Where is katherine tvd

It's not in me It's reserved for my brother, and you, and Bonnie — even though she has a reason to hate me — still helped Stefan save me,'' he said. He knew Bonnie did it for Elena. And I wanted to thank you for that. It was the payoff for much sexual tension. See: Damon explaining why he hadn't used mind compulsion on Elena when she wasn't wearing her vervain necklace on a road trip ''I didn't compel you in Atlanta because we were having fun.

I wanted it to be real'' and Damon stepping in to dance with her at the Miss Mystic Falls pageant when Stefan was off the blood wagon. Elena's aunt Jenna, with whom she and Jeremy now live, interrupted the kiss and told Elena to come inside. Bad move, since that invitation went to Katherine We still thought it was Elena when she went into the kitchen and found Uncle John David Anders , who was suddenly superchatty now that Elena knew he was her real father.

He told her he'd loved Isobel, and part of the reason he hates all vampires is because of what she became. Maybe that's why he staked Jeremy's friend Anna when she begged for her life and he had agreed with Isobel when she said Damon and Stefan had to die or they'd bring Elena a lifetime of pain.

John offered to help Elena put away some knives — and she cut off the fingers on the hand he wore a magical ring like Alaric's. Yep, Damon had tried to kill Uncle John earlier in the season too, so we knew about it.

Goodbye, John,'' Katherine said and stabbed him in the stomach. Cue the real Elena walking up to the house on her cell phone, telling Stefan someone took her belongings at the school.

She entered the house, and as she yelled upstairs to check on Jeremy, she heard a noise in the kitchen. Will he die? It'd be poetic, since Stefan's father died after refusing to believe that any vampires could be good and launching an offensive against them.

He sensed that Stefan was sympathetic to a vampire — because Stefan had tried to reason with his dad against Damon's wishes — and slipped his son vervain, which revealed Katherine when she drank from him.

But in John's defense, he didn't turn on Elena when she wanted to save Damon. We know from previews that she says it's for Stefan. The good news: It turns Stefan into kind of a badass this season. He's not gonna sit by and be quiet about it. Rest assured it's not the Extreme Damon Makeover from villain to hero in one season. He still has a long way to go. Matt Zach Roerig is Elena's sweetheart of an ex-boyfriend who has a deadbeat cougar mother and a dead sibling Vicki was his sister. Caroline Candice Accola is Elena's frenemy who began season 1 as Damon's unknowing snack food, which is funny because her mother, Liz Marguerite MacIntyre , the town sheriff, now considers Damon a trusted member of the Council.

They're the unlikely couple who you root for because he makes her a better person. When we last saw them, Caroline had just collapsed after their classmate Tyler crashed while driving them home from the Founder's Day festivities when the device went off. Fingers crossed she survives. Will Matt ever find out that vampires exist? We spent most of season 1 intensely disliking Tyler Michael Trevino because of his anger issues.

He was abusive to both Vicki and Jeremy as they fought over her. Plus, he made out with Matt's mom. But you had to feel for the kid when you found out his father, Mayor Lockwood, was a total douche who'd been known to get physical with him.

We didn't grieve for the mayor when he bit it on Founder's Day. And we won't now that we've seen Tyler's sexy uncle Mason Taylor Kinney , who comes to town for the funeral and stays to slowly reveal the meaning and scope of the family's anger and pretty full-moon eyes How could he be alive for some years and have no idea that werewolves exist?

That's what he wants to know. Jenna Sara Canning fluttered in and out of season 1 as needed, flirting with Alaric when he was curious about Jeremy's ''crazy'' ancestor's journals that mentioned vampires, confirming that Elena was adopted, falling back on her party-girl ways when it was time for Damon to meet Matt's mom technically, he was older than her.

But Plec assures viewers that Jenna will get some action this season. We look forward to your shirtless scenes, Matt Davis. Want more Vampire Diaries? Read our recap of the Season 2 premiere.

