Damon Salvatore – The Vampire Diaries

Of the two Salvatore brothers, I prefer the one with the dark side and penchant for impulsive decisions. Damon is the black sheep of the Salvatore family, and even though his intentions usually are well-meaning, he has a real knack for making a bad situation worse.

None of that matters when he looks at you with those icy blue eyes and thick black eyebrows. Ian Somerholder knew what he was doing when he crafted that look for Damon. It says, “I have lust in my heart, and I’m willing to do what it takes to quench it.”

As one third of the love triangle between him, his brother, Stephan, and the hapless Elena, he was always the wrong brother for her. On paper, Damon is selfish, unpredictable, and dangerous to be around. But in practice, there is no denying the heat between he and Elena. Despite the constant cycle of breaking up, getting back together, and then breaking up again, he always knew they were meant to be. He never, ever gave up on her, and as far as boyfriends go, that’s something you can’t find everyday.
