Character Name: Alexia 'Lexi' Branson
Series: The Vampire Diaries
Timeline: Season 3, Episode 7 (Ghost World)
Canon Resource Link: TVD Wikia
Character History: As a character who died in the same episode that she was introduced, there is very little known about Lexi's life when you consider that she was 352 when Damon staked her. Thankfully, through the magical mishaps of Mystic Falls' resident Witch and the occasional flashback sequence, we learn a great deal about the kind of life that Lexi has led since she first met Stefan back in 1864.
N.B. Lexi's bio on the TVD Wikia does make references to an unnamed brother, a former occupation and several other people in her life but it should be noted that this was taken from 'The Stefan Diaries', a spin-off of books from the original novels the Television Series is based on. This application does not cover anything that happened within the books as I am playing Lexi as TV!Verse.
1864
It was by chance that Stefan and Lexi would come together, a newly turned Stefan mistaking her for human and attempting to attack her as she walked the streets alone at night. With sunrise coming soon and Lexi in need of shelter, as unlike the Salvatore Brothers, she did not (and notably still doesn't) possess a daylight ring, Stefan invited her back to the home he shared with his brother.
The moment she enters and sees the discarded, torn up bodies that lay around like garbage, Lexi accuses Stefan of being a 'Ripper'. She immediately takes it upon herself to fix him, to show him what it can truly mean to be a Vampire. The last we see of Lexi at this time, is a brief conversation between her and Damon. Before he leaves his brothers side, he asks Lexi to take care of him.
1922
As far as we know, this is the first time that Stefan has fallen off the wagon since Lexi first saved him almost sixty years ago. She comes back into his life to provide some of her tough love after Stefan lost himself in 1912 (With Damon) and continued down this path with an era of indulgence at the sides of Klaus & Rebekah Mikaelson, (A friendship that has been at this time, forgotten by Stefan thanks to Klaus's compulsion).
It would take more than ten years for Stefan to get himself off of human blood but Lexi remains with him in Mystic Falls, once again picking up the pieces and helping him to get back to the Stefan she became friends with and it is suggested that she remains at his side for the decade after she gets him back on track, right up until the beginning of World War II.
1942
As part of Lexi's attempt to help Stefan to build a stronger foundation for his life as a Vampire, she accompanies him to New Orleans in the hopes of getting him to make peace with his brother. Stefan is set to go to war, a way for him to do good again and attempt to make up for the lives he has taken during the 'Ripper' stages of his life.
When the first meeting ends with Damon's companion (A Vampire who was sired to Damon) takes the life of a man for touching Damon's drink, it's clear that Lexi has her concerns. When Damon announces that he intends to go to War with Stefan, Lexi pulls him aside and informs him that she knows about the twelve people he has just killed. Putting Stefan first (in her mind) she tells him that he cannot go, that his actions and attitudes will be the very thing to set Stefan back on the path to becoming a 'Ripper' again, even reminding him what happened the last time he and Stefan were together.
In the end, Damon agrees and goes his way, allowing Stefan to go off to war and Lexi to slip away for another 35 years.
1977
Lexi and Damon would meet again during one of the hottest summers in New York history, set against a backdrop of underground punk rock and the Summer of Sam. At Stefan's behest (apparently coming from Mystic Falls) and after hearing of Damon's less that savory exploits with his humanity set to the 'Off' position, Lexi will track Damon down and spend the next six months giving the elder Salvatore the 'Lexi Special'.
During this time, the two indulged in blood and alcohol, a far different method of rehabilitation that we have seen from her with Stefan but every night, when the fun has been had and the crowds returned home, she would try and force Damon to talk about Katherine, trying to get him to feel something - anything again so that he might turn his humanity back on. During this time, Lexi's feelings for Damon grew and whilst she had been trying to make him feel again, she would be the one who ended up falling for him.
In a cruel twist, one of these nights where she was trying to get him to open up, Damon claims that he doesn't want to talk about Katherine because she's not the one he's in love with. He confesses his supposed feelings for Lexi, who believes that he has in fact turned his humanity back on and the two spend the night together, ending up on the roof of the club they had been partying in.
