Kat Graham may have disappointed fans with her recent refusal to return to the character of Bonnie Bennett in The Vampire Diaries universe, but the powerful witch still remains close to fans' hearts to date. Her character was the backbone of the show as well as the Mystic Falls gang, who wouldn't have survived most of their scrapes with evil if it hadn't been for Bonnie.Most fans also agree that she never got her due on the show, which included her snatched happy ending and her use as a plot device most of the time. Memes on the internet manage to sum up her fantastic arc on the show, and add a touch of humor to her story.

Bonnie The Powerful

Bonnie changed a lot from her first episode on The Vampire Diaries, and magic was the main cause. She discovered the ancestral Bennett magic that she had inherited from Sheila and the ancestors, and one of her well-known powers was the ability to change the weather.

She could whip up violent winds, billowing clouds, lashing rain and crackling thunderstorm with some focus and concentration, and some fans can only think of Bonnie chanting her spells when there's a sudden weather change.

Bonnie And Damon's Adventure

Getting trapped in the Prison World was definitely one of the worst things that happened to Bonnie but she actually gained something great out of it. As Elena rued the loss of her boyfriend and best friend, Damon and Bonnie were discovering their retro world, and cultivating a friendship which would last a lifetime.

For once, Bonnie got an important storyline which fans loved returning to, and her quality time with Damon was adorable. It shaped the rest of her arc once they returned, because Damon stayed a true companion who didn't let any harm befall the Bennett witch.

Bonnie And Her Unfair Treatment

The lack of favor shown to Bonnie's character is not a secret in The Vampire Diaries fandom, and Bonnie's dedicated admirers take Julie Plec's bad treatment of the witch very seriously. Bonnie was one of the few POC characters on the show, and she always got the worst storylines, or was abused by her friends as a means to their end.

The writers made Bonnie put up with all kinds of terrible treatment on the show, and even took away her last chance at a happy ending with Enzo. Fans continue to be enraged by this, and this spills into their meme-making practices. She could have been given more interesting plots, and also not forgotten for large chunks of the show, because her existence was what made the town livable and the gang safe.

All Of Bonnie's Deaths

Her self sacrificial nature and immense power made Bonnie the hero of The Vampire Diaries. She gave herself up to bring Jeremy back to life, then became the Anchor to the Other Side to come back. She was dead for a long time with Damon in the Prison World, and even almost died at Enzo's hands, but she always managed to come back.

This was why fans were dismayed and shocked by her first death, but then they learnt to expect her to come back sooner or later. Everyone knew she would save Mystic Falls and that she would return, because the show was nothing without Bonnie Bennett's almost unlimited powers.

Bonnie's Pyrotechnics

The easiest way to know if Bonnie was in the room was by her signature catchphrase. The Bennett witch had skills like no other, and she practiced various types of magic. However, her favorite type was the one where she spoke in Latin, with each spell beginning with the word "Phasmatos."

Fire was Bonnie's go-to, and her fiery magic was always impressive, and quite intimidating to watch. Bonnie's signature chants became her identity, and anyone could identify her from her favorite flame-filled spells.

Bonnie's Heartbreak

Fans of the Bennett witch thought there was hope for her character when she seemed so close to her dream love story with Enzo, but Stefan's cruelty (and little other reason) took that away from her, leaving Benzo shippers heartbroken.

Enzo was one of the few men on the show who deserved Bonnie, and she finally seemed to have got an epic love of her own. Watching her wail over Enzo's dead body is a scene etched forever in viewers' minds, and has become a defining part of her journey on The Vampire Diaries.

The Greatest Witch Ever

Bonnie came a long way since her first forays into magic and spells. Fans reminisce how amazed her and Elena were when she could make feathers float in her bedroom, and how she progressed over the years to become one of the most audacious and skilled witches of her time.

Bonnie Bennett was the sole reason why Mystic Falls was saved, and if it hadn't been for her managing to get her strength back and channel her bloodline to fight Hell Fire right at the end, the whole town and all of its inhabitants were doomed. Her story was a long and successful one. NEXT: 9 Similarities Between Elena & Katherine In The Vampire Diaries
