Bad Things: Character Aesthestic

Enzo St. John~ Caroline’s Enzo

“Do I look interested?Well, I assure you I’m not.”

Enzo turned in 50s by Caroline. Enzo was part of crime until they killed him. He wasn't died, Caroline turned him as a vampire. He was thankful of Caroline. She saved him from  He is loyal and supportive, whenever she goes he will be there. Like Caroline, he’s an activist of vampire rights for different reasons. He want to eat freely without doing compulsion or stolen blood bags. Always dresses in black, Enzo refuses to wear daylight ring after “vampire out of coffin” unlike some vampires. 

He enjoys darkness as much fresh blood. TheCure irks him more than anything. Same sentiment he shares with his maker. 

He serves drinks sure but don’t you dare to have pity party in front of him, he would kill you. He hates humans for reasonable reason. When he was younger, he was kidnapped by an anti vampires group and they tortured him for six months. Six months was enough to make him hated humans. He wouldn’t lie he loves to feed on human but making connection with them isn’t option. He’s also disliked vampire politic, he sees them as a joke. His loyalty to his maker is undeniable. 

He knows without vampirism, he wouldn’t survive. He would do anything for his maker. Unlike his maker, Enzo doesn’t even bother to make friends. He trusts almost none in this world. It’s a “dogs eat dogs” world. Trust is only for his maker, not some random helpless human or fellow vampires he barely know.

Snippet of Chapter 7:

"I shouldn't be here." Caroline said when they were alone. "We shouldn't be here."

All day, Klaus kept thinking about how he could make things different this time.

"I want you here, and I'm not talking about here on this lawn." He closed the distance between them. "I wanted you back here."

She blinked back at him. He wanted to say more, but he wasn't sure what else to say.

"Why?"

"You know why, Caroline."

Even as President of the United States of America, he was still too afraid to admit his feelings for the only girl that made him feel something real - to be in love and want to be loved in return. Yet, all he could do was touch her. He reached for her face and held it, slowly stroking her cheek bone with his thumb. He wanted to kiss her then, but he knew she'd push him away. She closed her eyes and he guessed that she couldn't stand to look at him right now.

Enzo would appear mid(ish) season 5, his obsession with Damon would be born out of the brotherhood they developed while in imprisoned and the unfactual belief that Damon wanted to save him but couldn’t when in reality Damon simply abandoned him as soon as he got the chance. Also, Damon lied BIG TIME about Stefan and how he stole the love of his life and was a terrible brother etc etc

So Enzo has this warped perception of both Salvatores. As soon as Caroline hears all the bull about what an amazing person Damon is she side-eyes the hell out of him. She proceeds to deconstruct Enzo’s stubborn believe by educating him on the fact that Damon is in fact, human scum but he holds fast.

The episodes progress Enzo gets more and more hints about what really happened during the Augustine’s imprisonment but keeps brushing it off. As their friendship develops, in a quiet moment Enzo asks Caroline why it is that she really hates Damon. And she confides in him that he hurt her very badly, Enzo kind of infers what she means and gets angry and confronts Damon about Caroline and the Augustines too. He denies both but Enzo isn’t satisfied.

He finds Doctor Wes and compels the truth out of him. He finds Damon and pretty much lets him know that he’s dead to him. After that, he pretty much becomes Caroline’s partner in crime, the - I’d follow you to the ends of the earth kind. Enzo still kind of hates Stefan but more because he considers him to be a bit self-righteous and doesn’t like his hair.

When Caroline loses her mother, Enzo doesn’t show up to the funeral and that hurts Caroline and adds to her grief. (Enzo doesn’t run up because he doesn’t really ‘do funerals’ - a lame excuse by all accounts- but Enzo maintains that he’s never really learnt how to deal with grief let alone how to comfort other people).

Caroline flips her switch but since her anger and pretty much every other emotion is off Caroline is pretty blase about Enzo’s absence she asks Enzo to join her during her hedonistic trail blaze but he declines due to preferring the ‘old Caroline’. The scooby gang attempt to get her switch back on but this only makes her pissed off and she starts acting out in retaliation. Stefan gets really close but at the last minute Enzo snaps his neck from behind and tells Caroline he’ll go wherever she goes. she asks what happened to him preferring the old Caroline and shrugs and says he could warm up to the new version.

