> - **Bonnie** to **Jeremy** in *The Birthday*

**Bonnie Sheila Bennett** is a very powerful witch and one of the main female characters of *The Vampire Diaries*. While she filled the role of counselor and confidante to all of her friends, Bonnie is a feisty, yet empathetic witch, who discovered her powers just in time to help out her family and friends. In the beginning, before Bonnie discovered her true heritage as a witch, Bonnie had described herself as a psychic.

She is best friends with Caroline Forbes, Elena Gilbert, Christine Meade, Matt Donovan, Damon Salvatore, and her boyfriend, Jeremy Gilbert. She has known Caroline, Elena, Tyler and Matt since childhood. She is also close friends with Stefan Salvatore and Tyler Lockwood.

Bonnie is noted for having many heroine tendencies. She is seen to be very compassionate, empathetic, helpful, very selfless (to the point of martyrdom) and self-sacrificing. Bonnie is repeatedly ready to sacrifice herself for her family and friends without any hesitation or without a second thought. As her powers have increased, Bonnie stepped up at every opportunity to trade her life for those of her friends. Luckily, when Bonnie was alive and well, her spell-casting abilities most definitely came in handy when the Originals came to Mystic Falls.

Bonnie is a member and the last surviving witch of the **Bennett Family**.

## Early History

Bonnie Sheila Bennett was born on February 5, 1993, to Rudy Hopkins and Abigail "Abby" Bennett in Mystic Falls, Virginia. She is the youngest and last known member of the Bennett family. Sometime when Bonnie was a young child, her mother had abandoned her, after taking down the Original Vampire, Mikael and losing all of her powers, in order to protect her best friend Miranda Sommers-Gilbert's adoptive daughter Elena, who is a Petrova doppelgänger needed to break Klaus' Hybrid curse. Because of her mother abandoning her and her father almost never being a part of her life, Bonnie experienced severe parental abandonment. It could be assumed that since her mother abandoned her, that it was her Grams that had raised Bonnie for most of her life. Even though it isn't implied, it appears that her father, Rudy, gave Bonnie Abby's maiden name "Bennett", although the reasons for this are unknown. During Bonnie's early childhood, Bonnie became best friends with both Caroline Forbes and Elena. When Bonnie was nine years old, she lost her favorite teddy, Ms. Cuddles. In regards to her personality, she is moral, passionate, opinionated, free-spirited, feisty, determined, defends her opinion fiercely and is unable to keep quiet about what she thinks is right. She is also extremely compassionate, kind, empathetic, caring, friendly, gregarious, and protective, especially of those she loves. Bonnie is also known to be a martyr; extremely self-sacrificing and selfless and she is always willing to put the needs of her family, friends and loved ones before herself. She will always go out of her way to protect the people she loves and help others in need without asking for anything in return. Bonnie is also shown to be a romantic, someone who finds comfort in love and romance, although at first, she is more focused on her identity as a witch and protecting her friends. Because of Bonnie's opinions about vampires and their way of living (due to the fact that vampires have to feed on humans and human blood for survival, thus increasing their chances of harming innocent people), this often makes her look like a prejudiced and judgmental person from time to time. However, Bonnie eventually comes to accept vampires and vampirism and even helps them and befriends them (as both her best friends Elena and Caroline are vampires), despite the fact that vampires and witches are known to be natural enemies.

In December 22, 2007, Bonnie is fifteen years old and a freshman at Mystic Falls High School and is also helping her town prepare for the Mystic Falls Tree Lighting Ceremony. Bonnie threw a snowball at Elena and also revealed that her father is taking her on a trip and that she'd miss Christmas with her friends, so Elena revealed that she was going to convince her parents to let Bonnie stay for the holidays as they've never spent a holiday apart from each other.

During the weeks approaching December 22, 2008, Bonnie is a sophomore at Mystic Falls High School.

Her maternal grandmother Sheila Bennett at one point tried to explain to Bonnie about her witch heritage, although Bonnie dismissed this because she thought that her grandmother was drunk and before the beginning of the series, she tried to explain to Bonnie about her witch heritage again (even though Bonnie said that she was psychic). Unseen, during the events of Season One and December 22, 2011, by this time Bonnie would have told Elena about her heritage. Bonnie and Elena watched Elizabeth Forbes' speech during the Tree Lighting Ceremony and also Bonnie and her friends did secret Santa and Stefan Salvatore gave Caroline a key-ring snow globe of Mystic Falls, which disappointed her and she also gave Bonnie a gift.

## Throughout The Vampire Diaries Series

* Season 2
* Season 3

In *Pilot*, as Bonnie began her junior year at Mystic Falls High School, she, along with every other girl in the school, fell under the charm of Stefan Salvatore; a new, handsome and mysterious student at school. Bonnie also revealed to Elena that she is a descendant of the Salem sorcerers, and that she and her grandmother are supposedly witches. As Bonnie continues to joke about her preternatural powers, during the Back to School Party, Bonnie inexplicably reads Elena's past.

In *Family Ties*, Bonnie and Caroline arrive at Mystic Grill. Bonnie is worried about Caroline seeing Damon but Caroline assures Bonnie that Damon is safe and that he just has lots of issues with his brother, Stefan. Bonnie encourages Caroline to give away the secret that Damon revealed to her about Stefan. Soon at the Ball Bonnie alone at a table notices a candle being blown out. She relights it just by staring at the candles, but instantly she blows it out. When Carol Lockwood complains about the unlit candles in the uncrowded room and the waiter goes to get the matches from the kitchen, Bonnie amazes herself by lighting one and the one lite candle lighting the unlit candles and the lights with her powers.

In *You're Undead To Me*, Bonnie is seen at Caroline's house on her bed. As she listens to her,she tries to light a candle. Caroline asks what she's doing with the candle. And Bonnie, as if she woke up from a sleep says "Nothing". Bonnie trying to light candle. She puts the candle down and takes The Bennett Talisman and asks what it is. Caroline explains that Damon was going to give it to her, Bonnie comments "It's ugly" right before Caroline snatches it. Then At school when Stefan comes up to Bonnie and Elena, Bonnie instantly flees saying "Hey you know, I gotta go, be somewhere right now". Afterwards Bonnie attends The Sexy Suds Car Wash. A man arrives with his car, hoping it will get washed, and Tiki comments that they can wash the car, but it will always be a "POS".

Bonnie, angered with Tiki's attitude, makes the hose run with her powers and Tiki gets wet in the process.Tiki later is in charge of the car wash and makes Bonnie sweep the pavement because it has the be dry. Bonnie in anger burns the pavement and the fire travels up along the water and along with the car is set alight, Stefan runs over to Bonnie and shakes her. Bonnie asks what happened and whether she did it or not. When Stefan says yes, Bonnie asks him not to tell anyone. Later, Bonnie arrives at Sheila's house. When Sheila opens the door, Bonnie is crying, and says that she doesn't know what's going on.

In *Haunted*, Bonnie learns more and more about witchcraft from her grandmother, Sheila. Sheila talks about the history and how serious witchcraft can be. Halloween is coming, and Caroline gives Bonnie a witch Halloween costume.

Bonnie finds The Bennett Talisman and asks if it's the one that Caroline got it from Damon. At the Halloween Party Bonnie is front of a cauldron filled with candies. Damon approaches to her, and asks her where Caroline is. In respond Bonnie warns him to stay away from her. Damon notices the Bennett Talisman Bonnie is wearing and asks where she got it from. He easily figures that Caroline gave it to her, notes that it's his and wants it back. Bonnie says that she's not going to give it, she says she's going to give it to Caroline, and if Caroline feels like giving it to Damon, he can have it. Damon tries to pull it off her neck, but the necklace burns his hand. Bonnie runs away and comes home as soon as possible. And tells Sheila everything. Sheila says that the necklace belonged to one of the most powerful witches in their family, and she shows Bonnie an old picture of a woman who is also wearing same the necklace: Emily Bennett. And also it is revealed that she is Bonnie's great-great-great-great-grandmother.

In *162 Candles*, Bonnie decides to pack up at her grandmother's and go home. Knowing that her father doesn't like her to be gone for long. Bonnie tries to give her grandmother, Sheila the necklace back but she says no and that it belongs to Bonnie. It is a talisman that has been passed down from generation to generation and it has found its way back to Bonnie. Bonnie decides her grandmother is right and leaves the necklace on, but just wishes it was a little bit prettier. Bonnie pays an early visit to Elena in her room. She apologizes to Elena for being an absentee friend these past few days. Feeling that she can trust Elena, Bonnie swears her to secrecy and shows some of the things her grandmother taught her. She rips open her feather pillow to Elena's surprise and proceeds to make the feathers fly up into the air. Elena is shocked but happy that Bonnie shared this with her. Back at the Mystic Grill, Caroline spots Bonnie and asks her about the necklace. Bonnie refuses to give it back. When Caroline reaches out to grab the necklace, she gets a shock from the necklace. Bonnie senses that it isn't actually Caroline who wants the necklace but Damon. She tells Caroline to have Damon asked for it back himself. Bonnie walks off, upset.

