Character: Elena Gilbert Series: Vampire Diaries Age: 17 Canon: The Vampire Diaries is a series that focuses on supernatural entities such as vampires, werewolves, and witches, all of which can be found in the town called Mystic Falls, Virginia. The town itself seems to be a magnet for the supernatural, dating back to the 1800s and possibly even beyond. There is even an organization created by the founding families; this organization is aware of the supernatural threats within town and do everything they can to fight against it. It’s also the place where Elena Gilbert meets Stefan Salvatore; a vampire who changes her life and turns it topsy turvy. Elena is the female protagonist of the series. She's a normal human being caught up in supernatural events due to meeting and getting to know the Salvatore brothers. She's kind, empathetic and very selfless, often sacrificing anything possible, even herself, to save the people she loves. She also has a tendency to make her opinion known if need be, and she won't hesitate to do what she needs to do. She tends to be straight forward and she tries her best to help others out in any way she can. Elena is constantly trying to see the best in others, always giving second chances because she wants to believe in the good in people, no matter who they are. Above all else, she tries her best to live her life as who she is: a stubborn teenage girl who loves the people in her life and wants the best for them. Sample: The brochure said this was a zombie camp, but I thought that was just a theme. You know, like Six Flags’ Halloween tour. Still, I came here thinking I could take a break from the supernatural and instead, I get this. I know, getting handed a shotgun and a guidebook on how to kill zombies pretty much explains everything. But, seriously, feeding a zombie through the wood chipper? That’s one I haven’t heard. I mean, it’s not that surprising anymore -- it’s not quite on the same level as finding out your boyfriend is a vampire, anyway. No, don't ask; it's a long story. Anyway, I hope you realize that you're making a bunch of poor life-- er, unlife choices. I think you should sit down and think about where you want to go in life. I mean, I know it’s why I’m here. Back home, it’s different. Really different. So I thought summer camp would be a good fix. S’mores, bonfires, fishing and late night slumber parties; that’s what I remember from the last time I went to summer camp. You can see why I came here now, right? The brochure even said there was a hot spring. Nothing says relaxation like a hot spring. I also thought it’d be a nice break-- something relaxing, something fun; a place where I could get away from it all. It’s the same for you too, I’m guessing. You’re here to help yourself. So let’s get back to your life choices. I’m well aware of what you need: you need to eat brains to survive. But haven't you thought of any alternatives? Look, here's the brochure for CFUD; it says that the mess hall serves Tuesday soup on Tuesdays. The ingredients are human body parts. I'm sure you could find a brain or two in there. The reason I’m saying this is because I know some other people who are into alternatives. I’m not saying gorilla brains aren’t good; I’m just trying to point out that they fight back. With the way you are, I doubt you’d be able to survive what they do to you. I hear sheep brains are a delicacy in some places. Couldn’t you go that route instead? It looks like you still don't trust me. Alright, how about this? I’ll promise not to hurt you in any way and I’ll try to protect you from any other campers who might have ideas about killing the undead. I’m going to do this because I believe you can change for the better and that’s what’s the most important here-- wait! Stop, don’t go after that gorilla again! Remember, life choices; you’re the one who makes them. Now ask yourself, do you really want to give up what makes you human just for a quick snack or two? . . . that looks like a yes. Come on, don’t you see what happens when you don’t listen to reason? You lose an arm and a leg -- literally, as you’ve probably noticed. Here, let me help you put them back on and then we can get something to eat. Does that sound fair? Good. I knew you’d make the right choice in the end. ( 88.9% , wat ) [ VOTING POST @ HERE ] |
