»»History:
Born June 22, 1992 to John Gilbert and 16 year old Isobel Flemming, Elena Gilbert never knew her parents. Her father left and her mother fled after giving birth, leaving John's brother and sister in law--Grayson and Miranda--to adopt the baby. It was easy to arrange since Grayson had delivered Elena before Isobel disappeared. The Gilberts were trying so hard to have a baby but it wasnt happening, so everythin fell in perfectly. Two years later, Miranda and Grayson had their real son, Jeremy Gilbert; Elena's cousin and adopted brother.

Elena and Jeremy had very nurturing childhoods. Their mother and father were good to them and tried to give them the best chance they could at life. Elena had a good relationship with her brother and easily made friends with Caroline, Bonnie and Matt, her closest friends. However, in 2009 on May 23, when Elena was driving with her parents, the Gilberts' car unexpectedly crashed into a river near Wickery Bridge. Stefan Salvatore had arrived at the scene and saved Elena's life after Grayson begged him to take care of her before helping him and her mother. Fortunately, Elena survived the accident--ending up in the hospital--but her parents died.

After the accident, Elena and Jeremy went to live with their aunt Jenna. After the death of her parents, Elena broke up with her childhood best friend, first love and boyfriend, Matt Donovan. She made an attempt to start over and learn how to cope with the tragic loss and start to regain some of her happiness again. When the school year started, she met Stefan Salvatore and was immediately and undeniably drawn, intrigued and attracted to him. Meeting him immediately brought things back to normal for Elena again.

Shortly after meetin Stefan, she started to bond with him, though she was upset that he was hiding things from her. Somewhere around that time she met Damon. Eventually, she discovered that Stefan and Damon were vampires, causing her to become hostile towards both of them, until they gained her trust again. However, when Damon turned Matts sister into a vampire, she attempted to convince both Matts sister and her brother to stay away from each other, only to be threatened by the girl and reprimanded by her brother.

A lot of things happened that year. Later, during the school's Halloween party, Vicki was killed by Stefan when she lost control. It took a very extreme toll on both Elena and Jeremy. As a result, Elena had to ask Damon to wipe Jeremy's memory of Vicki's death, making him believe she had left town and was not coming back. She and Jenna noticed that, as a result of the mind wipe, Jeremy had also stopped doing drugs.

Not long after, Elena met Stefans best friend; a vampire named Lexi. But at this point, she'd also found out about Katherine and the tomb of vampires. Eventually, Elena was forced to witness the death of Lexi at the hands of Damon, and of the destruction of Bonnie's talisman in order to prevent Damon from freeing the vampires in the tomb. After that, she told Bonnie everything. Unfortunately, they couldnt stop fate, and the tomb was inevitably opened, releasing all the vampires.

After the tomb was opened, Elena had to help Damon save Stefan from group of vampires that had been torturing him, but she'd had to give Stefan her blood so he could survive. That resulted in him becoming quite literally addicted to human blood and stealing human blood from a blood bank behind Elena's back. When Damon finally told her what Stefan was doing, she and Stefan got into a fight and he attacked a girl in the competition for "Miss Mystic Falls", almost killing her. Elena and Damon were forced to lock him into a basement to try and get him back to normal.

Elena's problems werent really over then though... When Bonnie's grandma died and Bonnie herself left town for a while, she came back after a time and started blaming Damon and Stefan for her grandmothers death. She was angry with Elena and though Elena tried to fix things with her, Bonnie told her to just leave her alone. It wasnt long after that that she found out about her real parents. Isobel had come back to town, as a vampire and John Gilbert wanted a thing called the Device. At that time, Elena and Bonnie repaired their friendship and pretended to unspell the Device, though it ended up being activated on Founders Day by her father, John Gilbert. But that night, John was murdered by Katherine. Elena stumbled upon the body in her own kitchen.

A few months later, Elena was kidnapped by a vampire named Rose who wanted herself and her friend Trevor to be free. She learned that she had to die to break the curse of the moon stone and Elijah--a very powerful vampire and one of the Originals--heard Elena talking about it. He tried to compel her but failed to do so because of the vervain necklace she wore. When he tried to rip the necklace from her throat to compel her, she's saved by Stefan and Damon and was brought home. The same night, Damon came to give her necklace back and before returning it told her he loved her and then compelled her to forget it.

Later on, she meets Klaus, who tries to use her for a sacrifice of sorts. But when she arrives with him at the site of the sacrifice, she finds that he made changes to it and that her aunt Jenna was being used as the vampire, having been turned by Klaus. He ends up killing Jenna before anyone can save her. And then went after Elena and killed her. Before anyone can stop him, he disappears with Elijah. Elena woke up as a human because Bonnie and John had found a spell that would return her to life as a human by binding a parents life force to hers. John dies when she's brought back though. Before Johns funeral, Jeremy gave her a letter from JOhn and his ring.

Things only seemed to be getting harder for her though. It isnt long before Elena was forced to confront her feelings for Damon after she finds out he's dying. The two confessed their feelings to each other and the two of them kiss. Shortly afterward, Katherine showed up with the cure and told them that Stefan traded himself for it and they were probably never going to see him again.

After all that happened, she moved in with her step-father, Alaric Saltzman and begins training as a vampire hunter of sorts. She found out that Stefan was under Klaus' control and with Damons help tried to get him back. But her feelings only grew stronger and stronger for Damon and she felt as though she would have to let Stefan go if they didnt succeed, thouh she'd do it willingly if it came down to that. Eventually, they came up with a plan to free Mikael--a very powerful Original vampire, the father of Rebekah and Klaus--because he was the only one who could kill Klaus.

Now, they're just trying to figure a plan out to get rid of Klaus once and for all. Elena's gotten a job at a new restaurant as a waitress. She's continuing her training with Alaric, Katherine and Damon. And she's still trying to free Stefan from Klaus' control, but she's not convinced she can do it.

Elena sighed in frustration. She'd been doing the same training exercises for hours now. Alaric had left her to do what she wanted, giving her a list of exercises she could do if she continued her training. She'd been avoiding answering her cell phone for the last three hours, even when Damon had called her. She just wanted to be alone right now and not have to deal with anything outside of her training rituals.

Looking at the stuffed dummie that would be her practice vampire, she kept her eyes on the painted red target on its chest and gripped the stake in her hand, moving to drive it into its heart. But it didnt go through. Yelling in frustration, she threw the stake on the ground and sat down on a tree stump, "Stupid exercises... I'm not ready for this..." she mumbled, sighing. Maybe she wasnt ready. If the time came, she wouldnt be strong enough to stake Stefan if it needed to be done... God, she hated this.