In *History Repeating*, Bonnie dreams of her ancestor, Emily asking Bonnie for help. She is scared when she wakes from what she thought was a dream and finds herself at the ruins of the old Fell's Church. She senses that her relative “Emily” keeps trying to tell her something and feels that the necklace has a lot to do with it. Later, at school once again and without luck again, Damon confronts Bonnie about the necklace. She still refuses to hand it over to him.

He tells her that he would not hurt her and in fact, he can help her get rid of Emily. Damon tells Bonnie that the next time she sees Emily, to tell her “a deals a deal”. Driving home from school, Bonnie tells Elena that she feels the necklace is causing all of this situation with Emily. Pulling off the road suddenly, Bonnie gets out and throws the necklace far into a deserted field. Elena is shocked but knows that it will make Bonnie feel more relieved. Elena invites Caroline and Bonnie to dinner so that they can try and be friends again. When Bonnie arrives, she tells Caroline that the “necklace” drama is all over and that she threw it in a field.

They decide to do manicures and Caroline goes into Bonnie's bag to get the kit out. Seeing the necklace in the bag, Caroline calls her a liar. Bonnie tries to convince her that she was telling the truth and that the necklace shouldn't be in there. Realizing that she over reacted, Caroline apologized to Bonnie. Suddenly, Caroline has the idea to have a séance to see what “Emily” wants from Bonnie. During the séance, the threesome start to get scared when a breeze blows through and the candles begin to flicker. The candles begin to flicker some more and Bonnie decides it's enough. She throws the Bennett Talisman down by the candles.

A moment later, the necklace is nowhere to be found. Once again, Bonnie and Elena believe that Caroline has taken it. Caroline convinces them that it was not her. Looking for the necklace, Bonnie, Caroline and Elena are about to give up. Soon, Bonnie is surprised to see the necklace laying on the bathroom floor. Bonnie enters the bathroom and suddenly the door shuts after her. Caroline and Elena rush over to help her but they can't seem to open the door. Finally after a struggle, the door opens and Bonnie appears calm and slightly different. Telling them she's fine, Bonnie walks away towards the door. Passing by the mirror, the reflection is not that of Bonnie but of Emily instead. Fearing for Bonnie, Elena yells for Bonnie not to leave. Noticing that Bonnie doesn't even hear her, Elena calls out “Emily” and immediately Bonnie stops. Bonnie/Emily tells Elena that she is going to destroy the necklace and that Damon will never get it back. Having had enough drama, Caroline decides to head on home.

Bonnie/Emily leaves and not knowing what to do, Elena calls Stefan. She tells him what's happened and that Bonnie/Emily is headed to Fell's Church. Overhearing this conversation, Damon rushes to the church.Once at the church, Damon sees Bonnie/Emily and demands that she honor her side of the bargain. Reaching out to grab the necklace, Damon is thrust back against a tree with a wooden stake in his side. Bonnie/Emily steps in a pentacle/pentagram on the ground and it begins to burn.

Luckily for Damon, Stefan shows up just in time to save him. Bonnie/Emily tells Stefan what Damon forgot to mention. Apparently, she would not just be releasing Katherine but she would be releasing the other 26 Vampires locked in there with her. Chanting a spell, Bonnie/Emily throws the necklace into the air and it explodes into a burst of sparks. Devastated and fangs bared, Damon rushes for Bonnie and attacks her. He bites her and nearly kills her. Not knowing any other way, Stefan opens his wrist to allow his blood to flow and had Bonnie drink from him. Immediately, her wounds started to heal. Watching on, Damon tells Stefan that Katherine never compelled him to love her. That they really loved each other. Not knowing what to do anymore, Damon tells Stefan that he will leave town.Seeing that Bonnie is fine, Elena tries to once again convince Stefan that she cares for him and that she wants to be with him. Making her even more upset, Stefan tells her that they can't be together and that he too must leave town. Later at the Gilbert House Elena explains Bonnie everything,from the existence of vampire to Stefan and Damon.

In *Bloodlines*, Stefan finds Bonnie at the school asks her to help him. Bonnie finally agrees to help him since it involves Elena and she wants to help her friend. The two go sit down and Stefan gives Bonnie Elena's necklace to hold and see if she can find out if Elena is okay or not. Bonnie tries but discovers that her powers are blocked. Feeling scared and not knowing what is going on, Bonnie rushes off to her grandmother's house. There, Bonnie begins to try and find the answer to why she's blocked in books. Sheila arrives at home and tells her that she won't find her answer in a book. She tells Bonnie that she must go to the place where she was scared and face it.

Bonnie heads out to the rubble of the old church and looks around. Soon, she senses that someone else might be there too. Calling out, Bonnie suddenly falls through the ground into a secret chamber. Bonnie tries but fails to get a signal on her phone down in the chamber. She begins to hear something and she puts her head to the wall and soon hears the voices on the other side. Suddenly Stefan is there and he tells her to close her eyes and flies with her to the outside. Opening her eyes, Bonnie is happy to see that it really was Stefan. Bonnie asks Stefan if the people are suffering down there. He tells her that they are no longer suffering and that only blood can bring them back. Seeing that she is scared, Stefan reassures her that it will never happen since Emily destroyed the crystal. Bonnie arrives home safe, happy to see Sheila.

In *Unpleasantville*, Bored with the dance, Bonnie and Caroline decide to go to the Mystic Grill. Proving to Caroline to go after what you want, Bonnie heads over to Ben to strike up a conversation. The two seem to hit it off and decide on going on a date.

In *Children of the Damned*, Ben and Bonnie seemed to be enjoying their date together but Bonnie decides to talk to Elena real fast. After a brief few words of encouragement from Elena Bonnie decides to go back out there to Ben and give him a big kiss. Suddenly, during the kiss, Bonnie gets a strange vibe and knows what he truly is. Recovering fast, she talks Ben into staying there longer but that she needs to use the ladies room. Approaching the bathroom, Bonnie is suddenly grabbed by Ben and take away.

In *Fool Me Once*, Bonnie was found laying by Elena in the bathtub where they got locked up. At the motel, Elena tries to help Bonnie wake up by using a cool towel. Finally Bonnie comes too and is shocked to see Elena there too. Elena explains to Bonnie that Anna wants Bonnie to use her powers to unlock the spell on the tomb. Anna makes arrangements to meet Stefan and tells Ben to use violence if necessary when dealing with Elena and Bonnie.

Once alone, Elena asks Ben for a glass of water. Just before Elena drinks it, Bonnie asks Elena for a sip. Elena hesitatingly gives her the water. Bonnie catches Ben off guard and throws the water at him. Bonnie lights his arm with magic where it's wet by the water.Ben panics and pats the fire off and just makes it in time to catch Elena before she escapes.Bonnie, who was by the door without a choice had to go back in.

He soon recovers but has a little more to deal with when Stefan kicks down the door. Stefan opens the curtains and tells the girls to leave..Back at her grandmother's house, Bonnie and her grandmother Sheila agree to help open the tomb. Thinking this will be the only way to get Damon to leave them all alone. Of course, they will need Damon to bring the Grimoire. Stefan doesn't think that Damon will ever agree to trust them again. Elena steps up and says that she thinks she can get him to.

Bonnie and her grandmother soon begin the ritual of chanting the spell. After a few moments, the tomb opens. Damon grabs Elena and takes her in as leverage. He knows that if he goes in there alone, they would close the tomb again. Anna also arrives to enter the tomb. Bonnie tries to stop her but her grandmother tells her to go on in. Her grandmother explains to Bonnie that the seal has not been broken and that any Vampires entering the tomb will not be allowed back out. Only humans will be allowed out.Bonnie tries to stop Stefan from entering the tomb knowing that he would not be able to come back out. He sees no other choice and proceeds inside to save Elena anyways.

Bonnie pleads with her grandmother to help break the seal. Sheila tells her that she may not be strong enough but with Bonnie's help, maybe it will work. They both proceed to chant the spell.Once outside, Elena turns around to see that Stefan is stuck on the inside due to the spell. Bonnie explains to her what happened and Elena realizes that Stefan risked his freedom to save her. Bonnie continues to chant in hopes of freeing Stefan.They only have a few minutes before it closes again so Elena runs back inside to find Damon and Stefan. Stefan is there trying to convince Damon to leave the tomb. Damon is upset because he knows now that Katherine was never in the tomb.Finally convincing them to leave, Elena, Stefan and Damon escape before the tomb is closed again.

Bonnie and her grandmother finally arrive home exhausted. Bonnie notices that her grandmother seems more than just exhausted. Not wanting to be fussed over, Sheila tells Bonnie she's fine and that she just wants to lie down. Elena soon arrives to check in on them. Bonnie enters her grandmothers room and notices she's not breathing. Racing to the bed, Bonnie begins to cry and tries to get her to wake up. Elena calls 911 but Bonnie knows that her grandmother is dead.

Lost in despair, Bonnie had temporarily left Mystic Falls. During her absence, Bonnie took her ancestor's Grimoire, in order to better herself in the arts of magic and witchcraft. Later during the season, Bonnie returned to Mystic Falls, with a newly distant relationship with Elena and Stefan. Finding Damon and Stefan responsible for Sheila's death, Bonnie has since then, grown a bitter hatred towards vampires.

