BIO.

elena will be written as close to canon as possible ( her canon bio can be found here ! )

elena has been very content with her life since taking the cure.

she’s found her happily ever after with damon ! the two of them got married not long after elena woke up from her coma.

shortly after getting married, damon and elena were blessed by the universe with their daughter stefanie, whom they can thank matt for the chance to get to know and adopt when she was just 8.

a year after they adopted stefanie, elena and damon began fostering a young wolf named octavia, and after two years of fostering, they had grown quite attached to her and officially adopted her when she was 15.

elena has chosen to join the masquerade because she wants to be able to protect her daughters, but she also just wants the supernatural world to exist in peace.

( elena & klaus . )

       It was Klaus’ fatherly duty to ensure that Hope’s coronation went off without a hitch and with the extended invitation towards the resistance, he was even more on edge than usual. Klaus was ensuring to observe each and every guest carefully, determining their intentions for the evening so that he could step in and prevent any ill intent, but for now there seemed to be a tranquillity to the atmosphere, or as much as their could be at a celebration. 

       With a bottle in hand, the hybrid sauntered over towards his next conversational victim before extending the bottle towards them. 

       ❝ Here ❞ he mused nonchalantly a brow perking at the taken aback response he received ❝ don’t look so surprised, I am capable of possessing my courteous moments. This is a Mikaelson celebration after all and I can’t have a guest empty handed. ❞ ​

       the last place that elena expected she would end up is a mikaelson party, but she wasn’t exactly going to complain about having received an invitation to hope’s coronation. she’d long ago sworn off any ill feelings she had towards the mikaelson family and hoped that they would have done the same for her in return. 

the familiar voice in the distance was one the surprised elena, but she found herself turning towards klaus with a genuine smile plastered to her features. ❝ i can definitely say that you offering me a drink isn’t a sight i expected to see tonight. ❞ elena teased softly, taking the bottle gently. ❝ thank you. ❞

( elena & ruby . )

       Ruby hadn’t had any intention of being at the coronation.  The last thing she wanted to do was spend a night having to avoid being touched by a bunch of the so-called Queen’s people while she pretended to be the least bit invested in the coronation.  But as it turned out, when the invitation was issued the Guard were more than a little enthusiastic about encouraging people to attend.  And the one who waited outside her apartment door didn’t leave much doubt that he was going to stand there until she agreed to come with him.

       So she donned a dark dress, her usual opera gloves and a pair of low heels and gestured for the wolf to lead the way.  Ruby’s would go, but she also intended to leave as soon as it was safe and sensible to do so.  Stepping inside the compound, she barely dodged someone carrying a drink. ❝ Sorry - excuse me. ❞

       having known hope for years, elena hadn’t hesitated to accept the tribrid’s invitation. she figured it was the least she could do given the history that she had with the mikaelson family. plus, her daughter was here and it was a chance for her to check in with octavia without suspicion. rounding the corner, elena gasped when she practically ran into another. immediately, the brunette found herself bursting into an apology. ❝ i’m so sorry! i didn’t spill any on you, did i? ❞

[clcnasalvatorc]

( elena & hope . )

       ❝ Isn’t it pretty? ❞ Hope ran her hand over the back of her throne, luxuriating in the feeling of the glittering fabric under her fingers. ❝ They did such a nice job putting this together…well, the second place did.  I think they were motivated by how I broke every finger of every employee from the first place when they tried to pawn substandard crap off on me. ❞ She gestured. ❝ See the Mikaelson emblem?  Perfection.  And those two chairs on either side are for Mom and Dad, of course.  This is our dynasty.  Our legacy.  Our city. ❞

       Turning back to the person she’d been addressing, Hope beamed. ❝ Here I am rambling.  What was it you wanted? ❞ ​

       ❝ it is most definitely a statement piece. ❞ elena spoke softly as she approached the tribrid, taking in the sights of the décor before her. ❝ i’m glad to hear that the second place seemed to take a hint. messing with a mikaelson is a mistake i learned to stop making years ago. ❞ the hummed, a soft laugh slipping past her lips as she did so. when asked what it was that she had wanted, elena just shook her head. ❝ nothing specific. to say congratulations, mostly. ❞ despite the fact that she didn’t fully support the decisions that hope was making, she had known the girl far too long to completely outcast her.

❝ i’m sorry i’m late. ❞ - Josie

❝ bio mom, twin sister, or boyfriend? ❞ elena teased, looking up from her phone as she watched her niece move towards her. ❝ or shall i take a guess as to which one has chosen to occupy your time today? ❞ her words held no malice and were completely playful, as they usually were when talking to josie. // @sacrificialsiphon

( elena & corey . )

       ❝ You and me both ❞ Cordelia mused softly, before a fleeting sigh eased from her lips ❝ I was so young when I had Raven, that I don’t really remember much about life before becoming a mom. ❞ The witch continued to listen to her friend, nodding in concentration before turning to face Elena with a soft expression ❝ that’s understandable. If it was me, i’d have reservations too but our girls are all at an age now where they’re responsible for their own decisions. They’re growing up and we have to take a step back. No matter how impossible that feels. ❞

       elena listened as corey explained how she didn’t remember much of her life before having raven and she just offered her friend a nod of understanding. ❝ it’s still weird for me sometimes to realize that stefanie has been ours for ten years and octavia for seven. i remember what life was like before we had them, but i don’t really miss it, you know? i love the life i have now. ❞ she asked with a shrug. 

       as corey explained that they needed to learn to let their girls have some freedom to make choices of their own, elena let a sigh slip past her lips. ❝ i know -- and i want them to be able to make their own choices, it’s just hard for me to step back sometimes. ❞

( elena & xander . )

       ❝ And then some ❞ the vampire teased with a shrug, ❝ it’s better that I don’t interfere with Oak and her shopping trips. I’m just here to carry the bags and tell her she looks incredible in everything ❞ he was joking, of course. Elena’s kindness certainly hadn’t gone unnoticed and a soft smile eased across Xander’s features as he nodded, ❝ actually, that does sound pretty good. Count me in. ❞

       ❝ there is no smarter man than one who knows not to interfere with a woman’s desire to spend his money. ❞ elena hummed in a tone that was completely teasing. ❝ seriously though, your fiancée is lucky to have a man like you. ❞ she told him with a smile. when he agreed to tag along with her to the smoothie shop, elena grinned and nodded towards the door. ❝ shall we? ❞

[clcnasalvatorc]

       continued from here !