The next morning, Lexi would awake to the sun burning her skin and when she tries to retreat, she discovers the door that leads to the safety of darkness has been reinforced. Damon taunts Lexi for trying to 'fix' him and the two part ways on a very bitter note.
It is made perfectly clear (the next time we see them together) that any good Lexi once saw in Damon from the time he asked her to take care of Stefan has now vanished and this will be a grudge that she holds against him for the next forty years. It is never stated whether this is something that either Damon or Lexi have told Stefan about.
1987
We learn through conversations that Lexi and Stefan would try and come together at least once a year to celebrate his birthday and one such memorable occasion happened in the late eighties, the two of them going to a Bon Jovi concert together and ending up partying with the singer and his band afterwards. Though neither are aware of it at the time, Katherine will also be at this concert, watching the two Best Friends.
Some Time Before Stefan's 162nd Birthday
Though little is known about this time from Lexi's point of view, it is known that Lexi spent a great deal of it in Georgia where she became friends with a Witch by the name of Bree, and fell in love with a Human (whom she tells Elena about on Stefan's Birthday), called Lee. Lexi tells Elena that Lee had trouble at first coming to terms with who and what Lexi was but in the end, his love for her was stronger than his aversion to her being a Vampire and Lexi changed him in order for them to spend the rest of their 'lives' together.
It is also worth noting that some time in the last century, Lexi became friends with Rose, a Vampire who had been on the run from Klaus for centuries. Lexi even tried to set Rose up with Stefan but Rose tells Elena that she always preferred the Bad Boys (Damon).
The Death of Lexi Branson
Lexi makes a surprise return to Mystic Falls on the day of Stefan's 162nd Birthday, intent on spending the day with her best friend, as they claimed she has done many times over the years. It's clear that she still has issues with Damon and at this point in the series, Lexi is the first and only Vampire we see who has the physical upper hand where the elder Salvatore is concerned.
Her intense dislike of Damon comes only second to her fealty to Stefan, the two catching up on all she has missed as Lexi questions Stefan's motivations in returning to Mystic Falls after all these years. He tells her about Elena and Lexi it seems, is okay with that seeing as the yet to be met, Miss Gilbert is not the Katherine she has only heard about through Stefan.
Until Elena makes a surprise visit to Stefan and Lexi discovers that Elena and Katherine, could be twins. Her surprise is obvious and Lexi wastes no time grilling her best friend over the human who bears an uncanny resemblance to his Ex, Lexi's concerns only assuaged by Stefan's assurances that the only thing she and Katherine share, is their appearance.
At Damon's urging (and manipulation) Lexi and Stefan attend The Grill that night where Lexi has a chance to talk with Elena again. As stated earlier, Lexi tells Elena about Lee and even encourages the young woman to give Stefan a shot. She spends her evening partying with Stefan and accusing Damon of being up to no good but the first part of the night at least, is rather uneventful.
Which of course means that it's time for things to take a turn for the worse. After Damon attacks somebody in an alleyway and compels another, Sheriff Forbes enters the grill and goes straight for Lexi when the surviving victim points her out in the bar. Lexi is injected with vervain and dragged outside where she's able to recover enough to turn on the deputies that had taken her. There is a hail of wooden bullets as Lexi moves in on her attackers but in the end, it is Damon who will slide in and drive a stake through her chest.
If the look on her face is anything to go by, she never saw it coming, asking him 'why' in her dying moments as a hidden Elena and Stefan look on in horror.
The Other Side
Though Lexi is only alive for one episode of season one and only makes one other appearance in corporeal form at her canon point (as opposed to through flashbacks), it is suggested that Lexi has been watching over Stefan from the other side.
Though it can't be expected that she has seen everything that has happened in his life, she would at least know a good deal of what he went through in her absence, including the discovery that Katherine is alive, the tomb of Vampires, their dealings with the Originals and Stefan's spiral that begins when Damon is bitten by a Werewolf and Stefan agrees to remain at Klaus' side in order to save his brother's life.
We do not physically see Lexi again however, until a spell cast by Bonnie to keep Vicki on the other side goes awry and the dead who found themselves around Mystic Falls are once again able to use this to take physical form.
