Matt and Elena were driving in his truck, on their way back to
On May 23, 2009, Elena called her aunt Jenna Sommers, after getting in a fight with Matt while attending a party. When her parents came to get her, the three of them later end up in a car accident, with their car driving off a bridge due to the road being slick after a rain storm.
It is best known for being the site of the tragic deaths of Grayson and Miranda Gilbert when the slick roads caused them to inadvertently drive off the bridge and into the river below, where they both drowned. Their adopted daughter Elena was the only survivor of the accident.
Noah was a vampire who became obsessed with Elena, due to her resembling Katherine.
Stefan is later revealed to be her secret savior, having heard the Gilbert family's car go off the bridge and then saving Elena first at the insistence of her father. This is the first of many near-death experiences for Elena, and the one that gives her the survivor's guilt she carries throughout the entire series.
As to the reasoning behind the change in her appearance, fans suggest that Nina wanted to be seen as a more mature star -- so pursued some facial modifications.
Damon was horrified at what he had done though and this showed Elena's coffin burning to ashes, although it was fake. In This Woman's Work, Tyler reassures Damon that Elena is still alive, slumbering, and safe inside her coffin. This relieves Damon being he only burned an empty coffin several episodes before this one.
Damon explains that there was a huge storm in town that night/the night before, so that's why there was so much luggage packed in the Gilberts' car — they wanted to spend the weekend at their cabin to avoid it.
Alaric compelled Elena to forget all the good memories she had of Damon upon her request after Damon's death. Alaric is the one to inform Elena that Damon is back from the dead. Both Alaric and Elena became vampires in Season Three and human again in Season Six.
The death of vampire hunter Connor (Todd Williams) by Elena's (Nina Dobrev) hand was poetic. Not because he marked her very first kill, but his death stunted any movement of Stefan's (Paul Wesley) quest to find the cure, so she could be turned back into human form.
Miranda Sommers-Gilbert and Grayson Gilbert drowned, while their adoptive daughter, Elena Gilbert, survived thanks to Stefan Salvatore. The second car accident occured in October 3, 2010.
She met a vampire, Damon Salvatore, who turned her into a vampire at her request. After being compelled by Klaus, she committed suicide by walking into the sun while her daughter Elena watched.
Also, in the books, Elena and Katherine were half sisters due to having the same mother (though Katherine suspected Elena was a possible descendant), but in the TV series, they are related by blood and Elena is her descendant.
In Stand By Me, Damon has Elena turn off her emotions because she couldn't deal with her brother Jeremy's death. It's revealed in Bring It On that this broke the sire bond between him and Elena.
After investigating, it turned out that their sire bond was forged after Elena died with Damon's blood in her system, which transformed her into a vampire (season 3, episode 22, "The Departed"). The sire bond can only be made when the human-turned-vampire loves their maker too.
Damon turned Isobel into a vampire, and Isobel then came back to Mystic Falls, and threatened the girl he was in love with, who also happened to be her daughter, Elena Gilbert.
Although Damon professed to be in love with Elena, his actions toward her were anything but selfless; he subjected her to torment by attacking her friends, slaying her younger brother, and attempting to force himself on her even after she declared her undying love for Stefan.
He was no longer an Original while he was across the barrier, therefore he died as a mortal so it didn't effect the compulsion.
Damon was a 178-year-old vampire and distant descendant of Silas. Since his younger brother, Stefan Salvatore, injected him with the Cure, he is now human.
Played by. This article is about Stefanie Salvatore, the daughter of Damon and Elena. You may be looking for Stefan Salvatore, Stefanie's late paternal uncle and namesake. Stefanie Rose Salvatore is a recurring character on Legacies and a former guest starring character on The Originals.
She absolutely did, in 4x08 after Elena sleeps with Damon. Caroline is concerned because Damon absurd her by force and since she knows Elena's sired she thinks Elena is being abused too.
Stefanie Salvatore is the heretic daughter of Damon Salvatore and Elena Gilbert, as well the younger twin sister of Stefan Salvatore. She is a witch from the Salvatore bloodline and a vampire, she gets her vampire side from both of her parents.
So as long as Bonnie is alive, Elena can't be, which means that Elena went into a 60-plus year sleep in order to allow her best friend to attempt to find happiness. And with that, each member of Elena's life got a chance to say goodbye. It was nostalgic. It was heartbreaking.
Here's how it went down: Kai — who killed himself with Lily's blood in his system, thus becoming a heretic — put a spell on Elena, linking her to Bonnie; as long as Bonnie lived, Elena would remain in a sleep-like trance.
