You might be wondering if Elena and Katherine are related in some way because they look identical to each other.
However, the answer is a little more supernatural-based than that.
You see, Katherine is from the Petrova family while Elena is a Petrova Doppelgänger.
Now you might be familiar with the word doppelgänger enough to know it means someone you resemble in an eerily similar way without a biological reason.
What you might not know is that a doppelgänger means “double-walker” and is often portrayed as a ghostly or paranormal phenomenon in mythology.
This “twin stranger” is often seen as a harbinger of bad luck.
Damon has interactions and romantic feeling for both Elena and Katherine throughout the series.
Damon and Elena’s relationship faces more struggles than just her feelings for his brother Stefan.
There is that “life-changing” event that happens at the end of season three and the beginning of season 4 (I’m not going to spoil it because if you haven’t seen The Vampire Diaries, you really should!).
What I can tell you is that Elena and Damon do get together and in the Series Final, it was revealed they even had children!
Three of them to be exact.
You won’t be disappointed with this bad boy’s growth throughout the series.
There is nothing that says just because you are immortal you can not learn and grow, and Damon does just that.
