In the first season, it seems like Bonnie is going to be firmly slated in the "best friend" category. But by the fourth season when she begins practicing dark magic, we are pleased to see that she is given a spectacular arc of her own. Previously dressed down in simple thermals and jeans with flawlessly straightened hair, Bonnie tends blend into the background. But by the fourth season, rocking her natural hair and a much darker aesthetic, it's nice to see she has a sassy personality of her own.

Ah, good ol Matt Donovan. He keeps The Vampire Diaries as human and as grounded as one can.

This is a scene from The Vampire Diaries episode "She's Come Undone." Can the brothers bring Elena's humanity back?

This looks like it hurts. But Damon and Stefan are desperate to bring back the old Elena.

This is hurting them as much as it's hurting you, Elena. But Damon and Stefan just want the old you back.

Damon is trying to fix Elena in this Vampire Diaries scene. But she may not want to be fixed.
