How Well Do You Know The First Season Of The Vampire Diaries?

The Vampire Diaries is an amazing TV show that premiered in 2009 and ended in 2017. Indeed, it is hard to believe that eight years have passed since the show first aired. It feels like only yesterday we were watching the first season of the series.

The show consisted of eight seasons but as with most TV shows, people generally believe that season one was the best out off all the seasons released. Thus, it is your knowledge of season one of The Vampire Diaries that we will be testing in this quiz.

If you’re a fan of the show then you have probably seen all of the seasons but we are certain that to this day you can recall the plot of season one without difficulty. After all, season one is where it all began and thus in a way, it is the most important season of the entire show.

So, go ahead and take the quiz to see how well you really know season one of The Vampire Diaries. If you fail this quiz we don’t think you can call yourself a true The Vampire Diaries fan.

Question 1

What is the name of Jeremy's and Elena's aunt who looks after them after their parents death?

When we first meet the main characters – Elena Gilbert and her brother Jeremy Gilbert, we learn that their parents are dead and that they are, in fact, orphans. However, they still live in their own house because their aunt is there to look after them. Therefore, they still go to the same school and they are still surrounded by their childhood friends. So, do you know what the name of their aunt is? We bet that you do so just go ahead and click the correct answer.

Question 2

Where does Elena first meet Stefan?

It is quite obvious that when Elena and Stefan first run into each other in episode one they are both intrigued by one another. Later that same day they meet again, this time at a different location. However, for the purpose of this question we’re only interested in seeing if you can remember the location where they first met. So, do you know where Elena first meets Stefan? Does she meet him in school, in The Grill, the cemetery or Bonnie's house?

Question 3

Which Mystic Falls resident is bitten by a vampire in episode 1 of season 1?

We all knew that Damon was bad news almost as soon as we first saw him. It didn’t take us long to realize that he was nothing like Stefan, who fed on animal blood and avoided hurting humans. Indeed, Damon loved human blood and didn’t care much for human emotions or feelings. So it comes as no surprise that almost as soon as he arrived in Mystic Falls he immediately attacked a human being. Do you know who it was? Did Damon attack Elena, Elena’s brother Jeremy, Elena’s friend Matt or Matt’s sister Vicki?

Question 4

Where do Stefan and Elena have their first kiss?

We were all pretty ecstatic when Stefan and Elena had their first kiss. After all, we could see that they were intrigued by each other and attracted to one another from the very beginning. So we knew the kiss was coming, we just didn’t know when. And when it did happen, we were all very pleased because we knew that Elena’s and Stefan’s relationship was going to evolve even further. So, do you remember where exactly Stefan and Elena first kissed?

Question 5

At the start of the season Damon ends up consistently feeding on which character?

In season one it didn’t take us long to realize that Damon was the bad brother. He fed on humans and he was proud of it. But of course, just because Damon was cruel doesn’t mean he was also careless. He knew that he had to keep his thirst for human blood on the down low and thus he ended up feeding on one particular Mystic Falls resident. Can you remember who it was that Damon fed on? He even had that person compelled.

Question 6

True or False – at the start of the season Matt and Elena are still dating

It was at the very start of the series that we learned that Matt and Elena were not just friends. In fact, we soon realized that they dated. But can you remember whether they were still dating at the start of season one or, in your opinion, had they already broken up? Was meeting Stefan a gentle push that Elena needed to break up with Matt once and for all? Or could Elena embark on a relationship with Stefan with an easy conscience because she was no longer dating Matt?

Question 7

In order to stop Damon from compelling Elena, Stefan gives her a piece of jewelry that contains vervain. What piece of jewelry was it?

It didn’t take us long to realize that vampires have the ability to compel human beings into doing or saying whatever it is they want them to do or say. However, we were also quick to realize that vampires can’t compel human beings if the latter have vervain in them or on them. Since Stefan cares about Elena he gives her a piece of jewelry with vervain in it. This piece of jewelry later protects Elena from being compelled by Damon. Do you know what piece of jewelry it was?

Question 8

Bonnie truly realizes she has supernatural powers when she is able to...

