Oh, and I also try to make her more diabolical/more Katherine-esque because I despise this whole madonna/whore thing they try to do in canon with Elena and Katherine, and I firmly believe Katherine is just what you get when you put her in Elena situations without a support system. It's naive and poor storytelling on the show's part to have Elena not develop a more "kill or be killed" sensibility, and I hate that she has other people do her dirty work for her (the sole exception being staking Rebekah.) She makes other people make the hard choices and then judges them for it, so in fic I try to make her a little more overtly selfish/manipulative/etc.
