"It wasn’t a walk of shame, it was a walk of awesome."
I have to admit. Before season 4 rolled around and set out destroying a very good thing, I would have happily placed Elena Gilbert on this list. As it is, Katherine is taking her place in my heart because despite her bitchiness and her propensity for killing just about anyone, she doesn’t have to fight for her agency; she’s got it in spades. She is manipulative, scheming, a fabulous bitch, and always one step ahead. She embraces selfishness to a degree that I truly respect given society has turned men and women into miserable beings who are so worried about others that their own needs are overlooked. I could rant, but basically I’d like to believe that if I was an almost immortal undead who looked like Nina Dobrev, I’d be a lot like Katherine and have some vampy fun.
Laurie Keller is unabashedly Laurie Keller. What I mean is, she relishes in who she is, despite less than nice comments thrown at her daily by one Ellie Torres. Laurie's unashamed of herself, and she is loud, abrasive, sexually-charged and sweet as candy. She's been knocked down repeatedly but refuses to play the victim and takes most hardships in stride. When she found that she had a passion for baking, she made her dream come true by opening up a store (appropriately) called Krazy Cakes. She holds her own but appreciates the love and support she gets from her family of the Cul de Sac Crew. The best part? She's funny as fuck.
