The Vampire Diaries/Characters: Difference between revisions

* [[Action Survivor]]: Elena, while not really an [[Action Girl]] (she's far too likely to be a [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]), is pretty competent while trying to defend herself. For example, when a strange vampire is trying to kill her, she stabs him with pencils - repeatedly - and then breaks a mop over her knee to try to stake him, and when a werewolf attacks her, she instantly sticks a knife into his gut. She's also adept at using her surroundings while trying to run away if pursued by a supernatural.

* [[Distressed Damsel in Distress]]: Although not as often as you could expect, and often [[Justified Trope|justified]].

* [[Took a Level Inin Jerkass]]: Oh boy, also combined with [[Lack of Empathy]] due to Klaus compelling him to shut off his humanity.
