the पुस्तकें have really confused me and I know that these guys in The Vampire Diaries are just actors and stuff, but since when has Elena been blonde lol?

Well,the पुस्तकें are really different from the show, In the पुस्तकें Elena is a Blonde and Bonnie's a red head,plus in the दिखाना There are some charecters that have never been mentioned in the पुस्तकें and the opposite :)

she's been blonde since forever! the दिखाना is based on the very लोकप्रिय book series. they've changed a bunch of things in the show, but it just makes it that much better and it's still awesome!
