The Vampire Diaries is a popular supernatural TV series that first aired in 2009. It was based on a novel series written by the writer L. J. Smith (Goodreads). The show ended in 2017, after the release of eight seasons and 171 episodes. Fans of the series are without doubt aware that this enthralling show focuses on humans, vampires, werewolves, witches, ghosts and other supernatural creatures.
Season one of the series starts with a human girl bumping into a centuries old vampire. They take a liking to each other immediately and naturally start dating. However, their relationship is complicated and the arrival of the vampire's brother does not help in the slightest. He too soon develops a crush on the human girl and a love triangle ensues.
A number of other characters - members of the Town Council (who want to get rid the town of vampires), Original Vampires, sirens, warlocks and creators of Hell - make an appearance throughout the show too, and they all have their own agenda. What follows is an intricate plot full of intrigue, betrayal and of course, plenty of romance.
As far as TV shows go, The Vampire Diaries was incredibly successful. As such, it comes as no surprise that two spin-offs - The Originals and Legacies - have since been created. But let's not complicate matters any further. Who thinks they can name all the characters from The Vampire Diaries?
Name this protagonist.
This character is the show’s protagonist. When we first meet her she is a human girl but in season three of the show she is turned into a vampire.

Name this vampire.
This character was one of the male protagonists of the show. He was a 171-year-old vampire who was born and raised in Mystic Falls. He had an older brother but their relationship was strained.