With Stefan's humanity set to off, the timing couldn't be better for Elena who is desperate to find a way to get the Stefan she knows and loves back. With little time on their hands, Lexi gives Elena a crash course in Ripper!Detox 101. She uses her abilities (we can at least assume something similar to dream manipulation, though Lexi is able to do this while Stefan is awake), to make Stefan feel as if he hasn't fed for days, weeks, months and even years, Lexi trying to provoke him in order to get him to feel again. Every time he lashes out or even begs Elena to save him, Lexi remains strong, telling Elena when she's seeing the Ripper talking and not the Stefan she knows.
Time is fast running out however, especially with the tomb Vampires back from the dead and stringing people up in Founders Square and Lexi is unable to finish helping before the window to the other side is closed, sending her and all the other ghosts back to being silent witnesses on the Other Side. Before she disappears, Lexi urges Elena to have faith and promises her that Stefan is still in there, it's just going to take time.
Abilities/Special Powers:
As a Vampire in The Vampire Diaries, Lexi has the same strengths and weaknesses as any other Vampire who is neither an Original or Hybrid. She is however a ghost with corporeal form which alters some of her abilities/limitations. The following are aspects of her abilities that are specific to Lexi and seen in Canon.
As a 352 (at time of death) Vampire who lives on Human blood, she is stronger than those who are younger than her.
While technically, in Vampire form, Lexi should be subject to the limitations of the Sun (as she does not possess a daylight ring.) It has been shown in Canon that as a Ghost in corporeal form, Lexi is no longer subject to this.
Similar to Katherine's Dream Manipulations, Lexi has been shown to have the ability to make people believe and feel things that are not in fact real. During the Episode of Ghost World (Se03Ep07) She used this ability to make Stefan feel as if he had not fed for more than a decade. It is unclear as to whether this is an ability she possessed as a Vampire or something that manifested when she was a Ghost. It could in theory be the latter because as a Ghost, we see Lexi able to walk in the sun.
Taken from The Vampire Diaries Wikia.
The supernatural forces that sustain vampires also endow them with enhanced physical abilities as well as powers of mind control. These powers and abilities grow stronger with time, age, and the consumption of human blood.
Super Strength - Vampires are noticeably much stronger than average adult humans and slowly grow stronger with time. They always have the advantage of superior strength in direct combat with a human. Even new vampires who are still in transition can toss an average size, fully grown human across a room with great speed and force. Their other feats include single-handedly lifting grown men high off the ground by the throat and snapping their necks, ripping people apart, and ripping out internal organs such as hearts with little to no effort. Their strength is also more powerful than that of werewolves that are not in wolf form. Their strength allows them to jump higher and further than any natural creature. Vampires who feed on humans are stronger than those who feed on animal blood.
Super Speed - Vampires are much faster than humans and werewolves in human form and can possibly out run a werewolf even in wolf form. Vampires can accelerate their movements to cover short distances in an instant, faster than the human eye can see. When running across long distances, they appear as vibrating blurs of motion. Their reflexes are similarly heightened. Like their strength, their speed increases with age.
Super Agility - Vampires possess superhuman agility. They have shown that they can move, jump very high, climb, and run incredibly fast without difficulty or exhaustion. Vampires can jump with their super speed too. Vampires that feed on human blood can jump much higher than vampires that feed on animal blood. These abilities increase with age.
Emotional Control - Vampires have the supernatural power and ability to control and manipulate the emotions of one's self, and others. They can "switch off" their ability to feel emotions - such as fear or guilt - allowing them to kill and feed without remorse and to go up against any opponent without fear. This power also relieves them of depression or sadness and is referred to in canon as their Humanity Switch.
Decelerated Falling - Vampires fall from great heights at a much slower rate than humans, almost appearing to float. This powers was first seen in Pilot when Stefan is seen jumping off the top of the Salvatore Boarding House and landing on his feet without any ill effects.
Dream Manipulation - Vampires can control dreams and the subconscious, giving them the ability to produce and modify dreams, bestow nightmares and lucid dreaming. They are also able to distort reality and trap a human in their dreams.
Super Senses - Vampires have extremely keen senses of hearing, sight and smell that far exceed those of humans and werewolves. They can hear whispered conversations, even ones in far of buildings and on phones, smell blood, and see in total darkness. These senses improve with time.
