Bonnie Bennett

Mind Control

Klaus is being tormented by Silas and accidentally calls Bonnie.

"You might not care for my life, but if I die...." Klaus hissed when Bonnie turned her back on him, reminding her of the consequences of his death, "your mother and all your friends will perish along with me." She paused mid-stride. Klaus saw how she moved her head, indicating she was listening, contemplating. Bonnie's weakness was her unconditional loyalty to her friends. A liability Klaus coveted, but one he intended to exploit to the fullest if it meant his survival.

"Why did you call me?" Bonnie suddenly asked.

"What?" Klaus growled.

When Bonnie turned around, he expected her to argue with him. Still, the young witch kept staring, giving him a chance to explain this bizarre situation. Klaus took a painful exhale. Bonnie stared at his furious glower with an eerie calmness. It hadn't been the first time Klaus had witnessed such quick emotional control. Bonnie diminished the distance between them and lowered her gaze. Despite writhing in agony, Klaus accepted the unspoken challenge. He dragged his body onto the piano seat with muffled grunts. Under Bonnie's gaze that lit with the tension in her rigid muscles, she waited for him to disclose his reasons. Her sudden question made him narrow his eyes when she drew close.

"Why did you come?" Klaus asked instead. The movement in her shoulders was subtle, but Bonnie's expression shited annoyed. As if she missed something or was looking for someone. Klaus scoffed with realization and said in a low voice, "sorry to disappoint you, love, but Silas is long gone."

"Where is he?" Bonnie took a step forward.

"Probably off to torment your pathetic friends for the Cure," Klaus goaded with pettiness to his voice. Bonnie was only here because she thought Silas was. It struck Klaus as odd she would choose her vendetta against the immortal over the safety of her loved ones. Klaus's eyes glinted. "Do you even care about their lives seeing as you're to blame for Silas being here in the first place? You resurrected him, Bonnie. But if you tell me what you have planned, I will aid you in your quest to end him."

"Or I could leave you here to suffer." Bonnie provoked with the same narrow-minded insult. "It's not like you don't deserve it." She never trusted Klaus and saw through his ploys, so Bonnie wasn't susceptible to his manipulations. She orchestrated a plan to deal with Silas instead, and unfortunately, she needed Klaus's help.

Klaus lost his patience with Bonnie's silence and jumped to his feet, using the power reserves in his suffering body fueled by rage. He towered over her, and his face distorted into a menacing glower. Bonnie took a step back, surprised by Klaus's sudden movement. "Before the White Oak pierces my heart, I will hunt your friends down and tear them apart by their limbs! Then as you witness them barely alive, you will watch as I eat their hearts. You will beg they be given merciful deaths, and I will deny them that, leaving you alone to wallow in your guilt."

Bonnie twisted her head, trying to avoid the sudden closeness, and aimed anger. Bonnie didn't cower under Klaus's threat. Instead, when he finished his mad rant, she raised her eyes and calmly asked, "how's the pain in your back?"

Klaus's vicious expression remained until it vanished. His twisted features unclenched, he blinked slowly, and the way his shoulders slinked was all the proof Bonnie needed that Silas's mind control was broken. Klaus was perplexed, and his blue eyes peered into her serious ones, wondering if Bonnie had used her magic. But he hadn't felt the traces of it linger in the air. Klaus blinked, registered what had happened, and whispered, "it's gone." Still shaky, Klaus raised his arms, trying to reach for the stake in his back. Bonnie's nod confirmed his conclusion. "It was... It was never there." With the realization, the sickly glow on his skin dissolved. Silas's mind control was so rooted so deeply into his consciousness he not only convinced Klaus he was dying, but it manifested physically.

"He got inside your head," Bonnie acknowledged. "Just like he got inside mine."

Klaus was speechless, piecing together the reason for Bonnie's taunts and feigned indifference over the fate of her friends. He sighed, this time with frustration behind it. "You distracted me from it," Klaus commented, struggling to say more. He pushed down the urge to thank her. Deep down, he knew Bonnie hadn't done this for his sake, and she would reject his gratefulness like it was dirt. It irritated Klaus to realize it Bonnie didn't care for him. She didn't have to come and help him, but she chose to do so anyway. Which meant Bonnie came here for a reason more pressing than his well-being. Klaus's indifference slipped back in place before he pushed his shoulders back, stating, "you have a plan."

Bonnie nodded. "I can stop Silas."

Klaus smirked. "But you need my help." He circled away from Bonnie, grabbed the crumpled henley he'd discarded, and put it back on. Bonnie leaned against the edge of the expensive leather couch and crossed her arms over each other. She pursed her lips together as Klaus took his sweet time to dress. Bonnie clenched either arm with her hand and sighed. When Klaus finally turned, he brought his arms behind his back with his elbows sticking out at either side. With his torment forgotten, Klaus held an expectant look.

Bonnie voiced her condition. "I need your word that once we defeat Silas, you'll stop hunting my friends, allow Tyler to come back, and leave Mystic Falls for good."

Klaus chuckled at her requests and paced furtively through the expanse of his living room. He felt her eyes on him and quipped, "that's quite the list of demands, love. What makes you think I won't break my word when Silas meets his end and kill you all?" Klaus smirked viciously and watched Bonnie's reaction unfold. Her emerald irises darkened, but her features eventually fell slack after minutes. Since the little witch learned the art of Expression, she'd become better at hiding her true motivations. But Klaus was 1000 years old; he picked apart the subtleties of Bonnie's facade the more he prompted her with his remarks.

"I know Elijah is looking for the Cure. Call him and tell him to stop looking for it. The one Katherine has is fake." Bonnie barely blinked. A force knocked the oxygen from her lungs when her back hit the solid surface of a wall. She stifled a wince. Aftershocks reverberated through her body, and when she opened her eyes, Bonnie found herself caged between a wall and Klaus. He was mere inches from her, and his chest almost touched hers. Dark veins surrounding his eyes rippled.

"Where?!?" Klaus hissed through clenched fangs.

Bonnie glared at him, meeting his tall form with a tilt of her head. Klaus was pushed down by an invisible force. The wooden floor cracked under his knees. Showing his fangs, he growled at her.

"I should-"

"Kill me?" Bonnie snorted. "We already did this before, Klaus. The result will be the same, with me putting you down again. Just stop." Bonnie closed the distance until she was an arm's length away from the struggling hybrid. His bones, repeatedly cracking after healing, sounded through the room. Bonnie secretly enjoyed the vein pulsing on Klaus' forehead. "I don't know the location of the Cure, but it's somewhere safe. I won't risk Silas going through our minds and ruining my plan." Bonnie never broke the intense eye contact. "I want all of this to end. If you can't find the heart to do this without thinking about yourself or the people I care for, then do it for an enemy you know rather than the one you don't." Bonnie pleaded, and finally, there was desperation behind her voice.

