful malevolent creatures and evil beings, including The Old Ones. |
| 56 | * BreakTheCutie: Elena has experienced significant loss and tragedy at a young age. It is shocking and surprising that a teenage girl has remained stable despite enduring so much. Elena's life is constantly filled with problems and issues, whether they involve her friends, family, love life, or the town she calls home. Elena tragically lost both her parents, Thomas and Elizabeth, in a car accident when she was just 13 years old. Elena and her baby sister Margaret were in the car when the accident occurred. Elena also blames herself for the accident, as flashbacks reveal that she distracted her father while he was driving. Elena appears to carry a great deal of torment and guilt regarding what happened to her parents. After the unexpected death of their parents, Elena and Margaret were taken in by their father's sister, Judith, who became their legal guardian. After the death of Elena's parents, she became more distant and isolated herself from the world. She had difficulty forming close relationships with others, except for her friends, and she projected an aloof and chilly demeanor. However, her cold and distant demeanor was a facade to conceal her inner anguish and vulnerability. Elena's life is turned upside down when she eventually meets Stefan. Meeting Stefan sends her life on a rollercoaster ride filled with both positive and negative experiences. When Elena first meets Stefan unexpectedly, it is love at first sight for her. She falls in love with Stefan and feels an immediate attraction to him as soon as she sees him. She immediately falls in love with Stefan and makes a solemn vow to herself that she will be with him, no matter the consequences. However, despite Elena's love for Stefan, he initially did not seem to feel the same way about her. Instead, Stefan made a conscious effort to avoid Elena due to the painful memories of his past. He did not want to get to know her because she bore a striking resemblance to his first love, Katherine, who had tragically "died." Stefan was also avoiding Elena due to the intense and undeniable connection he felt with her. He was scared and running away from it. Eventually, Stefan and Elena confess their love for each other, but their relationship still faces numerous issues and struggles. Elena remains passionate and determined to be with Stefan, regardless of the consequences. However, Stefan's constant rejection creates tension in their new relationship. Stefan was distancing himself from Elena due to his fear, guilt, and shame. He was afraid that Elena, being a mere human, would uncover his true identity as a centuries-old vampire with a dark and troubled history. Elena eventually discovers Stefan's secret, and despite her initial fear and shock, she quickly accepts him, demonstrating her unwavering and unconditional love for him. Her relationship with Stefan is constantly plagued by strife, troubles, and chaos. The situation worsens when Stefan's older brother, Damon, arrives in town with the intention of causing problems and seeking revenge against Stefan for past events involving Katherine when they were still human. Damon not only torments Stefan, but he also plans to seduce Elena as a way to seek revenge against Stefan. Elena initially dislikes Damon and is bothered by his presence. This change later causes tension in her relationship with Stefan. Elena's situation worsens when Stefan is kidnapped and imprisoned in the Dark Dimension/The Underworld. Elena experiences severe depression and suicidal thoughts. Elena is overwhelmed with depression and despair due to Stefan's absence, to the point where she considers taking her own life because the pain and separation from Stefan are too much for her to bear. But with the support of her friends and her determination, she is able to resist the urge to act irrationally and impulsively. Elena and her friends, including Damon, venture into the Dark Dimension to rescue Stefan from prison. Elena arrives and finds Stefan in a weakened state, desperately in need of blood. Elena experienced intense loneliness while Stefan was kidnapped, leading her to seek comfort from Damon and even use him as a temporary substitute for Stefan. This brought Damon and Elena closer together and intensified Elena's feelings for Damon. Elena began to feel guilty about her feelings for Damon, knowing that Stefan was suffering in a terrible prison. Damon, driven by selfishness, decides to become a vampire again by going to the Dark Dimension after becoming human. He regrettably brings Bonnie with him into the Dark Dimension. Damon dies unexpectedly after sacrificing himself to save Bonnie, who was about to plummet to her death from the World Tree. Elena, Stefan, and Bonnie are all deeply saddened and grieving over Damon's death, with Bonnie being particularly affected due to her survivor's guilt and devastation. Fortunately, Elena, Bonnie, Stefan, and Mrs. Flowers miraculously revive Damon from death. Elena's life appears to have returned to normal. Her relationship with Stefan has stabilized after enduring numerous challenges and obstacles. Additionally, Damon's survival has brought a sense of relief. Elena and her friends are now embarking on their college journey. However, things take a turn for the worse again. Elena and Stefan's love is stronger than ever. However, tragically, Stefan unintentionally puts Elena's life in danger when he nearly drains her of blood during an intimate moment. Stefan manages to save her life just in time by rushing her to the hospital for a critical blood transfusion. Stefan recognizes that he poses a significant threat to Elena's safety and well-being and acknowledges that he is too dangerous to be a part of her life. Stefan proceeds to erase Elena's memory, as well as the memories of her friends (Bonnie, Meredith, Matt, Caroline) and her family (Margaret, Judith, Robert), ensuring that they will never remember his existence. Elena believes she is in love with Damon and considers him her boyfriend. Elena has begun to question her relationship with Damon, sensing that something is "missing" and that things are not quite right. Elena has endured significant emotional pain, making it surprising that she has not experienced a breakdown. |
| 57 | %%* BrokenBird: Elena fit this trope, especially after her parents died in a tragic car accident. |
| 58 | * BrokenHero: Elena may be the protagonist of the series, but that doesn't mean she has proven to be invincible, particularly when it comes to her emotions. Elena has experienced a lot of heartache and tragedy throughout the series. Despite her trials and tribulations, Elena remains determined to protect her loved ones and humanity. It is not surprising that Elena is emotionally distraught, although she does a good job of hiding it. She has experienced emotional and psychological trauma, as well as immense pressure and responsibility as a Guardian, tasked with protecting humanity and defeating evil forces. |
| 59 | * CharacterDevelopment: Elena undergoes the most significant personality transformation among all the characters. At first, she is extremely vain, selfish, self-absorbed, proud, and cold in personality. She appears to be indifferent and detached from others, often taking them for granted. She also showed little to no respect for the opposite sex, openly admitting to using them for her own selfish purposes, such as boosting her self-esteem. She often used her physical attractiveness to her advantage, leveraging it to gain popularity, attention from boys, and social status. Elena appeared to be shallow at first glance, lacking depth in her personality. Elena's life takes a dramatic turn when she fatefully meets Stefan, her soulmate. Meeting Stefan changed Elena's life for the better. She experienced significant personal growth as a result of Stefan's influence. Because of him, she experienced a spiritual awakening and began to reveal her true personality, which had always been concealed. She discovered that she was a deeply compassionate, caring, loving, giving, nurturing, understanding, and empathetic individual. Elena's initial personality was largely a facade, portraying her as both a jerk and emotionally distant. Elena would often appear distant and aloof towards others because she was afraid of revealing her vulnerable side and wanted to project strength. She also adopted an aloof facade as a defense mechanism, primarily due to the significant loss and tragedy she had experienced at such a young age. |
| 60 | * TheChosenOne: Elena goes from being an ordinary girl next door to discovering her destiny as a powerful Guardian. She is tasked with saving the world, upholding the force of good, and eliminating the forces of evil. Elena begins as a beautiful and popular girl next door and an ordinary high school student who believes that the world revolves around her. This all changes when she eventually discovers that she has a greater destiny than she initially thought. Unfortunately, in order for Elena to fulfill her long-held destiny, she tragically dies at the end of Dark Reunion but is later resurrected. She then discovered her true heritage: her mother was an angel and a Guardian, and she herself was a nephilim, a being who is half angel and half mortal human. It is fascinating to see Elena's transformation from a popular and beautiful girl with a normal life to becoming the ultimate victim and pawn of BecauseDestinySaysSo. |
| 61 | * ClassRepresentative: Elena was a member of the Senior Welcoming Committee during high school. Elena is a highly involved student, participating in various school activities such as dances, clubs, and voting. In "The Awakening," she also takes advantage of her position to try to get closer to Stefan by offering to show him around the school. Elena was voted into this position by the student population due to her popularity, making her one of the most, if not the most, popular girls in the school. She also assumes the role of AlphaBitch at the beginning of the story. Hence, she was often referred to as "The Queen of Robert E. Lee High." |
| 62 | * ClingyJealousGirl: Elena exhibits extreme jealousy, possessiveness, clinginess, and neediness. It could actually be one of her major flaws. Elena becomes jealous of anything or anyone that tries to interfere with her relationships, particularly with Stefan. Elena's behavior towards Stefan reaches extreme levels. Elena has always been a GreenEyedMonster, exhibiting an intensely jealous and envious personality. When she first meets Stefan, she is instantly and immediately drawn to him, experiencing love at first sight. She is so captivated by him that she vows to have him, even if it means risking their lives. At the beginning, Elena displayed extremely obsessive and borderline irrational behavior towards Stefan. She was consumed by thoughts of him and neglected her own daily life. She plotted and planned ways to get Stefan's attention. Elena felt a strong attraction towards Stefan, but she faced competition from Caroline. Both Elena and Caroline competed for Stefan's attention, each hoping to be the object of his affection. Stefan intentionally asked Caroline to go to the Homecoming Dance with him instead of Elena, as part of his plan to avoid and ignore Elena. This intensified the rivalry between the two girls, making Elena feel envious and jealous. Elena also displayed jealousy towards Stefan's relationship with Katherine. It is evident that Elena desires Stefan's love and wants to be the center of his universe, a position she already holds. Elena has also displayed some jealousy towards Damon, although it is not as intense or obvious as her possessiveness and jealousy towards Stefan. |
| 63 | %%* CoolBigSis: Elena is the older sister of Margaret. Elena, who is eighteen years old, is much older than Margaret, who is only five years old. |
| 64 | * CosmicEntity: Elena is half angel. She is a very powerful Earth Guardian who has super powers and abilities. |
| 65 | %% * CursedWithAwesome: Because Elena is half angel, she possesses various special superhuman abilities which make her very powerful. |
| 66 | %% How is that a curse? |
| 67 | %% |
| 68 | %%* DamselInDistress: Elena sometimes needs her vampire suitors (Stefan and Damon) to save her from time to time. |