In *Miss Mystic Falls*, Bonnie is back, and Elena is overjoyed to see her. Right away though, Elena notices that Bonnie is acting very distant and she does not know why. Outside of school, Elena asks Bonnie why she never took her calls while she was gone and Bonnie tells her that she just wasn't in the mood to talk. Of course when Caroline shows up and embraces Bonnie, Elena hears that Caroline had talked to Bonnie every day on the phone. Since Matt had to work, Bonnie steps in to be Caroline's partner.

Once again, Bonnie gives Elena the cold shoulder. Seeing this, Elena asks Bonnie if they could talk for a minute privately. Bonnie tells her that since the Vampires escaped from the tomb, it means that her grandmother died for nothing. She blames both Stefan and Damon for this. Bonnie tells her that she knows she can't expect Elena to take sides but as long as she's with Stefan, she can no longer be her friend. Later at the event Bonnie gives Stefan an aneurysm to stop him from hurting Amber.

In *Isobel*, Bonnie is seen sitting in the cafeteria with Caroline discussing about the Founder's Day Parade. Caroline says that everyone around is having a fight, which includes Bonnie and Elena. Bonnie, apologizing, refuses to talk about it. Afterwards when Elena is at the Grill, she sees Bonnie at the door. Bonnie sees that Elena is really upset and fights the urge to go to her. Deciding against it once she sees Stefan behind Elena. Bonnie turns around and leaves without saying a word. Later at the Gilbert House there is a knock on the door, Elena opens the door at home and is surprised to see Bonnie standing there. Seeing how upset she is, Bonnie embraces Elena. Elena fills her in with all that has happened.

Meeting back at school, Bonnie tells Elena that she has been reading Emily's spell book. She also tells her that Johnathan never actually invented these magical devices but that Emily had put spells on them so he thought he had.Bonnie informs her that the device Isobel wants is actually a weapon. It was meant to kill Vampires.At the Salvatore house, Damon, Stefan, Elena and Bonnie discuss how they can save Jeremy. Elena tells them that Bonnie can reverse the spell on the device and then they can hand over the device to Isobel. It would be useless now but Isobel would have no idea. Damon of course doesn't trust Bonnie.

Seeing they have no choice, Bonnie begins the chanting spell. After some flashes of the lights and the fire flickering, Bonnie tells them it has been done.Bonnie and Caroline are down at the Mystic Grill and Caroline is still trying to get Bonnie to tell her why she's upset with Elena. Bonnie finally tells Caroline that she did something really bad. Bonnie tells Caroline that she lied to Elena and told her she did something but she really didn't. Once Elena finds out, Bonnie tells Caroline that Elena will never forgive her.

In *Founder's Day*, the parade is underway and Bonnie sees Elena and Caroline on the Miss Mystic Falls float. Waving to them until Damon steps in and waves back at Elena. Telling him to go away, Bonnie walks off. Convincing her to listen to him, Damon wants to sincerely thank her for her help in undoing the spell on the device. Seeing he is truly thankful, Bonnie begins to have doubts about not actually doing just that.

Before Damon walks off, he tells her that he owes her one. At the back entrance to the basement, Stefan runs into Bonnie who warns him not to enter. He tells her that he needs to save his brother and doesn't listen to her warning and enters the burning building. Elena tries to also follow but Bonnie stops her. Bonnie begins to chant a spell that makes the flames low, long enough for Stefan to save Damon. Since then Damon and Stefan are alive thanks to her. After everything Stefan approaches Bonnie and tells her how thankful he is that she helped them. She tells him that she did it for Elena. Bonnie tells him that Damon needs to change his ways. She tells him that she knows who she is now and understands her powers. She warns him that if Damon spills one drop of innocent blood, she will kill him.

In *The Return*, a concerned Bonnie arrives at the Mystic Falls General Hospital, worried about Caroline's condition, after being involved in a fatal car crash. Later that afternoon, after convincing Damon into feeding Caroline his blood, Bonnie pays her respect to the Lockwood Family, after the tragic death of Tyler's father, Richard Lockwood. At the Lockwood's, Bonnie confronts Damon and tells him that if he makes one wrong move, she will take him out.

Proving her power, she uses her abilities and soon Damon is holding his head in pain. Bonnie walks away and bumps into Elena/Katherine to complain about Damon. Touching her arm, Bonnie soon realizes that it is Katherine and not Elena. Once alone, Bonnie calls Elena and verifies that Elena is not yet arrived. Turning around, Bonnie is confronted by Katherine. Using her abilities once again, Bonnie soon discovers that they don’t work on Katherine. Katherine reaches for Bonnie’s throat and begins to choke her. Using her powers, Bonnie has the doors to the party open. Once exposed, Katherine lets her go and walks away.

In *Brave New World*, as Bonnie makes preparations for the annual Carnival Fair, she is horrified to discover a newly undead Caroline. Ever since Bonnie becomes a little distant from Caroline. Blaming Damon for what has happened to Caroline, using her powers, Bonnie soon has Damon on the ground clutching his painful head. She than has a river of gasoline heading towards him. Elena watches on in horror as Bonnie sets the gas on fire. She screams for Bonnie to stop when she sees the fire reach Damon. Elena jumps over the fire and shakes Bonnie out of her trance. The fire stops and Damon is okay.

In *Bad Moon Rising*, at the Mystic Grill, Stefan asks Bonnie to help Caroline out and put a spell on another ring so Caroline could walk in the sun. At first, Bonnie refuses because she saw Caroline kill a man and is afraid she will do it again. Soon, Stefan convinces her to help out. Later, in Caroline’s room, Bonnie prepares to put a spell on the Lapis Lazuli ring. Caroline complains that the ring is ugly and Bonnie almost refuses to help again. Caroline keeps her mouth shut and Bonnie proceeds to place a spell on the ring.

In *Plan B*, at the Lockwood’s, everyone is volunteering to help set up for the Lockwood’s annual masquerade ball. Elena sees Bonnie and approaches her. Bonnie is upset that Elena has chosen to take Caroline’s side instead of hers. Bonnie is having a difficult time letting Caroline back into her since she is now a Vampire. Elena pulls Bonnie aside to talk more privately about exactly what’s been going on with Katherine and Caroline. Elena hopes that maybe now Bonnie can try and give Caroline another chance and be her friend. On his way to leave, Mason accidentally bumps into Bonnie.

Stefan immediately sees that Bonnie senses something. Questioning her, he finds out that she saw Mason kissing Elena. Stefan realizes that it was Katherine and not Elena Bonnie saw. Later, Stefan and Damon bring Bonnie off to the side to try and get her to help them with Mason. At first she refuses but finding out that it will in the end protect Elena, Bonnie agrees. A moment later, Bonnie tries to appear as though she is having trouble getting a table down from a truck so that Mason will come over to help.

Once Mason is next to her, Bonnie uses her abilities and soon Mason is grabbing his head in pain. Damon and Stefan step in to help put him into the truck and they drive off.Back at the Salvatore house, Bonnie reluctantly helps Damon tie up Mason. Bonnie begins to lay her hands on his head and try to read his thoughts. She soon discovers that the Moonstone is hidden in a well on the Lockwood property. On her way out, Bonnie bumps into Caroline. Not knowing what to say, Bonnie prepares to leave but seeing Caroline’s face, Bonnie decides to invite with her to look for the well.

In *Masquerade*, Bonnie shows up at the Salvatore house to help out with trapping and destroying Katherine. Bonnie also sees Alaric and Jeremy there and they all begin to plot out a plan to kill Katherine and rid Mystic Falls of her once and for all.Bonnie and Jeremy arrive at the Lockwood mansion and find an empty room to set up for the trap. Bonnie proceeds to put an isolation spell on the room. Once done, they both head out to the party. Walking around the party with Jeremy, Bonnie begins to have a strange feeling.

Not being able to shake it, she follows her senses and comes across Lucy. Bonnie asks Lucy if they know each other and Lucy tells her that she knows no one at the party and walks off. Outside, Elena is in severe pain and Bonnie decides she can help out by putting a spell on her that takes away the pain. Discovering that there is another Witch, Bonnie has Jeremy watch over Elena while she runs off to discover who it is.

Bonnie finally finds Lucy and confronts her about what she’s doing there. Lucy tells her that she owed Katherine and had to help her. Bonnie tries to convince Lucy to break the spell but Lucy tells her she can’t unless they hand over the moonstone. Grabbing her arms to stop her, Bonnie instantly feels a connection to Lucy. Sensing the same strange feeling, Lucy tells Bonnie that she can trust her. Bonnie hands over the moonstone. Before Lucy leaves the party, Bonnie stops her to try and figure out who she is. Lucy tells her that they are related and are cousins. Lucy thanks Bonnie for giving her a wake-up call and that she no longer wants to mess with Vampires. Bonnie tries to tell Lucy that she too doesn’t want to be in the middle of Vampire drama. Lucy tells Bonnie that she is a good witch and that in the middle is exactly where she belongs. In this episode Jeremy and Bonnie's relationship gets deeper.

In *Rose*, Stefan approaches Bonnie about trying to remove the curse on the tomb so that they can get Katherine’s help. Bonnie tells Stefan that there is no way she could do it. Bonnie does however have another idea that might work. Using Alaric’s empty classroom, Bonnie uses a drop of Jeremy’s blood, Bonnie begins the spell and soon she has the exact location where Elena is. Bonnie nose begins to bleed but she tries to hide it. After Stefan and Damon take off to find Elena, Bonnie and Jeremy wait together in his room.