Klaus his breathing almost stilled. If it weren't for how his jaw clenched or leered intensified, he almost resembled a statue— filled with hollow bitterness. Such unquestioning loyalty. Dedication at the cost of her mother, grandmother, and her magic within a sparse year. Bonnie Bennett was tragic. Klaus had to force such loyalty from his siblings. All while a frail mortal freely offered that and much more to undeserving cretins. Klaus mused it was probably one of the reasons why he called Bonnie Bennett before anyone else. She would do the right thing and see the bigger picture. Same as when she put him in Tyler's body.

"We have a deal."

the thought of bonnie kicking villains's asses. the thought of bonnie being all sunshine with people who deserves it and being a meanie when it comes to villains.

[autumnevewalker-authorblog]

A great article for many of us who need uplifting for ourselves especially since I'm getting used to being a bigender female. And I'm sure it will not be easy for me.

So far, only two cis female leads were the ones I remember the most: Buffy Summers and Xena. But Bonnie is also someone I believe I found needing her own series, which encouraged me to write about Creole-Americans, African-Americans and many protagonists born of Afro-Asian and Afro-Latin backgrounds.

I am so happy that Hollywood was able to come up with female leads in shows many of us regarding our gender can relate to.

Sometimes I admit I forget about what some people in Hollywood have done for many generations of both young girls and boys before we all grew up to become adults. We often forget that not everyone is against POC artists and creators.

We just need to know where to look.

That being said, let's still make our dreams come true for those after us and those before us.

Message to that part Teen Wolf fandom: If Scott McCall was written the way you claim you want him to be, and love to portray him as in your wildly ooc fics, all your favorites would be dead. Each and every one.

Personally, I'm okay with that. Give me a Scott McCall takes over L.A. series one entitled and violent dead white guy at a time. Throw in a powerful witch in Bonnie Bennett where they are equally badass ride or dies and I'm sat, but you and I both know you don't want a killer Scott. You want a subordinate yes man to kill at a white man's word.

What are your top 5 episodes on both TO and TVD?

This took me some time to put together but if you push me on any of these, I'll probably cave. I haven't rewatched in a while and I feel like I would have to sit down and actually rank them to get a list I feel confident in. A lot of my favorite scenes aren't even in this list because the rest of the episode just doesn't rank high for me. But without further ado, here is my tentative top episode list.

Top 5 Episodes for TVD

5. 1x22 - Founder's Day

Despite how problematic the 'Founder's Day' was (like how they completely disregarded the actual founders. Justice for the Bennetts), Katherine's entrance was done so well. The revelation was a great twist and I love watching people watch this episode for the first time.

It's not higher because everything else was kind of just a normal episode. I love at this point we are getting glimpses of how powerful Bonnie is and Stefan's devotion to Damon. It also begins to build on the mystery of Tyler which was fun. But other than that, it was just a lot of high school drama. Katherine's entrance really made this episode.

This is one that I would probably replace if I rewatched.

4. 6x21 - I'll Wed You In the Summertime /6x22 - I'm Thinking of You All the While

I'm already cheating and combing these episodes, but they are basically just a continuation.

I want to preface this with saying, I hate Matthew Davis more than I can express. I also don't think I like Alaric much in the later seasons. But I did really like him and Jo. This episode was so cute and light and fun. Up until it wasn't in true TVDU fashion.

I loved seeing season 1 Elena again. I will always defend Elena when people get misogynistic with her, but vampire Elena was not my favorite. When she took the cure, I felt like we got the old Elena back. If they hadn't of done that, I probably wouldn't have been sad to see her leave.

We got some really touching moments between Elena, Bonnie, and Caroline, with them getting ready and their goodbye. Bonnie and the feathers had me in tears the first time I watched this episode. We get Stefan torturing Damon with the fact that Damon loves being a vampire, sorry but I loved it. Caroline and Tyler actually talking as friends. Tyler and Liv making me sob. Stefan and Caroline moment. Kai's reappearance was terrible but pretty epic. Bonnie just being an amazing badass. Just all of the chaos was great and Damon faking us out thinking he wouldn't save Bonnie but then ultimately doing so.

My biggest complaint was that Bonnie was so separate from everyone, dealing with Lily with just Matt for back up. Though I do love a good Bonnie/Matt team up.

3. 3x05 - The Reckoning

Surprisingly, this was the first episode I ever saw of the TVDU. I was at a family member's home for a holiday and they had it on and I was hooked. Not only did I love the friendship dynamics in this episode, but the villains were so good. Klaus and Rebekah were unhinged in this episode. It was a great introduction to the best aspects of TVDU.

Stefan fighting the compulsion for Elena is one of the reasons I'll always have a soft spot for Stelena. I loved Matt and Bonnie's friendship in this episode. They were both such selfless people and I loved moments we got of them together. I don't typically like Damon and Katherine, but even their interactions were so funny in this episode.

2. 4x20 - The Originals

Is this cheating?

I always get so excited when I get to this episode because it's time to switch over to The Originals. But come on, we get to meet Cami and Marcel. We get haylijah and klamille's meeting.

It is weird that I almost like it more than the pilot of TO? Just purely for the nostalgia. Also because the pilot removed some of my favorite scenes that I always forget aren't there until I rewatch TO and then i have to go find wherever TVD is streaming.

And then stuff is still happening back in Mystic Falls, I guess.

I could probably also replace this one on a rewatch with a more TVD focused episode but I can't think of any right now.

2x08 - Rose

No one is surprised this one tops the list. Not only is it the introduction of the Originals, but more importantly it's Elijah's introduction. I know I am biased, but this is my favorite episode in TVD and usually the one I start with on rewatches.

I also love Rose and Trevor (RIP). But the tension in this episode is so good and the show struggled to recreate it. They built up Klaus' entrance so much that it was kind of disappointing. Nothing could live up to the hype. But Elijah came out of nowhere. We didn't even know he existed before this episode. He just shows up, all creepy and mysterious, and then just casually comes back to life after being staked in the heart.

I wouldn't change a thing about this episode.

Top 5 Episodes for TO

5. 3x09 - Savior

I'm a sucker for a Christmas episode.

But let's be honest, this is one of the best TO episodes.

We get the trio's reunion, if only briefly. We get Rebekah going mad and trying to kill everyone while dropping some hard to hear truths (sorry Hayley). We get Jackson starting to accept his in-laws. Cute scenes between the Mikaelsons, actually including Hope. Finn helping Freya save their siblings. Freya's first Christmas with her family. Klamille's first kiss. Plus a bunch of drama in the background.

One of my biggest complaints with TO is that it doesn't give us moments of just peace and let them be a family. It is so action packed that we never get to just have a comfort episode. It only took them 3 seasons, but we finally got one (mostly). I mean it ended terribly but I just stop watching before that.

4. 2x01 - Rebirth

This is just Elijah's best episode hands down. And yes I am making this list about Elijah. It's kind of what I do here.

But seriously, he looked so good in this episode and was just so perfect.

I had no idea what to expect out of this episode since season 1 ended with so much up in the air and this episode delivered. So much happened. Elijah being the mastermind while Klaus and Hayley grieved losing Hope. Then them all working together as a team for the first time. And I'd be remis if I don't talk about Elijah's infamous scene of walking into the Guerreras house like he owned it. Also love them trusting Cami to help. Marcel is also in on it. I just love them all working together.