| 119 | %%* HeroicSpirit |

Elena is a normal, human girl (in the beginning...[[spoiler: she discovers that she is actually a supernatural being who is half [[OurAngelsAreDifferent angel/Guardian]], half [[HalfHumanHybrid human]] ]]) born during the 20th century and Stefan is a centuries old vampire/immortal born during the 14th century. |

As a guardian angel, she would possess most of those, too, so we presume she is extra powerful. Angel guardians possess {{Telepathy}} and Elena can communicate non-verbally and hear others thoughts, specifically other supernatural beings such as vampires, werewolves, angels or any other supernatural beings. Elena frequently uses telepathy with Stefan, Damon and Bonnie throughout the series. She's TheEmpath, too, as she feels or senses emotions of others. She is able to do [[TimeTravel Time Manipulation]] and can actually go back in time. During this process, Elena has the ability to resurrect the dead, reverse memory loss, and also, physical restoration of the damage. She also has [[ThePowerOfBlood sacred]] [[MacGuffin special blood]] that is the ultimate weapon used to destroy all evil supernatural beings and creatures of the entire universe.

However, as the series progresses in ''The Return'' trilogy, Elena starts to develop special angelic powers after she came back from the afterlife. It isn't until later on in ''The Phantom'' trilogy that Elena discovers her true heritage: that she is actually half angel, hence why she possesses special angelic abilities. During the course of the ''Original'' trilogy, she is just a regular human being who is completely unaware of her destiny as a Guardian and is completely unaware of her true heritage. |

| 198 | * WhatIsThisFeeling: Elena, who was icy, vain, cold in the beginning, feels this indescribable feeling that she had never felt before when she meets Stefan. Stefan managed to have a significant impact on Elena and as a result, she ends up becoming a much more caring, selfless, compassionate person. |
| 199 | * WillTheyOrWontThey: |
| 200 | ** Elena and Damon have this type of relationship. Throughout the series, Elena and Damon have this constant on and off, hot and cold type of relationship, therefore, their relationship often leaves the readers wondering if they will take their relationship farther in future books. |

| 207 | [[folder: Stefan Salvatore]] |
| 208 | |
| 209 | Stefan is the novel series' hero, male protagonist, and male lead character. He was born July 5, 1490 in Florence, Italy. He is the youngest child and younger son of Conte Giuseppe Salvatore and Contessa Salvatore. He has an older brother, Damon. Stefan is a 500+ year old immortal born during the time of The Renaissance (during the fifteenth century), who was one of the Salvatore brothers that fell deeply in love with a young beautiful German girl who was a vampire, Katherine Von Schwarzschild, during his human life and before he was transformed into a vampire when he was a 17 year old human noble. Stefan arrives in Fells Church to start a new life and live amongst humans and enrolls as a high school student at Robert E. Lee High School to blend in like a regular teenager. It is there, where Stefan meets Elena Gilbert. He fell for her at first sight, but because Elena bears a striking resemblance to his past and first love, Katherine, he repeatedly tries to avoid her at all costs during the beginning of the series. |
| 210 | ---- |
| 211 | !! Tropes associated with Stefan include: |
| 212 | |
| 213 | %%* AbusiveParents: Stefan's father Giuseppe was an abusive man. He was not, however, abusive towards Stefan, but was abusive towards Damon. |
| 214 | * TheAce: No matter what Stefan does, he'll always turn out to be exceptional at it. Whether it's with romance, sports, education, leadership, etc. This has caused other male characters such as Damon, Tyler and even his best friend, Matt to be both admirable and envious of Stefan. |
| 215 | * ActionHero: Stefan is often involved amidst all of the action in the series, normally alongside [[ActionGirl Elena]]. |
| 216 | * ActualPacifist: Stefan dislikes using physical violence in most circumstances. However, if he is forced to use violence or kill, expect Stefan to [[{{Mangst}} angst and brood]] about it afterwards. Stefan hates killing and has never killed a human throughout his immortal life. |
| 217 | * AlcoholicParent: It was implied in the books that Stefan's father was a heavy drinker and became an alcoholic after Stefan's mother had died. Stefan has also noted that when Giuseppe was drunk, he would get into violent altercations and arguments with Damon. |
| 218 | * AlliterativeName: '''S'''tefan '''S'''alvatore. Stefan's first and last name begin with the same letter: S. |
| 219 | * TheAtoner: Due to Stefan feeling that he made costly mistakes regarding his brother Damon and doing wrong by Katherine by letting his intense rivalry with Damon destroy everyone's lives, Stefan spends his life as an immortal in the shadows yearning for a second chance, yearning for redemption from his past sins and most of all, yearning to be accepted amongst humans. Because if Stefan could be accepted amongst humans, maybe he could forgive himself, come out of the darkness and be accepted into the light. |

| 226 | %% * BettyAndVeronica: Stefan is the Betty to Damon's Veronica for Elena's Archie; the Betty to Damon's Veronica for Katherine's Archie; the Archie for Elena's Betty and Caroline's Veronica, and also, the Veronica to Matt's Betty for Elena's Archie. However, the love triangle between Stefan, Elena and Damon is the major plot point of the series. |
| 227 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: Stefan may be the nice, caring, compassionate, good brother, but DO NOT betray, manipulate or cross him. He is chilling and scary if crossed. If you hurt, threaten or harm Elena or Damon or any of his friends watch Stefan explode. And when he gets angry, he is chilling and scary; even more scary and out of control than Damon. |
| 228 | * BewareTheQuietOnes: Stefan is normally quiet and calm, but he will kick your ass if you cross him. |
| 229 | * BigGood: Stefan, along with Elena, is the one who does his very best to bring everyone together, regardless of everyone's personalities or personal agenda's, to fight together for peace and justice.