Feeling helpless, Bonnie remembers a spell she learned that might help Elena. Asking Jeremy for a hair from Elena’s hair brush, Bonnie begins another spell. She begins by writing a message on a piece of paper and proceeds with the spell. After a moment, Jeremy starts to see that Bonnie’s nose is bleeding. He tries to stop her but suddenly she passes out. Bringing Bonnie a glass of water after she wakes up, Jeremy questions her about what had happened. Bonnie tells him that witches too have a weakness. If they use too much witchcraft, the magic will push back. She makes him promise not to ever share that information with anyone. If someone knows her weakness, she can be in serious trouble. Bonnie opens up and tells Jeremy that she feels all alone and he admits that he feels the same way.

In *Katerina*, Bonnie gets out of her car and accidentally drops her books. Jeremy shows up and gives her a hand. Bonnie is shocked next when he asks her to join him later at the Mystic Grill. Hesitant at first, Bonnie soon says yes. Walking towards the school, Bonnie and Jeremy bumped into a new kid looking for the office. He introduces himself as Luka and seems to be only interested in Bonnie. Jeremy heads off with Luca to show him the office while Bonnie looks on.In the Mystic Grill, Bonnie runs into Luka and his father Jonas Martin.

They invite her to sit with them and seeing that Jeremy had not arrived yet, Bonnie sits down. Bonnie finds out that they just moved there from Louisiana. Jonas tells Bonnie that he knew some Bennetts in Salem and asks her if she is related? Bonnie tells him yes but before she can say anymore, Jeremy arrives and they head over to the pool tables. Bonnie and Jeremy are enjoying a game of pool when Luka once again joins them. Soon Luka joins Bonnie at her table while Jeremy plays pool. Luka starts by apologizing if his father was being too much of a snoop but that they just needed to be careful. Not understanding what he’s talking about, Luka shows her a little trick he can do with the salt. Bonnie asks if he is a witch but he admits he is a warlock.

In *The Sacrifice*, Bonnie and Luka’s friendship seems to grow every day. She opens up and explains to Luka that lately the spells have been too hard on her. Grabbing her hands in his, he shows her how to channel his energy. He explains that together they can be strong. Bonnie agrees to help Damon and Stefan break the spell on the tomb long enough to get them in there to retrieve the moonstone. Jeremy of course is upset because he knows that it will be too much for Bonnie.

Jeremy tries to convince Bonnie that she is not strong enough to carry out this spell. Bonnie of course will not listen. After they have done the spell and have the ashes from Katherine’s picture, Bonnie turns her back to retrieve something to put the ashes in. While her back is turned, Jeremy places some of the ashes in his wallet so that he can go to the tomb and grab the moonstone himself. At the tomb, Bonnie channels Luka’s energy to try and get Jeremy out but she ends up passing out. Taking matters into his own hands, Stefan races into the tomb and tosses Jeremy out. Now he too is locked in the tomb with Katherine.

In *By the Light of the Moon*, Elena and Bonnie discuss how to remove the curse from the moonstone. Elena is desperate to help free Stefan from the tomb. Telling her they will figure it out, Bonnie shoves the stone into her purse and walks away. Elena heads on down the stairs but runs into Bonnie. Bonnie can see that Elena is hiding something and demands to know what she is up too. Elena is caught and confronted when as they suspected, she had taken the Moonstone. When Elena attempts to leave the house, she discovers that Bonnie has put a spell on the home that will not allow her to leave.

Bonnie arrives at Luka’s to give him back his necklace. After apologizing for using it, Luka allows her to enter. He shows her into a room where she sees old Grimoire's. Luka explains that his father has been collecting them for years. Bonnie asks Luka if he knows how to break a bind between a talisman and a spell. They both begin looking through the old Grimoires to find an answer. Up on a roof top, Luka and Bonnie prepare to break the curse on the moonstone. Placing the moonstone in both of their hands, they begin to chant together. After a few minutes, the moonstone lifts up out of their hands and bursts into tiny sparks.

In *Crying Wolf*, Bonnie brings a mocha over to Luka at the pool table as a gift to try and smooth things over between them. Little does he know, Bonnie had put a spell on his drink that would knock him out. After a few sips, he is ready to fall over. Jeremy and Caroline are soon there to help him up and back to Caroline’s house. Setting up many candles at Caroline’s house, Bonnie prepares to try and get information regarding Klaus from Luka.

Resisting at first but soon Luca starts to talk. They soon discover that Elijah promised Luka and his father that if they help him, he will get Luka’s sister back from Klaus. After Caroline leaves to bring Luka back to the Mystic Grill, Bonnie decides to tell Jeremy why they shouldn’t be together. Not wanting to hear her reasons, Jeremy takes Bonnie’s face and begins to kiss her passionately, making her realize that he isn’t a little boy or Elena’s little brother anymore.

In *The Dinner Party*, at the Mystic Grill, Jeremy sees Bonnie and joins her at the table. Excited to see her again because of the kiss they shared the night before, Jeremy wants to ask her what she thinks of them being together. Not having a chance though because they are soon joined by Luka. Luka gets in Bonnie’s face and demands to know what had happened to him. Pleaded innocence, Bonnie tells him that they had a coffee and played some pool. Luka of course feels differently, considering he woke up in the men’s bathroom. Before he has a chance to get too loud, Jeremy steps in and asks him to leave.

Bonnie arrives at Jeremy’s to work on some spells. When she walks in, she is shocked to see candles lit everywhere. Figuring out what Jeremy’s plan was, Bonnie tells him that until she speaks with Elena, their romantic relationship can go no farther. Understanding, they both settle in for a quiet evening working on her spells. Dr. Martin storms through the Gilbert’s front door after a visit from Elijah. With one movement from his hand, he throws Jeremy up at the wall and keeps him there. He then approaches Bonnie and takes her head in his hands and demands to know where Elena is. He also tells her that if anything happens to Luka, she will answer to him. Chanting a spell before letting her go, Dr. Martin leaves. Jeremy races over to Bonnie to check on her. She is crying and tells him that he took her powers away.

In *The House Guest*, Bonnie along with Caroline and Elena decide to have a girls night. Jenna walks in depressed and they soon convince her to stay and join them. Trying to decide what to do, Caroline tells them about the band playing down at the Mystic Grill and they all decide to head on out. Elena bumps into Bonnie who asks her how she would feel if she started seeing Jeremy. Elena tells Bonnie that Jeremy has had so much pain in his life that he deserves to be happy with someone as amazing as her. Later Bonnie sees Jonas enter the Grill and walks over to him to try and convince him that it wasn’t their fault and that she wants to help him get his daughter back.

Dr. Martin doesn’t hear her and soon the lights up above start to explode. People begin to scream and leave. Placing his hands on her head, Dr. Martin makes Bonnie collapse. Afterwards Bonnie kneels beside Jonas and attempts to close his eyes. Seconds later, he sits up straight and grabs her head between his hands. Holding her motionless for a minute until Stefan pulls him off and falls to the floor dead this time. Up in his room, Jeremy tries to talk to Bonnie about being in denial about losing her powers. She puts her hands to his chest and soon the lights flicker. Going up to his ear, she whispers that Dr. Martin gave her powers back. He also told her how to kill Klaus.

In *Know Thy Enemy*, Bonnie works with Jeremy and Damon in order to find the spell they will need to gather the power of the witches killed in the massacre. Damon takes them to the site where the witches were burned. Damon knew where it was because he had tried to save Emily. Inside the house Damon finds that he cannot move. His ring then stops working and he begins to burn. He tells Bonnie to help and she closes her eyes and starts muttering a spell. Bonnie tells him that she doesn't think that the witches like him being there. Stefan and Damon realize that Bonnie is their new secret weapon because neither Isobel nor Katherine knew that Bonnie had her powers back and the power of the massacred witches.

Outside the Witch House, Jeremy asks how much power Bonnie can channel. Bonnie closes her eyes and shows how much:Winds blow hard,thunder roars,they sunshine disappears. Bonnie and Jeremy are at Elena's house when Jeremy reads the warning the witches gave to Bonnie and is upset because if Bonnie uses too much power she will die. He asks her how much power she will need to kill an Original and Bonnie tells him that she needs all of it. She tells him that if she dies it was to save Elena, him, and everybody else.

In *The Last Dance*, Bonnie is at the safe house with Elena, Stefan and Damon. Bonnie goes to the school decade dance with Jeremy. Jeremy confronts Bonnie again on why she wants to kill herself for Elena and they are overheard by Damon. Elena and Bonnie follow who they think is Alaric to help him. When Klaus leads them to an empty hallway Elena finally guesses who Alaric really is. When Bonnie notices that Klaus's plan is to kill Bonnie by provoking her into using too much energy she and Elena flee and bump into Damon.

Damon tells Elena to find Stefan and then asks Bonnie if she is willing to do what has to be done to kill Klaus. When Stefan and Elena return they find Damon alone and Bonnie fighting with Klaus. After a few striking blows at Klaus Bonnie sinks to the ground and Stefan and Elena can´t find a pulse. Damon cuts in and tells them to leave and that he would take care of the body, since the sheriff shouldn't find out about it. He takes Bonnie to the house, where she had received her power and she wakes up there and Jeremy promises to stay there with her. At the Salvatore House Elena grieves the loss of Bonnie, when Damon tells her, that if they want a chance to win Klaus must believe Bonnie is dead. So he had planned everything with Bonnie.

