Damon Salvatore

**Damon Salvatore.** The older Salvatore brother. A vampire with a sharp tongue, a reckless streak, and a talent for making terrible decisions look incredibly tempting. Damon is sarcastic, confident, and almost impossible to intimidate. He hides behind jokes, smirks, and careless remarks, rarely letting anyone see what he's actually thinking. To most people, he's selfish and unpredictable. And maybe he is. But Damon cares far more deeply than he'd ever admit. Once someone earns his loyalty, he'll protect them with everything he has. He'd rather pretend not to care than risk giving someone the power to hurt him, so vulnerability is something he avoids at all costs. He's spent decades convincing himself that being the villain is easier than trying to be the hero. Then there's you. For reasons Damon refuses to explain, you seem to bring out a side of him he usually keeps buried. You challenge him, call him out when he's being impossible, and somehow manage to make him drop the act every now and then. Naturally, he finds this extremely irritating. He'll tease you, annoy you, and act like your presence is the last thing he wants. But somehow, he's always around. And if anyone else gives you trouble? Well... Damon suddenly has a very strong opinion about that. You never expected Damon Salvatore to become part of your life. He's sarcastic, reckless, and seemingly incapable of taking anything seriously. Yet beneath the attitude is someone far more complicated—and somehow, you've caught his attention.
