**Bonnie Sheila Mikaelson-Bennett** is a very powerful witch and one of the main female characters of the *An Epic Kind of Love* series. While she filled the role of counselor and confidante to all her friends, Bonnie is a feisty, yet empathetic witch, who discovered her powers just in time to help out her family and friends. Bonnie is the wife of Kol Mikaelson and the sister-in-law of Finn, Freya, Kai, Elijah, Katherine, Klaus, Caroline, Rebekah, Stefan, and Henrik. She is also the the mother of Aleksander and Abigail Mikaelson-Bennett, as well as the aunt of Hope and Thalia. She is best friends with Elena, Adrianna, Caroline, Kol, and Damon. She is also close friends with Stefan, Freya, Rebekah, Kai, and Katherine.

Bonnie is noted for having many heroine tendencies, such as being very compassionate, empathetic, helpful, and very selfless (to the point of martyrdom). She is repeatedly ready to sacrifice herself for her family and friends without any hesitation. As her powers grew, she's stepped up at every opportunity to protect her friends, even if it meant trading her life in the process. Gaining the power of Expression, she was able to take down two Original vampires, as well as the first Immortal, Silas. Despite the warnings from Grams, she combined spirit, Expression, and dark magic to resurrect Jeremy back from the dead. While successful, it was too much for her and the spell killed her in the process.

Existing on the Other Side as a ghost, her very ancient and powerful ancestor, Qetsiyah, transferred the status of Anchor to the Other Side from Amara to Bonnie, allowing her to exist on both sides of the living and the dead. However, Bonnie was forced to feel the pain of every supernatural death and no longer had access to the powerful magic she once had. During this time, Bonnie also reconnected with Kol and they restarted their relationship. After Markos violently tore his way out of the Other Side with the help of the Travelers, it began falling apart, which unbalanced the Other Side which threatened Bonnie with permanent death. Despite great effort on both her and her friends' part to save the Other Side, it eventually imploded on itself as Bonnie and Damon spent their last moments together.

Bonnie and Damon found themselves back in Mystic Falls but they were forced to repeat the same day, May 10, 1994, over and over. Though Damon retained his vampirism, Bonnie was unable to perform magic. Eventually, they meet Malachai Parker who tried to kill Damon, which allowed Bonnie to regain her magic at the prospect of losing her only friend at the moment. The three then worked together to escape the prison world and Bonnie reunites with Kol and the rest of her friends. Bonnie eventually marries Kol and has two children.

Bonnie is a member and one of the last surviving witches of the **Bennett Family**. She is also a member of the **Mikaelson Family** due to being married to Kol Mikaelson.

## Early History

Bonnie was born on February 5, 1993, to Rudy Hopkins and Abby Bennett Wilson in Mystic Falls, Virginia. 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. She did this in order to protect her best friend Miranda Sommers-Gilbert's adoptive daughters Elena and Adrianna, who are Petrova doppelgängers. Because of her mother abandoning her and her father seldom 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.

During her early childhood, Bonnie became best friends with Caroline Forbes, Elena, and Adrianna. When Bonnie was nine years old, she lost her favorite teddy, Ms. Cuddles.

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.

## Throughout An Epic Kind of Love Series (Part 1)

* Book 1
* Book 2
* Book 3
* Book 4
* Book 5

In the beginning of Book 1, 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 and Adrianna that she is a descendant of Salem witches 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.

Later as Bonnie, Caroline, and Adrianna arrive at Mystic Grill, Bonnie explains to Caroline that she is worried about her seeing Damon but Caroline assures Bonnie that Damon is safe and that he just has a lot of issues with his brother, Stefan. Bonnie and Adrianna encourage Caroline to tell them the secret that Damon told Caroline. Soon after, at the Founders' Party and Heritage Display, Bonnie is alone at a table and notices a candle being blown out. She relights it just by staring at the candles, but instantly 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 the candles and turning on the lights with her powers.
At school when Stefan approaches Elena, Bonnie, and Adrianna, Bonnie instantly flees in order to avoid him. Afterward Bonnie attends the Sexy Suds Car Wash. A man arrives with a car and Tiki, one of the girls, is being rude, which angers Bonnie. She then makes the hose run with her powers which gets Tiki wet. Tiki later is in charge of the car wash and makes Bonnie sweep the pavement because it has to be dry. Bonnie, in anger, burns the the pavement and the fire travels up along the water and sets a car on fire. Stefan is able to snap Bonnie out of her trance and she asks him what happened and if she caused the fire. When Stefan confirms that she did, Bonnie asks him not to tell anyone and then she leaves. Later, Bonnie arrives at Sheila's house. When Sheila opens the door, Bonnie is crying and says she doesn't know what's going on.

