Caroline Forbes is the daughter of William Forbes II and Elizabeth Forbes. She is a vampire. Prior to her transition, she was known for her insecurities, which caused her to be excessively competitive, mainly with Elena.
Throughout the series, Caroline begins dating Elena's ex-boyfriend, Matt Donovan, who encourages her to become more caring, kind and more selfless. In the Season One finale, Caroline is severely injured in a car wreck and suffers from internal bleeding.
Because Caroline's situation was looking bleak, Bonnie and Elena agree that Damon Salvatore should heal Caroline by feeding her his blood. Later, after Caroline's health has improved, Caroline is smothered to death in the hospital by Katherine Pierce, who was aware that Damon had healed Caroline, and therefore knowingly turned her into a vampire. Katherine plans to use Caroline to her own advantage by manipulating her and eventually giving her to Klaus to kill in the sacrifice. Damon rescues her, however, and the deal made by Katherine is forfeited.
She had attended Mystic Falls High School, where she was the captain of the cheerleader team, honor student, in charge of the dance commitees, Mystic Falls beautification committee, head of recycling program, Go Green campaign, Miss Mystic Falls, and one of the most popular girls in the school.
Caroline's new vampire nature adds difficulty to her relationship with Matt and this eventually causes them to break up despite their love for each other. Matt's friend, Tyler Lockwood, falls for Caroline after she helps him with his first full moon. After a while, she realizes that she's in love with Tyler too, so they begin a romantic relationship. Klaus also falls for her, claiming he fancies her because she's beautiful, strong, full of light and "too smart to be seduced by him."
Caroline is strong and determined, much like her mother, Elizabeth Forbes. She is extremely loyal and protective of her friends. She has a sensitive and loving nature. Despite having a confident exterior, underneath it all, Caroline was very insecure to begin with and upset that she could never say the right thing to make guys fall for her. This tends to make her an overachiever at times, creating flaws and complexities in her character, leading to various matters that factor into her development as she overcomes them. Especially when it came to Elena, as she always felt she was in Elena's shadow, and she seems very jealous of Elena. She considers Elena her competition when it comes to life in general. Over time, she and Elena grew much closer, and Caroline overcame these insecurities and became confident in herself.

Caroline (to Matt) : "Do you ever feel like there's no person in the world who loves you?"
Caroline (to Elena) : "A lesbian friend necklace?"
Caroline (to Bonnie) : "He's just a washed up jock, who serves drinks for a living."
Caroline (to Matt) : "Big problem, Matt. Because you took the next step, all by yourself. You played the whole thing out in your head and you decided to bail before even give it a shot. So this really great thing that we had, don't worry about losing it, because it's already gone."
Caroline: (to Damon) "You manipulated me, you pushed me around, abused me, erased my memories, fed on me. I have a message from Katherine. She said, 'Game on."
Caroline: (to Stefan) "Bonnie hates me. And what about Matt? I'm a murderer, a monster."
Caroline: (to Bonnie) "So, I don’t get to choose the ring I have to wear the rest of my life?"
Caroline: (to Stefan) "So you're saying that now I'm basically an insecure, neurotic control freak on crack?"
Caroline: (to Stefan) "Why are you looking at him with your serious vampire look? You know, it's different from your worried vampire look. Neither of which strays far from your Hey, it's Tuesday look."
Caroline: (to Liz) "You`re gonna pretend to be a mother?"
Caroline: (to Elena) "I can't go home, because I'm scared. Katherine's going to be there and she's gonna want me to tell her everything that happened today. She told me I had to spy on you and report back to her."
Caroline: (to Liz) "Good news. Doctor Damon said that the vervain is almost out of your system."
Caroline: (to Liz) "I'm going to take you home. You're going to forget that I'm a vampire. You'll remember you got sick with the flu. You had a fever, chills and sickness, but I made you soup. It was really salty. We bickered. You got better, and then your selfish little daughter who loves you, no matter what, went right back to ignoring you. And all was right in the world."
Caroline: (to Damon) "He thinks he blacked out. But I think … I think they were both compelled by Katherine. And that’s why I covered for Tyler and said it was an accident."
Caroline: (to Tyler) "Breaking and entering the Sheriff’s house? That move will win you an award."
Caroline: (to Tyler) "I know this sounds crazy, but alcohol helps. Or, at least it helps me. You know, with all that inside jittery stuff."

