Thanks for writing back. :) And thanks too for being cool about my question. I've got favorite characters who fandom dislikes for strange reasons and when people tell me about their dislike, I'm always "wtf have you even watched the show??" so your patience with my question is pretty awesome.

I think Bonnie turned me off because her dislike was so extreme and heavy, even though she'd gotten to know Stefan before she found out that he's a vampire. Her automatic distrust of Caroline for instance as soon as she found out that Caroline had been turned, even though Caroline had been murderedm she hadn't chosen to become a vampire, and was still Caroline. If Bonnie had grown up fighting vampires, I would have the attitude but she didn't. She didn't know anything about it and came off as very judgmental about stuff she didn't have much insight into.

Yet, anyway.

I don't blame her for disliking Damon or anything, which I know is the reason why some Bonnie haters dislike her. I like Damon as a character but he's DANGEROUS and he only started to change when he realized that that behavior was going to isolate him from the people he loved. When people were letting him get away with it, he had no reason to change. Bonnie's distrust makes sense to me and is a good counter to the passive acceptance of the other characters.

I do like her a lot better now. Most of the characters are a lot more likeable than they were at the start of the first season, imo. Bonnie's development has been one of the most dramatic of any of the characters and I'm looking forward to what happens with her in the future.

Well... again, like, if you think "vampire," your first thought isn't "shiny happy people," it's "merciless killers." I mean, it was sad she distrusted Caroline, but Caroline also killed a guy her first night out, so it's not like Bonnie was wrong to think that she would. And remember, when Stefan and Damon were outed to her, a bunch of people had already died.

For most people, when it comes to vampires, the natural curve is not going from "trust" to "distrust". And I like that Bonnie still doesn't really trust vampires, especially Damon. Like you said, it's a badly-needed counterpart to everyone else, and to me she always has been.
