Elena Gilbert was born in Mystic Falls, Virginia. During her high school years, she discovers that she was adopted, her real parents being her Uncle John Gilbert and Isobel Flemming. Her adoptive parents were killed after their car ran off Wickery Bridge and into the water, leaving her and little brother Jeremy to be raised by their aunt Jenna.
During her junior and senior years of high school, Elena meets and dates Stefan Salvatore, a vampire that used to live in the small Virginia town during the Civil War era. During this time, Elena also learns she's a doppelganger, and her “evil twin,” Katherine Pierce, is the one responsible for turning Stefan and his brother Damon into vampires. It's also during this time frame that Elena starts to follow in Katherine's footsteps and falls for both brothers, causing conflict for the trio.
Also during this time, Elena learns of the Original Vampires, sees her little brother become a vampire hunter, as well as seeing her friends either become vampires, werewolves, or witches. At the end of the third season, Elena and Matt Donovan are ran off the same bridge that Elena's parents died by Rebekah Mikaelson, and Elena dies. However, having Damon's blood in her system to help heal injuries she received after a run-in with Klaus, and wakes up a vampire.
Elena finds being a vampire is harder than expected, at first not being able to keep blood down unless it's from the actual human vein. It is soon discovered she has been sired to Damon, since it was his blood that turned her. During this time, Elena starts to get closer to Damon, and although many think its because of the sire-bond, Damon “frees” her, only for Elena to still want him. Once there is a rumor of a cure of vampirism, Elena and her friends (including Jeremy) go on a search for it, only for it to end with the death of her brother.
Once Jeremy dies, and having her emotions heightened, Elena shuts off her humanity. During this time she and Rebekah team up and go in search of Katherine, who apparently has a connection to the cure. By the end of Season 4, Elena has turned her humanity back on, and after a battle with Katherine, she ends up shoving the cure down her doppelganger's throat, turning her human. In season 5, Elena discovers that she and Stefan are wanted by Traveler's, who want their blood so they can settle down and expell other supernatural abilities around them. By the end, she and Damon blow themselves up at the Mystic Grill to send the traveler's back to the other side and so they can rescue Stefan, who had been killed by a traveler after learning his wife had died. In the end, Stefan and Elena return from the Dead, but is heartbroken when Damon doesn't make it back with them.

Elena was seething angry at Stefan for saving her. Well a part of her was happy to be alive as a human but a part of her was not happy that her friend was a vampire. Sighing and putting that thought behind her she walked to the grill. She glanced around and noticed Caroline sitting there in the bar section. She assumed that Care might have compelled the bartender as she sat drinking there. "Drinking alone?" She looked at her friend and asked with a smile. She knew that Klaus was dead and Alaric was missing but well there was nothing that Elena could do to mend the situation.
She sat down on the chair near her friend and said What has driven to drinking? She asked with a little laugh at what she had just said. She looked at her friend and hoped she could cheer her up. Well she was trying to distract herself from the thought that Stefan had ignored what she wanted and she was angry at him. Her thoughts went to back to the accident and a sigh escaped her lips. She tried to cover her emotions but well she wasn't good at hiding them.
<P> She put her hands on the table in front of her as she ordered herself a drink just to give her friend company and to drown her own sorrows-well-anger. She looked around and then her eyes fell to the fire in fireplace. She tried to transfer all her anger out by staring at the fire for a while. She snapped herself out of the anger cycle and looked at Caroline waiting for her to reply. She took a sip of the lemon cordial she had ordered. She put her glass down on the table and stared at the wall trying to think of ways to undo what Stefan had done and to her surprise she couldn't think of any. There was absolutely no way to undo what was done.
She wished that Stefan had listened to her and done what she wanted and not what he had done. Well she thought that she didn't want to think more about what he had done because the more she thought about it the more she got angry at him. It was time to move on from that thought and move to something else-maybe her friend who was sitting near her and her problems if she had any. She took another sip and looked at her friend waiting patiently with a smile laced on her face for her to reply.
