She stands at a height of five feet and six inches.
History: Elena's history here and info on The Vampire Diaries book series here
Though the difference is that book four never happened and Elena just stayed dead.
Personality:
When they first said, "don't judge a book by it's cover," it's possible they were referring to Elena Gilbert.
Elena Gilbert is the queen of Robert E. Lee High, or she might as well be. She’s the girl every girl wants to be and every guy wants to be with. The one that takes an extra amount time in the mirror, the one who’s quick thinking and can get whatever she wants.
Some might call her spoiled, others might say she’s a bitch, shallow and selfish. For the most part she is all of the above. This is very present early on in the series in the way she handles her personal relationships. With Bonnie and Meredith it comes off like she just has them to do her dirty work, more like minions than friends. This also includes her ex-boyfriend Matt Honeycutt who she basically tells that they’re no longer dating, using choice words and sugar coating it. Her friendship with him doesn’t stop there though because he still has feelings for her and she knows that and uses it to her advantage. Through this behavior Elena had gained the nickname of “Ice Princess” because she can come off as cold toward others.
Even though her actions toward people she cares for are rather harsh. Elena is a caring person. It’s just not easy to see it though. She loves her close friends and family and would do anything to protect them from any sort of danger. This side of her is shown later on in the books at first little by little, since she’s more obsessed with her reparation. It’s explained that she, through hints and small happenings, is as loyal to her friends as they are to her. Not only is her loyalty extended to Bonnie and Meredith but to Matt as wall since she does care for him, like a brother. This loyalty to her friends is shown when she chooses to sacrifice herself to stop Katherine from doing them harm. It’s needless to say that she would die for them.
It’s no secret that Elena is a strong willed person. This maybe do to having lost her parents at an early age and having to deal with it on her own. It’s often said throughout the series that this is what attracts Stefan toward her. Because unlike Katherine she isn’t frail, docile, or delicate. She has a mind of her own and knows how use it to get what she wants. Elena uses this will to get her hands on Stefan. At first just using her ordinary high school antics to try and get his attention. Which it does, although he chooses to stay away from her, ultimately he does come around when she ends up in trouble.
As the series progresses along with her relationship with Stefan Salvatore, Elena’s cold hard bitch persona begins to fade but never completely goes away. Being with Stefan has had a positive effect on her, making her more open and affectionate. In truth being with Stefan has improved her, made her more of an actual likable person without changing her completely. Although this relationship has changed her for the better it does have its flaws. Elena is too emotionally, physically and mentally dependent on Stefan. This is quite clear when, only after about a day into the relationship, she tells Stefan that she loves and can’t be without him.
Her intelligence is questionable. Elena is described as being very smart and her methods of using people to her advantage could be proof of that. But she seems to be failing in one or two of her senior classes. As stated by Mr. Tanner, she is failing history but this could be from lack of interest. Showing that Elena learns more from doing then being told or reading from a book.
If someone were to judge Elena on her looks alone they would be surprised at her true nature. Her best friend Bonnie said it best when she wrote: She wasn't a saint. She wasn't always sweet and good and honest and agreeable. But she was strong and loving and loyal to her friends, and in the end she did the most unselfish thing anybody could do. Even though she isn’t a lot of things one looks for in the girl next door. Elena still has her redeemable qualities.
Sexual Preferences/Orientation:
Elena Gilbert is a man eater. or was. She has stated it herself that she views the male half of the population as toys. Plaything that are at her disposal and this is her attitude through must of the book series. Even though she says she changed after meeting Stefan but Elena hadn't.
Sex was nothing but a game for her. A trophy that not just anyone could have, you had to be worthy to have been with Elena Gilbert. Some might have called her a slut but in her eyes they were jealous. She just knew how to express herself better then other people did in the sexual department. There's no shame in it.
She has only ever been attracted and play with the male sex.
Powers:
When a Elena returns from the after she had gain a few new things. Like her new sparkly aura that other supernatural beings can see. It cause her to be like a target for the things that go bump in the night.
Enhanced senses: Like when she was a vampire Elena's sight, smell and hearing are all enhanced.
Telepathy: Elena no longer has to communicate by mouth but she can, like when she was a vampire, communicate with her mind but only to others with a psychic edge. example: vampires, Bonnie.
Note: Elena will learn that she has these "gifts" as she moves along in the game.
Reason for playing: What about this character speaks to you? What makes you want to write them? Why a panfandom setting, instead of a single-fandom game or dressing room? What would you like to do with them in Bete Noire in particular?