| 234 | %% * ButtMonkey: Oh boy, Stefan is this so much. He attracts so much doom and gloom. See DoomMagnet, DeusAngstMachina. |
| 235 | * ByronicHero: Stefan could be seen as this trope, because he has an ultra dark past and has a generally pessimistic, cynical outlook on life, especially before he met Elena. Before the series began, Stefan had a very cynical view on his life as an immortal. He lived in the shadows and in the darkness, yearning to be accepted by humanity. Stefan could classify as this trope because of his deep, dark past and his all consuming guilt over his actions. |
| 236 | %% * CannotSpitItOut: His love for Elena. |
| 237 | * CartwrightCurse: Stefan has had a first love who "died" and turned out to be crazy (Katherine), spent centuries without a love interest due to the grief and guilt of losing his first love and finally, meets his true love (Elena), but she repeatedly ends up dying on him throughout the series. |

| 242 | * ChronicHeroSyndrome: Stefan has a strong hero or saviour instinct. He feels the constant need to sacrifice himself, put himself in harms way in order to try to save and protect everyone. If Stefan fails to do so, he will end up harbouring guilt. Stefan's sense of heroism is so extreme at times, that it is seen as extreme martyrdom. |
| 243 | * CluelessChickMagnet: At the start of the series. Stefan attracted so much female attention when he first arrived at school. But he was completely oblivious to all the girls dying to gain his attention. Not only was Stefan oblivious to all of the girls fawning over him, but he was oblivious about Elena's intense attraction to him. Stefan's obliviousness towards Elena only made her [[TheDeterminator even more determined]] to be with Stefan. |
| 244 | * CourtlyLove: With Katherine. During the time of the Renaissance, Stefan courted Katherine for possible marriage. |
| 245 | * CursedWithAwesome: Stefan is a vampire who is powerful with many superhuman abilities. He possesses the gift of immortality. But Stefan views his vampirism as a curse and yearns to be a normal human instead. |

| 247 | * DarkSecret: The major plot point for Stefan (and Elena). Stefan keeps his deep, dark secret of being a centuries old vampire from Elena...until eventually,[[NonHumanLoverReveal Elena does find out who Stefan truly is]]. Although, Stefan being a vampire isn't Stefan's ''only'' dark secret; his mysterious, tragic past is one giant angsting secret as well. |
| 248 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: Out of all of the characters in the series, Stefan seems to have suffered the most due to the events surround his dark and mysterious past. Stefan feels guilty and responsible for a lot of the bad things that has happened in his past, even though the events that happened were not even his fault. Because Stefan harbours a lot of guilt, Stefan comes off as incredibly brooding, secretive and mysterious. Much of Stefan's guilt has to do with what happened with Katherine, feeling that he was responsible for her "death", feeling guilty and responsible for his mother's death after he was born and also, killing his brother Damon and completing his transformation into a vampire. |

Elena and her friends, including Damon, travel all the way to the Dark Dimension in order to save him from the prison in which he was being held captive. |
| 256 | * DoomMagnet: Stefan seems to attract a lot of trouble and pain no matter where he goes, hence why he is always so broody and angsty. Even though Stefan tried to leave his dark, tragic past behind him back in his hometown of Florence, Italy and start anew in a small town called Fells Church, Stefan still couldn't escape trouble. After Stefan came to Fells Church, a lot of bad stuff still happened to him. His brother Damon followed him to Fells Church to torment him out of revenge and jealousy; Stefan became the town's suspect for the mysterious murders in Fells Church (even though he was innocent), Katherine, who turned out to be alive, comes back to Fells Church and tries to kill him, Elena and Damon; Stefan experiences Elena dying TWICE (once in '''The Struggle''' after she had drowned at Wickery Bridge and another, when Elena sacrifices herself in '''The Fury''' to protect Stefan and Damon from Katherine killing them); Stefan is kidnapped and trapped in a horrible prison in the Dark Dimension and nearly dies; Stefan ends up losing his brother Damon after he dies in '''Midnight'''; and Elena develops feelings for Damon, which causes a strain in his and Elena's romantic relationship.

| 261 | * EternalLove: Elena's romance with Stefan. It has been noted throughout the books that Elena and Stefan's romance is eternal and never ending, especially with the fact that they are bounded soul to soul by [[RedStringOfFate silver cord]] which is only visible to them.

| 273 | * HappilyEverAfter: For Stefan and Elena. [[spoiler: In ''The Hunters: Destiny Rising'', Stefan gets chosen over Damon by Elena as her one true eternal mate.

This is part of the reason why Stefan is incredibly brooding and guilt-ridden |
| 287 | * IJustWantToHaveFriends: At the start of the series, Stefan wanted to fit in amongst the humans.

| 288 | * IJustWantToBeNormal: Stefan has always yearned to be a normal human again. He is incredibly self-loathing and he hates being a vampire.

Stefan has always yearned to be on good terms with Damon since childhood, but Damon has always hated him out of jealousy.

