Elizabeth "Liz" Forbes was a major recurring character of The Vampire Diaries until her death in Season Six. She was the sheriff of Mystic Falls and a member of the Founder's Council, ex-wife of late fellow Founder's Council member Bill Forbes, who came out as being gay, and mother of Caroline. She initially struggled to accept Caroline's identity as a vampire given her prejudices, but in time she learned to love her daughter for who she was.
Liz was a relative to the Forbes Family and a member of the Town Council.