Getting to see Rebekah raising Hope. Marcel and Cami just being hot. But also Cami going to check on Klaus, that scene, the tension. So good. Cami and Elijah talking and then Elijah and Klaus talking about Cami. Perfection. Davina putting Oliver in his place. And then Hayley later doing the same. The introduction of Gia. Even the tension between Elijah and Hayley is so good. I could truly feel all of their grief and desperation. I also love Klaus and Hayley actually talking and Klaus realizing that his scheming is what cost them everything (although he will quickly forget this lesson).

It's another perfect episode. No notes.

3. 4x03 - Haunter of Ruins

I'm honestly surprised an episode from season 4 or 5 is even on this list, but I do love this episode before everything goes to hell.

This episode was another comfort episode.

I clearly loved the amount of haylijah we get. We get our first "I love you" from both of them. Although I headcanon they said it before this. We get them just being super cute and flirty and then super hot. Hayley wearing Elijah's shirt when she runs to check on Hope is so perfect to me. I love the scene of them on the porch. They love each other so much and this episode does a great job expressing it.

We finally get the Mikaelsons all together, even Kol (sorry Finn). I love seeing them behave as siblings in the beginning, bickering. I love how they handled introducing Hope to them and how hesitant they all are, which is so out of character for them, but they have no idea how to interact with a child. Klaus and Hope was so sweet. And Rebekah finally standing up for what she wants and encouraging her brothers to do the same.

My only complaint is Freya and Keelin. I love them because this show is deprived of sapphic representation. But why did they have to make the only sapphic couple's origins be essentially stockholm syndrome. I loved Hayley standing up for Keelin but then Freya just immediately goes after her again. Only thing I would change is how Freya behaved in this episode.

2. 3x22 - The Bloody Crown

May be unpopular, but I loved seeing the Mikaelsons get put in their place. And then I loved Vincent standing on his morals and turning around and put Marcel in his place. Everyone needs accountability.

Marcel awakening as an upgraded Original was so good. We got the return of Rebekah in this episode and she was fantastic. I loved Klaus' trial and I loved Rebekah getting to stand with the enemies (even if it was just the curse/part of the plan). People love to say Klaus didn't deserve it because Marcel was really mad at Elijah, but all of these people were here specifically because of Klaus. They all needed some humbling. Except Rebekah.

I can't talk about this episode without talking about haylijah. The show opens on one of their cutest scenes (we aren't going to talk about the problematic stuff that happened in the episode before). Elijah watching Hayley sleep was adorable. And then we get the scene of Elijah telling Hayley to not grieve him. They break my heart.

2x09 - Map of the Moments

Not surprising, but another Christmas episode.

And no, it's not just because of hayllijah.

I mean, it's not not because of haylijah.

In case you can't tell, my favorite episodes tend to be the comfort episodes. I love the drama, but the reasons I adore these shows are because of bonds. We get to see the Mikaelsons reunite with Hope and actually have some moments of peace together.

There are so many scenes that made me actually laugh out loud. I just adore this episode so much. And yes, I love it because we finally get haylijah getting together, if only briefly.

This was such a fun ask, thank you! What episodes did I miss?

[klonnieshippersclub]

I really wish TVD wasn’t made by a racist coz IMAGINE what a storyline we could’ve gotten out of Bonnie’s witchcraft. Like the Bennett witches did get a good storyline but like they could’ve delved into her ancestry more, like African or creole traditions and stuff and where the Bennett magic hails from and stuff like that.

Imagine if Bonnie was the one who got pregnant by Klaus due to the one night stand and left Mystic falls and ended up in New Orleans. ( I know it would have been very ooc of her but let’s imagine there was a build up with Klaus in S4, they could’ve went from enemies to lovers) With the whole Witches storylines in The Originals, it would’ve made a better storyline and more sense than Hayley getting pregnant out of nowhere.

She could’ve showed up in TO, imagine her and Marcel as a BFF duo OMGGGGGG.

And Hope would’ve been a Bennett witch tribid as well, that would’ve been so interesting.

The Bennett lore is quite unmatched being the foundation of everything. That’s the pro in this and every woman in their line is a witch how badass are those women! The con is how the writers reduced them to servitude other than that I agree. The writers loved the heroic, selfless, courageous, intelligent, and powerful character that Bonnie embodies but they don’t like the black aspect of Bonnie. Which is why the other shows and witches are different variants of Bonnie. Seeing African or creole culture included in the originals would’ve been nice! I know some fans praise TO for how they handled black characters but they were a very small step above the Bennett witches. Kat Graham does have Liberian roots they could’ve done something with that as well.

Not to bash Hayley or Phoebe Tonkin at all but it is a sign of favoritism and white privilege that she showed up after Kat/Bonnie (same for the Originals themselves) and got a spin off and full push that Bonnie or the Bennett’s were never going to get.

I don’t think it would’ve been OOC if Bonnie got with Klaus or any other vampire/villain. Bonnie was friends with all vampires. She wasn’t getting emotional support and always getting the short-stick. That alone would push anyone to snap and find bliss in the darkness. Bonnie’s expression arc was all about her showing that darker side. Bonnie, Abby, Sheila each have tons of unpacked family drama that anyone else would have explored. If Hope was biracial not only would she have a connection to a witch-bloodline there would have to been a plotline to see how Bonnie unpacks her mommy and daddy issues. Least we have fanfics for our girl!

[thebennettdiaries]

after bonnie, which of the bennett women do you find most interesting/like best (i realize that answer might not be the same!)?

In this case, they are the same! After Bonnie, I am a sucker for Sheila Bennett. She is such a badass and I love the whole concept of her --- people thinking she is the eccentric lady on Whatever Street that they tell their kids about. Meanwhile she is a powerful witch who also is a professor. I would have loved to see flashbacks of her when she was younger coming into her powers.

(Lyndie Greenwood as a young Sheila Bennett anyone?)

I also really like the potential of Lucy Bennett and I think it is a damn shame that they killed her off screen instead of allowing Bonnie to have a cool distant cousin she could call when she needed some witchy advice.

[cancerian-woman]

i saw the hellsite post you were referring to yesterday and omg, i have asked why exactly the comparisons are always bonnie vs everyone else? if bonnie is such a basic witch, why is she getting compared to “superior” witches on the “better” shows? notice how these people tend to prefer TO and/or Legacies. TVD is not marvel, why do they get caught up in powerscaling?? It’s a teenage soap opera not dragon ball z 😭

They get very upset when you say you prefer bonnie to any other witch. It’s not normal….

That site pisses me off but I like to piss people off with my various bonnie ships / bonnie fan presence 💀

hellsite = reddit :P

adding this post here for other Bonne/Hope explanations. Lol, everything you said is true. The funny part in all of this is that all witches serve someone and are used as plot devices for protection. The originals were written to be arrogant about their status in the supernatural world and that superiority complex passes onto the fans because those fans are the only ones who start every debate when it comes to power. This franchise does not give a fuck about consistency. The Bennett's should be given more praise and acclaim for their hardwork but Bonnie rarely gets a thank-you from her friends or to speak highly of herself or her relatives outside of Grams.