In *The Sun Also Rises*, Over at the old witches' house, Jeremy and Bonnie look through the Grimoires to find a way of stopping Elena becoming a vampire. Meanwhile, Elijah, Alaric and Stefan arrive to speak to Bonnie. Elijah explains that the sacrifice will happen in stages - the Werewolf will be killed, then the Vampire, and then the Petrova Doppelgänger. He says that once Elena dies, the curse will be broken and Klaus will become a Hybrid. However, this will also be when Klaus is weakest and Bonnie will be able to deliver him to the brink of death. Elijah says he will finish the job. Inside, Jeremy reveals that he thinks he's found a spell that might help and decides to ask Stefan to bring Johnathan Gilbert's journals for more information. Alaric appears and asks to speak to Jeremy alone. He explains that Jenna has been taken. Upstairs, Bonnie is willing to kill Klaus now to save Jenna, even though it would mean killing herself. However, Stefan refuses and explains that he has a plan - he will offer himself as the vampire instead.

Later, Bonnie and John explain that they have a spell that could save Elena. John's life for Elena. John explains that in Johnathan Gilbert's time, a woman had a sick baby but bound her life force with the child's. When the child died, the mother's life flowed through her and restored the baby's life. John explains that he will not let Elena become the thing he spent his life protecting her against.

Bonnie casts the spell on John and Damon, Bonnie and Elijah leave for the sacrifice. Jeremy wants to accompany them, but Bonnie kisses him and casts a spell to make him pass out. Meanwhile, Alaric is furious when he discovers that he is unable to leave the house because of another spell Bonnie has performed to keep him safe.Bonnie uses magic against Klaus.

Bonnie then appears where the sacrifice is being held and throws Klaus across the ground. Greta heads over towards them, but Damon breaks her neck. He picks up Elena and pulls the stake out of Stefan's back. Stefan tells him to get Elena out of there and reveals he won't leave until Klaus is dead. Bonnie continues to cast the spell and as Klaus is weakened, Elijah approaches him. He starts to kill him, but Klaus croaks that he did not bury the family at sea - the bodies are safe. He promises to take Elijah to them if he saves him. Bonnie threatens to kill them both if Elijah doesn't slay Klaus, adding that she doesn't care if she dies. However, Elijah apologizes and dashes away before Bonnie could stop him. Bonnie later pays her respect to The Gilbert Family by attending John and Jenna's funeral.

In *As I Lay Dying*, Stefan and Bonnie go to the Witch House and Bonnie explains that she will try to summon Emily. Bonnie chants a spell and Emily ends up possessing her body and Stefan asks how to heal a Werewolf Bite. Emily refuses to give him an answer, explaining that there is a natural balance to everything and maybe Damon deserves to die. She does hint that there is a cure, though. Suddenly, Bonnie screams and clutches her head. She explains that the Witch'es don't want her there as she is abusing their power. However, she reveals that she heard them saying that Klaus is key to the cure.

Later, Alaric calls Jeremy, who is at the Gone With The Wind screening with Bonnie and Caroline. Jeremy admits that Elena went to see Damon and Alaric warns that he's in bad shape and the cops are after him. He advises Jeremy to get Elena somewhere safe if he finds her. Bonnie tells Jeremy to wait behind, but Jeremy refuses, saying that for once they can't stop him from getting involved. Liz arrives and shoots at Damon, but he rushes off quickly and the bullet hits Jeremy.

Liz is shocked and, at that moment, Caroline and Bonnie arrive. Bonnie points out that Jeremy's ring won't work because he was hurt by a Human, not a supernatural creature. Caroline feeds Jeremy her blood - much to her mother's shock - but it doesn't work. Bonnie realizes that she knows what to do and takes him away with Alaric, who has just arrived. Alaric and Bonnie take Jeremy to the witches' house and Bonnie tries to use the power of the old witches to revive Jeremy. She casts a spell but begins to worry as the other witches are angry at her for returning and don't want to help.

She says there will be consequences, and Alaric tells her to get them to shut up as Jeremy is just a kid. Bonnie continues to cast the spell but her nose begins to bleed and she sobs. She calls to Emily, begging her to help as she loves Jeremy. However, the candles go out. Bonnie sobs as she believes Jeremy is dead for good, but then he wakes up. Bonnie hugs him and thanks Emily for helping. Later, she calls Caroline, who informs Liz that Jeremy is alive.Jeremy returns home and searches on the internet for "back from the dead". Bonnie speaks to him on webcam and he admits that he feels weird, but Bonnie points out that he has just been brought back from the dead and it's bound to feel strange. She jokes that he can thank her "tomorrow and the next day and the next day". They say good night and Alaric appears, explaining that he's going to head off. However, seeing how Jeremy looks, he decides to stay the night. Jeremy thanks him for everything he has done. However, Alaric teases Jeremy by revealing that he overheard Bonnie's suggestion that he thank her "tomorrow and the next day and the next day".}}

In *The Birthday*, Bonnie only makes a small appearance. She is seen video chatting with her boyfriend Jeremy in the episode.

In *Disturbing Behavior*, Caroline shows up on Elena’s doorstep and announces that she had brought her a surprise. Suddenly Bonnie appears and gives Elena a big hug. Seeing Jeremy on the stairs, Bonnie goes running into his arms. Hugging her close, Jeremy looks into the mirror behind Bonnie and sees Anna watching them. Later, Caroline tries to help Elena pour her chili into a pot for the party when she lets out a tiny scream of pain. Pulling her necklace from her neck, she sees that it had burnt her skin. Taking the necklace off, Bonnie goes to touch it and it burns her too.

She tells them that there is some kind of magic with the Elena's Necklace. The Founder’s party seems to be in full swing when the girls gather to see if Bonnie can figure out what kind of magic is attached to the necklace. Caroline takes this time to question Elena about her relationship with Damon. Hearing Bonnie’s intake of breath, Caroline and Elena watch as the necklace floats into the air all on its own. Looking through old spell books, Jeremy and Bonnie try to figure out what to do about the necklace. Suddenly Anna appears and warns Jeremy that the darkness was there. Moments later, the books catch on fire., Chanting and shouting "Sutas Incenda!" Bonnie is able to put out the fire. Later, when they clean the ashes that which were burned Jeremy opens up to Bonnie, telling her about the ghosts.

In *The Reckoning*, Bonnie is placed under extreme stress, where she must find a way for Klaus' hybrids to live, and not die or turn rabid. Matt and Bonnie figure they need Jeremy's help, as he can contact the dead. Because Jeremy is missing, Matt puts his life on the line to try and get help from his dead sister, Vicki. Bonnie rushes to save drowning Matt, and he relays her the message, that the doppelgänger must be dead for Klaus to create hybrids: an outright lie, as Elena's blood actually creates the hybrids. Bonnie explains to Matt that what he did was too risky and foolish. Matt cuts her off and tells her that he saw Vicki. Telling her that Vicki has a message for her. The message was that as long as Elena was alive, the transition cannot take place and Tyler would die.

In *Smells Like Teen Spirit*, first day of school and Bonnie, Caroline and Elena reflect on the fact that they were all seniors now and how much their lives had changed.Later,Bonnie is discussing the fact that Jeremy is seeing Anna.

Bonnie begins to read the spell. Vicki appears and she begs Matt to stop Bonnie. Matt asks Bonnie if the spell is working. Bonnie in respond says that Vicki is here because of him and that he should let Vicki go. Matt says to Vicki goodbye and Vicky vanishes.

In *Ghost World*, seeing Caroline and Bonnie hanging up lights for the festivities, Damon pulls over and demands Bonnie to figure out a way to send these ghosts back.

A spell used to reveal veiled matter which is ghosts.Needing some privacy to perform the spell, Bonnie and Caroline head over to the old mansion where the 100 witches had all died a horrible death.

Soon Bonnie begins to chant the spell and Caroline senses the change in the atmosphere. Bonnie gets a great shock when she suddenly feels and sees her grams holding hand. Looking at Bonnie, Grams tells her to dry her tears because they had some work to do. She explains that when Vickie was sent back, an old witch managed to keep the door open and now any ghosts with unfinished business could come and go. She needs the necklace in order to close the doorway for good.Bonnie later finds out that Jeremy kisses Anna After getting the necklace from Anna to Jeremy from Jeremy to Bonnie is ready to cast the spell in front of a fire.

She throws the necklace into the fire. Just when she is about to begin the spell, Grams appears and they chant the spell together. During the spell the necklace is burned and cracked. After the spell Sheila says that Bonnie is "You are stronger than all of this. I'm so proud of you" and vanishes sadly. Later when Bonnie alone stands in the room the fire that which was still burning flickers a lot. When she goes to see what's wrong, she sees the necklace undamaged.

In *Ordinary People*, Bonnie helps Alaric and Elena by figuring out the marks and the symbols on the walls in the caves.