Compulsion - Vampires have the ability to influence/control minds, plague people's dreams, and alter/erase human memories.
Immortality - A vampire stops aging once turned. Upon their transformation, vampires then on become immune to all conventional illness, disease, virus and infection.
Healing Factor - Vampires heal extremely quickly, but still feel the pain of a wound before it heals. Vampires can snap their bones back into place after being broken and have been seen to fully recover from gunshots, stab wounds, and torso impalement. The only injury that cannot be healed on its own is a werewolf bite. A Vampire may also use its blood to heal others.
Super Durability - Vampires can take a great amount of damage without being slowed down. Even vampires who have been shot with wooden bullets have been seen to continue fighting, as long as they were not shot in the heart.
Fangs - Vampires can grow a pair of fangs, which they use to feed. Their fangs will occasionally come out and extend when they feed, are aroused by the scent of blood, or feeling intensely threatened or angered, especially if they are new vampires who have yet to gain complete control over their bloodlust.
Sire Bond - Although rare among them, Sire Bonds can be formed when a human is turned with the blood of the vampire whom they had strong human feelings for.
Eidetic Memory - Vampires possess perfect recall and are unable to forget. Their minds are often called "vaults" in which they stores all their information permanently, regardless of how far such memories recede into the past.
Third-Person Sample:
From the casual way that Lexi wandered into The Bar on the Fifth Floor, you could be mistaken in thinking that she'd been in Wonderland for years, the blonde grinning at perfect strangers like she knew them, at half like she might even know them intimately. Lexi Branson had never really had an issue fitting in and despite the extreme change in her general state of existence, it hadn't taken more than a couple of days to get a handle on her new circumstances.
Hoisting herself up onto a stool at the bar, Lexi flagged down a bartender, ordering a whiskey before turning around to take in what passed for locals in this place. She'd been doing this every day, people watching as a way to figure out the pecking order. Flying under the radar just enough to figure out where she could and couldn't push and yet making herself known enough to be sure that there wouldn't be morons with pitchforks and stakes ready to smack down her door if somebody revealed what she was.
Of all the Vampires around here however? Lexi was probably one to be the least concerned about. Unlike a certain, muppety faced best friend? Lexi was one of the arguably rare Vampires that truly embraced who and what she was. She didn't abuse it like some but that didn't mean she was above compelling a bartender to get a free drink or three. She never had a problem with the blood diet and while some may have flipped their humanity switches every other decade, Lexi had enough emotional control to keep hers firmly in the on position. She was, by most peoples standards, a perfectly well adjusted Vampire.
Of course, the fact that she was a technically dead, well adjusted Vampire might have changed things a little but at least now she appeared to be in a position to take things one day at a time.
The animal blood diet that had been recommended to her left much to be desired and the scenery, while new and interesting right now would probably get old before long but the itch to keep moving would eventually go away. Though her best friend might not appreciate her desire for a reunion. A part of her was always going to hope that he'd show up one day, making any real desire to leave Wonderland, obsolete.
She took another deep swill of Whiskey, feeling the hot spot at the back of her throat cool, the one that hungered for blood, that throbbed at the mere sight of a beating pulse. She really had to do something about this diet of hers. If only she could completely trust the wardrobes not to offer her an unwelcome surprise.
First-Person Sample:
[When the feed begins, the blonde whose face appears in the center of the screen makes no attempt to speak immediately, seeming to be thinking about something with her lips pulled into a bow, her eyes narrowing infinitesimally as they look off screen before snapping onto the camera itself.]
I have to admit. [Her face animated as she starts to speak, accompanied by a dry, almost snarky tone.] I was all ready to pin this on the little Witch but I think it's fair to say we're not in Mystic Falls anymore.
[It's hard to say whether she's annoyed, bored or amused. The woman who can't look much more than early twenties, taking time out to top up her glass of whiskey, having a sip before setting it down again.]
Right - [Refocusing on her screen.] Introductions then. Lexi Branson. Lets all move past the what, where and why that people around here seem to be so fond of.
[She's clearly familiarized herself with all things Wonderland in the short time she's been here and she's not about to share her life story with a bunch of strangers.]