Pinterest Email Send Text Message. Who are Damon, Elena, and Stefan, the triangle at the center of the show? The Vampire Diaries What powers do the Salvatore brothers have? Like other bloodsuckers in the Vampire Diaries world, Stefan and. What powers do the Salvatore brothers have?

How did Stefan and Damon become vampires? Continued on next slide. She should know, her father was one. Then kills Gregor. Nadia looked slightly upset with her mother. Katherine hates running. She's done before and it's why she left behind a letter for Nadia explaining why she wanted to kill herself. Stefan saw it and saved Katherine from plummeting to death. She told him she was dying of old age, that the cure had somehow sped up the process.

He told her this wasn't the way. Not for the Katherine Pierce. And then he walked away and she smiled. In The Cell , Stefan was keeping a close eye on Katherine after the suicide attempt.

She was writing in a diary at his request because he's worried she will try to kill herself again. Stefan didn't want to talk about it, but Katherine had already invited Caroline over to help. Katherine tells Caroline that the therapy that she found in a textbook didn't work. Stefan was still freaking out and Katherine was questioning whether or not Caroline and Stefan had ever hooked up, Caroline answer that they are just friend and Katherine say that her loss because he's great in bed.

Katherine pointed out that Stefan is the hero of the story and it can't be himself that he needs to save. Her solution was to get into the safe with Stefan. He pointed out it was dangerous and she reminded him that she was dying anyway so it didn't matter if he ate her. Stefan started freaking out and getting upset and Katherine continued to talk him. She suggested that what he was really upset about was Damon and Elena and that he wanted to run away and never come back, but he kept finding excuses not to.

She believes his trauma is because he'd rather experience the physical pain than the emotional pain. To further prove her point, Katherine exposed her neck to Stefan. He got his vampire face on, but her words were getting through to him. They kept getting closer and it seemed like they were going to kiss and that was when Caroline felt the need to open the box because she thought it was too quiet. Stefan is alone in the room and Katherine goes to see what he's up to.

She helps him straighten up. Stefan tells her that she was right he does need to move on. They kind of drift towards each other.

Katherine caresses his chest and then Stefan kisses her. She leans over to cuddle when she notices gray hairs on the bed. She frantically covers herself with a sheet and leaves the room as Stefan looks on amused. In the woods, Matt is helping Katherine to stay in shape. After some playful banter, Katherine worries when she can't hear what Matt is saying. Nadia arrives with the suicide note that Stefan gave to her.

Nadia then slaps Katherine across the face and says that's for trying to "leave" without saying goodbye. In the Salvatore kitchen, Katherine ask Nadia if she's worthy of forgiveness. Nadia thinks that she is worthy and has been thinking about a plan to keep her mother alive. Nadia suggests that Katherine try spirit possession.

Since Katherine's father was a witch from the coven of the Traveler then technically Katherine is a Traveler witch too, meaning that she could use the spell to live in someone else's body. After Katherine says that Stefan prefers her in her current body, Nadia realizes that Katherine's question about forgiveness was in regards to Stefan and not her.

Nadia angrily tells her mother to kill herself and see if anybody misses her. Later, Katherine is looking at herself in the mirror when Stefan appears. She brings up their night of passion but Stefan says they got swept up in the moment and he can't just forget the last years. Katherine asks what she has to do to get redemption and Stefan says one night isn't enough to erase her history. Katherine responds that either one night or an eternity and he still won't look at her like he looks at Elena.

As Katherine begins to leave, Stefan stops her and clutches her hand. He says that he's sorry that she's dying and she replies that she is too.

Katherine calls Nadia and wants her to resume the plan of switching bodies. As they're talking, Katherine begins to have chest pains and doesn't answer Nadia back. As Nadia calls at her, she suffers a heart attack and falls down the stairs.

In Years of Solitude , Katherine is dying. She recells a memory. In Bulgaria, a pregnant, human Katherine is having the contractions of childbirth.

The baby is born, and Katherine is told that it is a girl, and begs to see her baby as they take her away. Katherine's father tells her that the baby will be better for it, and Katherine cries on her mother's shoulder. Katherine cries because they won't let her even hold her baby. She attempts to get up and grab her baby from her father, but her mom stops her, and Katherine cries some more.

