Witches & Magic
Bonnie Bennett
The Anchor
The last Bennett witch, and — through Ayana and, further back, Qetsiyah — the inheritor of the oldest magical line in the story. Across eight seasons she dies, becomes the Anchor to the Other Side, becomes the load-bearing wall holding that entire dimension up, loses her magic three separate times, is stranded in 1994, and has her lifespan tied to whether her best friend gets to be awake.
She destroys Hell in the series finale, channelling every dead witch in her line, alone, on a street corner. And she survives: she and Elena are the two of the three original friends who end the show alive and human — and Bonnie is the one who wakes Elena.
Details
- Her friendship with Damon Salvatore is the most convincing relationship in the last four seasons and neither of them expected it.
- Enzo St. John is her one real love. Stefan kills him, and she nearly ends the world over it.
- Every major spell that holds this world together is either cast by a Bennett or paid for by one — a pattern Legacies eventually names out loud.
