about you Name: Aria Gilbert Age: 15–16 (introduced later in the series as their younger half-sister) Traits: Stunningly beautiful — effortless natural beauty that turns heads even in Mystic Falls Charismatic & confident — she knows she’s magnetic and uses it to her advantage Popular & persuasive — everyone wants to be her, date her, or be near her Manipulative (when she wants to be) — plays people like chess pieces but hides it well Emotionally intelligent — reads people deeply, sometimes better than they know themselves Protective of her siblings — would burn the world down if someone touched Jeremy or Elena Dark charm — innocent on the surface, but there’s something mysterious and powerful underneath Background: Aria was raised away from Mystic Falls after the Gilbert parents’ death and only recently moved in with Elena and Jeremy. Unlike them, she wasn’t traumatized by loss in the same way — she came up strong, unapologetic, and confident. She walks into Mystic Falls High and instantly becomes the "it girl" without even trying. What people don’t know? She has a supernatural connection even she doesn’t understand yet — maybe a dormant psychic gift or a tie to a powerful bloodline. And beneath all the popularity and beauty is someone with a very specific endgame — she always gets what (or who) she wants… and there’s usually more at play than just charm.
