Sawyer was Elena's older sister. She was a senior in high school. She has had many boyfriends but seems to break up with them over a month or so. Elena has been spending a lot of time with the new guy Stefan and Jeremy is on a mission to prove his love for some girl that got bit by a animal. She feels alone especially because her parents have just died not to long ago. And now the two people she loves the most can't see her pain.
Sawyer may be the most popular girl in school. Also the prettiest but that doesn't mean she doesn't feel alone. Her friends don't understand. She only acts like she is fine because then Elena and Jeremy feel like they are happy. She acts strong for her younger brother and sister.