Caroline: (to Stefan) "I'm okay. I'm not girly little Caroline anymore. I can handle myself."
Caroline: (to Tyler) "Do you know what they did to me? No, it's too late, because we're not friends anymore. And what happened to me tonight, that will never happen again. So you take that back to your little werewolf pack, and you get the hell out of my house."
Caroline: "You know, this wasn’t how it was supposed to happen. I was supposed to tell him[Matt] at the right moment, in the right way, and he was supposed to be okay with it because he loves me."
Caroline: (to Matt) "So after I hurt you in the woods, I made you forget. And I promised myself that I would stay away from you … but I couldn’t. Because I love you. I do. I love you, Matt. So much."

Caroline: (to Tyler) "Matt is an innocent, good person who should not be going to dances with evil blood slu2ts."
Caroline: (to Tyler) "First of all, I finally almost got your mom to stop hating me, so I probably shouldn't get caught in some kind of vampire threesome with her son. And secondly, quit hanging out with Rebekah, the evil blood slut."
Caroline: (to Bonnie) "How did he plan a better party than me so fast? Wait, is that a band outside?"
Caroline: "Now it`s just a reminder that, technically, I`m dead. Look, I didn`t even like 17. The only point to 17 was to get to 18. It`s a filler year. I`m stuck in a filler year."
Caroline: (to Elena) "Yeah, he's not here. He was already discharged. And she seems perfectly nice by the way... a little intense, maybe. But... I think it's sweet, you wanna make sure, Alaric's not dating a total psycho."
Caroline: (to Klaus) "I get it. Your father didn't love you, so you assume that no one else will either. And that's why you compel people or you sire them or you try to buy them off, but that's not how it works. You don't connect with people, because you don't even try to understand them."
Caroline: (To Tyler) "This is wrong, a bunch of people died and we are having sex"
Caroline: (To Elena) " She's not dead but if you feed on her you will kill her. Look at her Elena. It's April, April Young, she's not a warm body for you to feed on, she's your friend. She is an orphan, just like you . She's scared, just like you were."
Caroline: (To Stefan) "What do you mean "you're not coming"?, I don't need to remind you that your Miss Mystic Falls atendance record totally sucks beside you're a founding family, by definition you have to be here"
Caroline: (To Klaus) "You're perfect just so beyond annoying, I can't even look at you"
Caroline: (To Klaus) "I'm serious, there's something lonely about it"
Caroline: (To Stefan) "Stefan it's me, that little werwolf lost her mind, go to the lockwood cellar and make sure Rebekah's body still there. I'm going to find Tyler. Hayley is trying to screw this up"
Caroline: (To Klaus) "How delusional are you?, You killed his mother, and let's not forget that we are standing in the house where Elena's aunt Jenna used to live, or did you think that your charm will make us forgett how you killed her too?. You know what?, No I'm not going to engage in this, You're not even worth the calories I burn talking to you."
Caroline: (To Tyler) "You freed them Tyler, and people put their faith in you because you are a leader, don't forget that "
Caroline: (To Tyler) "How many times are we going to have to say goodbye?."
Caroline: (To Tyler) "What if we don't? Tell me that you'll never think of me again, tell me that you'll forget about me, tell me that you're going to move on and live a full and happy life without me."
Caroline: (To Stefan) "...Use the sire bond to convince her everything is Ok."
Caroline: (To Elena) "Elena stop it, you are scaring me"
Caroline: (To Tyler) "Hey, it's me look, I hate lo leave this at your voice-mail, but I think that you need to know, Jeremy is dead Tyler, I'm so sorry I tought that you will call, then I could tell you, but you didn't so, just call me whe you get this Ok?, I need you and there is no way that last night was the last time that I ever going to see you or talk you, it can't be just call me Tyler, please."
Caroline: (To Tyler) "Hey Tyler, is me cheking in, Elena is not quite there but I'm working on it, look I know that you can't call me back, but I keep thinking, if I just leave these messages whe you do come home, it will be like you never left, well that's the hope, well I better go, I love you tyler."
Caroline: (To Elena) "Stop! This isn't you and you know it, you hurt my mom Elena! How far are you going to take this?

Caroline: (To Klaus) "I just killed twelve people"
Caroline:(To Klaus) "Oh, but I don't want just another dress. (facing Klaus again) I wanna look hot. Like Princess-Grace-of-Monaco-hot. So... could you please go back into your creepy trophy case of family collectibles and dig me out something of royal caliber?"
Caroline: (To Tyler) "Thank you for the best prom ever"
Caroline:(To Klaus) "Klaus, now is not the time to decide that you are over me. I'm gonna call you every 10 minutes until you get your ass here to save Damon's life."
