Meredith Sulez (Full Name: Meredith Teresa Consolacion Maria Sulez) is a main female character of The Vampire Diaries novel series. She is a human living in Fell's Church, Virginia, where she fell in love with Alaric K. Saltzman, a new History teacher, and began a long distance relationship with him. She is best friends with Elena Gilbert and Bonnie McCullough, and former friend of Caroline Forbes. She is also a close friend to Matt Honeycutt and Stefan Salvatore.

Meredith is the only person, especially the only female within the series, that is not in any way affected or influenced by Damon Salvatore's charm and she is the one person whom Damon actually fears and finds scary. In Dark Reunion, Meredith tells Stefan that Damon is dangerous, and that he never should have brought his brother back to Fell's Church. Damon admits to finding Meredith to be "a very scary person" and seems to be incapable of making rude remarks towards her when being face to face but only when they're facing away from one another. When he does so, Meredith makes a comment and Damon does not respond. Except for her grandfather, Meredith's family is rarely discussed in the books. She had one twin brother (Cristian) who Klaus kidnapped. Both her parents and at least one grandmother and grandfather are alive. Meredith's mother used to be friends with Caroline's mother a long time before the start of the series. Meredith's grandfather currently resides in a mental institution in West Virginia. After the attack, Meredith's grandfather became a source of deep shame for the family. In Dark Reunion, Bonnie says that Meredith's parents "considered her grandfather's condition such a blot that they never allowed him to be mentioned to outsiders". Meredith comes from a long line of vampire hunters. She, herself is one in fact, both of the Salvatore brothers are aware of this, but Meredith has never made any kind of attempt to hurt either of them.

Appearance[]

"She had missed Meredith more than anyone, Elena thought, looking at the tall girl. Meredith never wore any make-up; but then, with perfect olive skin and heavy black lashes, she didn't need any. Right now, she had one elegant brow raised as she studied Elena."

In terms of background, Meredith is Latina or Hispanic-American, and she was described to be tall (between 5'8" and 5'9"), with a flawless honey-like olive complexion, deep-set, dark grey eyes with heavy dark lashes, and long-length, jet-black hair that is worn loose for the vast majority of the time.

According to Elena, Meredith never wore make-up, as she did not need any. She was taller than both Bonnie and Elena, but still possessed a willowy aura of elegance about her, and her beauty was more natural and subtle than Caroline's (who maintained her tan through a bottle). One of her most distinguished features was her elegant eyebrows, which was particularly noted by Elena.

Hence, though Meredith was neither the blonde-haired, blue-eyed, angelic-looking Elena, nor the auburn-haired, green-eyed, model-like Caroline, nor the dainty, petite, red-haired Bonnie, she was still one of the most desirable females in all of Fell's Church. Her friends have also remarked that she was exceptionally beautiful, elegant, and graceful.
