Miss on a Mission {Nina/Elena} #28: "She’s a revelation." ~ Kevin Williamson



Welcome to the 28th
NINA DOBREV | ELENA GILBERT
appreciation thread


Nina Dobrev, born Janurary 9th, 1989, in Sofia, Bulgaria, moved to
Canada at the age of two and has lived in Toronto, Ontario since.
From a very young age she showed great enthusiasm and talent for
the arts: Dance, Gymnastics, Theatre, Music, Visual arts, and Acting!
Modeling jobs led to commercials, which then turned into film auditions.
Shortly after, she booked roles in feature films "Fugitive Pieces", "Away
From Her" and the popular television series "Degrassi: The Next
Generation" on CTV and The-N.

Nina loves to travel and has often visited Europe both for pleasure, as well
as competing internationally representing Canada in aesthetic gymnastics.
She enjoys playing volleyball, soccer, swimming, rock climbing, wake boarding,
snowboarding, and horse back riding to name a few.

But above all acting is her passion, and she sees it as an adventure
that has just begun; she believes that the journey and the characters
we create along the way will help us understand ourselves.


Elena Gilbert is compassionate and kind with a smart wit and timeless beauty.
At 17 years old she is fresh-faced, with lovely features,and once swept through
life with the ease of a popular, well-adjusted pretty girl, until she suffered a tragedy:
her parents were killed in a car crash, and now she and her younger brother Jeremy
live with their Aunt Jenna. Most of the time, Elena simply tries to get through the
day with the support of her friends Bonnie and Caroline and her ex-boyfriend Matt.
Elena’s life is brightened with the arrival of Stefan, the mysterious, polite and gorgeous
new guy at school whose past and identity are shrouded in mystery.


"Every role is a challenge. I want to keep doing everything!
I want to try to do things that aren’t similar to one another."
Nina

I love Elena because she has guts. She's strong. She's not afraid to stand up for
herself and what she believes in. She's the most relatable character on the show
and she has a huge heart. She always tries to see the good in people and is
constantly there for her friends and family. She's extremely loyal and passionate and
is always there when someone needs support. I see very similar characteristics
with Nina. Not to mention that Nina is beautiful and extremely talented. She seems
to get along really well with her castmates and she plays both of her roles on the show
perfectly. Alexa


I am a fan Nina because not only is she beautiful and talented, but she seems so
down to earth. Even though she has became very popular within the last year, it is
still obvious she just loves to act and is grateful to be able to do so. Nina seems to
still be a young adult, not a celebrity. I can relate to her, and could see myself simply
hanging out with her because she is fun and kind. infallible love


Good Canadian Girl! I remember first seeing her as Mia on Degrassi: TNG and
really enjoying her character, but of course Ms. Elena Gilbert takes the cake. I'm
so happy she gets to be on such an amazing and popular show. She's a great
character and a total sweetheart. allybubba




I’ve known Nina for a few years, as Mia in Degrassi. I liked her but I wasn’t a fan. Yet.
By then, I wouldn’t imagine her playing Elena. I felt weird about that. But she proved
me and everyone that she was an amazing actress and that she would be the best
Elena we could have hoped for. I’m so proud of her. She made of Elena an amazing
character, and despite the success, she stayed down-to-earth. She’s a pearl. Pauline<3


When I started watching the show I was not too sure about Elena Gilbert, if I was going
to like her as much as I really wanted to, because I love her in the VD books.
Luckily, Elena was a more loveable character than a lot of people expected and more
than people give her credit for. I love her fire and determination to do what she thinks
is right, her courage to just jump in to dangerous situations to help those she cares
about. And what I love the most is that Elena is not just a girl you can push around.
Her love and compassion are really the two most obvious qualities in her, and to top
all of that she is a fun girl given the righ circumstances and company. And now to the
girl who plays Elena, Nina Dobrev. This girl has one of the most adorable personalities
in Hollywood. She seems so down to earth and really sweet to her fans. And I love
the fact that she's not above goofing around in front of all the fans and photographers.
In the beginning of the show I was not the biggest fan of Nina's acting in very dramatic
and emotional scenes, but she quickly improved and proved me wrong. Not only can
she portray sweet Elena with perfection, but she also plays fierce, evil Katherine Pierce,
the exact opposite of Elena, to more perfection than perfection itself. It's just so believable
and her scenes as Katherine are amazing! She juggles the two different characters flawessly.
With time and the right decisions, I think Nina Dobrev will become a superstar with
this kind of talent. MissDK


I think Nina is a gorgeous, talented and funny actress who has given the character
of Elena a new life. I do love book!Elena so I was a little afraid when KW and JP wanted
to change her character around but I feel like Nina has been able to portray Elena
as someone who can be sweet, nice and compassionate but also fiery, fun and who
would protect the people that she loves at moment's notice. When she plays Katherine,
you really feel like there's a completely different person on screen, a sinister person
with ill intentions. Nina is the only person that could have played these two roles with
such beauty and precision! naturellebella

I had so hoped they would explore this relationship more... or at least resolved it in a more satisfying way That makes two for two of my favourite guests dead And Elena with only one parent left

So...my theory on this that will prob NOT be true but just something I was thinking about: I feel like they are 'getting rid' or going to kill most of the family she has...that way if and when Elena turns into a vampire in the future of the show it won't be seen as selfish or have that 'Bella-effect' to it (how she kind of just left her parents to become a vamp). Like i said not saying this is likely but it's my theory on it

So... if Elena isn't already traumatised with the happenings in Mystic Falls, I'm willing to bet money that her vampire birth mother setting herself on fire in front of her will send her on the way...
