Early Life
Elena Gilbert was born on June 22, 1992 , to John Gilbert and a 16 year old teenage girl named Isobel Flemming, who fled after giving birth. Grayson andMiranda Gilbert, John's older brother and sister-in-law, adopted the baby. It was easy to arrange since Grayson delivered Elena and Isobel disappeared. The Gilberts were trying so hard to have a baby but it wasn't happening, so everything fell in perfectly. Elena later learned that she might be a distant relation to Katherine Pierce, the vampire that caused the feud between Stefan and Damon Salvatore back in 1864.
On May 23, 2009, when driving with her parents and Elena in the backseat of the vehicle, the Gilberts' car unexpectedly crashed into a river near Wickery Bridge . Elena somehow miraculously ended up in the hospital. It was later revealed, that Stefan arrived at the accident scene after hearing the unexpected and tragic event and he saved Elena's life after her father, Grayson, begged him to take care of her first before helping him and Elena's adoptive mother, Miranda. Fortunately, Elena survived the accident, but unfortunately, her adoptive parents died. It was later revealed that John Gilbert, her supposed adoptive uncle, was actually her biological father. It is said that it was Miranda who got Elena to start writing into a diary.
