Jenna Sommers
---- THE BASICS
Character's Full Name: Jenna Sommers
Nicknames and Aliases: None.
Age: 26
Species: Unique (resurrected vampire)
Played By: Sara Canning
Appearance: Jenna is of average height and build. She has long, blond hair she doesn't normally do too much with. She's a casual dresser, normally wearing jeans, t-shirts, and sneakers. She has long-sleeved shirts for warmer weather and various sweaters, jackets, and accessories. She doesn't wear much make-up, typically unless she has a date or something. She has blue eyes and soft features.
Personality: Jenna always seemed like a laid back kind of person, but she usually had a lot on her plate. She was always running around trying to get a million things done with a million more things on her mind. She was oblivious to the dangers surrounding her life and the lives of her niece and nephew. However, whenever she got the slightest suspicion that Elena and Jeremy were getting into trouble, she did her best to crack down and keep them safe.
Now, Jenna has a new level of awareness. Since returning from the afterlife, her memory is a bit unreliable. She remembers very little of her experience in the great beyond, but recently remembered at least that she had died and somehow returned. Now, she's watchful, scared, and suspicious. She's very sneaky, tending to lay low and observe things. She finds going unnoticed is a good way to overhear information. She's protective of her loved ones, particularly Elena, Jeremy, and Alaric, and now that she knows what's out there, she's determined to protect them at all costs.
As a result of becoming a vampire, being killed violently, and being suddenly resurrected, Jenna is a bit unstable. She's not entirely disconnected from her humanity, but she's distanced herself from it a bit. She feels strong attachments to Elena, Jeremy, and Alaric, but she's also afraid to get too close to them. She's not inclined to trust anyone easily, and if you want her help you may have to earn it. She has a lot of anger and frustration built up, and she's not sure what to do with it. She may sometimes come off cold and hostile for no apparent reason.

---- ROLE PLAY SAMPLE
Jenna liked watching the sunrise. It was such a quiet time of day, and the sky lit up so beautifully. There was a time when she avoided the sun, thinking she'd burst into flames if she wasn't careful. She smiled to herself, realizing now how foolish a thought that had been.
She was sitting on the front lawn of her house. Well, it used to be her house, anyway. It belonged to Jeremy and Elena now. And, apparently, Ric. That had been surprising to see, but she was glad he'd stuck around. Elena and Jeremy needed someone looking out for them.
Someone who wasn't a monster.
Jenna watched the sun start to peek through the trees across the street. The neighbors needed to cut their lawn, she realized. It was getting kind of unruly. She glanced over her shoulder at the house when she heard the distant sound of an alarm clock. Elena's. She'd been getting up earlier these days. Jenna wasn't sure why.
She stood, brushing grass off the back of her pants. She'd need to get out of there before someone looked out the window and spotted her. In less than a second she'd disappeared, moving faster for any human to see. She wasn't too crazy about the vampire thing - she still needed to punch that Klaus guy in the face for that - but she had to admit it had its perks.
