And yesssss Elena!! I could go on and on about all the reasons I love her, but you pretty much stated them all here. I love that we have a FEMALE CHARACTER with typically FEMALE TRAITS and instead of those traits being seen as a weakness, we're consistently shown that Elena's empathy and bravery and willingness to understand others is part of what makes her so strong.
Also even though she doesn't have super strength, I love that Elena has consistently become more badass as the series go on. Yes, she often still needs her vampire boyfriend(s) to rescue her, but she will claw and fight her way out first.