Stefan explains that the doctors think that Katherine had a heart attack. Nadia says that Katherine won't die of a heart attack. Stefan tells Nadia that Katherine is dying. He's compelled the doctors to let him take her home so she'll be comfortable. Upstairs, Katherine asks Stefan if they're talking about her. Stefan says that they're "reminiscing" trying to gloss it over a bit for her.

She says that she probably deserves it. While they're talking, she's looking at her hands and asks him if her hand looks wrinkled to him. He says it looks fine. Katherine tells him that if she "starts to sag. Anywhere," that he's to slit her carotid artery. Stefan accuses her of being vain, and she says that she'd rather go glamorous. Then, she's convinced that she sees an age spot on her hand, and Stefan tells her it isn't one and holds her hand.

Katherine asks Stefan why he's being nice to her. He says that since she's dying, he can "muster" some compassion for her. Katherine is not only dying but plagued by visions that have haunted her for her entire life. Her daughter gets ripped from her arms and Klaus murders her entire family. Damon returns to his more evil ways by trying to kill her and settling for taunting her psychically. Katherine is haunted by her past mistakes and it only gets worse as Damon manipulates her mind.

Jenna reminds Katherine of how Katherine compelled her to stab herself in the stomach, and Damon appears in her place and reminds Katherine of how he had to compel Jenna to believe that she has just walked into the knife. Then Uncle John is there, "Hello fingers.

Goodbye fingers. She reaches up to touch his face, and then it's Damon again. Damon tells her that no one is coming to say goodbye, because no one cares. Nadia has sneaked into the room behind him, snaps his neck, and says that she cares. Nadia, Mia, and Katherine are discussing the words to the spell that have to be spoken for Katherine to jump into Nadia's body.

Nadia wants her to repeat the spell, but Katherine won't. Finally, Katherine asks for a moment alone with her daughter. Katherine tells Nadia that letting her father take baby Nadia away from her is her biggest regret in life. She should have fought harder for her. She says that she spent the next years making sure that she didn't make that mistake again. She says she's had a long life and finally got to know her "daughter.

She wants her to live. Damon has regained consciousness on the floor, but he doesn't let on. His disbelief at this conversation is pretty evident on his face. Katherine says that she's made selfish decisions all her life, this is just another one. Nadia gets mad and says that she won't sit by Katherine's side just to watch her die and storms out. Katherine stabs herself with another does of sedative and her eyes close. Stefan sits down on the bed. Katherine says something about how these drugs she's on are "hard core.

Katherine says that she doesn't want to, because she wants to see him. He asks her if this is really the memory she wants to revisit. She says that it was the worst day of her life, and that Damon told her it was all her fault and that she deserves it.

She says that she thinks Damon was right, she doesn't even deserve to be loved. Stefan disagrees and asks her to open her mind to him. Stefan takes away all the blood and gore of the scene, and all the bodies and then leads her to a crib, with a crying baby in it.

We're led to believe that it's baby Nadia laying there. Stefan tells her that she's a year-old girl and none of this is her fault. The baby cries again, and Katherine goes to the crib.

There's a bright white light, and Katherine seems to go into it. Stefan says, aloud, "Goodbye, Katherine" and Elena walks in and asks if she's gone. Stefan tells her that not yet, but she won't open her eyes again. She dies for a second but refuses to go and literally makes her own heart beat again.

Elena is standing over her newly conscious body and gives Katherine her heartfelt and sweet forgiveness. Katherine convinces her, and the audience that she's ready to die. Then grabs Elena and does the traveler spell to steal her body.

The episode ends with Katherine impersonating Elena. She informs Nadia and they find her body and start ritual to make Elena's body hers but Elena breaks through and intervenes, hurting Mia who is casting the spell. Elena then runs off, but Katherine has changed the password so she can't call for help. Elena runs to Damon but is too late. As Elena didn't kill Mia she ends the spell and Katherine takes her body over. Katherine takes now permanent control over her body. Damon tries to fix thing between him and Elena, but as Katherine has control she breaks up with him.

