Character: Blair Waldorf Fandom: Gossip Girl (TV) Character Notes: History: SPOILER WARNING: all seasons/episodes up to and including 4.11. Also, this got lengthy so apologies for that.
Blair was born into an elite family living on the Upper East Side of New York. Growing up an only child, there was very little she wanted for, at least materially. As a young child she got to know the people she now considers to be her closest friends: Chuck Bass, Nate Archibald and Serena Van Der Woodsen. She and Nate became a couple at a very young age - since kindergarten, if Chuck's words in the pilot episode are true and not just hyperbole. Some time during their sophomore year of high school, Serena – her best friend and biggest rival - disappeared and all Blair knew was what Serena's mother Lily told her: she was at a boarding school in Connecticut. To make matters worse, Blair's parents separated after her beloved father was caught out having an affair with a male model, Roman. Harold left for Paris and Blair was left to deal with her pain without her best friend. Nevertheless she made the most of Serena's absence and cemented her position as Queen Bee of Constance Billard.
In her junior year, Blair had to deal with Serena's equally sudden return to the city and the revelation that her best friend and boyfriend had slept together behind her back. Initially hostile, it soon became apparent that Blair was simply lashing out through hurt and anger, particularly in light of what was happening with her parents. Though the pair would still clash, and clash often, at least they were friends again and this would become invaluable as the year went on.
Blair also found herself questioning her relationship with Nate, who grew more and more distant from her. She sought refuge with his best friend Chuck and lost her virginity to him in what she insisted was a one-off mistake. However she soon found herself torn between her long-term, dependable boyfriend and her growing feelings for Chuck. The decision was made for her after a pregnancy scare drove them both away from her, and Blair saw no other option than to leave the city.
Though Serena convinced her to stay, Blair still had to contend with her protégée Jenny usurping her position as Queen Bee. Blair was determined to regain her throne and used Jenny’s deceitfulness against her. A broken Jenny admitted defeat and Blair was free to use her scheming ways to get rid of Georgina Sparks, a former friend of Serena's who seemed set on destroying Serena's life. As summer approached, a heartfelt speech by Chuck during his father’s wedding saw him and Blair on the brink of a relationship, agreeing to go away to Europe together.
Blair also struggled to adjust to her parents’ split – her mother uninvited her father from Thanksgiving after he send divorce papers through and when her father brought his new boyfriend to New York for Christmas, Blair was determined to drive them apart. Eventually, she came around and accepted Roman as part of the family, having been reassured by her father that she wasn’t being shut out.