| 339 | * RedStringOfFate: In this specific novel series, the equivalent of this ancient theory is the ''Soulmate Principle'', which instead of a red string linking two destined lovers from pinky to pinky, a silver cord is used to link two destined lovers heart to heart. Stefan is bound to Elena by a silver cord, which links them together heart-to-heart or soul to soul. This implies that Elena and Stefan are destined soul mates and are each others OneTrueLove. In Vampire Diaries mythology (also used in Secret Circle and Night World), the ''Soulmate Principle'' is described as follows: |
| 340 | * RomanticVampireBoy: Stefan the vampire is one of the love interests for the series heroine, Elena (with the other main love interest being Damon, who also happens to be a vampire). |
| 341 | * SchoolIdol: After becoming a student at Robert E. Lee High, Stefan became one of the most popular boys in school. All of the girls wanted to date him, all of the guys wanted to befriend him, he became a star athlete, was a top student, was Homecoming King (with Elena being Homecoming Queen), and he had the most beautiful girlfriend in all of Fells Church (Elena). |
| 342 | * SecondLove: For Elena. Matt was Elena's first boyfriend. |
| 343 | * SecretIdentity: Stefan kept his identity as a vampire secret from everyone around him...that is until Elena found out for herself what Stefan really was. |
| 344 | * SensitiveGuyandManlyMan: Stefan is the Sensitive Guy to Damon's Manly Man. While Damon is more strong, impulsive, passionate and aggressive, Stefan is more gentle, sensitive, empathetic and compassionate. |
| 345 | * SharpDressedMan: Stefan has expensive taste in clothing due to his aristocratic upbringing. He is always dressed sharply and neatly and he hates to look unkempt, untidy and sloppy. |
| 346 | * ShelteredAristocrat: Damon often thinks of Stefan as sheltered and describes Stefan as someone who lives amongst books and paintings. Damon implies that Stefan is completely unaware of the reality of the outside world and all of the harshness and darkness that surrounds it. |
| 347 | * SiblingRivalry: Stefan has had this with Damon going back to their human lives. It has been suggested that Damon has a huge hatred towards Stefan because he feels that Stefan was responsible for the death of their mother after her giving birth to Stefan. Damon has always been extremely envious and jealous of Stefan because Stefan got all of the love, attention, respect and affection from almost everyone. On top of that, Stefan was Giuseppe's favored or preferred son over Damon. This only added to the rivalry between Stefan and Damon that had already existed since their early childhood. Aside from the parental favoritism and Stefan being the favorite in general, Stefan and Damon's sibling rivalry was at its peak when they both fell in love with a beautiful German girl who was a vampire, Katherine. Because of their rivalry and competition for her affections, Stefan and Damon ended up literally killing each other and blaming each other over Katherine and her unexpected "death" (which was later discovered to be fake). |
| 348 | * SiblingTriangle: Stefan is in a love triangle with Elena and his brother Damon. Both Stefan and Damon are in competition for Elena and her affections. Coincidentally, the same thing happened back during their human years in the 15th century with Katherine. However, [[spoiler: as of ''The Hunters: Destiny Rising'', Elena has finally chosen Stefan over Damon as her one and only final choice between the Salvatore brothers. So technically, the love triangle between Stefan, Elena and Damon has been resolved.]] |
| 349 | * SiblingYinYang: With Damon. Stefan and Damon are complete and total polar opposites in terms of personality, outlook, beliefs, and morals. Whereas Stefan is extremely moral, gentle, understanding, benevolent, empathetic, selfless, kind, caring, altruistic, obedient, responsible, noble and compassionate, Damon is immoral, reckless, selfish, careless, impulsive, rebellious, irresponsible, sadistic, cruel, unkind, uncaring and unsympathetic. The two brothers couldn't be more opposite from one another like black/white or night/day. The differences in their personalities is one of the main contributing factors in the centuries old rivalry. See SiblingRivalry. |
| 350 | * TheSmartGuy: Stefan is highly intelligent and scholarly. He has a very quick, sharp memory and is highly analytical. Not to mention that Stefan is a top student at school who gets straight A's. |
| 351 | %% * SoBeautifulItsACurse |
| 352 | * TheSpock: In the [[FreudianTrio main trio]] consisting of himself, Elena and Damon. Stefan is TheSpock (''Superego''), Elena is TheKirk (''Ego'') and Damon is TheMcCoy (''Id'').

| 354 | * StrongFamilyResemblance: To Damon. Both Bonnie and Elena have commented on how Stefan looks very physically similar to Damon due to family relation. |
| 355 | * SugarAndIcePersonality: He is very calm, cool, collected and composed and he rarely loses his temper. |
| 356 | * SuperpowerLottery: Because of Stefan's vampirism, he possesses standard vampire powers and abilities. He can move and run much faster than people, he has SuperReflexes and super agility: can react much faster and quicker and he is also able to jump or climb with ease. Stefan is able to carry or lift heavy objects with little effort. He can control the mind of any human and influence their thoughts and actions in the process. The only way to prevent Stefan from mind influencing someone is for the human victim to have vervain on them. He will heal almost immediately after any injury. He can do the {{Shapeshifting}}: if he consumes a certain amount of human blood, he can shape shift into any animal form. Stefan has transformed into a hawk, eagle and a falcon during the original trilogy after breaking his promise and drinking human blood. All of Stefan's senses are heightened. Stefan is able to see, smell and hear things from a greater distance than normals. Stefan is able to communicate with animals as well as control them if he consumes a certain amount of human blood. If Stefan consumes a significant amount of human blood, he can control the weather and the elemental atmosphere. This ability allows Stefan to influence meteorological energy patterns, creating rain, wind, hail, lightning, snow, sleet, fog and temperature changes. And he's capable of disrupting the reality of one or more things at once. The Illusion is limited, since it uses a short time but because the neutralization of the enemy and does not usually give orders to the victim |
| 357 | * SupernaturalAngst: Most of Stefan's angst, guilt and self-loathing has to due with the fact that he's a vampire and hates that he's a vampire. |
| 358 | * SupportingProtagonist: Stefan is the second most important character to Elena's protagonist. |
| 359 | * TallDarkAndHandsome: Stefan fits this trope to a T. Stefan is Italian who is extremely good looking and classically handsome with dark (jet black) hair. |
| 360 | * ThouShaltNotKill: Stefan has strong morals and a strong regard for human life. He is strongly against the killing of people under any circumstances. Stefan even feels guilty if he kills an animal. |
| 361 | * TraumaCongaLine: The amount of tragedy, grief and pain that Stefan has endured throughout his life is never-ending. It seems as though Stefan can never catch a break. |
| 362 | * TragicHero: Stefan fits this trope because he is an incredibly tragic figure who has endured much guilt, suffering and pain. |
| 363 | * TurnTheOtherCheek: Even though Damon has spent his existence torturing Stefan and making his life hell, Stefan still consistently tries to believe in Damon and that he can change into a better person. Stefan even admits that though Damon has always hated him since their human lives, he still loves and cares for his elder brother regardless. |
| 364 | * TheUndead: Stefan is an immortal who is incapable of physically aging. He also has the ability of living forever. |
| 365 | * UnwantedHarem: Stefan had many females wanting to pursue him and gain his attention, therefore he had many girls that wanted to date him. However, Stefan often brushed the girls off and was completely oblivious to their attraction to him. See ObliviousToLove, CluelessChickMagnet and SexyManInstantHarem. |
| 366 | * VampiricDraining: Stefan is a vampire, therefore, he nourishes himself and lives off of the human life essence (which is blood). Except, Stefan is a vegetarian vampire, so he really nourishes himself from the blood of animals. |
| 367 | * VegetarianVampire: Stefan fit this trope because he is a vampire that lives on a strict animal diet. Stefan mostly feeds on the blood of deer, doves and other forest animals. This is mostly due to Stefan's values and morals and the belief that killing or taking human life for blood is immoral and wrong. Because of Stefan abstinence of human blood, he is a lot weaker than Damon in terms of Power (who lives on a strict human blood diet). Still, despite this, Stefan displays the standard vampire powers and abilities such as super speed, super senses, super strength, mind compulsion, etc. |
| 368 | * ViralTransformation: Stefan was fed vampire blood by Katherine and then died with the vampire blood in his system. This resulted in a transformation in Stefan's biology. Stefan became a member of the [[TheUndead undead]] by going from a normal, teenage human to transforming into a vampire. |
| 369 | %% * WasOnceAMan: Was Once A Human. Stefan was once a regular teenage human boy before changing into a vampire. See ViralTransformation. |
| 370 | * WeakenedByTheLight: Due to Stefan's vampirism, one of his weaknesses is the sunlight. Therefore, Stefan must wear a lapis lazuli ring on his finger at all times in order to protect himself from burning in the sun. However, even though the lapis ring does protect and prevent Stefan from burning, Stefan has mentioned that the sun still weakens him and drains him physically. |
| 371 | * WhatBeautifulEyes: Stefan's eyes have been described to be green in colour. His eyes are compared to the colour of forest green leaves, emeralds or malachite. Elena has found Stefan's eyes piercing, intense and captivating. |
| 372 | * WhoWantsToLiveForever: Often felt this way during the course of his immortal life. Especially because he had endured a lot of grief and pain by losing his first love, Katherine. |
| 373 | * WithThisRing: In ''The Struggle'', Stefan proposes marriage to Elena using Katherine's small lapis lazuli ring, which he had been wearing around his neck on a chain for 500 years. He wore this ring around his neck as a memory of his love and life with Katherine after she had tragically "died". |
| 374 | * YoungestChildWins: Stefan is the youngest child between himself and Damon. As the youngest child, it was shown that Stefan was always strongly favored over Damon since their human years. Stefan was always given more love, respect, and attention and everyone (especially Stefan and Damon's father, Conti Di Giuseppe) always strongly preferred or favored Stefan over Damon. Because of this, Damon's jealousy and hatred for Stefan became stronger over the course of both his human and immortal life. Due to Damon's jealousy of Stefan, Damon had made it his life's goal to make Stefan's life a living hell by emotionally, mentally, verbally and physically tormenting, taunting and threatening him. |