I love Hope but the arguments are about power but never how the shows treated Bonnie and Hope as an afterthought (one in more ways than the other) A quick way to shut them up sometimes is suggesting that Hayley never should have been Hope’s mother and boom. I do strongly believe Bonnie and Hope would love each other. Bonnie would’ve been one badass mother. Hope could have had a lineage of witches to look up too versus… nvm 🖤

Bonnie Bennett hasn’t graced our screens since 2017 and yet she causes all this conversation. She’s THAT bitch fr a very loved woman in the black women’s fantasy genre. Love that for her.

Early History

Bonnie Sheila Bennett was born on February 5, 1993, to Rudy Hopkins and Abigail "Abby" Bennett in Mystic Falls, Virginia. She is the youngest and last known member of the Bennett family. Sometime when Bonnie was a young child, her mother had abandoned her, after taking down the Original Vampire, Mikael and losing all of her powers, to protect her best friend Miranda Sommers-Gilbert's adoptive daughter Elena, who is a Petrova doppelgänger needed to break Klaus' Hybrid curse. It could be assumed that since her mother abandoned her, that it was her Grams that had raised Bonnie for most of her life. Even though it isn't implied, it appears that her father, Rudy, gave Bonnie Abby's maiden name "Bennett". During Bonnie's early childhood, Bonnie became best friends with both Caroline Forbes and Elena.

During the weeks approaching December 22, 2008, Bonnie is a sophomore at Mystic Falls High School.

Her maternal grandmother Sheila Bennett at one point tried to explain to Bonnie about her witch heritage, although Bonnie dismissed this because she thought that her grandmother was drunk.

Bonnie is repeatedly ready to sacrifice herself for her family and friends without any hesitation. As her powers grew, she's stepped up at every opportunity to protect her friends, even if it meant trading her life in the process. Her spell-casting abilities most definitely came in handy when the Originals came to Mystic Falls. Gaining the power of Expression, she was able to take down two Original vampires, as well as the very first immortal, Silas. Despite the warnings from her Grams, she combined spirit, Expression, and dark magic to resurrect Jeremy back from the dead. While successful, it was too much for her and the spell killed her in the process.

Existing on the Other Side as a ghost, her very ancient and powerful ancestor, Qetsiyah, 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, it began falling apart. His unnatural resurrection unbalanced the Other Side which threatened Bonnie with permanent death. Despite great effort on both her and her friend's part to save the Other Side, it eventually imploded on itself as Bonnie and Damon spent their last moments together. However, Shiela's last act made sure that Bonnie would be fine. Before it's destruction, they were engulfed by a white light.

Bonnie and Damon found themselves back in Mystic Falls. However, they were forced to repeat the same day, May 10, 1994, over and over. Though Damon retained his vampiric abilities, Bonnie was unable to perform magic. Eventually, they learn that this world is inhabited by another, Malachai Parker. When Kai attempts to kill Damon, Bonnie arrived just in time and regained her magic at the prospect of losing the only friend. Bonnie learns that she, rather her blood, is the key to free themselves from the prison world, using a Gemini artifact, called the Ascendant. Sacrificing herself, she sends Damon back to the mortal plane and is forced to endure Kai's torturous pursuit until she's left alone in the prison world without her magic. Reminded by her friends, she travels to Novia Scotia and retrieves Qetsiyah's calcified blood and reclaimed her own magic, freeing herself from the prison world. Her experience with Kai and her time in the prison world, however, drastically changes her. She decides to puts herself first but continues to suffer signs of PTSD, such as being unable to adjust to other people. With time, Bonnie falls back into her old life, but not before imprisoning Kai in the 1903 Prison World. However, he escapes as had Bonnie did, an links her life to Elena's. As long as Bonnie was alive, Elena would be forced to slumber in a magical coma.

With the return of the Heretics, a coven of siphoner-witch, vampire hybrids, Bonnie and her friends eventually turn to the Armory for help. However, in exchange, they want Bonnie to unseal the Armory's vault that was magically sealed by Lucy. Refusing to unleash a monster, Bonnie went into hiding with Lorenzo St. John. Over the course of three years, they developed a romantic relationship. Enzo eventually learned that Armory's anti-magic pills that were helping Bonnie hide from them were also poisoning her, an illness that could not be cured and would eventually kill her. Rayna agreed to transfer her last life to Bonnie. As the spell is completed, Rayna revealed that Bonnie became the new shamanic huntress in her place. After Damon destroyed the corpse of the last shaman, Bonnie's connection to it also broke, freeing her from her duties and abilities as the huntress.

However, her magic did not return, leaving her devastated over the loss of her powers as well as Enzo and Damon being taken by the Armory's monster, Sybil. Bonnie was eventually reunited with Enzo after he was freed from Sybil's mind control. However, upon his tragic death at Stefan's hands, Bonnie unleashed a psychic blast, preserving Enzo's spirit in a newly created dimension. Eventually, she and Stefan fight Arcadius, the Devil himself, which led to Stefan killing him, though Hell was not destroyed — Katherine was its new ruler. Letting go of Enzo, Bonnie can regain her magic. With her magic restored and with the support of her many ancestors across the centuries, they managed to destroy Hell itself and Katherine along with it. Bonnie's eventually able to free Elena from her magical coma, sparing both of their lives. Determined to keep her promise to Enzo, she decided to live her life to the fullest and wanted to see the world and enjoy her life.

At some point after her travels, Bonnie returned to Mystic Falls and opened Nightingale's Gift Shop & Apothecary, a new-age shop that acts as a cover to get rare herbs and information from places she's traveled to.

Sometime after she came home, Damon and Elena approached her because they had fertility issues and wanted her help. She agreed, but her spells yield no results time and time again. This resulted in a fight between them and spoken words that permanently strained their relationship, leading Caroline, Alaric, Matt, and Jeremy - the only ones she speaks to.

In 2024, Bonnie meets a young girl named Harmony when she walks into her shop looking for herbs for a spell. After an insightful conversation (that ended up being spoken in French), Bonnie's had a vision of a younger version of the girl surrounded by angry figures when they shook hands. Upon delivering herbs and donated blood to Salvatore, she ran into Harmony and her sister, Hope - and quickly realized she was Klaus's daughter. Considering her history with the Original Family, Bonnie kept her distance, which soon proved to be a challenge when Harmony came back to her store and asked to be mentored by her. Initially declining, Harmony persisted and did whatever she could to get Bonnie to accept her.

