the boeken have really confused me and I know that these guys in The Vampire Diaries are just actors and stuff, but since when has Elena been blonde lol?

Well,the boeken are really different from the show, In the boeken Elena is a Blonde and Bonnie's a red head,plus in the toon There are some charecters that have never been mentioned in the boeken and the opposite :)

she's been blonde since forever! the toon is based on the very populair book series. they've changed a bunch of things in the show, but it just makes it that much better and it's still awesome!
