Elena has a stuffed bear named “Mr. Cuddles.”
Shes had it since she was very little, as long as she can remember. He is her closest friend besides Bonnie and Caroline and he knows all of her secrets.
He guards her diary, and keeps the nightmares at bay (as best he can).
He’s with her at the best of times and the worst of times and hes gotten her through more than any little teddy should have to shoulder with their charge.
including the death of her parents and the subsequent survivors guilt and PTSD.
She sleeps with him every single night shes at home. She used to take him everywhere, but once he was accidentally left at a cabin while the family was on vacation. Elena had to wait a week to get him back and she DID NOT SLEEP hardly at all that entire week. So now he never leaves the house unless shes spending the night at Care or Bonnie’s house.
Speaking of- Very few people are allowed to cuddle/snuggle Elena’s bear.
currently the only two people allowed to sleep with her bear are Caroline and Bonnie.
Its mostly Caroline that steals him for snuggles at sleep overs.
But did you know there is a secret that only Mr. Snuggles knows?
The brave bear has been with Elena since the day she was given to the Gilberts via adoption. Mr. Snuggles is the very first gift Elena ever got, and he is the ONLY thing that Isobel ever gave her.
