Challenge 28: Damon


61. Describe a fictional character. Be sure to point out what you do or do not like about the character and relate these attributes to yourself.

Damon Salvatore is a vampire from the TV show, Vampire Diaries. Holding the stereo-typical image of a vampire (ever since the Twilight saga released) he has strikingly good looks and the charm to melt every girl. His raven black hair contrasts with his bright blue eyes and all this beauty is emphasized when he gives his half-crooked smile. With light literally illuminating from him, Damon gets every girl he wants but one, Elena. The fact that he cannot get her motivates him to try harder, which is something very similar to what I do (not that I do that for guys, but just in general - reverse psychology actually works). However, watching him trying to get her is very annoying, especially because she is in love with his brother, Stephen. I hate seeing how weak he makes himself look in front of Elena and this destroys all the previous images I in mind. In the midst of all this, Damon is still very charismatic as he knows exactly what to say, knows how to have fun, and has a very blunt but enjoyable sense of humor. He is always being practical, though it may sound negative. This is something I find myself doing a lot as well, being negative as it is the truth. As the season’s go on, Damon goes from being the antagonist to a hero-like figure. The third season of the show (which is currently on screen), shows Damon going through all the trouble, taking life-threatening risks to rescue Stephen, who is currently under the compulsion of Klaus, an “original” who is a hybrid, a vampire and a werewolf. The extent he is going to save is his brother is inspiring and in the process shows the importance of a family.
