The girl that everyone either wants or wants to be.
Elena is beautiful with long, golden hair, blue eyes and a gorgeous body. She has never been rejected or ignored by any man, until Stefan came along.
Elena is a very determined, strong willed woman, who has always been reaching for something, just beyond her grip. While she can be conceited and only worried about what she wants, she is loyal to the end and fiercely protective of her loved ones.

Stefan Salvatore

Stefan is the exotic stranger that is haunted by his past.
He is gorgeous and exotic, and Elena is enraptured by him from the moment Stefan stepped into her life. An average height but tall in his era, Stefan has wavy black hair, green eyes the colour of oak leaves, and a perfectly sculptured face.
He loves Elena with fiery passion, but is wary of his brother and whether Elena can resist Damon's charm.

Katherine von Swartzchild

Innocent kitten or prowling tigress?
She is another beauty of the series that loved both Damon and Stefan. She is similar to Elena in looks, with golden-white hair and jewel blue eyes. She then seeks revenge on the Salvatore's after they refuse to share her.

Bonnie McCullough

The perky, red haired psychic.
Bonnie is sweet and lovable with a head of red curls and a cute heart shaped face. A lover of romance Bonnie is the one that eventually leads the group to the other Power.

Rejected lover with a heart of gold.
Matt is the all American guy, with blue eyes and blonde hair. He is energetic, trusting and all-round lovable character.

Alaric Saltzman

Just a bad history teacher, or something more?
Alaric is a researcher who investigates vampire attacks. He was brought to calm Fell's Church's fears, but he isn’t that knowing. A sandy-haired Aquarius, he is a nice guy in deep water.
