I honestly wish Alice had been Cory’s daughter instead of Raven’s cousin. It would’ve been so much more interesting if she inherited psychic abilities from Cory’s side of the family and was being mentored by her aunt Raven Baxter. That concept feels way more connected to the original show than making Alice a random cousin with no psychic abilities at all.

The writers easily could’ve explained Cory’s absence by saying he was away in the military or working overseas or something similar. They also could’ve had Alice call or text him throughout the series so his presence was still felt even if he wasn’t physically on the show. It honestly feels like a missed opportunity.

I never really understood why so many people compare Rosalie Hale and Rebekah Mikaelson just because they were both turned into vampires against their will and can’t have children because of it. Their situations are actually very different.

At least Rebekah has the option to adopt and raise a child as her own if she truly wanted to. She also doesn’t have strict vampire laws hanging over her head the way Rosalie does with the Volturi. The Mikaelsons are the oldest and most powerful vampires in the TVDU, and vampires there also have compulsion, which gives them way more freedom and control over their lives.

Rebekah’s issue was never that motherhood in general was impossible for her. She specifically wanted a biological child of her own. And there’s nothing wrong with women wanting biological children. But the Mikaelsons as a family have always been extremely blood-oriented. They constantly emphasize “always and forever,” yet most of the time that loyalty only truly extends to people who share their blood. If you’re not biologically part of the family, you’re rarely treated the same way.

In the movies she's definitely a tomboy. Eclipse makes that extremely obvious with how Bella was dressed for her own graduation party. However the first movie it was like her style was a mix of both and as the series went on her style became more and more tomboyish until the very last movie. I'm not entirely sure about the books.
