Bonnie Bennett
Played by Kat Graham
Love Interests: Jeremy Gilbert, Luka
Status: Alive
Power: Witch, Anchor of The Other Side
Best Friend(s): Elena Gilbert, Caroline Forbes
Bonnie died because she gave her life force to Jeremy which brought him back and killed her. She came back to life though when Tessa casted a spell that made Bonnie the anchor to The Other Side. Because of this, she lost her witch powers. But an unfortunate outcome of this miracle is that she feels every supernatural death that happens and the pain passes through her. Tessa informed her of this when she died.

Caroline was turned into a vampire by Katherine. Caroline got into a car accident when she was human and had to go to the hospital.

She didn't know she was turning into a vampire.

He did save Matt but when he came back, she was dead. When she woke up, she was a vampire and she was sired to Damon.

John Gilbert
Love Interests: Isobel Flemming
Status: Dead
Power: Human
Birth Father of Elena
Cause of Death: John was killed by Bonnie. Well, it was his choice to die. John spent his entire life protecting Elena from becoming a vampire. Because of a mistake Damon made earlier on in the day, she would become a vampire at the end of the spell that Klaus was performing. (The one that killed Jenna.) Elena is a doppleganger and she is the only ALIVE doppleganger. Klaus had to drink all of her blood to finish the spell. (Or so he thought.) Damon fed her his blood so when she died, she would become a vampire. John remembered a spell that was cast upon a mother and her child a long time ago. Her daughter was supposed to become a vampire but she didn't want her to so she had a witch cast a spell. John copied this action and had Bonnie cast a spell on him, giving Elena his life-force. When Elena was sacrificed, John's life ended.

Status: Dead
Power: Was a vampire, turned into a human by the cure, doppelganger
Mother of Nadia
Cause of Possible Death: Katherine was turned into a vampire by Rose. In the 14-1500's, Katherine fell in love with Klaus Mikaelson and Elijah Mikaelson. When she found out that Klaus was planning on using her as a sacrifice (The sacrifice that killed Jenna and John.) in a spell, she ran. One of Klaus' men, Trevor, found her when Klaus was looking for her. He told her to go to a cabin that belonged to an old woman. The old woman was letting Rose stay with her. (Compulsion, obviously.) Katerina listened to what Trevor told her to do and Rose let her in. Katerina tried to kill herself but Rose healed her with blood. Then Katherine quickly hung herself. When she woke up, she talked to Rose and Trevor, and then drank the old woman. That turned her into a vampire, and she ran. This, however, did not kill her. Katherine grew older, and in present time, she was around 500 years old, maybe 600. Elena shoved the cure down Katherine's throat and Katherine was turned into a human. Her years are catching up with her. She fell down the stairs when talking to her daughter, Nadia, and she may be dead.
