Katerina Petrova (Bulgarian: Катерина Петрова; English: Katherine Pierce'''), is a vampire who first appears as Katherine Pierce in recurring flashbacks to 1864, which feature her romantic entanglements with damon and stefan salvatore. However, she is now in a romantic relationship with Elijah mikaelson. She managed to turn them both into vampires, but she was concurrently captured by the townspeople of Mystic falls to be destroyed. '''

'''Behind her sweet-natured facade, a much more calculating side of Katherine is revealed through flashbacks in which she escaped certain death with the help of George lockwood (and at the expense of all the other vampires in town) in 1864. After 145 years, Katherine returns to Mystic Falls, toying with the salvatores again but clearly with a hidden agenda. Katherine earns no love after she turns Caroline forbes into a vampire and uses a Werewolf, Mason lockwood, to retrieve a mysterious moonstone. Eventually she is exposed as a doppelganger who has spent her immortal life fleeing from an Original named Klaus.'''