Katherine decides to stay in Mystic Falls to win back Stefan. In No Exit , Katherine is first seen when she is studying with Stefan as she hopes to win him back as Elena. When Caroline visits Stefan and receives call from Tyler who informs Caroline that Nadia is compelling Matt, who is now missing, she starts to worry and calls Nadia, and tells her to kill Matt if he is danger to her secret.

When Stefan decides to go after Damon, she offers to go with him so she could spend more time alone with Stefan. When they stop to tank, she uses the opportunity to break his car and make herself dirty, so they could find a hotel and get the room and shower, while they are waiting for the car to be repaired. When Stefan is a getting shower, she answers Enzo's call who asks for their help, since he is trapped with Damon and hopes they could save them, before Damon kills him or he is forced to kill him.

Katherine doesn't rush to tell this information to Stefan and instead of it she focuses on seducing Stefan. They kiss, but Stefan breaks it and tells her that it is wrong, since she just broke up with Damon.

While Stefan leaves her alone she calls Nadia and asks who does she think Stefan loves more: Damon or Elena, and reveals to her that she hopes that if she gets Damon to feed on her it would leave Stefan no choice, but to kill him to save her. When They find Damon, she steps into the house and pretends that she loves him and then cuts herself in front on him, forcing him to fight his urge to feed on her because he loves her.

When Damon loses control and feeds on her she kicks the stake in front of Stefan and tells him that Damon is killing her, essentially asking him to kill Damon to save herself. Her plan backfires, when Stefan doesn't kill him, but cut's himself asking Damon to feed on him instead. Later she meets crusty Nadia, and tries to celebrate her good mood about her success with Stefan and her disappointment that Damon is still alive, but then she finds out that Nadia got bitten by Tyler and she is dying.

In Gone Girl , Katherine told Nadia she couldn't ask Klaus for his blood because he wouldn't help her anyway. Instead, she'd called Wes, who allegedly was willing to study Nadia's blood and create the antidote. He took some blood, and Katherine vowed to be a better mother, which meant saving her daughter's life. Caroline called Katherine and tried to get her to come help set up for a surprise birthday party for Bonnie but Katherine said she had to make arrangements for Aaron's funeral, which trumps a birthday.

Exhausted anchor Bonnie tried to get her to meet her for coffee, but Katherine said she was at the spa buying Bonnie a gift certificate for her birthday. Katherine wondered why they were being so clingy. She phoned Damon, who told her to come on over and talk about what happened at the farmhouse. Katherine knew Damon would never put Elena in that danger again, so they must know she's Katherine.

Katherine takes Nadia to the church and tells her that they will leave once she is better. When looking for Wes, she found him dead. She then got a call from Stefan, letting her know that he has Nadia. Katherine stormed in the Salvatore Boarding House and said she was there to see her daughter.

As Nadia took her last breaths, she said, "My mother's name is Katherine. I'm looking for her. Katherine told her she found her, she's right there. Nadia said her mother's a liar, a murderer, she manipulates, and she betrays, and she'd do anything to survive. Nadia just kept saying she's looking for her mother. Katherine wanted to show her what her life should have been like.

She said they had a little cottage. It was an ordinary summer day. Nadia had built a fort that she would show her mother in the morning. Katherine told her good night and to sleep well. And then Nadia died. As Katherine struggles with the realization that her daughter is gone for good, Nadia's ghost appears before them all and looks on with great sorrow as her mom utters the exact phrase she's always longed to hear. She seems ready to move on but also upset at the sight of her mom grieving. Suddenly, Katherine is left on her own and it's time to pay the piper.

She kisses her daughter goodbye, closes her eyes, and covers her body. Then she stands up resolutely and…tries to make a dash for it, unfortunately for her, Damon's on the other side, blocking the exit. Which one of you gets to kill the elusive Katherine Pierce once and for all? Katherine, annoyed that they're being cowards. She decides to have her fun while she can and gets the party started by dishing out something called a reality check: she changed all their lives for the better, whether they care to admit it or not.

