Vampire Diaries Character Guide
Bonnie Bennett is a very powerful witch and one of the main female characters of The Vampire Diaries. Prior to its destruction, she was the Anchor to the Other Side and, until recently, a supernatural huntress. 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, Matt Donovan, Damon Salvatore, and her ex-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 was in a romantic relationship with Enzo St. John before his death.
Bonnie is noted for having many heroic tendencies. She is seen to be very compassionate, empathetic, helpful, very selfless, and self-sacrificing. Bonnie is repeatedly ready to sacrifice herself for her family and friends without any hesitation or a second thought. Luckily, when Bonnie was alive and well, her spell-casting abilities most definitely came in handy when the Originals came to Mystic Falls.
Since gaining the power of Expression, which is considered to be a form of Dark Magic, later on in the series, Bonnie had become one of the most powerful characters in the series. She was able to take down two members of the Original family with much ease. Bonnie was also strong enough to take down the very first immortal being in the world, Silas.
Bonnie attempted to use spirit, Expression, and Dark Magic all at once to bring Jeremy back from the dead. Her Grams warned her that no magic was strong enough to challenge the will of Nature, but Bonnie refused to listen. It was too much for her and while she managed to bring Jeremy back, it killed her in the process.
Qetsiyah, her very ancient and powerful ancestor, 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.
After Markos violently tore his way out of the Other Side with the help of the Travelers, the Other Side began falling apart as his unnatural resurrection unbalanced it. The blood of the last living doppelgängers of Silas and Amara (Stefan and Elena) used in the spell reversed the magic that was holding the Other Side together, which caused the Other Side to begin imploding. This threatened Bonnie with permanent death seeing as she was the Anchor to this supernatural purgatory.
Despite great effort on both her and her friend's part to save the Other Side, it finally was destroyed, and with it, Bonnie and Damon died. Both of them were the last people left on the Other Side as it fell around them. Bonnie spent her last moments with him and finally, their deaths were marked by a white light that surrounded and engulfed them.
Bonnie and Damon found themselves continually reliving the same day for four months. Though Damon retained his vampiric abilities, Bonnie wasn't able to do magic in this unknown dimension that they were trapped in. Certain clues began to arise that suggested that the two were not alone, which culminated in the appearance of Kai, a very powerful witch who was a member of the Gemini Coven , who was imprisoned back in 1994, for the heinous crimes that he committed against his own family. When Kai was about to kill Damon, Bonnie arrived just in time and regained her magic at the prospect of losing the companion she had with her, entrapping Kai within walls of fire and giving Damon the opening to take Kai down himself. Upon capturing Kai, Damon revealed that Bonnie's magic is the key to escaping.
Later on, Bonnie and Damon gain the key to what they need to get back home, which is an artifact that is called the Ascendant. Bonnie and Damon attempt to finally go home and escape the dimension without Kai, however, Kai interferes with Damon and Bonnie's plan. Kai ends up shooting Bonnie in the stomach with an arrow, mortally wounding her. Kai then threatens Damon with an ultimatum: either he takes the Ascendant, goes home, and leaves without Bonnie forever or he chooses to save Bonnie, making him and Bonnie unable to return home. Damon chooses the latter and decides to save a mortally wounded Bonnie with the use of his vampire blood. However, Kai interferes again and Kai stabs Damon with an arrow.
While Damon is attacked by Kai, he begs for Bonnie to escape the dimension without him and Kai, while she has the chance. However, Bonnie chooses to use her magic to force Kai off of Damon, and then throws the Ascendant into Damon's hands, forcing him to go home without her. An upset and distraught Damon ends up looking on at Bonnie in horror at the thought of leaving her behind with Kai. Bonnie sacrifices herself once again and chooses to get Damon back home, saving him from Kai as she is left behind.
As of now, Bonnie has escaped the prison world. At first, she was stuck there with just Kai, who spent his time emotionally, mentally, and physically torturing Bonnie. Kai ended up regaining magic and then escaped, leaving Bonnie alone to die. Bonnie eventually freed herself from the prison world using the power from Qetsiyah's blood from Silas' tombstone.
Following her return from the prison world, Bonnie changes drastically. She also displays several signs of PTSD. With time, Bonnie falls back into her old life, but Kai's guilt leads to him to try to apologize to Bonnie. Bonnie, seeking revenge, eventually imprisons Kai in the 1903 prison world. Following this, Kai frees himself, and as revenge, he links Bonnie's life to Elena through a powerful curse that will keep Elena in a coma as long as Bonnie is alive.
Bonnie was later reunited with Enzo after he was freed from Sybil's control, however upon his tragic death at Stefan's hands, Bonnie's latent psychic abilities resurfaced, allowing her to preserve Enzo's spirit in a newly created dimension.
Finally after regaining her magic and with the support of many ancestral Bennett witches across the centuries, Bonnie is able to destroy Hell and Katherine. This makes Bonnie one of the most powerful witches seen thus far. Additionally, she succeeded in breaking Kai's spell on Elena without risking their lives.
