"The Vampire Diaries exec Julie Plec has declared that she sees Bonnie (Kat Graham) as the &amp;quot;true hero&amp;quot; of the show.  Plec explained that Bonnie&amp;#039;s decision in the season finale to have Klaus (Joseph Morgan) possess Tyler&amp;#039;s (Michael Trevino) body so her friends could be saved marked a &amp;quot;growth&amp;quot; in the character.   &amp;quot;This is Bonnie&amp;#039;s &amp;#039;I am witch woman, hear me roar&amp;#039; moment,&amp;quot; the showrunner told TVLine. &amp;quot;She went and made a decision that she felt was best for the people that she loved, consequences be damned.  &amp;quot;Bonnie is the true hero in all of this, if you really look at it. She came in and found a way to save the day. Had she not done what she did, all of our heroes would be dead. &amp;quot;We&amp;#039;re just seeing the beginning of growth for her, exploring who she is and what it means to be a witch and how she feels about it.&amp;quot; Plec recently revealed that the Vampire Diaries team had intended to kill off Klaus in the recently-concluded third season.
