CHARACTER INFORMATION
➤ CHARACTER NAME: Caroline Forbes
➤ SERIES: The Vampire Diaries
➤ CHARACTER AGE: 18
➤ REFERENCE: Wiki
➤ CANON POINT: End of season four
➤ SEXUALITY:

Heterosexual. It's canon that Caroline likes boys, she's one of the first people they show on the show having sex and it's with Damon, a guy. She dates and hooks up with Matt most of the first and second season as well as showing interest in Stefan. She's also in a long time relationship with Tyler and they are shown tangled in the sheets more than once. I'm sure she's kissed a girl once or twice but it's boys for her!

➤ PERSONALITY:

"Look, about Caroline, no matter what her flaws are, when push comes to shove, you're going to want that girl on your side."

-Stefan Salvatore

Like every teenage girl, Caroline comes with her issues; she can be petty, immature, insecure, and jealous. She gets wrapped up in things that don't really matter to most when there are 'bigger things' happening. Outwardly, she seems sweet, peppy, in control but of course, some of that, later on, appears to only be skin deep. Caroline has a bit of a competitive streak too, especially where Elena is concerned. It feels like, to her, that she tried so hard, and yet, Elena doesn't have to try at all and she gets everything while making it seem so effortless. She can be gossip sometimes and has an uncanny ability to find out information from any source and fast. Her 'Little Miss Innocent' act comes in handy because she's good at providing a distraction on demand despite being a terrible liar. She doesn't like being told she can't do something, if anyone doubts her, she strives to prove them wrong and she does it with a sweet sort of gusto, she said it herself perfectly, "Whenever anyone tells me I can't do something, I prove them wrong."

She knows how shallow she can be and she understands that this and her tendency to be a bitchy and controlling are two very serious flaws. She very much wants to change and work on her flaws; she wants to be "abyss deep" and her "kiddie pool" level frustrates her. She's also admitted that at times, "I'm a terrible, awful person-but I'm working on it". She starts taking baby steps towards the grand understanding that it's not all about her.

But over all, Caroline is a fierce and loyal friend. Despite the bitchiness and the shallowness, she can be just as kind and caring and sweet. She's protective of her friends and is willing to take on whatever comes that keeps them safe. She saved Matt from dying, therefore exposing her secret and herself as a vampire because she loved him and couldn't stand by and watch him die. But she also puts a lot of stock in other people's loyalty, she expects it in return. When Tyler didn't help her and the rest of the vampire gang against the werewolves, after she helped him (which is risky considering a werewolf bite is deadly to a vampire) and kept his secret, Caroline told him they were done as friends, that their friendship was over.

"You prefer who you are now to the girl you once were. You like being strong, ageless, fearless."

-Klaus

After Caroline is turned into vampire, her personality and neurotic quirks seem to go haywire, which is standard vampire fare. To quote her from the show, "[N]ow I'm an insecure, neurotic control freak... on crack?" It's that control freak and her ability to stay true to her humanity that gives her unparalleled control as a vampire, that keeps her from giving into the urges, the need for blood. Caroline always tries to remain positive and strong despite the horrible things that happen to her (like being turned into a vampire, being rejected by people she loves for being a vampire, being kidnapped and tortured more than once.). She's quite confident in her vampire-ness and who she is now that she is a vampire. Even when her father tortures her for being a vampire, trying to torture the blood lust from her, she accepts that she cannot change, that she can't be changed but that she has a good grip on her need for blood.

Regardless, she struggles with the fact that she felt good killing the only and only person she killed, when she first turned, which is part of her motivation to try to stay normal, to do normal teenage girl things. She worries about making the most of her senior year, she wants to do all the ceremonial, traditional things, she wants to make her life as normal as she possibly can. She sees it as a distraction for herself and her friends, so she hyper focuses on dances and town events, wanting them to be perfect, to go perfectly (but we all know people mostly die at dances in Mystic Falls). Although at times, she seems to be a tad more mellow, it's become easier for her to take more things in stride, sometimes.

➤ POWERS:

As a vampire, Caroline gets the usual perks of living forever and never aging, she heals faster too. She's got super human strength, speed, and heightened senses. She's got the ability to control someone, remember certain things or forget them entirely (aka compelling). Because Caroline is a new vampire and drinks animal blood, her ability to compel (as well as her physical strength) is less effective than older, stronger vampires.

The only way to kill in the TVD-verse vampire is sunlight, a werewolf bite, fire, or a stake through the heart. Anything involving wood or the herb vervain is extremely painful and debilitating for a vampire. Caroline has a ring made by her best friend Bonnie, who is a witch, that allows her to go out in sunlight, but very few vampires have this thus helping her hide the fact that she is a vampire.

➤ SUITABILITY:

She's of age, sexually active, and a supernatural 'creature', this qualifies her to be 'okay' with these sort of things. But she's also been kidnapped a lot of times, she's good at rolling with punches especially in new situations.
