“As a newbie vampire, it’s not always fun because Elena’s experience as a vampire isn’t all fun and games,” Nina says on the Season 4 DVD extras. “It heightened all of her emotions and feelings, which were sorrow and despair.”

The Vampire Diaries returns for Season Five on Thursday, Oct. 3 @ 8PM on The CW.

FYI: Nina is wearing Tkees flip flops, a Stella & Dot necklace, and carrying the Tory Burch Robinson tote. She is also wearing an Aqua cashmere sweater, available exclusively at Bloomingdale’s.
