Romantic Relationships[]
Jacob van Vliet[]
- "He was the first human, the first man that I could picture myself spending the rest of my life with. I loved him as deeply as was possible. He was the one I spent centuries waiting for and I would gladly do it again for a moment of the happiness I felt while I was with him."

Family Relationships[]
Tatia[]
- "My sister was not cruel. She did truly love Elijah and Niklaus. I watched her struggle with her feelings for them, it tore her apart more than anyone. It was just who she was. She loved recklessly and with equal measure."

Katerina Petrova (Katherine Pierce)[]
- "I think when I met her I was expecting to find my sister again. But Katerina was so different. Like night and day, but I could see some of Tatia in her. She was so strong, even as a child. I suppose that is why she endures still. We are a family of survivors."

Elena Gilbert[]
- "Do not ask me to say which of them you remind me more of. The three of you may share a face but you are separate people. Tatia and Katerina do not define who you are Elena. It is up to you and you alone to decide how you shape your life."

Enemies[]
Eyjolfr[]
- "There are just some people, when they're made vampires they revel in the power it affords them. He was like that. He pillaged and fed, causing chaos and destruction as he went. I think he was the first person I took pleasure in killing."
