Elizabeth "Lizzie" Jenna Saltzman is a major recurring character on The Vampire Diaries, guest character on The Originals, and main character on Legacies. She is one of the twin daughters of Alaric Saltzman and Josette Laughlin, the other being Josie Saltzman.
Due to Josette's death, she was carried via surrogacy by Caroline Forbes, and as such, she and her sister are also the adopted/surrogate daughters of Caroline as well. Her existence was revealed in Let Her Go by Kai, the babies' maternal uncle. However, tragically, in I'll Wed You in the Golden Summertime, Kai stabs Jo in the abdomen multiple times, killing her and almost, supposedly killing the unborn twins. However, it is later revealed in Best Served Cold that the Gemini Coven has transferred the twins into the Caroline's womb as the only option for survival. Since then, Caroline and Alaric have raised Lizzie, and her sister, together as co-parents.
Lizzie Saltzman is a member of the Saltzman Family and the Parker Family, and she is also a member of the Forbes Family due to being Caroline's surrogate/adopted daughter. In addition. Lizzie and her sister, Josie, are also considered to be honorary member of the Gilbert Family via her father's former romantic relationship with Jenna Sommers, and his close family relationship with Elena and Jeremy, formed from helping to raise and take care of them throughout The Vampire Diaries.