| 378 | [[folder: Damon Salvatore]] |
| 379 | |
| 380 | Damon is the novel series' anti-hero and main antagonist. He was born on Oct 31, 1487 in Florence, Italy. He is the eldest child and elder son of Conte Giuseppe Salvatore and Contessa Salvatore. He has a younger brother, Stefan. Along with Stefan, he fell in love with a young German girl who was a vampire, Katherine Von Schwarzschild, during his human life and before he was transformed into a vampire in his early twenties. Damon desires to make Elena his Princess of Darkness, offer her the gift of immortality and live in the darkness and shadows for eternity together. However, Elena has repeatedly rejected Damon's wishes and advances, resulting in an angry, jealous and resentful Damon. Elena eventually reciprocates Damon's feelings; however, Elena still chooses her soulmate Stefan over him time and time again. |
| 381 | ---- |
| 382 | !! Tropes associated with Damon include: |
| 383 | |
| 384 | * AbusiveParents: His father Giuseppe, who was physically abusive and violent towards Damon. |
| 385 | * AffablyEvil: Although Damon consistently engages in immoral acts, he does so in a subtle and polite manner. Damon is not a straightforward antagonist; instead, he manipulates and charms others to achieve his goals. Damon, a wealthy nobleman during the Renaissance period, exudes sophistication in his demeanor. He is also a highly persuasive individual who uses his charm to manipulate others into fulfilling his desires or doing his bidding. Damon is a ManOfWealthAndTaste and WickedCultured. He has the ability to appear pleasant, polite, and friendly when he chooses, but he can also be quite sarcastic. Damon has demonstrated that he is not entirely evil and is capable of performing acts of goodness when he chooses to. Throughout the series, it is evident that Damon suppresses his humanity, opting to conceal it due to his fear of appearing weak or vulnerable. Damon's humanity is evident in his actions and interactions with Elena, Stefan, and particularly Bonnie. Despite Damon's selfish motives in pursuing Elena and trying to steal her from his brother, he has also demonstrated a protective nature and genuine tenderness towards her. Damon claims to strongly dislike and even loathe his younger brother Stefan since childhood, but he has occasionally shown moments of caring for him. Bonnie has proven to be Damon's ultimate weakness and vulnerability. Some may argue that Bonnie represents Damon's humanity. Overall, Damon is not irredeemable. |
| 386 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Although Katherine and Elena had feelings for Damon, they still didn't feel as strongly for him as they did for Stefan. Damon was always second best. His love for Elena was unrequited for the majority of the series. However, Elena does admit that she has some deep feelings for him in the later books. But still, for the most part, Elena repeatedly chooses Stefan over him. |
| 387 | * AloofBigBrother: Zig-zagged. Damon appears to lack a caring attitude towards his younger brother Stefan. There has always been a strong SiblingRivalry between the two, dating back to their childhood. Damon, as Stefan's older brother, is physically stronger and more powerful than Stefan. It appears that Damon has always been the physically stronger brother, even in their human lives. This can be attributed to Damon's competitive and athletic nature as a JerkJock. Damon was passionate about sword fighting, jousting, fencing, and hunting, and he was always the more athletic brother compared to Stefan. Damon possessed additional strength that he frequently utilized to his advantage over Stefan. Damon was a spirited competitor and had a naturally competitive nature. Damon's strength increased even more after he became a vampire. Damon's strict human blood diet gives him significantly more vampire power compared to Stefan, who only consumes animal blood. This dietary difference greatly diminishes Stefan's vampire abilities. Damon's high body count, resulting from his consumption of the blood of numerous innocent humans over the centuries, has earned him a reputation as one of the most powerful vampires on earth. Damon is the most powerful character in the series. Damon exhibited refinement, coolness, and arrogance during his youth as an aristocrat in his human life. He was also a certified womanizer who had a magnetic attraction to women. Stefan often felt a tinge of jealousy and envy towards Damon due to his seductive and refined beauty. He believed that some individuals of the opposite sex were more attracted to Damon's dark allure. Despite being the heir to the noble Salvatore family and possessing great appeal and strength as both a human and vampire, Damon is always overshadowed by his younger brother. While Damon possesses wealth, influence, and physical attractiveness, the majority of people still favor Stefan in terms of his personality and character. People who become acquainted with Stefan and Damon consistently show a preference or favoritism towards the younger Salvatore. Stefan was favored by their father Giuseppe, Katherine, and Elena, for example. Although Damon is able to attract many women, more women prefer Stefan over Damon as a potential spouse or long-term romantic partner. Stefan is portrayed as more practical, intelligent, noble, dutiful, and responsible than Damon, which contributes to their FoolishSiblingResponsible Sibling dynamic. Damon's romantic interests, including Katherine and Elena, have consistently chosen Stefan over him. Damon also had a strained relationship with his father, Giuseppe, and was often treated as TheUnfavorite. This tension between them dates back to Damon's childhood. Stefan received parental favoritism from Giuseppe and had a closer relationship with him compared to Damon. Damon has demonstrated that he is not as scholarly, intelligent, or academic as his younger brother. Stefan was a book smart student who consistently achieved straight A's. Damon, on the other hand, never took his academic pursuits seriously and dropped out of university because he despised school. Stefan, in contrast to Damon, has proven himself to be a charismatic leader and magnetic hero. He possesses the ability to captivate and inspire others, making them willing to listen to him and follow his lead. Damon himself has even admitted that people, both men and women, have always preferred and loved Stefan more than him. This only intensifies Damon's feelings of envy and jealousy towards his younger brother. |
| 388 | * AlwaysSecondBest: Damon has always felt this way about Stefan since their human years. Damon has always lived in Stefan's shadow since they were children. Damon was extremely jealous of his brother Stefan, who was the favored and popular son. Stefan was loved and preferred by everyone, especially their father Giuseppe, Katherine, and Elena. Damon believed that Giuseppe had shown preferential treatment towards Stefan, likely because Damon had a strained relationship with his father and failed to meet his family's or his father's expectations. In Giuseppe's eyes, Damon was an embarrassment to the family. He was seen as irresponsible, undutiful, disrespectful, rebellious, and disobedient. Giuseppe believed that Damon never understood or comprehended the meaning of duty and responsibility. Giuseppe believed that Damon's disobedience and irresponsibility brought shame upon the Salvatore family, including himself. Damon recognized that Giuseppe viewed Stefan as the complete opposite of himself - someone who was noble, dutiful, ambitious, responsible, and respectable. Stefan embodied the qualities of a good, obedient, and ideal son. Giuseppe's favoritism towards Stefan had a negative impact on Damon's self-esteem. Damon also experienced physical, emotional, and psychological abuse from Giuseppe, as well as a degree of parental abandonment and neglect, largely due to the death of his mother when he was a young boy. Katherine was also present. Despite Katherine's displays of affection and love towards Damon, it was still insufficient. It appeared that Katherine saw Damon as more of a temporary romantic interest, someone she could flirt with and manipulate to get back at his brother. Katherine had essentially confessed that she loved Stefan more than Damon, despite her growing hatred towards him due to anger and jealousy. This was because Stefan had fallen in love with Elena and replaced Katherine in his heart. Despite confessing her love for Stefan, she admitted to feeling a kindred spirit in Damon, someone she could relate to. Elena is also a factor to consider. Elena initially disliked Damon and had no desire to be involved with him. Damon was a troublemaker who endangered the people she loved and was primarily responsible for torturing Stefan. Eventually, Elena starts to lower her defenses and develops deeper feelings for Damon as the series progresses. Elena has consistently chosen Stefan over Damon. Elena has feelings for Damon and cares about him, but her love and passion for Stefan are stronger because he is her true soulmate. Damon's connection with Elena falls short compared to Stefan's connection with her. Elena's attraction to Stefan goes beyond physical or sexual desire; it is spiritual, deep, unconditional, and everlasting. Damon has always felt inadequate compared to Stefan due to the constant favoritism Stefan has received throughout their lives. Damon directed his jealousy and anger towards Stefan. Damon is determined to bring chaos into Stefan's life and strip away everything that brings him happiness and contentment. This includes his joyful life among humans and his relationship with Elena. Damon's lifelong experience of feeling inferior to his younger brother has left him with deep-seated insecurities, despite his attempts to conceal them behind a distant and unemotional demeanor. |
| 389 | * AlwaysSaveTheGirl: Damon has always protected and looked out for Bonnie, saving her whenever she's in trouble. Whenever Bonnie calls for help, Damon is always quick to come to her rescue and protect her from any potential dangers. It appears that Damon is unable to resist the urge to protect and save Bonnie. It seems to be ingrained in Damon's subconscious to ensure her safety and well-being as much as he can. Bonnie has come to view Damon as her hero, savior, and protector due to his consistent efforts to protect and save her throughout the series. Bonnie has demonstrated a deep trust in Damon, relying on him for assistance and protection whenever she is in need, regardless of the circumstances. The most notable instance of Damon saving Bonnie's life was at the end of "Midnight" when he made the ultimate heroic sacrifice. Bonnie was on the verge of falling to her death from a tall tree. Damon saved Bonnie by catching her and ensuring her safety. However, this act of heroism came at the cost of Damon's life. As a result of saving Bonnie, Damon was fatally staked in the heart or chest by the poisonous branches of the tree. Damon's ultimate sacrifice resulted in his death, but he expressed no regrets about saving Bonnie. He admitted that he would willingly repeat the act, as long as it ensured Bonnie's safety and well-being. Damon's behavior towards Bonnie is considered unusual because he typically shows little concern for others' well-being and only prioritizes his own interests. |
| 390 | * AndNowYouMustMarryMe: Sort of. Damon tries to coerce Elena plenty of times throughout the series to be with him, normally through the use of threats. |
| 391 | * AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: Many times with Elena, especially in the later books. Although Elena does admit she has feelings for Damon, Elena still tells Damon that Stefan is her true love no matter what. |
| 392 | * TheAntagonist: Damon is the main antagonist of the series. He does become more of an anti-hero archetype later on. |
| 393 | * AntiHero: Damon is the immoral, malevolent main character. He is the main antagonist of the story. Damon is also the anti-hero to Stefan's [[TheHero hero]]. |
| 394 | %% * AntiVillain: In the later books. |