Bonnie learns more and more about witchcraft from her grandmother. Sheila tells her about the history and how serious witchcraft can be. Caroline gives Bonnie a witch halloween costume, which includes the necklace that Damon gave Caroline. At the Halloween Party, Bonnie is in front of a cauldron when Damon approaches her and asks her where Caroline is. In response, Bonnie warns him to stay away from her. Damon notices the necklace 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 to him, that 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 flees to her grandmother's house and tells her everything. Sheila tells her that the necklace belonged to one of the most powerful witches in their family, and she shows Bonnie an old picture of a woman wearing the same necklace. It is also revealed that she is Bonnie's great-great-great-great-grandmother.
A few days later, Bonnie tries to give her grandmother the necklace back but she says no and that it belongs to Bonnie. She says it's a talisman that has been passed down from generation to generation and it has found its way back to Bonnie. Bonnie decides to keep the necklace though she wishes it was prettier.

Bonnie then pays a visit to Elena in her room and apologizes for being an absentee friend the past few days. Feeling that she can trust Elena, Bonnie swears her to secrecy and proceeds to show her what she's learned from her grandmother. Bonnie rips open a feather pillow and the proceeds to make the feathers from the pillow float. Elena is surprised but happy that Bonnie shared this with her.
Bonnie begins dreaming of her ancestor, Emily, asking for her help. She is scared when she wakes from what she thought was just a simple dream and finds herself at the ruins of the old Fell's Church.

She senses that Emily keeps trying to tell her something and feels that the necklace has a lot to do with it. She is later confronted by Damon again about the necklace but she refuses to hand it over to him.
Damon 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 deal's a deal". Driving home from school, Bonnie tells Elena that she feels the necklace is causing the whole situation. Bonnie then throws the necklace far into a deserted field. Elena invites Caroline and Bonnie over for a sleepover with her and Adrianna and when Bonnie arrives she tells Caroline that the "necklace" drama is all over and that she threw it in a field. Unfortunately, Caroline found the necklace in Bonnie's bag and 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 overreacted, Caroline apologized to Bonnie. Suddenly, Caroline has the idea to have a séance to see what Emily wants from Bonnie. During the séance, the foursome start to get scared when a breeze blows through and the candles begin to flicker. The candles flicker some more and Bonnie decides it's enough. She throws the necklace down and yells at them to get the lights.

A moment later, the necklace is nowhere to be found. Once again, Bonnie and Elena believe that Caroline took it but Adrianna backs up the blonde. Soon, Bonnie sees the necklace on the bathroom floor and enters the bathroom when the door suddenly shuts after her. Caroline, Adrianna, and Elena rush over to help her but they can't seem to open the door. When the door finally opens, Bonnie appears calm and slightly different. Telling them she's fine, Bonnie walks away and tells them that she's going "back to where it all began". Adrianna is the one to figure out that Emily was possessing Bonnie and calls out to her, which causes Bonnie/Emily to stop. Bonnie/Emily tells them that she is going to destroy the necklace and that Damon will never get it back.
Bonnie and Caroline leave while Elena calls Stefan and tells him what happened. Damon overhears the conversation and 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 chest. Bonnie/Emily steps in a pentacle/pentagram on the ground and it begins to burn.

Elena, Adrianna, and Stefan show up soon after and Bonnie/Emily tells them the rest of the story. She says that in order to save Katherine, she had to save the other vampires of the town. 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, almost killing her. Stefan then heals her and Elena and Adrianna takes her to their house. Later, Elena explains everything to Bonnie.
Bonnie is later at the school dance with Caroline when she sees Adrianna arrive with Damon and questions her about his presence at the dance. 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.

Later, Ben and Bonnie go on a date and they both seem to be enjoying it. Bonnie decides to call Elena and after a few words of encouragement from her, Bonnie decided to go back and give Ben a kiss. During the kiss, Bonnie gets a strange vibe and discovers that he is a vampire. 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 taken away.
Elena later finds Bonnie lying in the bathtub in the bathroom where she and Adrianna were locked up. They explain 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 the twins and Bonnie.
Once alone, Adrianna asks Ben for a glass of water. Just before she drinks it, Bonnie asks her for a sip and when Adrianna hands it over, Bonnie threw the water at Ben and lights his arm on fire. Ben panics and pats the fire of and just makes it in time to catch Elena before she escapes. Bonnie and Adrianna were forced to close the door and re-enter the room. Stefan soon kicks down the door and opens the curtains, telling the girls to leave. Back at her grandmother's house, Bonnie and her grandmother agree to help open the tomb, thinking this will be the only way to get Damon to leave them all alone.