On February 14th, the 6th anniversary of Enzo's death, already having a bad day, Bonnie blew up on Harmony in frustration and stated she'd never take her on because she's selfish like her father. Realizing what she said, Bonnie instantly regretted it but Harmony teleported before she could apologize. Over drinks, Caroline - having heard about what happened - explained to Bonnie that Harmony was different and sought her out because she wanted to be strong. The next day, Bonnie saw Harmony outside her house. Bonnie tried to apologize, but Harmony easily said she understood, rationalizing she realized pursuing Bonnie without explaining herself was selfish. Harmony explained how she hated her family outside her mom, Hope, and her adoptive brother. Having been put through indescribable pain because of their selfish actions and her father's pursuit of power - it only makes sense Bonnie would see her the same way and believe she was threatening her. So to prove to Bonnie otherwise, Harmony used an Incendia spell and lit her hand on fire. Horrified, Bonnie rushed towards her to put out the fire, however, she noted that way Harmony seemed to want to be in pain before extinguishing her hand. Using healing oil coupled with Harmony's healing, Bonnie told her what she did was reckless. Harmony points out that now that Bonnie knows she would rather hurt herself than hurt her, she can teach her. Bonnie describes what she did as a form of emotional manipulation, which Harmony disagrees with as she's an empath and knew she had no intention of using Bonnie's personality to get what she wanted. Hearing this, Bonnie asks why she wanted to be mentored by her and not her Aunt Freya. From there, Harmony explains her life since was 6 from living on the road, being tortured, and discovering she was a reborn soul previously victimized by her family, and her desires to be nothing like them. She also proceeds to explain the situation of her why she hates Freya. When Harmony was learning the information taught by the Mikaelsons, she got curious as to how Esther created vampires. Her intuition allowed her to connect vampirism to Silas and Qetsiyah. After that, it snowballed until she came to learn Bonnie's story. Sick of how pursuing power has led to pain, she chose to not seek it. Learning Bonnie's story and the history of the Bennett and how they shaped Mystic Falls prompted Harmony to want strength...and admitting anyone who tried (and succeeded) to kill her family and fought off hellfire was someone she aspired to be. However, she also stated she wanted to know Bonnie as someone who wields power and strength and might help her stay the worst of the "Mikaelson attributes". While conflicted with the possibility of being dragged back into the Mikaelson family, Harmony's honesty coupled with her obvious self-harming prompted Bonnie to agree to being her mentor with intention of keeping an eye on her. Sometime after this, she had video calls with Vincent Griffith and Ivy Rashid (her witchcraft teacher and Seer mentor) and was paid a visit by Harmony's adopted brother/father figure, Marcel Gerard.

In the following months, Bonnie came to enjoy Harmony's presence, even stating she recognized pieces of the "Old Bonnie" in her. She always answered her questions and gave her the truth, as much as she could. However, this did not come without its challenges - such as the death of her Uncle Finn and the legitimacy of Josette Saltzman, which led to the discussion of Kai Parker and how Harmony believed Jo wasn't telling the full truth on the buildup of the night he killed his siblings. This discussion led to an argument in which she defended Jo and condemned Kai, leading to Harmony spilling some surprising revelations about her goddaughters, Lizzie, and Josie Saltzman. The argument only settled with Bonnie admitting being traumatized by Kai and her actions around it possibly being the difference between everything cultivated at Jo and Alaric's wedding. She had also found herself caught in the middle when Harmony was asking about Klaus's misdeeds in Mystic Falls and Tyler Lockwood, learning how the young girl's Seer Sight had introduced her to the late werewolf and realizing Hayley & the Mikaelsons were actively keeping their connection a secret from her.

In 2023, Bonnie noticed Harmony was distancing herself from her. She later learned of Anastacia, a spirit raped by Kol Mikaelson, and how she periodically ensures her student endures a psychic-mimicry of the attack as a result of her rapist-muderer's family choosing to spare him despite learning the truth. Learning how Harmony deals with the monthly attacks by going to the Old Lockwood Cellar to deal with her attacks, Bonnie begins to become protective of her and helps block the attacks. However, Harmony didn't want her attacks blocked off, explaining that by doing so, Anastacia would be forced to relive her trauma over and over again - and despite it all, Harmony would rather endure it than let her soul carry that pain. While she didn't agree, Bonnie found immense respect for it and tried to help minimize the worst of the physical aspects of the assault. At some point, Bonnie woke up one night to a surge of magic coming through her and knew something was wrong with Harmony. She began calling her, then Hope, and then anyone at the school until she got dressed in a hurry and astral projected to Salvatore - only to find it in disarray and chaos as students were evacuated from the building and all the windows had been shattered. She eventually found Dorian, who led her to Emma, who explained a high-pitched scream erupted out of nowhere and sent a soundwave that shattered the windows. When asked how it happened, Emma directed her to the nurse's office and found a few teachers burning herbal incense over Harmony while she was unconscious. It was revealed Harmony was the one who screamed and Hayley was already on her way to get the twins while the students were being sent to the Lockwood Mansion until repairs were finished. When Harmony and Hope returned, she noticed that the former was having issues staying awake. It didn't take Bonnie long to realize Harmony was dealing with insomnia and forcing herself to stay awake, and immediately took action after Harmony set a teacher assistant on fire after she'd fallen asleep and he tried to wake her up. While remorseful, Harmony refused to say what was happening. But then, she felt a surge of fear and panic one day, and went to Salvatore only to find out something shocking: Harmony had developed a period. Hayley had to come and take her back to New Orleans for a whole week, from which a phone call from Ivy revealed that Harmony was basically holed up in a shack in the bayou because of her unstable emotions until it was over. After she returned, Bonnie wanted to know what happened but didn't press her due to the drastic change she was going through.

During Witch Week at Salvatore, Harmony begged Bonnie to come as she wrote a paper based on a "witch from history she admired". She attended and ended up meeting Hayley Marshall and Freya Mikaleson for the first time - and while she had heard of the former but never met her when she first came to Mystic Falls, she instantly disliked both of them. When Harmony's speech came up, she was touched (but expected) that she chose her. However, she noticed Harmony started bleeding down her leg and gripping her neck before passing out. Rushing up to her and taking her to the infirmary, she, alongside Hayley, Caroline, and the guidance counselor - Emma Tig - watched in horror as Harmony reluctantly revealed in tears bite marks all over her back, another forming right before their eyes. Recognizing them as vampire bites, Bonnie was furious, as well as Hayley, not hesitating in trying to convince Harmony to tell her who was doing this. However, Harmony wasn't saying who did it, with only answering a series of questions that ultimately revealed that a vampire in Mystic Falls was responsible. Bonnie was able to ascertain that it wasn't someone at Salvatore feeding off her.

Eventually, Bonnie and Emma put together that the vampire bites are part of a psychic attack, similar to Anastacia's. With Hayley's input about Ana, Emma theorizes that Harmony was "uniquely sensitive" to victims of sexual assaults, going as far as to say her Empathic senses subconsciously zero in on the victim and she only becomes consciously aware when she meets them or maybe their attacker - making Bonnie quickly realize Harmony came across someone who was victimized by a vampire. After that, she put two-and-two together and realized this vampire attack was likely responsible for Harmony's glass-shattering scream, her insomnia, and the cause of her period. On a day out to lunch at the Mystic Grill, she noticed Harmony stiffen and glance around nervously. Picking up that the vampire had been there, she had taken Harmony out of the building and talked to her. However, she realized Harmony's mannerisms and rambling reminded her of someone ringing a hint, she later visited Emma, who gave her a drawing Harmony made to "show" what happened. She realized the victim was Caroline. Confronting her best friend, she was appalled to hear Caroline confirm the truth and she realized only one person at the time could have done it: Damon Salvatore. Demanding an explanation, she became furious when she realized Elena knew about this and hadn't told her for years. Afterward, she visited the rebuilt Gilbert House and attacked Damon before Elena could do everything. She was stopped by Caroline and Alaric, who suspected she would be there. Enraged, she demanded to know why Caroline didn't even tell her or even get Mom at the time, as they would've done everything to protect her. Caroline admitted it was her choice not to tell her (which conveniently kept her mom on their side) and as a vampire, Damon couldn't hurt her anymore or presently as she keeps his enemies from coming after him and he wants to live his human life in peace with Elena. Following Caroline saying that it was also her choice to forgive him, Bonnie tells her it's not her choice anymore, as her silence made another victim out of Harmony - who already can't get justice from Kol.