| 396 | %% * BadassBoast: Damon often boasts about his power as a vampire. |
| 397 | * BadPowersBadPeople: Damon has superhuman abilities as a vampire, but he often doesn't use them for noble deeds or intentions. |
| 398 | * BadSamaritan: Whenever Damon seems to helping someone, he often has an not so noble ulterior motive. |
| 399 | %% * BeautyIsBad: Damon may be hot, but damn, he is probably the biggest jerk ever. |
| 400 | * BecauseYouWereNiceToMe: Bonnie has always tried to see the good in Damon, even when he was still doing all the wrong things. Damon was dismissed by everyone else at the time, labeled as a bad guy incapable of love, compassion, and doing the right thing. Bonnie was the only one who initially refused to give up on Damon and saw his potential for goodness. Bonnie was the first to bring out Damon's deeply buried humanity in the series, even before Elena. Damon's deep gratitude for Bonnie's compassion and kindness has driven him to dedicate his life to protecting, saving, and nurturing her. Damon's instinct to save and protect Bonnie has become ingrained due to his consistent efforts. |
| 401 | %% * BeingGoodSucks |
| 402 | * BelligerentSexualTension: With Elena. Elena and Damon have a snarky relationship where Elena seems highly annoyed with everything that Damon says or does. This back and forth snarky dialogue between the two is often perceived as sexual UST and tension between Damon and Elena. |
| 403 | %% * BettyAndVeronica: Damon is the Veronica to Stefan's Betty for Elena's Archie; also the Veronica to Stefan's Betty for Katherine's Archie. |
| 404 | %% * BerserkButton: If you hurt either Stefan, Elena, or especially Bonnie, watch Damon's violent side come out. |
| 405 | %% MISUSE. Please swap with a different anger trope. |
| 406 | * BigBrotherBully: Towards Stefan. Verbally, physically and emotionally, and he also threatened to kill Stefan on multiple occasions. This has been Stefan and Damon's [[CainAndAbel dynamic]] ever since their human lives as children. |
| 407 | * BlackSheep: Damon didn't fit in with his aristocratic family. He was too rebellious and impulsive for a nobleman, while Stefan fit the standards of a proper noblemen (responsible, dutiful, noble, honourable). Giuseppe, his father, would often refer to Damon as a ''ne'er do well coward''. |
| 408 | * BloodKnight: Damon spent his immortal life being a part of mercenary companies. He engaged in much violence, killing and slaughtering of innocents over the course of his immortal life so that he could drink lots of human blood in order to gain Power. |
| 409 | * BlueBlood: Like Stefan, he comes from wealth and an aristocratic family. |
| 410 | * BookDumb: Damon was not academically inclined during his human years. He actually displayed a dislike for school and studying in general. Stefan, in contrast, appeared to have a genuine passion for academia and studying. Stefan was a diligent and ambitious student who consistently achieved exceptional grades in school. In contrast, Damon was a lackadaisical student in university and relied heavily on tutors to avoid failing his subjects.Damon prioritized personal pleasure over studying or fulfilling his responsibilities as a nobleman. Damon engaged in various activities such as partying, drinking, womanizing, gambling, hunting and hawking, jousting, and sword fighting. Eventually, Damon became so exhausted with university that he decided to drop out and return home, much to the disappointment of his father, Giuseppe. Giuseppe criticized Damon for being an irresponsible and lazy coward due to his lack of ambition in his studies and his obligations as a nobleman. Damon has demonstrated exceptional intelligence and sharpness in various aspects, despite not being involved in scholarly or academic pursuits. Damon appears to possess a pragmatic wisdom that his younger brother Stefan lacks, possibly due to Damon being the older sibling and Stefan being more idealistic in his thinking. |
| 411 | %% * BromanticFoil: Damon represents everything that his younger brother Stefan does not. |
| 412 | %% * BrutalHonesty: Damon is known for his cutting, sarcastic, and blunt nature. He never hesitates to speak his mind or tell the honest truth, even if it may be hurtful and cutting. Damon is known for being highly opinionated. He lacks consideration for others when he speaks his mind. Stefan has been the target of his harsh comments and opinions since childhood. |
| 413 | %% * ByronicHero: Damon is cynical, dark and rebellious. |
| 414 | * CainAndAbel: The Cain to Stefan's Abel. Damon, The Cain, has hated and has always been jealous of Stefan since childhood for a number of reasons. First, Damon believes that Stefan is responsible for the death of their mother because their mother had died a few years after Stefan's birth. Although this isn't Stefan's fault, Damon blames Stefan for the death of their mother. Damon has always been jealous of Stefan because Stefan was always the favored child, not just with their [[AbusiveParent father Giuseppe]], but with everyone else as well. Stefan, who is the Abel, has always been the good, ideal and obedient son who is described to be noble, honorable, good-hearted and [[IncorruptiblePurePureness pure of heart]]. Damon, on the other hand, was viewed as the [[DarkMessiah "ne'er do well son]], who was rebellious, [[ItsAllAboutMe selfish]], [[TheBully sadistic]], unkind, uncaring, impulsive, [[TheSociopath sociopathic]] and [[{{Jerkass}} unsympathetic]]. Out of jealousy, Damon had made it his life's mission to physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually damage and torment Stefan and make his life a living Hell. He has threatened Stefan on numerous occasions and has threatened to kill Stefan. Like Cain did to Abel, Damon did end up killing Stefan during a sword fight after he stabbed Stefan in the heart. This caused Stefan to transform into a vampire. |
| 415 | * CantHaveSexEver: Although Damon is a highly passionate and lustful person, he is impotent due to being a vampire. |
| 416 | * TheCasanova: Ever since Damon's human years, he has been a player and a womanizer. Instead of taking his education seriously during his human life, Damon spent his time womanizing. Damon is the type of attract women like a moth to a flame, use them to get what he wants and then is likely to dump them afterwards (this seems to be different in regards to Elena though, considering that Damon spends the entire series obsessing over and chasing after Elena). |
| 417 | %% * CharacterDevelopment: Damon goes from a straight up villain to an anti-hero archetype. |
| 418 | %% * TheCharmer: Tries to pull this on many women. A lot of women fall for it, despite his personality. |
| 419 | * TheChessmaster: Damon is scheming, manipulative, cunning and he'll use others in order to get what he wants. |