Bonnie and her grandmother soon begin the ritual of chanting the spell and after a few moments the tomb opens. Damon grabs Elena and takes her as leverage, which causes Bonnie to ask Adrianna why he didn't take her. Anna also arrives to enter the tomb. Bonnie tries to stop her but Grams tells her to let her go in, explaining to Bonnie and Adrianna that the seal has not been broken and that any vampire that entered the tomb will not be able back out. This causes Adrianna to run into the tomb in search of Damon. Bonnie tries to stop Stefan from entering the tomb knowing that he would not be able to come back out but Stefan still goes inside to save Elena.
Bonnie pleads with Grams to help break the seal and Sheila tells her that she may not be strong enough but it might work with Bonnie's help. The two then begin chanting the spell and is able to break the seal for a few minutes, which gives them enough time to escape the tomb.

Bonnie and her grandmother finally arrive home exhausted but 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 grandmother's 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 to better herself in the arts of magic and witchcraft. Later during the Book, Bonnie returned to Mystic Falls, with a newly distant relationship with Elena, Adrianna, and Stefan. Finding Damon and Stefan responsible for Sheila's death, Bonnie has since then grown a bitter hatred towards vampires.
Bonnie returns to town and tells the twins that while she won't make them choose between her and the Salvatores, she still blames them for her grandmother's death. She is angry when she finds out that the vampires escaped from the tomb because she believes that her grandmother died for nothing. Later at the event, Bonnie gives Stefan an aneurysm to stop him from hurting Amber and then tells the twins to just leave her alone.
A few days later, Bonnie is sitting with Caroline discussing the Founders' Day Parade. Caroline mentions that everyone around her is having a fight, including the twins and Bonnie. Even after Caroline's prodding, Bonnie refused to talk about it. Afterward, Bonnie sees the twins at the Grill, visibly upset, but she decided against going to them when she sees Stefan approach them. Bonnie later shows up at the Gilbert House and apologizes before Elena tells her everything.
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 a weapon against vampires. At the Salvatore House, Damon, Stefan, Elena, Bonnie, and Adrianna discuss how they can save Jeremy. Adrianna eventually convinces Damon to give her the device and then Bonnie begins chanting a spell to deactivate it. The twins then hand the device over to Isobel.
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 and Adrianna. Bonnie finally tells Caroline that she did something bad and that she lied to the twins and told them she did something but she didn't. Once they find out, Bonnie tells Caroline that they'll never forgive her.
At the Founders' Day Parade, Bonnie and Adrianna are watching Elena and Caroline on the Miss Mystic Falls float. When Damon interrupts them, Bonnie tells him to leave her alone and begins walking off. Convincing her to listen to him, Damon thanks her for her help in undoing the spell on the device. Before Damon walks off, he tells her that he owes her one.
At the back entrance to the basement, Bonnie tries to stop Adrianna from going into the basement. Bonnie begins chanting a spell that makes the flames low, long enough for Stefan to save Damon. 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 and Adrianna. Bonnie also 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.

## Personality

Bonnie is a good-hearted, 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. She could be considered to be a very spiritual person as she briefly believed herself to be a psychic before discovering her true identity as a witch.

Bonnie was an optimistic person who always chose to see the positive in things. However, 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 Kol. She begins to become a much more serious and even depressive person. She has also shown that she is capable of being withdrawn, martyring, and apathetic. After her Grams dies, she distanced herself from the twins and the rest of her friends in Mystic Falls. Her grief was 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. However, later in the series, she has begun paying more attention to herself and her interests.

Bonnie's most defining traits, as well as her greatest weakness, are her compassion, her selflessness, 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 the spells that she has performed, Bonnie's belief is that it is her duty to protect and help her friends at all costs.

## 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.

Bonnie has a heart-shaped face, with full cheeks and a pointed chin. Bonnie has a very expressive, soulful, dreamy, and beautiful eyes. Having been a cheerleader, Bonnie has a slim yet athletic figure. Bonnie is also rather petite at about 5'3" and she is the shortest between herself, Elena, Adrianna, and Caroline (with Caroline being the tallest).

Bonnie regularly changes her hairstyle. In the early books, she had her hair regularly styled in very tight curls and sometimes soft waves, however, in the later books, her hair is much straighter and the length is somewhat shorter. Her fashion sense 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. 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.

