Elena Giselle Gilbert (**Bulgarian**: **Елена Жизел Гилбърт**) is the main character of *Eleaus*. At the beginning of the series, Elena appears to be a regular human girl, but is then revealed to be a Petrova doppelgänger.

Elena and her younger sister, Star had been struggling to live a normal life ever since Star's dad, Kaleb Brown and Elena's adoptive parents, Miranda and Grayson Gilbert, died in a car accident when Elena was seventeen years old and Star was fourteen. Their life also changed drastically as them and their friends are caught up in the supernatural world that surrounds them and are forced to face powerful supernatural enemies.

Elena was described as a star student. She was popular, sporty, smart, compassionate, empathetic, caring and friendly. She could be very vulnerable and a damsel in distress but during her relationship with Klaus she's become tougher even standing up to and killing Mikael. She's fought his ex-girlfriend, Aurora De Martel forced by Aurora to. She is better at fighting.

Elena is best friends with her younger sister; Star Gilbert, Rebekah Mikaelson, Katherine Pierce, Paisley Haleso, Bonnie Bennett, and Caroline Forbes. She is also close friends with her ex-boyfriends, Matt Donovan and Stefan Salvatore. Her actions and beliefs throughout the series have been most influenced by her on-and-off romantic relationships with Stefan and Klaus as well as by her antagonistic and now friendly relationship with Katerina Petrova.

In Season One, Elena was still coping with her parents' death when she meets a mysterious new student at Mystic Falls High School, Stefan Salvatore. Elena and Stefan fall in love with each other. However, not long after that, Elena discovers that both Stefan and his brother, Damon, are vampires. She also becomes aware of the existence of Katherine Pierce, the woman who turned the Salvatore brothers into vampires in 1864, and to whom Elena bears a striking physical resemblance. In the process, Elena discovers a shocking truth - she was adopted, and her real parents are John Gilbert, her "uncle", and Isobel Flemming, Alaric's wife. Elena finds out Star is her younger sister; from Isobel.

In Season Two, Elena learns that she is Katherine's Doppelgänger, which explains their identical appearance. Because of this, an Original Vampire, Klaus, wants to use her in a sacrifice to break an ancient curse. Despite Elena's and her friends' best efforts, the sacrifice takes place. Her biological father, John, sacrificed his own life to keep Elena alive and human.

In Season Three, Elena and Stefan distant before coming back together, which Elena and Klaus have gotten closer. Elena and Klaus talk at that ball and Stefan and Damon watch them, feeling like somethings changed between Klaus and Elena. Elena and Stefan go to her prom with Klaus, Elena has relationship problems. An old friend stirs up drama and Jeremy is kidnapped. Stefan is feeling hurt by Elena over Klaus and they fight. Elena gets drunks and walks to Klaus' bedroom and they talk. Her sister visits from New York and they talk.

In Season Four, Elena is forced to choose between the two men in her life and the choice she makes will hurt Stefan, she breaks up with Stefan and makes up with Klaus. Elena and Klaus start dating and she is happier with Klaus. Elena has kept her relationship hidden from her friends, Klaus' siblings, and her family. Klaus fakes his death, with the help of Damon, Elijah, and Kol. Elena grieves hard and Rebekah comforts her while grieving herself. Klaus eventually comes back and Elena doesn't forgive him for awhile.

Elena is currently in love with Klaus and is with him after a season long love triangle with Stefan and Klaus. She had her friends guide her way but really she knew the choice was hers only to make so she looked in her heart and who she saw was Klaus and she chose him. She is currently enjoying summer with her boyfriend, friends, family, brother, and sister before season five starts.

When season five starts it will Klaus dropping her and Rebekah off for college, she will be going to her college with Rebekah, Paisley, Kyrie, Nikia, Caroline, and Bonnie. Elena story will drift to focus her in college, brother, sister, niece, and friends instead of boys which maybe for Rebekah or Bonnie it will be a focus. There will be changes in her relationships which may not change everything for Elena and Klaus and people around them.
