Now I’ve found solid ground
But nothing seems to aid this earthquake state of mind
Look around, slam that round
You know it’s gonna burn all the way down
No, let it go, let it go
You know your feet are right where they are meant to be
All you wanted was to believe
The world may have ended but KAT GRAHAM is still around, actually I think that might be BONNIE BENNETT + 29 from TVD. While the apocalypse might have changed them they’re still HONEST and JUDGEMENTAL, I guess that’s how they’ll survive here. Turns out they came from a universe where SHE’S LEFT MYSTIC FALLS AT THE END OF CANON, who knows what this one will hold for them.
Hola babies it’s C here & this is my angel baby Bon-bon. Brief mentions of manipulation, parental neglect, self sacrifice and ptsd.
She is canon to the end of the vampire diaries IE she left Mystic Falls for good. Seemingly.
Since we last saw Bonnie she’s been travelling the world not because it’s what she promised Enzo she would do but because she promised herself she would get away from all the murder, mayhem and frankly ABUSE she suffered within the confines of Mystic Falls. Her entire linage suffered when they lived in Mystic Falls and Bonnie wanted to be the first to break that cycle officially, in a sense of following her mothers footsteps the only difference is that Bonnie wasn’t leaving behind a child.
Mainly she went around Europe and discovered different covens of witches along the way, ensuring that she kept herself out of trouble with most other supernatural races; deciding it would be better to get back to her roots. Nature & Magik. Eventually she ended up living in Madrid, making a life for herself there as a healer to both the locals and those within the supernatural community.
While everything in Madrid was seemingly light, there was a darker undertone to the community and much like her younger self and the fascination of Shane Atticus, Bonnie once more found herself drawn to the darkness of ancient magik. Over the years she worked her way through spell books, grimoires and her own families history to further influence her magic ability; perhaps for the worse if the spirits had anything to say about it.
Essentially she has been using as many sources of magic as possible without pushing herself to death, though that’s become a normal for her since she was sixteen and she sacrificed herself for the first time at Klaus’s hands. What this means? Bonnie’s highly practiced in EXPRESSION, far more than she ever was back when Shane and Silas were attempting to get their hands on her. More times than not she uses that magic along with what naturally runs in her blood, akin to how she stopped literal hell fire.
Bonnie deals with PTSD as well as self deprecating humor at times. This is mainly due to the constant act of being used for her magic by her friends when she was a teenager, DYING multiple times over, being cheated on and witnessing those she loves die on a multitude of times. Her ptsd also caters into the time she spent in the prison world with Kai, although aspects of it continued on after the fact via the magical disease she almost succumbed to years later as well as becoming a hunter.
Terribly ironically Bonnie has found herself forgiving a lot of negative impact in her life, and those who caused it if only because she can see WHY they did it. The perspective and rational notion of Bonnie has been severely twisted since spiraling down into the use of Expression. For example while she still would rather cut out Kai Parker’s liver with a machete, she understands why he is the way he is and why he’s done what he’s done. Akin to people like Katherine, Silas, Sybil and even Cade.
Present
The only people she’s kept the odd contact with prior to being brought here, were her nieces and Alaric in that same sense, everyone else she cut off completely. As such it’ll be her first time seeing those she left behind.
Underneath all the tainted imagery, Bonnie is still the strong willed girl she was back in Mystic Falls. Family means whomever you make it, whether that’s your actual family or random people you’ve met over your life time. There’s a lot of guilt that she carries about abandoning Josie and Lizzie since they were so young when she left, but she’s chalked it up to the fact that she deserved better than living in a town that held nothing but bad memories and pain for her.
She’s been in Deva for eight months. so take that as you will.
Fun stuff

Honestly for the tvd/to/legacies babies? just FUCK ME UP. Please, I dig all things angst honestly. If you knew Bonnie before she left in canon, feel free to call her out for being a different person or for you know LEAVING HER SUPPOSED FRIENDS BEHIND. Bonus points – if it’s a tvd/to/legacies baddie? come further taint her.
