The show revolved around Elena Gilbert, the Salvatore brothers and their friends. They were all immersed in a supernatural world that eventually became their new normal. No matter what they did or where they went they were unable to live a normal life, despite many failed attempts. There were a ton of characters that came and went on the show. Some of them lasted for a long time and others were only on there for a short amount of time.