When at first Bonnie’s grandmother tells her that she is a witch, Bonnie doesn’t believe her and even makes fun of the statement. However, as the series progresses Bonnie experiences seemingly supernatural experiences and events which lead her to believe that she does truly have supernatural powers and that she is, in fact, a witch. However, Bonnie only truly realizes that she has supernatural powers when she is able to do what? Lift objects without touching them? Light candles without touching them? Float in the air? Or change her appearance?

Question 9

Elena realizes that Stefan is not human when...

At the start of the series Elena has no idea that Stefan is a vampire. Indeed, she ascribes his strange peculiarities to his unique personality. However, the more she gets to know him the more she realizes that there is something not quite right with him for he doesn’t exactly act very human. But it takes Elena a while to realize that Stefan is a vampire. Can you remember when exactly Elena confirmed her suspicions that Stefan is not human?

Question 10

Who turned Stefan and Damon into vampires?

Vampires are obviously not simply born as vampires – humans are turned into vampires by other vampires. Thus, Stefan and Damon haven’t always been vampires either – at one point in their lives they were human but were turned into vampires. So, can you recall who it was that turned them into supernatural beings? Was it their lover Katherine, their cruel father, their mother, or a complete stranger? In other words, who was it that completely changed both Stefan’s and Damon’s lives?

Question 11

Who is the first person to be turned into a vampire in season 1?

Over the course of the series numerous residents of Mystic Falls are turned into vampires. However, in season one of the show only one person is turned into a vampire – can you recall who it was? Was it Elena’s friend Caroline, Matt’s sister Vicki, Elena herself or Matt? Go ahead and choose the answer you think is correct. As you can probably recall, most vampires feel no remorse for their actions whatsoever even though it means ruining people's lives forever.

Question 12

True or False - the sheriff and the mayor of Mystic Falls know nothing about vampires

Can you recall if anyone in Mystic Falls knows about vampires at the very start of the series? Of course, we know that both Elena and Bonnie eventually find out as to who Stefan and Damon truly are, and so does Jeremy. But does anyone else know or suspect that Mystic Falls is inhabited by vampires? You can probably recall that there have been several “animal attacks” at the start of the series which were investigated by the sheriff and the mayor.

Question 13

True or False – after Vicki dies, Stefan compels Jeremy to forget what has happened

You probably recall that Jeremy was in love with Matt’s sister Vicki at the very start of the series. However, Vicki eventually dies, thus causing Jeremy much sadness and sorrow. Not wanting her little brother to be unhappy, Elena asks Stefan to compel him so that he wouldn’t remember what has happened. So, can you remember if Stefan carries out Elena’s request and compels Jeremy? We’re sure that you know the answer to this question so just go ahead and pick the correct one.

Question 14

What is the name of Stefan’s old friend who comes to Mystic Falls to celebrate his birthday?

In the middle of season one of Vampire Diaries Stefan is visited by his old friend. Can you recall her name? His friend visits him for his birthday and it is through her appearance on the show that we get to see a slightly different side to Stefan. We realize that the always serious and lonesome Stefan can actually be rather fun and sociable. It is obvious that the two are best friends who have known each other for quite a while.

Question 15

Why does Damon kill the Stefan’s friend Lexi?

Unfortunately, Stefan does not get to enjoy the company of his best friend for long. To his horror and sorrow, his brother Damon ends up killing his best friend for seemingly no apparent reason. However, Damon had a very good reason for killing the above friend. Do you know what that reason was? Damon revealed Stefan the reason almost immediately after but as you can imagine, that did little good in calming Stefan down. Indeed, the death of his best friend seriously turned Stefan against his brother for a while.

Question 16

Why did Damon want the Bennett talisman (the crystal)?

During season one of The Vampire Diaries Damon desperately wants to get his hands on the Bennett talisman or the crystal which is in the hands of Bonnie.

Question 17

Why does Elena leave Stefan in a hurry the morning after they first sleep together?

In the middle of season one of The Vampire Diaries Elena and Stefan sleep together. However, the morning after Elena does not stay for very long and in fact leaves without saying goodbye to Stefan. Can you recall the reason behind Elena’s quick departure? Did she leave because she saw Katherine’s picture and realized how similar they look? Did Damon tell her that Stefan doesn’t really care about her? Does she change her mind about Stefan? Or does Bonnie call her and tell her that Stefan is not who she thinks he is?

