Elena looks like an angel. She is beautiful, slender and pale, with long blonde hair "a few shades lighter then the sun" and blue eyes "the color of lapis lazuli's". Her parents died when she was younger and she is raised by her Aunt Judith. Over the course of the series, Elena transforms from an 'ice queen' to a more open-minded person. Bonnie comments in Elena's diary when she first died that Elena was far from perfect and while she was never an angel, she died a good person. Elena breaks up with Matt Honeycutt around when school starts, feeling he has become more to her than one of her disposable boyfriends; she loves him like a friend or brother. Elena is good at leading and initiating action but can be overly aggressive. Elena is madly in love with Stefan Salvatore though she does recognize that she also has feelings for Damon, his brother. Stefan initially attempts to ignore Elena. He makes comparisons between her and former vampire girlfriend Katherine, though he realizes that beneath the looks they are very different people. Her school reputation is important to her, so she makes up a fake boyfriend to hide the fact Stefan has rejected her advances. She dies several times, changing from human to vampire (after she gets enough blood from both Salvator brothers, where her killer, Katherine, thought she only got blood from one boy) to spirit (after an unknown power brings her back).