In *Homecoming*, Bonnie is at The Gilbert House still figuring out the marks and the symbols from photos. She suggests not to go to the Homecoming Dance and figure out the symbols, when Elena says that she doesn't have anything to wear. Bonnie refuses to talk about Jeremy, when Elena asks her about it. Later, at the dance when Tyler is about the bite Damon, and when Damon tries to kill Tyler, Bonnie appears giving both of them aneurysms. She takes Tyler down.When Damon recovers and takes the White Oak Stake Bonnie asks what it is.When she gains the knowledge of it she gets into a shock.

In *The New Deal*, Bonnie slowly approaches the old mansion and walks in. Once inside, she hears the whispers of the ancient witches pulling her towards the cellar. In there, she sees a coffin. Opening up the lid, she sees Klaus’s body and wrapped around his fingers is the necklace. Before she has a chance to reach for the necklace, she awakens and discovers she is in her bed. Later, at The Mystic Grill Elena and Bonnie discuss about latest news including her dreams about the Four Coffins. Once again Bonnie finds herself back at the old mansion but this time it’s not a dream.

Hearing the whispers of the ancient witches again, she is lured into the cellar. There, she sees she is not alone. Stefan is waiting there for her. She sees the coffins and Stefan tells her that he needs her to put a spell on the coffins so they will disappear. Calling Bonnie, Elena tells her what almost happened to Jeremy. She asks Bonnie if she could use a locator spell and find Stefan. Bonnie agrees to help and tells her where she could find Stefan.Afterwards Bonnie again arrives at the Witch House and discovers about the fact that the fourth coffin is closed with a spell.

In *Our Town*, Bonnie proceeds on opening the coffin, using different spells but they don't work. At school Elena tells her that Jeremy has been compelled by Damon to leave town and is shocked. Together with Elena and Matt she shows up at Caroline's house to surprise her with a birthday party. After Caroline states she will forever be 17 and is technically dead, they decide to make Caroline a funeral and they go to the cemetery. After Caroline goes with Tyler, Bonnie angry leaves after telling Elena she doesn't want Jeremy to leave town. Before he does so, she comes to say good bye to him.

In *The Ties That Bind*, Bonnie dreams about the coffin and her mom. She thinks her mom, Abby Bennett can help her open that coffin and tells Elena where the coffins are so she can get her help in finding her mom. With the help of Damon, they find her. She finds out that her mom is raising a guy named Jamie and the reason why she left her. When Abby tells that because of locking Mikael away in the 90's, she's lost her magic, she believes her mom is unable to help her solve the problem.

Later she hears a gunshot, following in her mom making Bonnie unconscious and giving her herbs that take away her magic temporary. It appears one of Klaus's hybrids compelled Jamie to kill himself if they don't tell the location of the coffins. With the help of Abby, Bonnie is still able to warn Damon on time to get one coffin out of the Witch House. Abby also tells her that if Bonnie wishes so, she'll try to get her magic back.

In *Bringing Out The Dead*, Stefan guides Bonnie and her mother through the caves until they come upon the room where the coffin is being kept. Stefan demands that they work together to try and open the coffin quickly before Klaus discovers them. Looking through her mother’s Grimoire, Bonnie tells her there didn’t seem to be anything in there to help. She soon comes across a ripped out page and asks her mother about it. Abby tells her that it was the spell she used to bind Mikael into the coffin.

On the next page, she notices a rope with two knots. Abby explains that it means that if 2 witches did it together, it might possibly unlock the coffin. In the cave, Bonnie and her mother try again to chant but it doesn’t work. Seeing her mother about ready to give up, Bonnie tells her that she was not opening up herself up enough. Seeing the truth in what her daughter was saying, Abby once again holds her hands and they begin.

Bonnie is then seen at the Boarding House with Damon as they wait for Abby to arr rive. When she does, Bonnie has a cold attitude towards her because of her recent departure.

## Personality

At the beginning of the series, Bonnie was a good-hearted, bubbly, sweet, fun-loving, spirited and optimistic individual. With regards to other people, Bonnie is described to be kind, warm, sympathetic, caring, compassionate, empathetic, selfless, and self-sacrificing. Bonnie has shown that she makes a very loving, devoted, loyal and caring friend. Bonnie could be considered to be a very spiritual person and she originally identifies herself as a psychic before discovering her identity as a witch as well as her witch heritage.

In the beginning, Bonnie was an optimistic person who always chose to see the positive in things. However, as the series goes on and Bonnie begins to suffer immense grief, loss, pain and tragedy as well as the losses of people close to her (most notably, her Grams and Jeremy), she begins to become a much more serious and even depressive person. Although she has shown that she is generally a positive and optimistic person, she has also shown that she is capable of being depressive, withdrawn, martyring, and apathetic. After her Grams dies in season one, she distanced herself from Elena and her friends in Mystic Falls. Her grief was shown to be so bad that Bonnie had even left town for a few weeks in order to escape.

Despite all the pain, loss and suffering that she has endured, Bonnie still remains rather strong, especially in the face of danger and adversity. She has shown that she is willing to put her own personal pain on the back burner in order to pay attention to the needs of her loved ones. It could be argued that Bonnie is much too emotionally invested or involved in the lives of her friends and this is probably the reason why Bonnie never seems to find a long period of contentment or happiness. Bonnie remains the person who is deeply loyal to her friends even through all of the challenges that they have faced.

While Bonnie has become friends with and likes Stefan, she remains cordial with his older brother, Damon, despite Damon's actions that have affected deeply including turning her mother into a vampire. Bonnie also sees the good in Damon and believes that he has the potential to be a good person and that there is hope for him if he makes the right choices.

Bonnie's most defining trait, as well as her greatest weakness, is her compassion, her selflessness, and her undying devotion and loyalty to her friends and her willingness to constantly sacrifice or martyr herself for them and for the greater good. Multiple times throughout the series, Bonnie uses her powers and abilities as a witch to save the people she cares for as well as innocents, despite knowing the consequences. Although every single member of her family has warned her about the consequences of some of the spells that she has performed, Bonnie's belief is that it is her duty to protect, save and help her friends at all costs.

Despite her strength in the face of loss, all of the tragic events that have happened to her and her friends has taken their emotional, mental and spiritual toll on her, particularly with Jeremy's death. Although Bonnie puts on a facade of strength and courage, she has proven that deep down, she is very emotionally vulnerable and she is in need of love, comfort and support. Bonnie's grief over the loss of Jeremy allowed her to be manipulated by Silas into agreeing to destroy the Veil between the realm of the living and the supernatural purgatory (the Other Side) just to bring Jeremy back knowing that it would also bring back every dead supernatural being.

Since finding herself in a "pocket reality" or an otherworldly dimension with Damon after seemingly being destroyed along with the imploding Other Side, Bonnie has been trying her best to keep it together despite the stress and frustration of having to live through the same day over and over again with the one person she is fond of the least (or so she says), believing that her Grams made sure that she would find her way back to the physical plane.

However, despite having to deal with that and Damon's sarcastic quips, she continues to stand tall in the face of adversity, managing to regain her magic at the possibility of the one companion or friend (and someone she cares for much deeper than she realizes) she had with her. Bonnie had no qualms when she telekinetically drove a pick axe through Kai's heart, knowing that he is of no use to her and Damon and also knowing that Kai is a psychotic murderer who has no moral or guilty conscience. However, Bonnie played the hero yet again when she sacrificed her chance to come back and let Damon go home instead, ensuring that Kai doesn't get to come back either.

Unfortunately, Kai's return to the real world set off a chain of events that put Bonnie in a most unbearable predicament - she is now stuck in the prison world meant for Kai and can only rely on her friends to get her back since she relinquished her magic and placed it in her teddy bear, which is also in the real world. Bonnie fell into a morose state as she tried to recreate a holiday tradition all by herself. She did her best to keep her spirits up but she ended up setting the Christmas tree she put up alight, showing that she is losing hope that she'll ever get out.

Not long after, Bonnie had reached her breaking point, as she found the suicide Bourbon she and Damon made a pact on and began drinking it profusely. She then decided to lock herself in the garage with the engine of Damon's car running, trying to suffocate herself to death. However, as she was recording her final moments, Bonnie was reminded of what her Grams told her and she willfully pushed through the pain of being alone and tried to escape the garage. Through Jeremy's timely intervention, she was able to get back up again and she found the atlas where Damon left notes about Nova Scotia, giving Bonnie the idea of going there to access the power of Qetsiyah's blood in Silas's headstone to bring herself back. Filled with a new determination, Bonnie takes Damon's car and journeys to Silas' tomb, hoping to finally return home.

Despite the injuries she sustained in acquiring the headstone, she nevertheless pushed through the pain and accomplished her objective. Even the erratic nature of the Prison Worlds did not stop her from fighting her way back home. When she did, she had a heartfelt reunion with Damon, who was overjoyed to have Bonnie back in the mortal plane. Despite the struggles Bonnie's faced, it appeared that they picked up where they left off and acted like not a day has passed since they got separated.

Bonnie is having a hard time reintegrating herself into life on the mortal plane, as she was very uncomfortable being in crowded places and scorched a man's skin because he was getting too close to her. However, she finds comfort in Damon, who somewhat reassures her that it's definitely going to take time for her to get herself together. However, things came to a head when she saw Kai again, threatening to melt his face off the next time she sees him, and she snapped at Damon for making her relive all the pain she felt in the Prison World. In a display of sheer power, Bonnie made Damon feel all of that pain so that her feelings about Kai would be made perfectly clear.

