Biography
- Information on this article is updated through to VD: The Night of the Comet.
Bonnie Bennett is a teenage girl from Mystic Falls, Virginia. She is best friends with Elena Gilbert. According to Bonnie's grandmother (affectionately referred to as "Grams"), Bonnie is descended from a line of witches dating back to 17th century Massachusetts. Bonnie herself however, claimed to have psychic powers.
In September of 2009, Bonnie was driving Elena to school when a crow disrupted her field of view, nearly getting the two girls into an accident. Bonnie was particularly worried about Elena's reaction, given that she had lost her parents in a car accident only four months earlier.
Later at a party, Bonnie decided to test out her psychic impressions on Elena. Though she didn't truly believe herself to be psychic, she did in fact pick up trace memories of a fog-enshrouded cemetery. As it was, Elena had been in the cemetery earlier that day, though Bonnie had no way of knowing that. (VD: Pilot)
The following night, Bonnie had a chance encounter with Mystic Falls High's newest student, Stefan Salvatore. When she shook his hand, she felt a grim foreboding sensation course through her body. (VD: The Night of the Comet)
