NovelsEdit

Elena is blonde in the books.

In the books, she is described as beautiful and a popular girl in high school with long golden hair and lapis lazuli blue eyes (so much like Katherine, Stefan actually mistakes her for Katherine in the first novel). There are repeated references as to her looking like an angel. Over the course of the series, Elena transforms from a shallow, self-centered "ice queen" to a more loving, open-minded person because of her love for Stefan. Elena is madly in love with Stefan Salvatore. Though she does recognize that she also has feelings forDamon, his brother. She dies several times, becoming from human to vampire (after she gets enough blood from both brothers), to spirit (after an unknown power brings her back). She is torn between both brothers and she doesn't know who to choose.
