Elena Gilbert, The Vampire Diaries’ Petrova doppleganger-in-distress, and Sookie Stackhouse, True Blood’s seductive southern telepath go head to head…
1. Best quote?
Elena: (To a vampire): “I would say drop dead but…”
Sookie: (On ability to use a gun): “I ain’t that blonde!” (WIN)
2. Best supernatural power?
Elena: Being a doppleganger is pretty underwhelming, simply attracting supernatural nasties into her life and putting her in danger.
Sookie: The ability to summon energy waves from your hands is useful, especially when you have many supernatural enemies. (WIN)
3. Best heroine to know?
Elena: Elena may be loyal, but her friendship is hazardous: her best friend did get turned into a vampire because she was close to her.
Sookie: Sookie too is loyal but she also actually has time for her friends’ problems, and isn’t afraid to tell it straight. (WIN)
4. Best heroine moment?
Elena: Pretending to be an emotionally insecure original vampire’s friend only to stake them in the back.
Sookie: Battering a couple of blood-draining crazy hill-billies with some silver chains. (WIN)
5. Most frustrating heroine moment?
Elena: Everyone being in love with her. She can’t be the only eligible bachelorette in Mystic Falls. (WIN)
Sookie: Getting with a crazy vampire when she wanted to get out of the supernatural world.
Sookie Stackhouse easily wins 4-1. Since the pilot of True Blood Sookie has been leagues ahead of Elena. Sookie’s strong-willed and has held her own against Vampires and Werewolves without any super-strength, something Elena has fallen short on.
