Yes. You can be/are all of those things. Denying it would be an exercise in futility and I don't think that's particularly useful at this juncture, but those things are not all you are.
Those things are not all Rebekah Mikaelson Salvatore is.
She is also an incredibly dedicated sister who would move the heavens and earth for her brothers, even when they don't deserve it. Maybe especially then.
She is also a kind and dedicated friend.
She is also, when you get her at the right time and aren't pissing her off, the most sweet-tempered person I have ever known. Especially in the morning, just as she's waking up, before the desire for coffee grabs her brain and makes her growl.
She is also impetuous, but in a good way. She wants the people she loves to be happy and, when they let her, she will do silly things to make them laugh.
(Any brothers who are reading this may want to check out now.)
She is also the single most sensual, sexual being I have ever known and it translates throughout her entire person- from the way she styles her hair, to the clothes she wears, to the scent and taste of her skin when it's damp with sweat.
(And brothers can come back now.)
Her capacity to offer forgiveness to those who don't deserve it is incredible. It is literally mind blowing, because I know I don't deserve it, I've never deserved it, but that doesn't keep me from wanting it and it doesn't keep her from offering it every single day.
And her love? The love she gives freely with that enormous heart of hers? It keeps me sane. It keeps me grounded. It keeps me from tearing through this town and all the people in it. Your brother may think he's the biggest swinging dick in town, but that elephant in the room is bullshit and we all know it. He's never slaughtered like I have, he couldn't do it if he tried, which is exactly while he needed me. My Panda's love is the barrier that keeps everyone in Lawrence- Hell, everyone in Kansas- safe from me, because I barely held on when she was in that Cage and if anything ever happened to her again, I don't think I could do it another time.
But even these things are not all that you are, Bekah. You are so much more complex, in good and bad ways. But all those facets are why I love you. And that is the real truth here.
