Elena Gilbert
Elena Gilbert is a fictional character and protagonist from The Vampire Diaries (novel series). In The Vampire Diaries set in the fictional town of Mystic Falls, she is portrayed by Nina Dobrev. In the books, Elena was blonde, popular, selfish and a "mean girl". However the show's producers, Julie Plec and Kevin Williamson, felt that it wasn't the right direction they wanted to go with their heroine in ''The Vampire Diaries'' television series. Instead, her "dark side" didn't exist, and she was nice, relatable and "the girl next door".〔
Much of Elena's story revolves around her relationships with vampires Stefan Salvatore and his older brother, Damon. It is revealed that Elena is a Petrova Doppelgänger, which is thus responsible for her being identical to her ancestor, Katherine Pierce (née Katerina Petrova). This also has the implication of making her a supernatural creature. Dobrev portrayed the "conniving" Katherine as well, who is opposite of Elena. The actress stated that it has been a challenge distinguishing the two, and enjoys playing them both. In the television series's fourth season, Elena becomes a vampire and deals with the struggles that come with her change. She took the cure and became human again towards the end of the sixth season. In the finale of the sixth season, Kai linked Elena to Bonnie's life by magic. Elena will only wake up when Bonnie dies. She is locked inside the Salvatore tomb till she is able to wake up again in the next 60 or more years.
==Casting and portrayal==
On March 9, 2009, it was announced that Bulgarian-born Canadian actress Nina Dobrev, known for her portrayal of Mia Jones on ''Degrassi: The Next Generation'', had joined the cast of ''The Vampire Diaries'' as Elena. She was the second cast member to be announced following Steven R. McQueen, who plays Elena's brother Jeremy Gilbert. Steve West Cinema Blend said "The vampires’ battle over Elena will wreak havoc on the entire town, which sounds like someone is trying to make this more appealing than it actually will be".〔 Executive producer Kevin Williamson recalled Dobrev auditioning while having the flu, which he described as the "worst audition ever", and they "didn't even look at her a second time". Dobrev went back home to Canada, miserable. Still wanting the part, she submitted a videotape audition, which allowed her to win the part.
Dobrev said that after reading the script, she was drawn to Elena because she was "this average girl who was damaged in many ways".〔 Initially, she believed that she would be playing the "bad girl" Elena from the books, but the show wanted to go in a different direction for the character.〔 After researching, Dobrev discovered she would also play Elena's 534-year-old vampire doppelganger Katherine Pierce whose characteristics are the "complete opposite".〔 Dobrev described this as "one of the rarest, coolest opportunities in television, to play two people on the same medium". She had confessed that she enjoys playing Katherine more than Elena. Dobrev stated that she changes her appearance to distinguish Elena from her doppelganger, Katherine; "Changing my hair helps me transform," she told ''Glamour''. Additionally, she said "I think I have one of the coolest characters on the show — I get to play two completely different people on opposite sides of the spectrum and I just have so much fun doing it".〔 Dobrev felt that her biggest challenge on ''The Vampire Diaries'' was distinguishing Katherine and Elena, and found it "interesting" to create a whole new character.〔 In the novels, Katherine originated from Germany. However, in the television series, she is born in Bulgaria, as Dobrev was born there and can speak the language. Dobrev said "The writers heard me speaking Bulgarian to my mom on the phone while I was on set one day. One thing led to the other and voila".