Just as she confesses her affection for the younger Salvatore, Stefan stabs her with the Traveler knife. She collapses onto the floor, right next to daughter's body. Before going over to the Other Side, Katherine fills Bonnie in on yet another secret: she left Elena the worst parting gift ever. Apparently Katherine didn't like being forced to choose between running or spending time with her ailing daughter.

And what does Katherine hate more than anything else? The idea of cute and sweet little Elena winning. So while at Dr. Wes' decrepit lab, Katherine finds the syringe containing Nadia's blood sample and also a tape recorder in which Dr. Wes revealed that the werewolf toxin would be useful in making the vampire virus contagious, and freaking injects into Elena's body.

Katherine could care less about the repercussions of her actions. If she can't have Stefan, no one can. She flashes an haughty smile and decides it's time for her to head on over to the Other Side. She grabs hold of Bonnie's shoulders but nothing happens. Bonnie doesn't know what's going on either and why this particular journey has malfunctioned. Suddenly, a gust of wind extinguishes the candles in the church and the doors burst open. Howling air whips around the sacred site and some powerful, unseen force blasts Katherine backwards.

She claws desperately at the ground but it is to no avail. In We're Planning a June Wedding , Katherine's remains were seen and a dagger made from her bones was created with the purpose to kill her.

In I Was Feeling Epic , Katherine first appears under the guise of Elena, whom Damon and Stefan assume has just awoken from her long slumber due to the temporary death of Bonnie Bennett.

Unbeknownst to Damon and Stefan, Katherine's identity was revealed after an embrace with Damon. When confronted about the whereabouts of the real Elena, Katherine mockingly admitted that Elena is hidden and will burn to death upon the ring of the Maxwell Bell.

In return for this, Stefan stabbed Katherine, who temporarily died. After a couple of hours, Katherine returned from the dead and overheard the phone call between Stefan and Damon, in which Stefan revealed he had found Elena in Mystic Falls High School.

After Damon reveals the bone dagger he had forged, Katherine admitted that the dagger had the ability to send her to Hell , but not keep her there. Desperately, Damon asked Katherine what her price was for the safe return of Elena, however, Katherine retorted that she already had everything she wanted. After finalizing a plan to destroy hell, with the help of Bonnie and Vicki , Damon returned to the tombs to confront Katherine, who assumed that Damon was bluffing, and would not actually carry out the plan.

In her early life, Katherine was a young and beautiful girl who was punished by her family for having a child out of wedlock. Initially named Katerina, she had loved her daughter very much and was heartbroken as she was taken from her and she never even got to held her.

After she was banished from Bulgaria, she relocated to England and seemed quite capable of making independent and intelligent choices. Katerina was characterized as a caring and polite person. She was quick to adapt to her relocation and enjoyed socializing and playing games with others. Katerina was also known to fall quick for men and yearned to be in the affections of others, even declaring to Elijah that life was not worth living if they did not believe in love.

Despite her banishment from Bulgaria and estrangement with her relatives, Katerina maintained affection for them and was particularly close to her mother. Despite her innocence and naivety, Katerina had a sense of self-preservation and immediately sought to protect herself against Klaus by stealing the moonstone and escaping the ritual that meant her death in the process.

She had sought out vampires , Rose and Trevor for assistance, but betrayed them by consciously deciding to become a vampire herself for survival and igniting Klaus's wrath upon them all.

She enlisted the help of Damon , but was momentarily sold out when Silas offered Stefan for Katherine. After that failed, Katherine was granted reluctant protection under Jeremy , Matt , and Damon from Silas.

Her transition to human left her weak, disheveled, and miserable as she struggled to get used to her vulnerability. Katherine's personality as a human is largely the same as when she was a vampire. She maintains her sassiness, insensitivity, independence, pride, selfishness, and sense of self-preservation. She had initially left Jeremy to die after a car crash while on the run from Silas and immediately accused Elena of being Katherine while held at gunpoint.