Later on, Harmony confides in Bonnie about the truth. She thinks her Seer Sight subconsciously gleaned that Caroline was a rape victim. However, it didn't register until she first met Damon. She explained how she dreamt of being in Caroline's place and woke up in the middle of the assault, however, a hallucination of the Damon of that time followed - leading to her supernaturally, terror-charged scream. Unlike Kol, who eventually appeared a week into her "routine attacks", Damon's hallucination followed her everywhere and taunted her when she was asleep, leading to insomnia. With that, Bonnie pieces together that the Spector of Damon must've been taunting her when she burned that teacher's assistant, triggered by the fact he was a vampire (and once his touch registered as "vampire", she attacked thinking it was Damon). Realizing that Damon's hallucination must've attacked her during her speech at Witch Week, Bonnie comforted the girl who she realized has now been traumatized by two vampires (or former vampires in Damon's case). and told her while Caroline made her choices, it was her own decision to speak out about what happened. Bonnie eventually learned that Damon was banned from the Salvatore school and had a spell cast on him to keep away from Harmony unless she approaches him first. But soon after, she learned Harmony recanted her statement and Bonnie suspected Caroline had something to do with it - a sentiment she shared with Hayley (who she heavily dislikes, and knows wouldn't let the blonde vampire off the hook if she suspected as much). Because of these revelations, Bonnie renounces her friendship with Caroline and tells her that as a consequence of what she did to Harmony, her daughters would not be welcomed in her home. She even tried to stop donating her blood to the school as a result, but Dorian and Emma managed to convince her not to. While it had hurt to distance herself from her twins, Bonnie didn't want to do anything that condoned Caroline's actions and what Harmony experienced.

In 2024, Bonnie took in Harmony's friends, Penelope Park and Alyssa Chang, as her unofficial students when Harmony formed the Midnight Falls Coven. She initially labeled Penelope and Alyssa as "witches up to no good", but quickly understood the foundation of their friendship with Harmony as "witches too smart for their good". Bonnie also agreed with Harmony that the circumstances surrounding the death of Alyssa's parents were suspicious as well as how that information got out before she arrived at Salvatore. Harmony asked for her advice because she wanted to tell Penelope and Alyssa she was a Mikaelson. Bonnie told her to only tell them if she truly trusted them and if they could be trusted back, only to discover they took it in stride and Penelope had already figured it out before being sworn to secrecy. This eventually leads Bonnie to be introduced to Gia, a vampire whose soul was bound to Harmony's violin. Unsurprised to hear of the circumstances of her violent death by Klaus, Bonnie easily helped Harmony improve her boundary spell that allows Gia to be a visible, tangible spirit using crystals. Sometime after this, Harmony started asking if she knew anything about three students who disappeared a year before she enrolled in Salvatore. Identifying them "Diego Garcia", "Jade Wellington", and "Wendy Estrada", a werewolf-vampire-witch trio likely a part of the first graduating class but never graduated - as if they vanished. Considering Bonnie was still traveling at the time, she didn't recall anything. But then, Harmony tells her about the February 19th Massacre where a bunch of Mystic Falls students were killed in the woods, followed by a vision Harmony had in her first year of the three students appeared to have been in detention via barrier spell and - even more shockingly - Josie was the one that freed them. Bonnie asks her what she's implying, to which she thinks the trio might've been responsible for the massacre and Alaric might've done something to them, maybe even killed them. Recalling how she knew that Salvatore was literally on probation that first year by the Town Council, it didn't take much to imagine those deaths would've called for the school to be shut down indefinitely if Alaric and Caroline couldn't control their students. Realizing Harmony was onto something, she asks Harmony to keep this to herself. She doubts Alaric killed them and maybe sent them home if they had families. However, Harmony doubts that and reluctantly admits she, Alyssa and Penelope broke into the school office and found records that with the exception of Wendy, Diego and Jade were orphans. Exasperated, Bonnie tells her that given everything that happened between her and Caroline, while she could believe Harmony definitely stumbled into something, she ends up giving her "blessing" to covertly investigate what happened.

In 2025, with Lizzie and Josie's upcoming 11th birthday coming up, Bonnie helped Harmony find gifts for them since she wasn't attending but was annoyed to hear they excluded Hope from their party. Harmony tells her she's worried because she doesn't trust Alaric to not do something that'll set them off as his one-on-one sessions with Hope already make her a target for their bullying. Acknowledging this, Bonnie tells her that if Alaric was aware of the situation, he'll put a stop to it. However, Bonnie came to regret that as she got a call from Emma on the twins' birthday that Lizzie, Josie, and Hope fought with Harmony. Rushing to the school, she got the whole story of the twins attacking Hope because Alaric brought her there against their wishes and Harmony tried (and got injured) to break up the fight. Hearing that both sets of twins got punished, Bonnie argued that Alaric's extra attention on Hope led to this, dishing everything she's been told. Alaric argues that Bonnie's no better by mentoring Harmony, saying at least he acknowledged both Harmony while she hasn't reached out to Hope. However, she emphasizes that her and Alaric's methods work differently for the Mikaelson twins with opposing views of their family.

After this, she's told of Lizzie's recent diagnosis of Bipolar Disorder but isn't surprised considering the Gemini family history and her experience of sociopathy with Kai. However, Bonnie hears from Harmony and her coven about the contents of Lizzie's (supposedly secret) therapy diary and is appalled, as that shouldn't be public knowledge but became so because Josie was behind it. She warns the trio to not start anything as it became painfully clear to her that Lizzie might not know her diary was outed. While she was proud to hear Harmony put a stop to it, the scenario reminded Bonnie of the last time that sensitive information was leaked (Alyssa's parents), and can't help but think it's no coincidence despite happening twice. She was surprised to learn of Harmony's quotebook she made for Lizzie and the effort she put into it only to hear Lizzie didn't seem to appreciate it but let her know there was nothing wrong with trying.