It look like Enzo is supporting Caroline’s crazy fit but really his plan it to let her ride it out until he can figure out a way to trigger her humanity. Eventually, Caroline’s humanity gets trigger by something random that reminds her of her mom and she breaks down sobbing. Enzo’s actually there for her this time even though he’s supremely uncomfortable. In the end, he calls Stefan who’s 2000% better at the whole comforting thing than he is.

At the end of season 6 I’d have Caroline got to NOLA and be on TO and a few seasons later I’d have Enzo join her and get friendly with Rebekah ;)

THE END

In response to this ask.

One of my favourite Carenzo scenes is when they’re in a room together I think it's like a study or something and they're sitting in armchairs and have mugs in their hand and the light is shining through the curtains just soI think DE are in the other room resolving their issues or whatever and Caroline and Enzo are talking to pass the time... yeah I imagine they have a lot of quiet moments like that. 

Especially since I also imagine them going on a lot of vampirey road trips to hunt down whoever (because there’s always someone) I’m thinking after a long day they just sit and chill with mugs of cocoa. 

If Caroline pleads hard enough and flutters her eyelashes she can get the odd story out of Enzo about his past last (pre Augustine) but just one every once in a while mind you and then the chat idly for a bit before falling into a comfortable silence.

Caroline teases Enzo and calls him a grandpa because he frequently ends up falling asleep in his armchair.

I like to imagine a universe where Caroline decides to turn it off (and certain people are respectful of her choice, ahem...) and instead of onlooking in disapproval Enzo decides to join in her gallivanting - while simultaneously supervise her, lest she do something she’d regret once he can figure out a way to get her humanity back on - and they tour around drinking blood, partying and guzzling alcohol until Caroline stumbles past a store window that has a bicycle in it that looks like the pink one with the tassels that her mom taught her to ride on and she breaks down into a big sobbing mess. Luckily Enzo had the tissues, blankets and chocolate on standby the whole time.

Ever the loyal and protective friend Enzo is sceptical about Caroline moving to NOLA and about Klaus in general. He maintains that he isn’t afraid of him and that’s exactly what Caroline’s afraid of; since Enzo’s brazen attitude and Klaus’ temper are a terrible combination. In fact, the only thing that prevents Klaus from decapitating Enzo on the spot most of the time is his love fear of Caroline.

Residing in New Orleans does end up distracting Enzo from his mission to protect Caroline at all costs and keep an eye on the smug looking hybrid twat. The biggest distraction is Rebekah, specifically Rebekah’s legs. Her constant rebuffing only serves to make him all the more determined and love sick. Then of course there’s Kol whom he instantly befriends. Between the two of them they get into a fair bit of trouble and on Enzo’s first few nights in the city both are equally responsible for painting the entire town red- in the very literal sense.

Their antics catch Marcel’s attention and his pissed initially, especially because Klaus is tiptoeing around Caroline on eggshells (as she’s shown no indication of whether her stay in New Orleans will be a permanent one) and has therefore made little to no effort to reign in Enzo or his brother lest he upset Caroline.

Eventually Enzo wins Marcel over, over drinks and eventually challenges him to a drink off - which Enzo wins - and the night ends with a very loud Karaoke duet. Kol gets the entire thing on film.

When Enzo and Rebekah eventually do begin seeing each other Caroline and Kol tease Enzo relentlessly because his utter devotion to the female Original is effectively ruining his reputation of being a cold blooded, soulless, vampire. Teddies, chocolate and romantic love song don’t exactly scream ‘fear me’ after all.

Enzo hates taking pictures and especially misses the days when everyone believed the rumours about Vampires not showing up in pictures or mirrors were true. Never the less Caroline constantly bombards him with endless amounts of ‘selfies’  and ‘snapchat videos’ and ‘insta stories’. So to avoid having to actually being in the pictures, he just volunteers to play camera man and stands around diligently while Caroline flits around trying to find the perfect light for a photo shoot.