However, Katherine soon starts to show some signs of shifting away from her "psychotic bitch" demeanor. She willingly goes back to save Jeremy's life from Silas despite risking her own survival and agreed to help rid Matt of the passenger inside him named Gregor. Katherine also becomes slightly less hostile with certain members in the Mystic Falls gang, creating a strained but not entirely unfriendly alliance with Caroline , Matt, and Jeremy.

She seems to have a soft spot for them somewhere, shown in her decision to save Jeremy from Silas and most prominently her interactions with Caroline to get Wes Maxfield unsuspecting of her and Elena being vampires in return for using her college dorm for a few days. Katherine also helped Matt with his passenger and went to him to help her put off her death by exercises, though Matt still sticks to the belief "Katherine cares only for Katherine.

After she had turned, she immediately fled the only vampires she knew and apparently learned to survive as one on her own. The large gap of time from her transition to her arrival in Mystic Falls is a mystery, but she likely befriended Pearl during this time. In , she seduced both Damon and Stefan Salvatore , revealing to a compelled Stefan that she had big plans for the three of them to be together.

Although she did develop genuine affection for both brothers, and even love for Stefan, she was also calculating and selfish, selling out the other vampires in town in order to fake her own death. Her actions both in and demonstrate an extremely well-developed sense of self-preservation, almost always at the expense of any human compassion or remorse.

In present day, Katherine remains very much the same in this respect. In the process, she manipulates and seduces Mason Lockwood to have him do her bidding, orchestrates the activation of both Mason 's and Tyler 's werewolf gene, turns Caroline into a vampire, compels Jenna to stab herself, lures Jenna out of her house to be sacrificed in Klaus' ritual, and leaves behind her a trail of other casualties, all in the name of securing her freedom. However, she redeems herself to the Salvatores, if only slightly, first by delivering the antidote to Damon's werewolf bite and later by helping in the plan to kill Mikael.

Despite her ruthlessness, it is clear that Katherine has deep, genuine feelings for Stefan. Unable to reveal herself to him without ruining the usefulness of being dead, she still observed him from afar over the years, admitting as much to Stefan in the present day. In fact, Katherine is usually at her most honest about her true feelings when she believes she is unobserved, as when she kissed an unconscious Stefan before leaving Mystic Falls, and when she looked on at him in the s speakeasy.

Her relationships with other characters also sometimes reveal a crack in the "psychotic bitch" facade. Although she claims to his face that she never loved him, Damon still holds some of her affection, and she has offered him genuine help more than once. In fact she freely admitted an admiration for her descendant's tenacity, a quality she values in herself.

And despite fearing Elijah nearly as much as Klaus because of her escape centuries earlier, she has since become his ally, and even seems to genuinely care about and possibly love him. Katherine's extremely heightened sense of self-preservation has helped her develop a knack for creating elaborate plans and deceptions. Even when she takes a risk, which must be well worth it, she proceeds with caution and a means of escape in place.

Thus, despite whatever feelings she has for Stefan, Damon, and now Elijah, it cannot be certain whether she would save their lives over her own, though the evidence so far suggests Katherine could not help but choose her own survival above all else.

Moments before her death, she took advantage of Elena and possessed her because of her traveler heritage. In Elena's body, she tried to keep it a secret and one of the first things she did was break up with Damon. Katherine first tricked Matt into thinking she was her, and got information from him to know more about Elena's life, compelling him to forget that she is in Elena's body.

She pulls it off for a while, hiding from Elena's friends most of the time, but eventually everybody finds out, even though she had the help of her daughter, Nadia, who was also trying to keep it a secret. Stefan called her to the Salvatore house, and Katherine accepted her death in the end, but before she is finally gone revealed that she injected Elena with the ripper compound. Based on what has been shown in the series, Katherine has no regard for human life.

To her, humans are a means to an end, whether as victims to feed on or pawns in a plot for personal gain. The notable exceptions to this general disregard are Stefan and Damon Salvatore. In , Katherine took sadistic pleasure in demonstrating to a human Damon how a vampire lures in a victim by playing the role of a lost woman in order to stop a coach on a deserted road, anticipating the concern this would draw from its passengers.