Before Spring Break of 2025, Bonnie was alerted to a fire breaking out in Harmony and Hope's dorm. After bringing clothes she had for overnight visits, she and Hayley (via astral projection) confronted Alaric and Emma over how the fire started. With the origins of the fire unknown, she - along with Penelope and Alyssa - helped the twins salvage anything from their dorm. She noticed Harmony crying over a pair of destroyed Chinese lanterns and discovered Alyssa made them for her, which Harmony took as a memento of the start of their friendship. Bonnie noticed Hope had a matching pair, to which Alyssa admitted that she thought the twins were behind gifts being left in front of her door during her first months at Salvatore, so she made two pairs of lanterns before finding out it was Harmony as no one would do that for someone who killed her own parents. Later on that week, Bonnie was called by Emma, who alarmingly told her that a video she made with Harmony over Anastacia was seen by the whole school. Trying to figure out how, Emma revealed that the file cabinet it was in had a spell on it that worked to react specifically to her magic. Realizing the only way to bypass that spell was to either lower it or take away the magic completely, it dawned on Bonnie that it was either Lizzie or Josie that broke into it. She arrived at Salvatore, only to find Lizzie was put into a sleep-like state. Bonnie initially thought it was Hope in retaliation for her sister, only to find out she had an alibi. After Lizzie had an episode in her sleep, Bonnie found Harmony in the Old Mill and scolds her for doing that to Lizzie. However, she sees Harmony already regretted it and admits she reacted in anger as she never thought Lizzie would do such a thing to her. Bonnie asks why she even did it, only to be shocked at learning Josie was behind the dorm fire and in Lizzie's irrational reaction - believing Hope did it to ruin her Spring Break - she ended up hurting Harmony instead. Harmony asks her to help her undo the spell, and Bonnie agrees under the condition she apologizes. With no hesitation, she agrees and lifts the spell off of Lizzie. Bonnie confronts Alaric with the truth while having Caroline on speaker, asking how Lizzie and Josie were going to be punished. Angry that Alaric response was to hide the truth, she responds by telling Alaric that Salvatore would not be getting blood donations from her anymore if his daughters were getting protected while Harmony was hurt in the process. She also states that from now on, their relationship is strictly professional in terms of needing her for anything. The incident ends with Harmony breaking off her friendship with Lizzie and Josie, to which Bonnie comforts her. It also prompted Harmony to question Bonnie if Josette Laughlin, the twins' biological mother, was a good person, as this behavior couldn't be all Alaric or Kai Parker - as easy as it would be. Harmony knew sociopaths were made and for all Kai's choices, Josette couldn't have been oblivious to stop him. Understanding what she's thinking, Bonnie assures her that Josette was a good person but honestly replies that even the best people have dark sides they aren't proud of. She even uses Harmony's retaliation as an example, as she knows she tries to be good yet she chose revenge against Lizzie so easily. So Bonnie tells her that everyone makes their bed in the end while living with their consequences, and forgiving these deeds is their choice.

During the summer of 2025, Bonnie kept in touch with Harmony while she dodged Alaric's attempts at reconciliation. She also reconnected with Valerie Tulle, who was currently in London working as a museum curator. Surprised to hear how much has gone on, Valerie commended her for her devotion to putting up with a trio of witches that reminded her of her sisters when they were alive and doesn't judge her for putting Harmony first even at the loss of Lizzie and Josie's relationship. Regaling how her students had a lot of questions about the Gemini Coven and her family, she set up a meeting between Valerie and them - from which the witch-vampire enjoyed immensely and found that Harmony raised some surprising questions that she never thought to ask, warning Bonnie she had her hand full with her. However, she was still worried, and rightfully so, when she learned of what happened to Harmony regarding the Crescent Pack and the Nguyen triplets. In contrast, she didn't have much with Alyssa spending the summer working in her store & having a fling with a new werewolf named Jed while Penelope was exploring Europe with her mom.

When Summer ended in September, the start of the year seemed calm until she learned Harmony fell into a fountain in the Town Square and nearly drowned at the annual End of Summer Party. Once Bonnie learned from her that she felt Klaus's presence as the one holding "her" down and drowning her, she realized Harmony was officially on the path to discovering her mother's time in Mystic Falls. Against her better judgment, Bonnie found herself talking to Matt about this - who while knowing what happened to Tyler in New Orleans, was not happy that his late best friend was Hayley's big ugly secret. Over the next few months, Bonnie watched as Harmony learned about the late Carol Lockwood and grew obsessed with Tyler Lockwood even more. She confided in her worries with Emma, who always suspected this would happen considering the young man was Klaus's tragic yet better counterpart. Harmony was the type to grasp onto anything "good" and "real" in her eyes and most of the men in her life don't fit that ideal. But then, she learned Harmony did a spell on Tyler's tomb that allowed her to see his past pending where he's been. Bonnie tried to warn her of this, but Harmony demanded that she needed to know what happened. In her eyes, Tyler was everything Klaus never was and couldn't be - why exactly did Klaus end up killing his mother? Bonnie ended up calling Marcel, Vincent, and Ivy - warning them that Harmony was on the verge of finding out and knew it was gonna be ugly. But for the most part, as much as they knew how Harmony was going to react, they also knew Hayley was warned this was going to come out and nothing stops Harmony when she's on a trail. Towards the end of November, Harmony disappeared for 24 hours, and surprisingly, so was Matt. Bonnie, Alyssa, and Penelope did locator spells while the others tried to contact Matt, but Harmony was cloaking herself and Matt so they wouldn't be found. That night, Matt called her in a frantic and caught her up to speed: Harmony had found out the truth of the 12 Hybrids and Hayley's involvement. Starting from how she approached him at his home, Matt ended up telling her what he knew about the past, especially when Hayley came onto the scene. Following this, Matt took her to places like the Lockwood Mansion, and the Cellar, and out of town to Whitmore University where Atticus Shane's office used to be. From there, Harmony used her Seer Sight to watch everything play out, even lingering because openly admitted to lying about Hayley's parents being dead - they were in hindsight, but he used another couple and posed them as her parents - after she left his office. As it got late, Harmony thanked him and teleported away. Bonnie realized Harmony might have gone to the sight where the hybrids were killed. When she got there, Harmony wasn't there but Bonnie felt that she had been and smelt fresh blood on the ground. Bonnie had Matt take her to the Cellar, where there was more blood but no Harmony. With one last ditch effort, they traveled to the Town Square which was empty except for Harmony and a fountain that was brought out for the Winter Wonderland fundraiser. Seeing that she was drowning herself, she and Matt pulled her out as the young girl screamed in despair. The next few days were horrible, Bonnie having Harmony stay in her house while forbidding anyone from seeing her. Hayley called, but Bonnie made quick work of telling her that unless she was calling to grovel and say she regretted what she'd done - Harmony wouldn't be taking any calls from her. Hope and her other students couldn't see her either. The entire time, she was consoling Harmony - who had developed a sense of self-hatred and depressed.

After Hayley and Klaus's deaths, Harmony moved in with Bonnie as her legal guardian and changed her name "Harmony Eve Kenner".