Question 18

After Damon rescues Elena from being trapped inside her car as well as from the mysterious approaching figure, where does he bring her?

During season one of the series Elena, who is by now aware of vampires and their presence in Mystic Falls, as well as of Stefan’s and Damon’s true nature, is driving when she sees a figure on the road. She tries to stop the car but ends up hitting the figure. Her car flips over and Elena ends up trapped in the car. From her trapped position Elena sees the figure she hit get back up and start walking towards her, clearly with bad intentions. Luckily, Damon saves her. However, instead for bringing her home he brings her on a road trip. Can you recall where they go?

In other words, were Elena’s birth parents the people who raised her in Mystic Falls along with her brother Jeremy – Miranda and Grayson Gilbert – or someone else? We bet that you will have no trouble choosing the correct answer for this question because if Elena was adopted then this piece of information would have been a pretty major plot twist that would have definitely stuck in your head.

Question 21

What is the purpose of the Gilbert compass?

Jonathan Gilbert was a resident of Mystic Falls in the 1800's and was known as a rather mad scientist who invented all sorts of things including the Gilbert Compass. As you can imagine, the Gilbert Compass was not just any ordinary compass and actually had another purpose. So, can you recall what that purpose was? Was the compass’s purpose to detect vampires, to protect the owner of the compass against vampires, to protect the owner of the compass from being compelled or to detect witches?

Question 22

Who is Alaric?

In the middle of season one of the series we are introduced to a new male character whose name is Alaric. Alaric becomes a history teacher at Mystic Falls High School and gives Jeremy a clean slate in terms of his high school career (since the previous history teacher, Mr. Tanner, did not like Jeremy or his attitude to school at all). But can you recall who Alaric really was? Was he a vampire, a vampire hunter, a normal human being with no hidden agenda, or a wizard?

Question 23

True or False – Stefan and Damon’s dad was a vampire hunter

We have already established that Stefan and Damon were not always vampires. In fact, they were both turned into vampires at the same time sometime in the 1800's.

Question 25

Did Damon kill Alaric’s wife?

When we get to know Alaric better we find out that he believes that his wife was killed by Damon. Apparently, he came home one day to find Damon feeding on his wife and then she disappeared. Obviously, this event has greatly changed Alaric’s life and has made him a different man. But did Damon really kill Alaric’s wife Isobel? We’re sure that you’ll have no trouble answering this question so just go ahead and choose the answer you believe to be correct.

Question 26

True or False - Damon rescues Katherine after Bonnie and Sheila lift the curse off the tomb

In season one of the show Damon’s main goal is to bring his lover Katherine back.

So, can you recall whether Damon’s plan succeeds? After Bonnie and her grandmother Sheila lift the curse off the tomb does Damon manage to rescue Katherine?

Question 27

Who asks Anna to turn him/her into a vampire?

At the start of season one of The Vampire Diaries we are only aware of two vampires – Stefan and Damon Salvatore. However, as the show progresses we are introduced to more and more vampires. For example, we are introduced to Anna, a female character who befriends a particular character on the show.

Question 30

What was the name of Elena’s uncle who who was killed by Damon only to mysteriously return to life again?

Towards the end of season one of the show we are introduced to a new character. The new character is Elena’s uncle who seems to know quite a lot about vampires. This knowledge however eventually gets him killed by none other than Damon Salvatore.

However, after Damon killed Elena’s uncle he mysteriously came back to live. Can you recall the name of this uncle?

Question 31

Back in the 1800s whom did Stefan feed on to complete his transition in becoming a vampire?

As we’ve mentioned a couple of times already, both Stefan and Damon were not born as vampires but rather were turned into supernatural beasts sometime in the 1800's. However, as we all know, to fully transition into a vampire one needs to feed on human blood otherwise the transition is incomplete and the newly turned vampire will perish. Initially, both Damon and Stefan chose to die rather than become vampires but Stefan ended up feeding on someone and transitioning into a full vampire. Can you recall who Stefan fed on?

Question 32

Question 33

Who is Elena’s father?

This question is very simple – indeed, it is probably one of the more simple questions on this quiz – but once again the answer here depends on some of your previous answers, namely your answer to the question whether Elena was adopted or not. If you think that Elena was not adopted then you’ll find this question incredibly simple to answer.