Bonnie has developed a more reserved, yet assertive and authoritarian demeanor after escaping the Prison World, even leading Damon (who is rather cocky and aggressive) to concede to her wishes. She acknowledges that her time in the Prison World changed her and is unsure if she is scared of what she may have turned into or likes this new version of herself. However, she is more than willing to pull through and figure herself out. After returning from the prison world, she is struggling to adapt to the real world and hide all the pain and loneliness she felt with angry and hate. But she is very happy to be reunited with her best friend Elena.

She is unable to let go of the past, as she refused forgiven Malachai Parker for what he did to her in the Prison World, despite the fact that he was no longer the evil psychopath he once was.

She even tried to kill him, even when he did not try to defend himself, Bonnie left him in 1903 as revenge for what he did to her. She is unable to let go of the past, as she refused forgiven Malachai Parker for what he did to her in the Prison World, despite the fact that he was no longer the evil psychopath he once was, becoming much more willing to backstab and even kill others. She is also seen to take a much more active role in the elimination of threats, helpingMatt kill vampires in Mystic Falls, aiding Damon in his revenge plot against Lily and Julian, and cutting off Enzo's hand to save Damon.

## Physical Appearance

Physically, Bonnie is a very beautiful and attractive young woman. She is rather exotic and has an "ethereal" beauty with an air of feminine mystery. Bonnie has a very soulful and magical beauty and she is almost uniformly feminine, in which she possesses somewhat of a fragile and enigmatic aura. Bonnie has soft and gentle facial features and she has somewhat of a delicate appearance. There is also something rather dreamy about her physical appearance. Bonnie has a heart-shaped face, with full cheeks and a pointed chin. Bonnie has very expressive, soulful, dreamy and beautiful eyes; they are large, round and almond-shaped which are seen to be olive green in coloring. Her eyes almost have a feeling of a boundless ocean; an ethereal quality that is very hard to pinpoint. She has perfectly shaped arched eyebrows which frame over her limpid and soulful eyes. She has a nice, slender and straight nose. Bonnie has well-shaped, full and sensuous lips, with straight white teeth and a warm and generous smile. She has clear and soft light brown skin or complexion with long, luxurious dark brown or soft black wavy hair. Having been a cheerleader, Bonnie has a slim yet athletic figure. Bonnie is also rather petite at about 5'2" and she is the shortest between herself, Elena and Caroline (with Caroline being the tallest). Bonnie regularly changes her hairstyle, in the early seasons, she had her hair regularly styled in very tight curls and sometimes soft waves, however in the later seasons, her hair is much straighter and the length is somewhat shorter. Her fashion sense or style is described as being gypsy chic with a bit of a hippie trend and she dresses in a casual manner with nice tops and jeans, but on special occasions, she will dress up in trendier and fancier clothing. As shown by several dances and parties, she likes to dress up in costume.

In early part of the first season, her style was very much "normal", regular denim, blue jeans with colored t-shirts. However in later seasons, she began to wear a more "unique" style, with floral, flared cardigans, dark jackets and matching accessories such as long necklaces and pendants with small earrings, which Bonnie is regularly seen wearing. In season four, her style matured and she began to wear more somewhat darker clothing and shoes, such as dark greens and black. She regularly wears cardigans and tops with some type of floral pattern with jeans or leggings, and occasionally; such as for Graduation, wore a floral print dress with her trinkets underneath her red gown. In the early parts of season five, her appearance and outfit when she died remains unchanged. However, when she returned to the physical plane, she had her hair cut into a short bob. Her style is much more relaxed and she's seen in more sleeveless tops than she did before. Bonnie occasionally wears make-up, only usually for special occasions such as parties in which she will use accessories and makeup to compliment her choice of outfit, however daily, she wears little to no makeup and Bonnie is more of a natural beauty. After being resurrected as the Anchor, she cut her hair to chin length, in a straight bob cut style. In Season 7, her hair has grown to shoulder length and she wears it in loose curls. Three years later, she is seen with chin length, straight, bob cut style hair again.

## Powers and Abilities

Bonnie has been shown to have used the following powers:

* **Divination:** Bonnie first experienced this ability before knowing that she was a witch. This ability allows her to connect psychically to events to come in the future seen before hand.
	+ **Intuition:** Bonnie seemed to know where certain objects were, like for example she knew her way around Elena's kitchen and even told her where to find the candles. Also throughout a day, Bonnie couldn't get out of her head three sets of numbers. This was later discovered that these numbers were at a crime scene where Damon killed the football coach.
	+ **Premonitions:** This ability is usually used subconsciously or in a dream as a nightmare but they don't usually occur that often and are usually quite vague. Bonnie has had this power from as early as 2010 shown when she was able to feel the dark energy which she determined to be "death" locked in the numbers 8, 14, and 22 sensed when touching Stefan for the first time which later showed to be true when Damon murdered William Tanner in cold blood. Bonnie experienced this power when she was hiding Klaus' family from him. She was dreaming that she was trapped inside one of Klaus' coffins and was banging to get out, to her surprise, her mother opened it. Bonnie used this Premonition to find her mother and use her to unlock the locked coffin, as they thought it was a weapon help kill Klaus.
* **Telekinesis:** The ability to manipulate physical objects with only the use of the mind or an evocation of magical words. When Bonnie was a "newbie witch", she seemed to have full control of the power, however not as powerful as other witches, as she levitates feathers into the air with the flick of her wrist. Throughout the series, this power has been shown to become stronger and stronger and when switching her magic to expression, her telekinesis peaked. She was able to immobilize an Original Vampire with a single thought and cause him extreme pain while, however, the more powerful it got, the more unstable the power got. As Bonnie has now reverted back to Traditional magic, her telekinesis has become weaker but still is shown to be quite powerful. After absorbing the power of Qetsiyah blood, the power increased once again.
* **Pyrokinesis:** The ability to create fire with the use of the mind or an evocation of magical words. Bonnie first used this ability when she was in a trance after a friend annoyed her, she caused the water to ignite, causing a vehicle to catch on fire. The second time was when she was possessed by her ancestor, Emily, through an incantation. Bonnie often used water to quick start fires, this was probably just to help her as she was just a "newbie witch" at the time. After gaining the power of expression, she started to create fires when she was mad or angry, this is usually because she has lost control as expression is a form of unstable magic that is difficult to control. Also, when having a nightmare, she subconsciously caused her quilt to catch on fire, however, put it out with a wave of her hand. After coming back from the dead, Kai motivated her by the use of Damon so that she could "activate" her magic. She ignited a candle like she did when she first found out that she was a witch. She seems to have full control of this power currently.
* **Aerokinesis:** Bonnie first showed this ability on her own when she harnessed the power of 100 dead witches. She demonstrated to Jeremy of her potential, causing the sky to turn black and making the wind so powerful, it was like a hurricane. Before this, Luka showed Bonnie of how powerful a witch can be if they channel an object or a person. Bonnie and Luka, at school, created a hurricane, blowing everyone's school work everywhere. After losing the power of the witches, Bonnie hasn't really showed any signs of this power.
* **Biokinesis:** According to Bonnie, she learned this ability with ease. She often uses this ability when up against supernatural beings, such as vampires or werewolves. Throughout the series, this power has also grown, so much so that she was able to cause an original vampire, Kol an intense aneurysm. That caused him to fall to the ground, clutching his head in pain. This was however due to her using the power of expression, so it is not known whether her current powers can cause such pain or not. After Damon upset Bonnie, she used this power to cause Damon to experience the pain and suffering she had been through while in the prison world with Kai, creating a stab wound where Kai had stabbed her, and an arrow wound where Kai had shot her with a crossbow just after Damon had left.
* **Accelerated Healing:** After learning expression, Elena attacked Bonnie at her prom and started to drain her blood. Bonnie managed to get Elena off by giving her an aneurysm while also healing the bite wound with ease. She has not however displayed this ability now that she is not practicing expression.
* **Necromancy:** After gaining the power of Expression, Bonnie used a combination of magics: dark magic, Expression, and spirit magic to resurrect her deceased lover, Jeremy from the other side. The price for this spell, however, was her life, but fortunately, the spell was successful and resurrected Jeremy from the dead. Bonnie also practiced necromancy several other times, such as resurrecting Jeremy from the afterlife with the help of 100 witch spirits. She also resurrected two unspecified spirits in Oscar & Josette's bodies by summoning their souls from the Phoenix Stone.}}

## Weaknesses

Bonnie has all the typical weaknesses of a human/witch.

