I read Wonder Woman: Warbringer (100% RECOMMEND)
The main character (Alia) is a Warbringer--a direct descendant of the infamous Helen of Troy, fated to bring about an age of bloodshed and misery.
"Helen's power lay not in her beauty but in her very blood. Her coming of age began an age of conflict. As has the arrival of other haptandrai. Warbringers. Her descendants."
— Diana of Themyscira

After reading that book, I couldn't help but think that the Petrova Doppelgangers were also Warbringers of a kind.
I mean, technically, death and battle do follow them everywhere because of their beauty and charm.
The backstory of the beginning and where the story will pick up in the next chapter (or how Nora Thatcher turned into Elena Gilbert):
Nora Thatcher was 14 when she first watched TVD.
Like every other girl, she simped over the Salvatore brothers and shipped Elena with only Stefan and Damon.
That was until she watched the show again when she was 16 and realised how fucked up the show was and how toxic the fandom was.
POV: You start a show about evil mythical creatures mixed into complex issues with young impressionable teens with messy complicated emotions.
*cries when someone is mean, killed, or harassed*
(Literally Nora in a nutshell)
Salvatore Brothers = Villain.
Mikaelson Brothers = Too much emotional baggage to get through.
Women of TVDU (Except Sybil) = Deserve better.
Especially Sarah Salvatore.
Nora (now 19) was on the phone, ranting to her friend( a firm Delena shipper who wore rose-tinted glasses to ignore the red flags of the Salvatore brothers) about how anyone but Damon and Stefan Salvatore could have treated Elena Gilbert better.
Then out of nowhere a car comes and hits her.
(The driver was drunk and Nora was walking on the sidewalk.)
Nora wakes up in a white place and sees Elena Gilbert.
She rushes over to hug her (obviously).
Elena only smiles sadly at her and says that she wants Nora to take her place and protect her friends and family.
Nora agrees but before she goes, Elena asks if she wants to have some advantages over the Salvatore brothers.
Nora only grins at Elena.
Then the scene shifts to her waking up in a hospital.
Jeremy sees Nora(Elena) awake and hugs her in relief that she survived the accident.
He then tells her that their parents had died in the accident and that Jenna (their aunt) was going to come over to look after them now.
Jeremy is now crying in his sister's arms while she consoles him.
