Biography
Nina Dobrev's dual role as Elena Gilbert and Katherine Pierce in The Vampire Diaries (2009–2015) cemented her as a defining actor of the 2010s supernatural boom. Born Nikolina Kamenova Dobreva in Sofia, Bulgaria on January 9, 1989, she grew up in Toronto after her family relocated. Her screen debut came through minor roles before she landed the role of Mia Jones in Degrassi: The Next Generation (2006–2009), which marked her breakout moment. The Vampire Diaries launched her into prominence, and she parlayed that success into a diverse film career: the coming-of-age drama The Perks of Being a Wallflower (2012), the action-comedy XXX: Return of Xander Cage (2017)—her biggest commercial success—and romantic comedies Dog Days, Then Came You, and Love Hard. She also led the sitcom Fam in 2019 and appeared in feature films The Final Girls and Flatliners. As an actor, Dobrev works across television drama, comedy, and film genres, blending character-driven roles with mainstream commercial projects. Her Capricorn nature—born in early January—pairs with a Life Path number of 1, suggesting pioneering independence and a drive to lead. She holds Canadian citizenship despite her Bulgarian birth.