She fed on and killed her victims without any apparent remorse. In the present day, though she has shown no qualms about harming humans, her violence towards them is usually attended by a vague sense of purpose: she chops off John Gilbert 's fingers and stabs him as she infiltrates the Gilbert home ; she turns Caroline into a vampire as part of her plan to plead amnesty with Klaus; she maims and kills Aimee Bradley to emphasize how badly she wants the moonstone and compels Matt and Sarah to provoke Tyler into killing them; she knocks out Jeremy to use him to get to Mikael ; she kills cemetery visitors in order to feed and awaken Mikael; and she kills various people on the island in order to get to the cure.

The only humans that Katherine, as a vampire, has seemed to not view as mere collateral damage were Damon and Stefan, whom she lived with in Although her relationships with both brothers seem to have had a certain amount of manipulation and scheming involved, Katherine demonstrated both before and immediately after Stefan's transition-death that she genuinely cared for him.

Her relationship with Damon does not appear to have had the same depth of such feelings, but she cared enough about him to want to turn him into a vampire. Still, her behavior around the Salvatores was so wrapped up in whatever her ulterior motives happened to be that it's not always clear where the selfish manipulation ended and the genuine affection began.

Katherine's attitude toward vampires does not diverge far from her attitude toward humans; she merely has to be more clever in how she manipulates them. She was willing to sell out those she considers friends, like Pearl and the other vampires in Mystic Falls at the time.

She regards werewolves to be little better than humans: she only deals with George Lockwood in order to procure her escape from Mystic Falls in , and uses Mason Lockwood and Tyler Lockwood in her plan to strike a deal with Klaus.

She deals with witches with a bit more wariness, though her arrogance sometimes gets the better of her. Although she apparently lived with Emily Bennett for years and treated her as a confidante, she betrayed her during her escape from the town.

Later, Lucy helps Katherine to repay a debt, but Katherine underestimates the witch's willingness to turn against her after the debt is paid. Like most vampires in the series, Katherine's attitude towards the lives of others has been significantly influenced by the end of her human life and how her vampirism affected her family. She suffered the heartache of being separated from her illegitimate daughter and disowned by her family, and not long after suffered the despair of finding her entire family dead, brutally murdered by Klaus.

Any trace of the human girl who still believed in love seemed to evaporate after this last great loss, though it peeks through occasionally when it comes to Stefan. Overall, Katherine has no respect for anyone's life but her own, and will not spare a life unless it suits her interests to do so.

Although she has risked her life in the past to save Damon and Stefan, doing so was in the context of repaying a debt and killing Klaus, it remains untested whether her affection for the brothers could ever truly transcend her sense of self-preservation. Katherine had once been running from Klaus , whom she feared for his power. She has always proven to be much stronger than most vampires in the series except for the Originals.

She also is able to manipulate certain vampires very well. As such, Katherine was an extraordinarily beautiful and seductive young woman: she had a heart-shaped face with fine bone structure, a wealth of brown curly hair, and almond-shaped, deep brown eyes with thick dark lashes. Katherine and Elena are remarked to be identical, but once you know what to look for, you can distinguish the two easily. Katherine's hair seemed to be a shade darker than Elena's, and she parted it on the left, while Elena parts hers in a deep part on the right.

Elena seems to have naturally wavy hair, while Katherine's hair naturally had loose or tight curls. Katherine wore make-up very differently than Elena; Katherine favored a dark smoky eye with thick winged eyeliner, and her choice in lipstick was a darker, sultry pink appearance, while Elena preferred a bronze smoky eye and thin eyeliner. Katherine, having much curlier hair, seemed to have a much greater volume than Elena's, especially when Elena wore her hair stick-straight.

There are even more subtle differences that only a true fan of Katherine or Elena can detect. Katherine's irises seemed to be a shade darker than Elena's, and Katherine seemed to squint slightly, while Elena's eyes are wide open, reminiscent of doe-eyes. Katherine was also incredibly theatrical in her movement, exaggerating almost everything as though she had rehearsed any given situation over and over again. Katherine's choice in clothes was drastically different than Elena's.

