Amara Petrova

Amara Petrova (Ancient Greek: Ἀμάρα Πέτροβα, Latin: Amarantha; translates as "eternally beautiful", "eternal", "unfading" or "immortal") is the world's very first immortal woman. She is Qetsiyah's sister/best friend and was the soulmate and one true love of Qetsiyah's fiancé, one of the world's most powerful witches and the world's first immortal man and being, Silas.

Amara's love for Silas became her downfall as their betrayal was revealed to Qetsiyah, who in retaliation staged Amara's death, and as punishment for her actions transformed her into the Anchor to the Other Side. For over 2,000 years, Amara felt the pain of each deceased supernatural being crossing over.

She is the progenitor of a line of doppelgängers that have come to be known as the Petrova doppelgängers, from which spawned three known female doppelgängers: the first, Tatia Petrova, the second, Katerina Petrova, and the third and final doppelgänger, Elena Gilbert.

Amara is one of the oldest known ancestor of the Petrova Family and the progenitor of the Petrova Doppelgängers. She also has ties to the Bennett Family, Labonair Family, and the Mikaelson Family through her mother.
