Abilities:
+1. Bonnie has the ability of memory manipulation, allowing her to view and alter the memories of others. This also allows her to view and bring forth repressed memories, though it can greatly damage the other person. This ability causes her to adopt the memories of others for a short while, giving her a distorted sense of reality and of her own individuality.
+2. Bonnie also has the ability of elemental manipulation, allowing her to manipulate all the elements, including the weather, around her. This is her strongest ability and, because she is a Bennet witch, Bonnie can manipulate objects that carry or channel the elements. For example, Bonnie can manipulate a hose to spray water on someone, but cannot manipulate it in any other way. This takes more energy and, if Bonnie is emotional, her elemental manipulation becomes uncontrollable and dangerous.

History: Bonnie was born to two parents who showered her with love and affection. However, a few years later, she discovered that her parents were getting a divorce. The young girl could not understand this, believing that her parents were playing a cruel trick on her. Bonnie expressed her dislike of the divorce and although her parents comforted her with the fact that she would always be their little girl, she was not pleased. It became even harder for her when they asked her who she would like to live with. In the end, it was decided that she would live with her father since her grandmother was only a few minutes away. As Bonnie grew older, she would spend more time with her Grams, going so far as to asking her father if she could move in with Sheila Bennet. While he did not agree to this, he still allowed her to spend most of the day with her Grams. It was also during this time that Sheila told Bonnie that she was a special girl with a special gift. Bonnie enjoyed hearing this as it fueled her imagination, causing her to believe that she was a princess or a fairy.

When Bonnie entered her teenage years, she became friends with Elena Gilbert and Caroline Forbes. She loved these two girls very much and enjoyed spending as much time as she could with them. They were your average teenage friends: energetic, friendly, and even a bit eccentric at times. This all changed for Bonnie when, at a school car wash, she first used her elemental manipulation to spray a cheerleader with a hose. To make matters worse, she also set the same cheerleader's car on fire. It was Stefan Salvatore, a mysterious student from Italy, who snapped her out of her trance and, when she came back to reality, Bonnie ran to her grandmother. She asked Sheila what she meant by Bonnie being a special girl and finally accepted the fact that she was a witch. It was exhilarating for her and Bonnie was care-free with her magic, not realizing how serious the subject of witchcraft actually was.

However, the next few months were quite hard for Bonnie. She not only discovered that vampires existed, but that Stefan and Damon were both vampires. Her ancestor, Emily, began to haunt her and when she and Sheila opened the tomb, it resulted in Sheila's death. Bonnie was extremely devastated by this and developed a resentment towards vampires, including Stefan and Damon. She managed to get over her resentment for Stefan and Damon, though Bonnie still has a hatred for vampires in general. Then there was also Katherine, who physically resembled Elena but had a a personality that was exactly opposite to hers.

Recently, Bonnie tried to stop Klaus using the powers of a hundred dead witches. The attempt failed and she felt extremely weak. If it weren't for Jeremy Gilbert, Bonnie may not have been able to handle all of this. Bonnie's life has been difficult, but she has managed to continue to move on with the support of her friends and Jeremy, her new boyfriend. Willing to sacrifice her own life for the protection of her loved ones, Bonnie has become increasingly powerful and will do all she can to protect the citizens of Mystic Falls.
