Lydia Rosette Gilbert. The youngest of the Gilbert siblings. A family known for staying strong and staying together, despite the many tragedies they suffered. That bond never applied to Lydia. She was always second to Elena and Jeremy. Always forgotten by her parents, her friends, and the whole of Mystic Falls. Lydia always knew that something about her was different. She could sense it. But no one ever listened to her when she would voice her concerns. Her siblings have done their best to protect their younger sister after they lost their parents and guardians, but their attempts to shelter her from the cruelties of the world have only isolated her from everyone she loved. They worked hard to keep their lives, filled with vampires and witches, away from her. But all of their work will be undone when she meets Kol Mikaelson and every lie that was told to Lydia is soon uncovered. She just never imagined how deep the lies would go, and how far they would push her into a new family, the Mikaelsons. Republished and edited from my former account.

The story follows the main character Elizabeth Bennet as she deals with issues of manners, upbringing, morality, education, and marriage in the society of the landed gentry of early 19th-century England. Elizabeth is the second of five daughters of a country gentleman living near the fictional town of Meryton in Hertfordshire, near London.

"Anna Karenina" is the tragedy of married aristocrat and socialite Anna Karenina and her affair with the affluent Count Vronsky. The story starts when she arrives in the midst of a family broken up by her brother's unbridled womanizing—something that prefigures her own later situation, though with less tolerance for her by others.