Katherine was often seen wearing either leggings or dark super-skinny jeans to show off her fit figure, along with either blue, purple, or black tank tops. She would almost always wear a black leather jacket over her clothes, either cropped, full length, buttoned or with a zipper.

An obvious way to distinguish Katherine's style from Elena's is by looking at Katherine's shoes. Katherine was always seen in black high heeled booties, open-toed pumps, or tall, black " dollar boots. In Season 5, she was seen to care less about her appearance, but was still seen in cute, fashionable outfits. She was shown in dark grey J-Brand jeans, lower heeled boots than when she was a vampire, and either black camisoles or long-sleeved shirts with lace sleeves.

In Fifty Shades of Grayson , she was seen in sports gear, a baseball cap, and, during her final scene, a dark burgundy cardigan. When deducing where Katherine bought most of her clothes, she was quoted as saying that she bought most of her shoes in Paris.

The majority of her jeans are J-Brand, and almost the entirety of her tops were from Bebe. Whenever Katherine pretended to be Elena, she parted her hair in a deep right parting, and styled the front of her hair in loose curls and waves, leaving the back of her hair straight or slightly wavy. However, Katherine would choose clothes that Elena wouldn't wear, and the main distinguishing feature was usually her thick abundance of hair.

Katherine after being cured possessed all the standard powers and abilities of a mortal Witch. She then possessed little fighting ability and also possessed a weak form of Traveler magic, due to belonging to a cursed culture of witches. However, she was shown using her witchcraft only twice, in order to become a passenger in Elena's body, and to give her daughter a vision of what her life should have been like. It has also been mentioned by Caroline that Katherine was not an easy target as she was able to perceive sneak attacks before they happened as a result of the heightened survival instincts she developed after spending five centuries on the run from the Original Vampires.

Katherine was sent to hell after her death. In hell, she manipulated Arcadius and after his death she became the "queen of hell". As a spirit of hell she was immortal, though unlike Cade, when stabbed with a bone dagger she could only be sent to hell temporary. Katherine may have spent a bigger part of five centuries running away from Klaus but even when she was on the run, she still managed to find time for romance and took on lovers, most notably Damon and Stefan Salvatore.

But before she met them, she seemed quite infatuated with Klaus when the two first met. Klaus was able to be charming if he wanted to and Katherine was still much more naive and trusting back then. It's easy to imagine that she could have fallen for him only to be shocked when she realized that he wanted to kill her and not marry her. Klaus may have been attracted to Katherine as well but if he was, he didn't allow himself to let it show and focused on executing his plan, which included sacrificing Katherine in a ritual.

But there was another Mikaelson brother who genuinely loved Katherine and she seemed to have cared for him in return. Elijah was always more gentle than his brother and he tried to persuade Klaus to spare Katherine's life but to no avail. Katherine and Elijah briefly dated in the 21st century but they broke up when Elijah realized Katherine lied to him.

They had amazing chemistry together, though, and one has to wonder if they could have stayed together had Katherine told the truth. Even if Katherine didn't kill Elena before Elena became a vampire as well, she still could have easily done it even once Elena joined the ranks of the vampires. After all, Katherine had more than five hundred years on Elena and as such, she was much stronger. That's why it doesn't really make sense why she wasn't able to defeat Elena when the two women fought in the final episode of the fourth season.

Katherine had a clear advantage over Elena and she should have been able to finish her off before Elena could even get to the cure she decided to use against Katherine. In the first season, Damon believes that Katherine was trapped in the tomb and is determined to break her out, no matter what it takes since he's still in love with Katherine and has been since He has no idea that Katherine is actually out and about, happily doing whatever she wants In the final episode of the first season, Damon kisses Katherine but he thinks she's Elena.

Why wasn't he able to recognize her, though? Vampires have many different physiological signs than humans and Damon has strong enough senses to recognize the difference between a vampire and a human. Many fans of The Vampire Diaries loved Katherine despite, or maybe because of all the things she did and were upset when she died.