| 421 | * ControlFreak: Damon is excessively commanding, dominating and controlling with others, especially towards those who are weaker than he is or appear weaker or more vulnerable than he is (i.e. Stefan and Bonnie). |
| 422 | * CrazyJealousGuy: Damon is extremely envious and jealous at his core. Ever since childhood, Damon has always been very jealous of his younger brother Stefan, most likely because of their father [[ParentalFavouritism Giuseppe strongly favoured Stefan]] over Damon.Or also the fact that Stefan was the sibling who had always [[YoungestChildWins received the most love, attention and respect from everyone]]. Aside from Damon's jealousy of Stefan since their human lives, Damon has always gotten extremely jealous in regards to Elena always choosing Stefan over him. When Elena repeatedly rejects Damon's advances and wishes, Damon not only becomes insanely jealous, he also becomes insanely (and psychopathically) vengeful (especially towards Stefan). |
| 423 | %% * CulturedBadass: Damon comes from an aristocratic family. |
| 424 | * DarkAndTroubledPast: According to Stefan, Damon suffered emotional and physical abuse from his (and Stefan's) father Giuseppe during childhood. |

| 432 | * DidNotGetTheGirl: [[spoiler: In ''Destiny Rising'', Elena chooses Stefan over Damon as her final choice. Damon ends up single.]] |
| 433 | * DirtyCoward: Damon will often resort to manipulating or hurting others with the use of dirty tricks in order to get whatever he wants. |
| 434 | * DrivenByEnvy: Much of Damon's vengefulness is driven by his intense rivalry and jealousy towards Stefan. |
| 435 | %% * EntitledBastard: Very much, especially during his human years. |
| 436 | * EvenBadMenLoveTheirMamas: Damon was said to be very close with his mother as a human child before she died. Hence why Damon blames Stefan for her death (becasue she died a few years after giving birth to Stefan). |

Although, instead of Damon doing the right thing in general, Damon is more about doing what's ''right for him''. |