Why don't you tell me what there is to do around here? [With a dismissive wave of her hand.] I mean real fun not, blowing up labs or killing zombies. The good stuff.

Vampires can snap their bones back into place after being broken and have been seen to fully recover from gunshots, stab wounds, and torso impalement. The only injury that cannot be healed on its own is a werewolf bite. A Vampire may also use its blood to heal others.
Super Durability - Vampires can take a great amount of damage without being slowed down. Even vampires who have been shot with wooden bullets have been seen to continue fighting, as long as they were not shot in the heart.
Fangs - Vampires can grow a pair of fangs, which they use to feed. Their fangs will occasionally come out and extend when they feed, are aroused by the scent of blood, or feeling intensely threatened or angered, especially if they are new vampires who have yet to gain complete control over their bloodlust.
Sire Bond - Although rare among them, Sire Bonds can be formed when a human is turned with the blood of the vampire whom they had strong human feelings for.
Eidetic Memory - Vampires possess perfect recall and are unable to forget. Their minds are often called "vaults" in which they stores all their information permanently, regardless of how far such memories recede into the past.
Third-Person Sample:
From the casual way that Lexi wandered into The Bar on the Fifth Floor, you could be mistaken in thinking that she'd been in Wonderland for years, the blonde grinning at perfect strangers like she knew them, at half like she might even know them intimately. Lexi Branson had never really had an issue fitting in and despite the extreme change in her general state of existence, it hadn't taken more than a couple of days to get a handle on her new circumstances.
Hoisting herself up onto a stool at the bar, Lexi flagged down a bartender, ordering a whiskey before turning around to take in what passed for locals in this place. She'd been doing this every day, people watching as a way to figure out the pecking order. Flying under the radar just enough to figure out where she could and couldn't push and yet making herself known enough to be sure that there wouldn't be morons with pitchforks and stakes ready to smack down her door if somebody revealed what she was.
Of all the Vampires around here however? Lexi was probably one to be the least concerned about. Unlike a certain, muppety faced best friend? Lexi was one of the arguably rare Vampires that truly embraced who and what she was. She didn't abuse it like some but that didn't mean she was above compelling a bartender to get a free drink or three. She never had a problem with the blood diet and while some may have flipped their humanity switches every other decade, Lexi had enough emotional control to keep hers firmly in the on position. She was, by most peoples standards, a perfectly well adjusted Vampire.
Of course, the fact that she was a technically dead, well adjusted Vampire might have changed things a little but at least now she appeared to be in a position to take things one day at a time.
The animal blood diet that had been recommended to her left much to be desired and the scenery, while new and interesting right now would probably get old before long but the itch to keep moving would eventually go away. Though her best friend might not appreciate her desire for a reunion. A part of her was always going to hope that he'd show up one day, making any real desire to leave Wonderland, obsolete.
She took another deep swill of Whiskey, feeling the hot spot at the back of her throat cool, the one that hungered for blood, that throbbed at the mere sight of a beating pulse. She really had to do something about this diet of hers. If only she could completely trust the wardrobes not to offer her an unwelcome surprise.
First-Person Sample:
[When the feed begins, the blonde whose face appears in the center of the screen makes no attempt to speak immediately, seeming to be thinking about something with her lips pulled into a bow, her eyes narrowing infinitesimally as they look off screen before snapping onto the camera itself.]
I have to admit. [Her face animated as she starts to speak, accompanied by a dry, almost snarky tone.] I was all ready to pin this on the little Witch but I think it's fair to say we're not in Mystic Falls anymore.
[It's hard to say whether she's annoyed, bored or amused. The woman who can't look much more than early twenties, taking time out to top up her glass of whiskey, having a sip before setting it down again.]
Right - [Refocusing on her screen.] Introductions then. Lexi Branson. Lets all move past the what, where and why that people around here seem to be so fond of.
[She's clearly familiarized herself with all things Wonderland in the short time she's been here and she's not about to share her life story with a bunch of strangers.]
Why don't you tell me what there is to do around here? [With a dismissive wave of her hand.] I mean real fun not, blowing up labs or killing zombies. The good stuff.
