Post by Damon Salvatore on Jul 28, 2011 10:46:47 GMT -5
Elena is a slender, athletic seventeen year old girl. She has an olive complexion, brown eyes and long, straight, dark brown hair. In the pilot, Elena is quiet, withdrawn and melancholy. It is revealed that the reason for this is the death of her parents, a few months beforehand. Her friends reveal that before her parents' death, she was active, popular and cheerful, and that her recent change in behavior is due to her loss. As the show progresses, she begins to regain some of her 'pep'; meeting Stefan is part of the reason for this. Elena has been shown to be very protective of her family, very astute, and with high moral standards. She displays deep affection for her friends, and often takes it upon herself to worry about people who don't expect or welcome her concern.
Elena is also very stubborn and fiesty. She's very direct and prefers to confront people head-on as opposed to keeping her anger bottled up. She displays trust in Stefan, Damon and others, despite their past actions and recent transgressions. [/i][/s]
Stefan Salvatore
Stefan is tall, lean and handsome with short, brown hair and green eyes. He appears quite serious and often sad, though has a very engaging smile. He has a tattoo of a rose on his right shoulder. Stefan appears to be sombre and a little distant towards most people, though generally polite. He is in control of his emotions most of the time. His brother, Damon, is able to stir him to rage quite easily, and Elena Gilbert seems to be able to evoke a more passionate side to him.
Damon commonly wears a jacket or very dark clothes. He is pale with light blue eyes and brown hair and appears to be in his early-to-mid-20s. At the start of the season, his personality is the polar opposite of his brother Stefan Salvatore, coming across as arrogant and selfish. He is said to possess sociopathic tendencies, being absolutely charming one minute and extremely dangerous the next, showing no remorse for the killings he has committed. He enjoys toying with people and causing grief to those around him (most of all Stefan) and, unlike his brother, he is very powerful and usually gets what he wants. It's possible that he learned to behave this way from Katherine.[/s]
Jeremy Gilbert
He has brown hair and brown eyes and is often seen with a different haircut. He wears casual clothes, which are usually dark in colour. Jeremy starts off the season as a drug-dependent, 15-year old who is coping with the loss of his parents four months prior to the events of the pilot episode. He also ditches history class, which has put him in Mr. Tanner's bad books. He is also in love with Vicki Donovan, Matt's sister, and lost his virginity to her even though she was also involved with Tyler Lockwood. The two of them see one another as drug buddies, but also share a kiss.
Bonnie Bennett
Bonnie Bennett is the best friend of Elena Gilbert and also a witch. Her ancestor is Emily Bennett, whose own ancestors originated from Salem, Massachusetts, but fled the town during the infamous Salem Witch Trials. Bonnie Bennett is a charming and free-spirited eighteen year old witch. She was born in the town of Mystic Falls, Virginia and is the best friend of Elena. Bonnie is considered to be very mature for her age; she defends her opinion fiercely and is unable to keep quiet about what she thinks is right. This often makes her look like a prejudiced person, since in more than one occasion she has demonstrated her antipathy toward people that she doesn't know.
Black-haired and brown-eyed, she appears very sweet and seductive on the surface, but her personality could change in an instant into someone who was impulsive and, at times, not very nice. Both Stefan and Damon tell Elena this when she asks about her early on.[/s]
Jenna Sommers
A dark strawberry blonde with blue eyes, she is the much younger sister of Elena and Jeremy's mother, Miranda. After the Gilberts' deaths in a car accident she becomes their sole legal guardian but at first has a tough time keeping Jeremy under control, due to his drug habit while she maintains a steady relationship with her niece, Elena. She is also writing up her thesis but it is unknown what subject she is taking.
Caroline Forbes
Caroline is pale with long blond hair and is very chatty. Caroline is a bright and cheerful person with a large streak of bitchiness, and is very competitive, especially when it comes to Elena. It seems that she's not very good at keeping secrets.
Matt Donovan
Matt is a kind, good-natured guy whose recent breakup with Elena Gilbert has left him somewhat lovelorn. He looks out for his friends, and his older sister Vicki, due to her drug habit and tendency to be irresponsible. Their parents are nowhere to be found, and he's the one who picks up the slack. He's easy-going, friendly and considerate, and can occasionally be withdrawn. Matt has what could be described as all-American, boy-next-door good looks. He's tall, athletic, with blue eyes and blonde hair. He wears a red and black Mystic Falls Timberwolves (the school football team) jacket for much of the pilot. He is a loyal, protective and caring person. He shows great concern for the health, welfare and virtue of his sister, Vicki, especially after her attack in the pilot and during her stay in the hospital. He is also sure to let Stefan know that he cares about Elena and would do anything for her. His relationship with both his sister and irresponsible mother has forced him to grow up sooner and become independent despite his desires to just be a kid.
Vicki Donovan
She had long brown hair and brown eyes and seemed to be very trashy in the way she dressed. While Vicki was quite comfortable and playful with her brother, Matt, she clearly had low self-esteem and didn't seem to think she was deserving of being in a caring relationship with someone. She was of the opinion that all men want her for is sex.
Tyler Lockwood
Handsome with dark, close-cropped brown hair and brown eyes. In the beginning, Tyler is cocky, self-assured, and a bully. He is student and star athlete at Mystic Falls High School. He sees himself in the role of alpha male, and seems to have no qualms about forcing himself on women. He is known for his arrogance and aggressive attitude towards a number of other characters, particularly any man from whom he may meet competition. He has a flaring temper that seems to get more and more unpredictable around the time of a full moon. Despite these things however, his dysfunctional relationships with his family – coupled with the grand and somewhat socially-alienating status of being one of the Founding Families – seems to have profoundly affected his ability to relate properly with others. Particular relationships, especially that between Tyler and his mother, appear to be very significant to his overall negative behavior towards the other characters, particularly Stefan Salvatore, Jeremy Gilbert and Vicki Donovan.
Alaric Saltzman
Brown-haired and blue-eyed, he is very handsome and is very knowledgeable. When he first arrives at Mystic Falls High, he introduces himself as the new history teacher, coming across as a lot friendlier than Mr. Tanner, even telling the students to call him 'Rick'.
