Personality:

Lexi is a fun-loving vampire who is probably Stefan's only vampire friend. She approaches life with a sarcastic sense of humor and just enjoys living her life, not brooding about it. She's friendly, easy going and able to control her emotions and cravings. She doesn't feel the guilt most vampires can from their actions, nor does she really show off to act out her vampire side. She's described as being one of the most well-adjusted vampires in the show.

She drinks human blood - she tried to drink animal blood for about 3 weeks but it didn't stick - but only gets it from blood bags these days. Lexi's accepted who and what she is, and sees humans as being equals to her. She can understand the love between a human and a vampire, having had a human - Lee - as her true love that she eventually turned him with his consent. She believes that in the end, love can conquer all and tells Elena just as much to help ease her worries about loving a vampire.

There isn't a lot of explanation about how Lexi was as a human, or her acceptance of being a vampire. She does, however, in teaching control to Stefan, walk him through a tent hospital and ask him about what he feels, and how that he needs to be able to feel the emotions that they had as humans. It shows that Lexi connects her ability to feel - even to feel pain - as something that rises them above a simple vampire. It gives them the ability to understand and connect to the human world instead of distancing from it.

As for her complicated friends-only relationship with Stefan; when she met Stefan Salvatore, she recognized him as a ripper and made it her own mission to help him get control of himself. She knew it would be better for him to learn the control, and could see that there was something more in the vampire worth bringing it out. Maybe it was just her time as a nurse when she was a human, but she wanted to fix Stefan and make him better.

They are both adamant that their relationship never went beyond friends, and never will. Lexi has her lover now, and when she comes to visit Stefan in the episode 162 Candles, she can see how much Stefan is in love with Elena - even if it's creepy to her about how much Elena looks like Katherine. The time they spent together for over a decade has, however, created a deep friendship that has lasted for almost a century. She probably knows Stefan better than anyone - even Damon. It's when they are together that Stefan has shown that he can feel the most like himself, and even smiles easily. She understands what goes on inside of his head and how to bring him out of his funks and bad days. It's a genuine friendship love for him and his well-being, willing to do anything to help him - even at his own expense.

First Person Sample:

[sits in the cafe, pretending to sip a cup of tea. Just watching, carefully waiting for the right moment]

Seriously, Stefan? What were you thinking in wearing that?

[he may be able to hear her, but that doesn't matter. Part of her wonders if he does and is ignoring her]

I mean really, walking around with your fly open like that...

[when he doesn't react and checks, she knows he isn't and smirks to herself. Oh, the fun she could have with him, but then he notices the tail he has and rolls her eyes. Just when things were looking up...

Moving quickly, she grabs his arm and pulls him at least three buildings down the road before stopping to push him up against the wall. She gives him a smirk, like nothing is wrong and they were playing a game of tag]

Hey, sweetheart. Miss me?


Third Person Sample:

It was the fall of 1987, and Lexi had a surprise waiting for Stefan this year. It had taken a long time talking to people in line, trying to play along their minds and see who had those backstage passes that were so rare. True, she could have just compelled the security guards outside of the Garden, but what fun was that?

"Lexi..."

"Shut up, Stefan. We're going to have a little fun tonight. I promise that it won't kill you."

She had left Lee behind with Bree for the weekend, and was dressed in leather and lace to go traipsing around New York City with her best friend who really looked way too pouty in those tight leather pants. Lee, her sweet, sweet Lee; he understood the friendship that Lexi and Stefan shared but only to a point. He was also well aware that while he got her for 364 days a year, for one day she checked up on Stefan and had her fun with him.

"I have the money. We can just buy the tickets."

"But what fun is that, Stefan? I mean, not everyone here really needs to go backstage. It'll be packed. So, two less people, more attention for us."

She walked over, her boot heels making her almost as tall as him for once. "Come on, Stefan. It's just a game. Do you really think I just put you into those leather pants for fun?"

Stefan gave her a confused look, then started to shake his head. "Oh no, come on..."

"The first one to flirt and get their ticket without compulsion gets to buy drinks later." She tapped his chin, and then turned to walk over to a group of guys who were watching her every move. Hearing him sigh, she just looked at her best friend over his shoulder and winked, then added a bit of bounce to her step as the game began.

She did plan on winning, after all. But she would still buy the birthday boy a drink later - just much later.


Other: Since the Vampire Diaries tends to recycle dead characters into flashbacks, there is always the chance for new back story to be inserted. It all takes place in the time period before her canon point in "real time". If/when new back story gets revealed, it will get folded into her memories. If any other powers are revealed in back story, I will ask the mods before assuming she can access them in game.