## Relationships

### Sheila Bennett

In the beginning, we hear Bonnie mention numerous times that her Grams says she' a witch. At first she thinks her Grams is crazy, but Bonnie then starts to experience inexpiable and supernatural things. She finally believes that she's a witch. When Bonnie was in the initial stages of learning magic, she would visit her grandmother on the weekends. When Bonnie didn't know what was happening with her abilities she went to her for help. Grams explained the Bennett family history and also taught her spells. When Bonnie and Elena were kidnapped, Grams got Stefan to save them both. Grams also helped open the tomb, so that Damon would leave town. After Grams and Bonnie opened the tomb, Grams lied down in exhaustion. However, the spell ended up being too much for her body to handle and she died. Bonnie was devastated and took a few weeks off from school after her funeral. Since then, Bonnie has taken witchcraft much more seriously. After the veil between the living and the dead is broken, a vast group of spirits return to Mystic Falls, including Sheila Bennett. After she reveals to Bonnie that the balance of Nature has been offset, together Bonnie and Sheila perform a spell that destroyed The Original Witch's Talisman. Before her departure, Sheila gives words of encouragement to Bonnie, reminding her of her strength, and how proud she is of how far Bonnie has come. When Elena was transitioning into a vampire, Bonnie tried to pull her human spirit from the Other Side but she was stopped by Sheila, who warned her of the dark magic she was using and to stop messing with Nature. When she continued to do so, Bonnie watched her grandmother die right in front of her. Now that Bonnie is also on the Other Side, they can now presumably stay together after she told Jeremy that she "has the witches" and she left holding Sheila's hand. After spending time on the Other Side together, they come to find that the witches are noticing the dimension is collapsing, thanks to Markos. After the Other Side starts to suck lost supernatural souls into oblivion, Sheila mentions how proud she is to have the opportunity to watch Bonnie grow. The two share a heartfelt goodbye before Sheila finds peace, beyond the Other Side

### Lucy

Lucy seemed to be Katherine's friend and ally. She appeared in *Masquerade*. She is a witch and also Bonnie's cousin. She performed a spell that linked Elena to Katherine, in order to protect her. After Bonnie learned that she can trust Lucy, she handed over the moonstone. Lucy suffocated Katherine and afterwards gave Bonnie the moonstone and left town.

However, before she left she told Bonnie that she was a good witch and that she needed to continue to fight. She also reassured Bonnie that she would see her again, however this has yet to be seen on-screen.

### Caroline Forbes

The friendship between Bonnie and Caroline is one that has become stronger after Bonnie honed her witchcraft and Caroline became a vampire. Before they were cheerleaders in high school and they were also best friends with Elena Gilbert. Caroline was a shallow girl who envied Elena and usually talked to Bonnie about it. After Caroline transitioned into a vampire, Bonnie was angry over this and lashed out at Damon but eventually Bonnie's love for her friend overcame her natural dislike for vampires and the two were best friends again. After the Salvatore brothers killed Bonnie's mother, she kept the body at Caroline's house and it was Caroline who explained to Elena the strain it put on Bonnie being Elena's friend. Throughout the many seasons, Caroline and Bonnie have continually been there for one another despite their disagreements. Besides Elena being involved, Caroline and Bonnie have never shared a disagreement until Season Seven, when Bonnie is forced to become a Supernatural Huntress. Caroline is currently trying to save Bonnie from a lifelong misery of being forced to hunt vampires. After saving Bonnie, their friendship is almost immediately restored as they begin tracking down the Armory's monster and Damon and Enzo.

In Season Eight, Bonnie is helped by Caroline in her quest to find Enzo and Damon. While doing so, Bonnie desperately tries to get through to Enzo. After Bonnie rescued Enzo from Sybil, she planned to move into a house with him, but Caroline’s fiancé murdered Enzo right in front of Bonnie. This puts Bonnie and Caroline in a tense position, especially when Stefan’s humanity switch is back on and Caroline decides to still marry him. Bonnie initially refused to attend Caroline’s wedding as her maid of honor because she was still very angry at Caroline’s fiancé for murdering Enzo while his humanity was off. However, Bonnie changes her mind and decides to become Caroline’s maid of honor after all, but only for Caroline’s sake. After the events in the eighth season’s finale, Caroline decides to stay in Mystic Falls while Bonnie leaves their town to travel the world. This separates them, but it can be assumed they still remained best friends.

### Elena Gilbert

Elena is one of Bonnie's best friend since childhood. She is the first person that Bonnie tells she is a witch. Bonnie has said that she "loves Elena like a sister" and has said that she would "die for her". They are very close and would do anything for each other. After Elena and the Salvatore brothers indirectly cause Sheila Bennett's death, their friendship goes through a temporary rough patch. Their friendship is later rekindled, and they remained best friends. After Jeremy's death, Elena turns off her humanity, and later attacks Bonnie at prom in an attempt to kill her, causing another strain on their friendship. After Elena turns her humanity back on, they make amends and Elena apologizes for her actions, to which Bonnie replies, "You weren't you. I know what that's like. I wasn't me for a long time", in reference to (expression) having an effect on her mind. They remain close until Kai Parker links their lives together in season six and they are forced to live without each other. Currently, Bonnie and Elena will never see each other again being Bonnie must die a natural death in order to awaken a slumbering Elena. The two share a heartfelt goodbye scene in the season finale in season six and afterwards, Bonnie seals Elena's slumbering body into the Salvatore crypt until she awakens. Bonnie currently misses Elena being she is forced to carry on without her.

### Jeremy Gilbert

Jeremy was the first to develop romantic feelings for Bonnie and the first to express desire for a more romantic relationship between the two of them. However, Bonnie was reluctant, thinking of him as Elena's 'kid brother', but eventually gave into her feelings for him. Jeremy and Bonnie then started a relationship after they got Elena's blessing to go ahead. Jeremy is overprotective of Bonnie; probably because he doesn't want to lose her like his past two girlfriends. Bonnie has proven her love for Jeremy when she willing brought him back to life, no matter the consequence. However, after Bonnie brought him back to life he started seeing and talking to the ghost of his ex-girlfriend, much to Bonnie's displeasure. Elena caught Jeremy kissing Anna, she then informed Caroline who in turn relayed this information to Bonnie. A heartbroken Bonnie then ends their relationship.

In *Death and the Maiden*, they confess their love for each other and kiss. In *Home*, Bonnie gets trapped on the other side with Damon, thus ending their relationship. However, in Season Six, the two rekindle their friendship and decide to breakup. Jeremy is currently away from Mystic Falls and would rather pursue his life chasing vampires than being with her in Mystic Falls. Also, Bonnie wanted to explore herself after realizing she has changed as a person.

### Matt Donovan

Matt and Bonnie are great friends that have been close since childhood. In the pilot Bonnie is seen talking and trying to comfort him about Elena. In season 3, Matt mentioned he and Bonnie were lifeguards last summer. Matt also has a lot of trust in Bonnie that he trust her with his life in *The Reckoning*. Even though Matt is feeling lonely, Bonnie reassures Matt; "You’re the only one of us who actually gets to live their life like a normal person, no matter how lost you feel. Don’t forget that."

Bonnie continues to be there for Matt as a friend for the rest of the series. When Bonnie becomes a supernatural huntress during the seventh season, this strains their friendship a bit. However, once Bonnie is saved, they go back to being friends as if nothing happened. It is assumed they have remained good friends even though Bonnie distances herself from Matt and the rest of their mutual friends when she decides to leave Mystic Falls to travel the world.

### Damon Salvatore

Damon and Bonnie first started out as enemies who usually worked together to save their friends and loved ones. However at the end of Season 5, they get stuck on The Other Side together, and hold hands as they get sucked into a white light. They later discover that they are stuck in a 1994 Prison World. They work together to find a way out and form an alliance to take down Kai. During this time, they are able to move on from their past and become best friends. Damon is shown to be protective of Bonnie by threatening Kai: "We may be having a bit of a disagreement, but don't ever lay a hand on her." Bonnie also sacrifices herself to let Damon go home. They later reunite in *Let Her Go* and Damon happily states, "You made it."

For Season 7, they are closer than ever and Damon looks to protect her (and her vice versa). They have their small fights every now and then, but ultimately come together as friends and ally to help their other loved ones against the one thing they hate the most: the Heretics.

During the season, Damon and Bonnie allied together frequently to stop Lily Salvatore and her adoptive children from wreaking havoc on Mystic Falls. They are also close in friendship, until Damon feels that desiccating himself in a coffin to wait for Elena's return is the right thing to do. This breaks Bonnie's heart and this severely damaged their friendship. Three years later, Damon is awakened by Stefan being Rayna Cruz is after him once again. Stefan, Damon, Enzo and Bonnie work together to stop Rayna. This only strains Damon and Bonnie relationship even more, but they ally together anyways. However, once they defeat Rayna, her powers are passed onto Bonnie: the powers of a supernatural vampire huntress.

By Bonnie becoming a relentless huntress, this influences Bonnie to hate Damon once again, only worse than ever. Damon tries to get through to her, including telling her off in a dream by trying to get the real Bonnie back, but this doesn't work. Damon burns one of the last bodies of a corpse connected to Bonnie's huntress side and cured Bonnie of the huntress curse. Shortly after that, Bonnie and Enzo joke around with Damon on the phone and they confirm that Bonnie has forgiven him and that they are best friends once again. However, Damon mysteriously hears Elena's voice in the Armory's vault and is easily drawn to it despite Enzo and Bonnie's protests over the phone to try and stop Damon from following the voice. It is too later though; Damon has been drawn in to the Armory's monster's clutches. Bonnie sends Enzo first to see if he could save Damon, but Enzo too is captured. Currently, Bonnie is devastated that Damon and Enzo are missing and she is desperately trying to find Enzo along with Damon.