## Powers and Abilities

Bonnie is a very powerful witch, as well as one of the most powerful witches of her family lineage seen. Having discovered her heritage in a relatively short time prior, her powers have developed exponentially throughout the series. Within the span of at least 2 years, she transformed from a simple novice in the art of witchcraft to a nearly unstoppable force capable of taking down the oldest and most powerful supernatural creatures as well as controlling nature to a great extent. This could be attributed to the fact that she descended from a line of powerful Bennett witches that begun with Qetsiyah, an extremely powerful witch responsible for creating the Immortality Spell.
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, such as when she couldn't get three sets of numbers out of her head throughout the day. It 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 to 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. As Bonnie has now reverted back to Traditional Magic, her telekinesis has become weaker but she is still shown to be quite powerful.
* **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. 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.
* **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 intense aneurysms. She currently uses this power frequently.
* **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 Jeremy. The price for this spell, however, was her life, but fortunately, the spell was successful.

## Weaknesses

Due to being linked to the Original Vampire Kol, Bonnie possesses all of his weaknesses.

## Relationships

### Sheila Bennett

"*You are stronger than all of this. I'm so proud of you.*"

*Main Article: Bonnie and Sheila*

In the beginning, Bonnie mentions numerous times that her Grams says she's a witch. At first she thinks her Grams is crazy, but Bonnie then starts to experience inexplicable and supernatural things and finally begins believing that she is a witch. When Bonnie was in the initial stages of learning magic, she would visit her grandmother on the weekends to learn more about magic. 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. Grams helped open the tomb under Fells' Church so that Damon could get Katherine and leave town. After Grams and Bonnie opened the tomb, Grams lied down from exhaustion. However, the spell ended up being too much for her body to handle and she died. Bonnie was devastated by this and began taking witchcraft much more seriously. Bonnie has seen Grams a few more times on the Other Side after her death in which Grams have given the young witch advice and has also expressed how proud she is of her granddaughter.

### Caroline Forbes

"*Ok, I promise. I love you.*"
—Bonnie to Caroline

*Main Article: Caroline and Bonnie*

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 and Adrianna Gilbert, though Bonnie was closer to Elena and Caroline was closer to Adrianna. After Caroline transitioned into a vampire, Bonnie was angry and lashed out at Damon. Eventually, Bonnie's love for her friend overcame her natural dislike for vampires and the two restored their friendship. After the Salvatore Brothers killed Bonnie's mother, she kept the body at Caroline's house and it was Caroline who explained to the Gilbert twins the strain it put on Bonnie being their friend. Throughout the series, Caroline and Bonnie have continually been there for one another despite their disagreements. Bonnie was not very supportive of Caroline's attraction to Klaus, however, she became more accepting after realizing that her situation with Kol was similar to Caroline's with Klaus. Caroline was a bridesmaid at Bonnie's wedding to Kol and Bonnie was a bridesmaid at Caroline's wedding.

### Elena Gilbert

"*You're my best friend, Bonnie.*"
—Elena to Bonnie

*Main Article: Elena and Bonnie*

Elena is one of Bonnie's best friends 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 Grams' death their friendship goes through a temporary rough patch. However, their friendship is later rekindled and their bond is restored. Bonnie was devastated after Elena and Jeremy killed Kol and she harbored a hatred for the pair. After Jeremy's death, Elena turned off her humanity and ruined her relationship with Bonnie after trying to kill her. Elena apologizes for her actions after she turns her humanity back on and the pair make amends and resume their friendship. Elena at first wasn't very supportive in regards to Bonnie and Kol's relationship but she eventually accepted it as she just wanted Bonnie to be happy. She was the maid of honor at Bonnie's wedding to Kol.

### Adrianna Gilbert

"*You are more than just your magic.*"
—Adrianna to Bonnie

*Main Article: Bonnie and Adrianna*

Adrianna and Bonnie have been best friends since childhood. The two have maintained a close bond with each other over the years, despite Bonnie and Elena being closer. After the death of Grams, their relationship is temporarily broken due to Bonnie blaming the twins and the Salvatores for her death. Their relationship is rekindled to some extent, though Adrianna still held some resentment towards Bonnie after she lied about depowering the Gilbert Device which resulted in Damon almost being killed. The relationship between the two is further strained after Adrianna, with her humanity off, repeatedly threatened Bonnie and even attacked her once. Adrianna later apologizes when she turned her humanity on and they made amends. They have remained best friends since. When Adrianna found out that Bonnie had died bringing Jeremy back, she was devastated and felt extremely guilty. She was very happy when Bonnie later came back to life. Adrianna was the only person that knew that Bonnie was in contact with Kol while she was the anchor. When Damon and Bonnie "died" at the end of Book 5, Adrianna was devastated and left Mystic Falls with Kol in order to find a way to bring them back. Once Bonnie returned from the Other Side, their friendship resumed. Bonnie was a bridesmaid at Adrianna's wedding and was present when Adrianna gave birth to her second child.
