Caroline Forbes

Caroline Forbes is the daughter of William Forbes II and Elizabeth Forbes, as well as a vampire. Prior to Caroline's transition, she was known for her insecurities, which caused her to be excessively competitive, especially with Elena.

She is best friends with Stefan Salvatore, Elena Gilbert and Bonnie Bennett.

Throughout the series, Caroline begins dating Elena's ex-boyfriend, Matt Donovan, who encourages her to become more caring, kind, and selfless young woman. In the Season One finale, Caroline is severely injured in a car wreck and suffers from internal bleeding.

Damon Salvatore feeds Caroline his blood to heal her later that night Caroline is smothered to death with a pillow by Katherine Pierce, who found out that Damon gave her some of his blood. Caroline is shown to be very strong for her age as a new vampire. Katherine plans to use Caroline to her own advantage by eventually giving her to Klaus to kill in the sacrifice. However, Damon rescues her therefore forfeiting the deal made by Katherine.

Caroline's new vampire nature adds stress to her relationship with Matt and this eventually causes them to break up despite their love for each other. Matt's friend, Tyler Lockwood, falls for Caroline after she helps him with his first full moon.  After a while, they begin a romantic relationship. Klaus also falls for her, claiming he likes her because she's beautiful, strong, full of light and "too smart to be seduced by him".

Caroline is a member of the Forbes Family.
