Clara Gilbert

Clarissa "Clara" Anne Gilbert-Labonair was the former second main female protagonist of The Vampire Diaries. At the beginning of the series, Clara appears to be a regular human girl, but is then revealed to be a Petrova doppelgänger and a seer.

Clara had been struggling to live a normal life ever since her adoptive parents, Miranda and Grayson Gilbert, died in a car accident when she was seventeen years old. Plus the fact that her sister also almost died in that car accident as well. Her life also changed drastically as she, her sister, and her friends are caught up in the supernatural world that surrounds them and are forced to face powerful supernatural enemies.

Clara is best friends with her sister Elena Gilbert, Bonnie Bennett, and Matt Donovan. She was also close friends with Caroline Forbes and Rebekah Mikaelson.

She attended Mystic Falls High School from Seasons One to Four, where she was a cheerleader, honor student, and one of the most popular girls in the school. Clara has a diary in which she writes everything that happens in her life. She was originally turned in this direction by her adoptive mother, who gave Clara her first diary when she was ten.

Clara is one of the last living members of the Petrova Family and a member of the Gilbert Family.