       ❝ i’m not sure that i would consider being without humanity fun, but to each their own, i suppose. ❞ the brunette admitted with a shrug. ❝ both of my daughters have chosen to side with you, which has to stand for something. you have managed to earn the trust of both of them, i don’t see why i can’t give you my trust as well. whether or not you offer me your trust in return is a different story. ❞ // @thefirsttribrid​ 

[clcnasalvatorc]

“ can you move? “ ( Klaus )

❝ i popped my knee out of place, i didn't break a leg. ❞ elena spoke in a tone that was harsher than necessary. inhaling a deep breath, the brunette did her best to regain control of her emotions. ❝ yes, i can move. ❞ // @savageantagonist

[clcnasalvatorc]

considering everything you’re dealing with, you’re in line for sainthood at this point. ( Cordelia )

❝ i don't know that i would go as far as to say that i'm deserving of sainthood. ❞ elena admitted with a laugh, shaking her head as she did so. ❝ i just hope that there's some good karma headed my way. ❞ // @sorrowssilhouette

[clcnasalvatorc]

“ who did this to you? where are they? ” (octavia)

❝ it doesn't matter. ❞ elena hummed softly, returning her daughter's embrace as she wrapped her arms around her tightly. ❝ all that matters is that you're here with me now and i'm okay -- for the most part, that is. ❞ // @octaviasalvatore

[clcnasalvatorc]

( elena & corey . )

       ❝ No, you do not ❞ Cordelia teased, before laughter eased from her lips and her smile widened, ❝ I think that they enjoyed it a little too much, but I loved knowing they were up there, you know? I figured people took their kids to work all the time. ❞ Her laughter eventually began to subside and the witch tilted her head as she continued to listen to her friend ❝ I get it, I really do. I definitely need my girls more than they need me anymore, but I guess that’s just what happens when they grow up, right? ❞

       ❝ noted. ❞ elena hummed with a laugh. she knew first hand that some things were just better left unsaid. ❝ take your child to work day was definitely a thing. i just think it was a tad bit more frowned upon in our profession. ❞ she admitted playfully.

       the brunette’s tone fell softer as the topic of conversation returned to her daughters. ❝ i’m a little codependent on my daughters, i’ll admit. ❞ elena spoke with a shrug. ❝ stefanie mentioned the other day that she wants to go back to mystic falls to be with her dad and i have mixed emotions about it. like of course i want her to be with damon, but i also don’t wanna let her go? ❞

[clcnasalvatorc]

( elena & xander . )

       Xander shrugged before grinning at Elena,  ❝ pretty much. ❞ The vampire leaned himself backwards against the countertop, before tugging his fingers through his hair ❝ i’m actually killing time while i’m waiting for my fiancée in the shopping centre ❞ he mused, before chuckling ❝ so I could be here a while. ❞

       elena couldn’t help but giggle softly when he admitted that he was always this kind to strangers. hearing that his fiancée was in the shopping center, her laugh became louder. ❝ yeah, you might be here for a minute. ❞ she admitted honestly. ❝ there’s a smoothie place down the way that i was gonna head to next. that might be a little more entertaining to wait in, if you wanted to tag along? ❞

[clcnasalvatorc]

( elena & austin . )

       ❝ She would love to hear me agree to that ❞ Austin mused, but truth be told he wasn’t in contact with his parents as much as he perhaps should have been. Soft laughter eased from his lips at Elena’s response and he gave a confident nod of his head ❝ yeah, that part usually gets people’s attention. It’s the key to a good nights sleep, but if my boss asks… I didn’t say that. ❞

       ❝ that’s just coming from someone who also happens to be a mother and likes to believe that she knows what’s best for her own children. ❞ elena admitted with a shrug. the brunette couldn’t help but laugh when austin mentioned that long islands usually got people’s attention. ❝ i don’t even know who your boss is, so i think you secret is safe with me. ❞

[clcnasalvatorc]

( elena & austin . )

       A smile lifted the corners of Austin’s lips, followed by laughter ❝ I can’t say i’ve tried the method myself, but my mum swears by it. If that doesn’t work, then i’d suggest a long island ice tea before bed ❞ he taunted. 

       ❝ well if your mother swears by it then it has to be legit. a mother knows best, after all. ❞ elena hummed softly, offering a delicate smile. ❝ a long island, hmm? now that sounds quite enjoyable. ❞

[clcnasalvatorc]

( elena & jordyn . )

       ❝ I just can’t imagine that an oil can do all that much. After everything you learn in med school and these people claim that putting oil on different parts of your body can cure things that medication can barely cure. ❞ Jordyn chuckled softly as she realized the small rant that she just went on. ❝ Oh, uh.. sorry. I guess I’m still catching up on all of the so-called ‘medical advancements’. ❞

       ❝ coming from someone that has been through medical school herself, i completely understand where you’re coming from. if this stuff was such a miracle worker, i’m afraid that i’d be out of a job. ❞ elena admitted with a laugh, shaking her head when the other apologized. ❝ no need to apologize. you’ve been out of touch with the land of the living for a while, haven’t you? ❞
