Elena Gilbert | The Vampire Diaries

[personal profile] otrazhenie 2017-08-21 12:54 am (UTC)(link)

Elena Gilbert
AGE: 18
HEIGHT/STATURE: 5'7" / 168cm
WEIGHT/BUILD: 120lbs / 55kg, with an athletic build; she's a runner, used to be a cheerleader, and loves to dance
GENDER: Female
RELATIONSHIP STATUS: technically involved with Stefan Salvatore, but also in love with Damon Salvatore
HAIR: Brown
EYES: Brown
ORIGIN: Mystic Falls, Virginia, United States, Earth
LANGUAGE: English

VISION
Elena is young but generally looks like she has her act together. When she gets to choose her clothes, her style is casual, girl next door and sporty, with jeans, t-shirts, converse shoes, but she'll soon be transitioning to somewhat more feminine looks as clothing options allow. Her hair is long and somewhat curled (because what are straighteners in space), and she wears it down and loose usually, with the occasional ponytail.

There's an air of sadness around Elena in the quiet moments, and a grief that is present in every breath she takes. But when she's happy, she can light up a room with her energy, and she's a girl who knows how to let loose and enjoy herself.

SOUND
Her voice has a slightly raspy quality to it. She'll speak formally when the occasion calls for it, but is generally casual while using proper English. Video examples: flirting/chatting, grieving, and yelling. If ever she uses a nickname for someone, it's usually a shortened version of their name, like turning Jeremy into Jer and Caroline to Care.

SCENT
Anyone with overly enhanced senses may be able to pick up the scent of blood on her breath if she's fed recently, but otherwise she'll smell clean and oftentimes of something vanilla-like if she has her choice of bathing accoutrements. For anyone with mystical scent abilities, they may pick up the scent of the outdoors and specifically the lake where Elena drowned.

MISC.
Special diet: Blood! As a vampire, she needs blood to survive, which continues to pose a bit of a problem for her in terms of access to multiple sources.

Sweet girl, why must you smell like blood? He'll get why, just... gift her vanilla scented things and make her tea from time to time.

She loves tea!! She will gladly drink it to hide the smell of blood as much as she can for him.

He'll be so appreciative. I can't wait for their CR to develop! It'd be cute if she called him Gil. He's too formal for his own good and usually prefers Mr. Helyanwe, but there can be exceptions.

Yeeesssss she will totally call him Gil, easy and done. Which reminds me that I owe you a tag so they can actually have CR.