| 539 | [[folder: Bonnie [=McCullough=]]] |
| 540 | |
| 541 | Bonnie is the second female lead of the series after Elena and one of Elena's best friends. She was born on Mar 10, 1992 in Fells Church, Virginia. She is the youngest child and the younger daughter of Colin [=McCullough=] and Ailsa [=McCullough=]. She has an older sister, Mary. She also ends up competing with Elena in feelings for Damon -- unusual because of her bubbley and cheerful personality, which contrast with Damon's dark brooding, though it turns out she is stronger and braver than she looks. |
| 542 | ---- |
| 543 | !! Tropes associated with Bonnie include: |
| 544 | |
| 545 | * ACupAngst: Bonnie frequently expresses dissatisfaction with her lack of breast size. She frequently complains about feeling more like a child than a young woman due to her small breasts. Due to her small chest size, she has always felt insecure about her appearance and physical attractiveness. Bonnie wears push-up or padded bras to enhance her small bust size. Bonnie has expressed feelings of jealousy towards Elena, Meredith, and Caroline due to their larger bust sizes. This has caused Bonnie to feel less feminine, despite being the most girly and feminine among the group of girls. Bonnie's inferiority complex is exacerbated by the fact that she is perceived as a child who requires constant protection within the core group. Damon has observed that Bonnie is not completely flat-chested and describes her as a solid A cup, indicating that she has some size in the chest area. |
| 546 | * ActionGirl: Bonnie frequently finds herself in the midst of all the action, just like Elena and Meredith. Bonnie is the resident witch in the series. Bonnie, despite her petite and small stature, is arguably the most powerful female character and the strongest among the girls in terms of power. This is due to her exceptional abilities as a psychic witch. At the beginning, Bonnie is portrayed as fragile, vulnerable, and weak, resembling more of a DamselInDistress. She consistently fainted or passed out whenever she attempted to use her strong powers due to her lack of control over them. Over time, she has learned to control and master her powerful witch abilities, becoming a valuable asset during missions, plans, and battles. It is interesting to note that despite her strong powers, she is often portrayed as someone who constantly needs protection, particularly from male characters. Bonnie has demonstrated her value and ability to excel when necessary. She utilizes her power to assist, safeguard, and rescue her friends from peril and hazards. |
| 547 | * AffectionateNickname: Bonnie's friends have given her various nicknames, including Bon, Bon-Bon, The Little One, Sweet Bonnie (coined by Shinichi), Pixie, Firebrand, Druid Priestess, Curlew, Songbird, The Redhead, Redhead, Strawberry-Haired Girl, Little Red-haired Girl, and Fiery Little Pixie (coined by Stefan Salvatore). Damon is responsible for creating most of Bonnie's affectionate nicknames. Damon has several nicknames for Bonnie and rarely calls her by her first name, although the reason for this is unknown. Damon's nicknames for Bonnie are affectionate and often reference her hair color. Damon commonly refers to Bonnie as "Little Redbird" or "Redbird". Bonnie is often referred to by various nicknames that highlight her small and petite stature. She is the shortest person in the core group. Other pet names and nicknames given to Bonnie often reflect her light-hearted, sweet, caring, and sensitive personality. |
| 548 | * AllGirlsWantBadBoys: Bonnie appears to be naturally attracted to men with a darker nature or personality. It is understandable given Bonnie's light-hearted personality and fragile and gentle temperament. Her attraction to men with darker personalities may be a case of OppositesAttract. Bonnie is initially drawn to Stefan, a brooding and mysterious loner. Bonnie finds Stefan to be a romantic, cultured, mysterious, and sophisticated individual. However, Bonnie recognizes Elena's strong feelings for Stefan and chooses to step back from her own crush on him. Bonnie is still friends with him. Later, Bonnie develops strong feelings for Damon, a rebellious, dark, and charming bad boy. It is clear how she feels about him in the later books. Bonnie and Damon share a deep, complex, and magnetic relationship. Their connection and relationship is often regarded as one of the most intriguing dynamics in the series, with a combination of platonic, romantic, and sexual elements. It walks a fine line between innocence and intense passion, creating an intriguing and unusual dynamic (according to many readers). It could be argued that Bonnie's relationship with Damon is the most erotic and sensual in the series. |
| 549 | * AllLoveIsUnrequited: Bonnie had always had deep feelings for Damon. But Damon was always in love with Elena and therefore, only had eyes for her. |
| 550 | * AlwaysSecondBest: Bonnie always feels this way regarding Elena, and even Meredith. Bonnie has always felt like she is second best and in the shadows of Elena, who is her best friend. |
| 551 | * AlwaysSomeoneBetter: Bonnie feels this way about Elena. Bonnie sees that Elena is the most popular girl, the star. Bonnie frequently feels like she is never good enough or that she will never measure up to Elena. |
| 552 | * AnimalMotifs: Birds due to her nickname being "Little Redbird" or "Redbird". Damon affectionately gave her this nickname. Damon gave Bonnie this pet name because of her pleasant and melodious voice, which he believes sounds like a sweet, singing songbird. She is also given this nickname because of her vibrant red hair. Therefore, given Bonnie's red hair and pleasant voice, the nickname "Redbird" is fitting. Coincidentally, Damon's animal motif is a raven or black crow, which is a bird. Damon possesses the vampire ability to transform into a black crow or raven. |
| 553 | * ApologizesALot: Bonnie always takes the opportunity to apologize when it's necessary. Bonnie tends to apologize whenever she believes she has done something wrong or inconsiderate, as a way to make amends for her mistakes. Bonnie's tendency to have a GuiltComplex often leads her to feel remorseful or sorry for things that were not her fault in the first place. This is a trait she shares with Stefan. |
| 554 | %%* BadassAdorable: Bonnie may be a powerful psychic who can kick ass, but she is totally adorable at the same time. |
| 555 | %%* BadassUnintentional: Bonnie has never thought of herself as a heroic person. |
| 556 | %%* BeastAndBeauty: Bonnie and Damon with Bonnie as the Beauty to Damon's Beast. |
| 557 | * BetterAsFriends: With Matt. Although Bonnie initially develops a crush on Matt, she realizes that she has more of a platonic connection with Matt than a romantic connection. |
| 558 | * BewareTheNiceOnes: She tends to be underestimated because of her lovable, bubbly personality and childlike looks, but she's always brave and willing to help and to protect her friends in dangerous situations. Don't mess with her friends or loved ones. You will regret it and she has strong psychic powers. Bonnie may be sweet, but she is also fiery and emotional |
| 559 | %%* BewareTheSillyOnes: Bonnie may appear ditzy and out there, but don't get on her bad side. |
| 560 | * [[TheBigGuy The Big Girl]]: Not in a physical aspect. Although Bonnie is very small and fragile looking, Bonnie is extremely powerful. In fact, Bonnie is just as powerful as Elena and Damon if she really concentrates on using her psychic abilities. She's also the character who displays much more courage and bravery than even Elena and Stefan, who are the heroine and hero of the series respectively. She also contributes to the group and is a highly [[HyperCompetentSidekick competent individual]]. |
| 561 | * BlessedWithSuck: Her psychic abilities are hereditary. However, in the beginning, Bonnie didn't have much control over them and would often faint or pass out due to overusing them. |
| 562 | * BookDumb: Bonnie is not academically inclined and lacks enthusiasm for school. She appears to prioritize her appearance over intellectual pursuits and does not show any interest in scholarly or academic activities. She differs from Elena and Meredith in this aspect, as they both demonstrate interest in school activities and their studies. Bonnie is more interested in socializing with friends, pursuing romantic relationships, and developing her psychic abilities and skills in witchcraft. She also has a strong interest in the unusual and the bizarre, such as death and morbidity, for example. Bonnie's adventurous nature is not well-suited for the academic environment. Bonnie may not excel in book smarts, but she compensates with her intuition and sharp mind. She has demonstrated her savvy nature and has successfully resolved numerous major problems throughout the series. Bonnie frequently requires assistance with her studies, and Meredith is particularly helpful to her. |

| 617 | * OppositesAttract: With Damon. Damon is known to be sarcastic, cunning, selfish, sadistic, impulsive, reckless and cruel. Bonnie is the opposite; she is selfless, kind, caring, sensitive, good-hearted and understanding. |

| 624 | * PurityPersonified: Bonnie is frequently described as being pure and innocent. She is pretty, kind, caring and the epitome of kindness and goodness. |
| 625 | * PsychicPowers: Because of Bonnie's ancestry, Bonnie is a psychic and therefore, possesses powerful psychic abilities. Bonnie doesn't like her psychic powers due to the fact that when she overuses them, she sometimes falls unconscious, faints or blacks out but when asked by Honoria Fell, she decides to keep them and she tries to use them as well as her late Grandma in Scotland had used them. Bonnie is terrified of her strong abilities and powers and what she is capable of doing with them, fearing that her powers might control her rather than the other way around. Bonnie tends to pass out after her visions and has yet to show any real usage of her power. Bonnie is also a very capable practitioner of witchcraft and magic, as she was able to use magic to track down Stefan Salvatore and to summon a spirit after Elena's death. She may or may not be considered a witch, but it's most likely that she is considered a psychic and practitioner of magic. |

Although Matt has always felt a degree of affection for Bonnie and even pursued a romance with Bonnie briefly in ''Dark Reunion'', Matt sees his relationship with Bonnie as more platonic in nature.

Later Caleb moved to Fell's Church, at home of his uncles, in early summer, after the "disappearance" of his cousin Tyler, following the fight against Klaus. Suddenly, he finds himself having memories of two conflicting realities (one that was real, and one that was made up of fake memories implanted by the Guardians). The reason he retains his real memories is because he is supernatural (not just a dormant werewolf, but also some kind of spellcaster). He sees newspaper articles depicting each reality as well, and determines from them that Elena and her friends know what has happened and why his memories are so conflicting. Hoping that they also know where Tyler is, Caleb begins doing yard work for aunt Judith, hoping to get closer to Elena so that she will tell him everything. Physically, Caleb had shaggy, dark blond hair and blue eyes. He was pale, short and weighed very little, prompting him to use a glamour to make himself seem desirable when approaching Elena. |

Due to her age, she gives little to no evidence of understanding the activities and concerns of her older sister or the other characters. She perceives Elena's death as her older sister's having gone to be with their parents. Her parents died when she was around one year old, so she has little memory of them.