Personality

Bonnie was a good-hearted, bubbly, sweet, fun-loving, spirited, and optimistic individual. About other people, Bonnie is described to be kind, warm, sympathetic, caring, compassionate, empathetic, selfless, and self-sacrificing. Bonnie has shown that she makes a very loving, devoted, loyal, and caring friend. Bonnie could be considered to be a very spiritual person and she briefly believed herself as a psychic before discovering her true identity as a witch as well as learning of her witch heritage. However, Bonnie begins to suffer immense grief, loss, pain, and tragedy as well as the losses of people close to her, most notably, her Grams and Jeremy. She begins to become a much more serious and even depressive person. Although she has shown that she is generally an optimistic person, she has also shown that she is capable of being depressive, withdrawn, martyring, and apathetic. After her Grams dies, she distanced herself from Elena and her friends in Mystic Falls.

After years in Mystic Falls and traveling the world, Bonnie grew to become a strong, empathetic, caring women who commands respect and is unafraid to show what she's capable of. These aspects come to point when she became the mentor to Harmony Kenner, the secondborn daughter of Klaus Mikaelson. Rocky at first, Bonnie was quickly able to understand the young tribrid and even acknowledge the parallels the two share.

Powers and Abilities

Bonnie is a very powerful witch, as well as one of the most powerful witches of her family lineage seen. Having discovered her heritage in a relatively short time prior, her powers have developed exponentially throughout the years. Within at least two years, she transformed from a simple novice in the art of witchcraft to a nearly unstoppable force capable of taking down the oldest and most powerful supernatural creatures as well as controlling nature to a great extent. This could be attributed to the fact that she descended from a line of powerful Bennett witches that began with Qetsiyah, an extremely powerful witch responsible for creating the Immortality Spell.

Bonnie has great experiences in Traditional Magic, Spirit Magic, Dark Magic, and its subset, Expression Magic. She is also well-versed in the consequences of breaking Nature's rules and has lost her magic more than once and also regained it just as many times.

Bonnie is the only witch on the to have participated in the creation of two different dimensions, having created a psychic afterlife dimension through her latent psychic abilities and a magical Prison World rooted in Gemini magic by empowering the siphoner witches Lizzie and Josie Saltzman and aiding them in their spell.

• The Anchor

After returning from the Other Side with Qetsiyah's help, Bonnie could interact with those in the mortal plane and the supernatural purgatory. However, she was stuck with having to deal with the recently deceased supernatural creatures that have to pass through her to get to the Other Side. Through a powerful and complex spell, she was capable of bringing the denizens of the Other Side back into the mortal plane through physical contact.

• The Huntress

Upon receiving Rayna Cruz's last life, and becoming the supernatural Huntress, Bonnie gained new abilities. The most prominent ability Bonnie gained was enhanced strength, even more so than that of Rayna before her and any vampire, including the Originals.

Although Bonnie lost the ability to practice magic before becoming the Huntress, her ability to do so did not return. With the Eight Everlastings all deceased, Bonnie lost the abilities afforded to her through her status as the Huntress.

Physical Appearance

Physically, Bonnie is a very beautiful and attractive young woman. Bonnie has a heart-shaped face, with full cheeks and a pointed chin. Bonnie has very soulful and beautiful eyes; She has clear and soft light brown skin with long, luxurious dark brown or soft black wavy hair. Having been a cheerleader, Bonnie has a slim yet athletic figure. Bonnie is also rather petite at about 5'2". Bonnie regularly changes her hairstyle, regularly styled in very tight curls and sometimes soft waves.

Iconic Bonnie Bennett

[shrutithemisfit]

I'm feeling quite emotional now and I'm sure I will be a mess after the finale is over.

Few years ago, when I came across Titans it gave me a vibe of found family which is my favourite trope and I immediately started watching it. I'm so glad I found this show. I saw Anna as Kory and immediately fell in love with her and The Grayson Fam will always hold a special place in my heart.

As much as I loved this show, I also has my fair share of complaints on how things should have went. But, it's a waste of time and energy on things I have no control. So, I will just focus on the positive things.

First, thank you so much to everyone in this fandom who supported me and gave me and others such a wonderful experience with your contents.

I had a bad time with the tvd fandom where I once was a part of a certain ship, but it became so toxic, entitled that I no longer identified with them. This experience made me hesitant to enter a fandom again.

However, I'm glad for joining the Titans Fam, who made me feel welcome, where everyone is equal and everyone's voices are heard. No captain superiority bullshit here.

There might be clashes of opinions, which for me it's normal to what I have been through in the past.

Second, I was so scared for Kory when the show was not doing justice to her. I thought here I go 'another Bonnie Bennett' (trust me her storyline gave me anxiety for every POC characters). I'm glad that didn't happen. She is alive, badass and a powerful Queen and this season she is kicking everyone's ass.

Gar, my cute handsome boy got to shine this season. And, we got Mar'i, Dickkory, Gar and Rachel all together as a family.

I will miss them.

Once again, thank you so much to everyone for your love and support. 💜💙💚🖤

As we continue our journey through the top 31 badass witches in pop culture history, we must celebrate the empowering magic that Kat Graham brought to the character of Bonnie Bennett in “The Vampire Diaries.” Kat’s transformative performance highlighted the importance of casting decisions that reflect the rich tapestry of humanity and the power of storytelling to inspire and empower audiences. Bonnie Bennett’s character became an emblem of strength, resilience, and representation, leaving an enduring legacy for witches in supernatural television.

I have two hot takes:

1. I don't really have issues with Beremy. In fact, I imagine years later Bonnie and Jeremy laugh about dating and take it in stride they were better off as friends than romantic partners (i.e. Jeremy acted like a romantic partner when friends but not really when they were dating). Further more, Jeremy definitely became a badass supernatural vampire hunter and still doesn't hesitate to keep in contact with Bonnie as she grows into a tale-no-prisoners Bennett Witch.

2. In S8, when Bonnie and Caroline went into Damon's head and encountered Shelia, Liz, and Tyler? I will admit it was a cute take, but I don't recognize it. It was Damon's head of all places, not the real people. He might have gotten Sheila right, sort of, but I imagine Liz and Tyler - the real individuals - would not be anything like what the girls encountered. I don't think Liz would ever hurt Liz, but she was clueless as to what Damon was and who she knew. Tyler...that was basically to make us the viewers get over Damon killing him and I think he'd be much worse or pissed off with Bonnie if HE was the gatekeeper of his guilt or whatever. So, I don't recognize it and if Liz and Tyler came back in real life, it would be such a rude awakening.

1. Me personally, when it comes to Beremy, it’s not even the cheating that bugs me. It’s the fact that it seems like a lot of the times, Bonnie seemed more like Jeremy’s babysitter than his girlfriend. Not exactly like how Elena is Damon’s in the later seasons because Jeremy never acted like Damon did, but there was just this power imbalance which is just ugh to me. I wish they stayed friends the whole time. And Jyler and/or Jeranna could date. While Bonnie could’ve been paired up with either Caroline, Damon, or Luka (they were cute early on).

2. When it comes to Liz, I don’t think a lot about it, but it did suck that she came back only to haunt Care.

And Tyler, oh don’t even get me started on that. I love Bamon, but Bonnie defending that man after he killed Tyler. Like even if he was trying to atone or whatever, that doesn’t mean that Tyler isn’t allowed to hate Damon and want vengeance.
