The Twilight Saga Books including Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn have some of the most terrifying, exciting, and complicated characters found in any book. Below are summaries of each character to get you either up to date on the latest Twilight characters, or to just get a review of some of your favorite Twilight characters.
Bella Swan
Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan is an average, clumsy, accident-prone girl who moves from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington to live with her father, Charlie. Though many boys are attracted to her, she falls in love with Edward Cullen, a mysterious boy she discovers to be a vampire. In an attempt to protect Bella from his dangerous lifestyle, Edward leaves her. Bella falls into a depression and is comforted by her friend, Jacob Black. She comes to love Jacob as well, though not as deeply as she loves Edward. She eventually marries Edward and, after giving birth to their daughter Renesmee, becomes a vampire. After her transformation she has the ability to shield her and others' minds from mental attacks. (Kristen Stewart plays Bella in the upcoming Twilight movie.)
Edward Cullen
Edward Cullen (born Edward Anthony Masen) was born on June 20, 1901 in Chicago, Illinois and is frozen in his 17-year-old body. While dying of the Spanish influenza, he was
changed into a vampire by Dr. Carlisle Cullen after Edward's mother, Elizabeth, begged him to save Edward as her dying wish. Edward has the special ability to read minds, with
the exception of Bella Swan's. He falls in love with Bella soon after she arrives in Forks. Edward knows that he could kill Bella easily, a fact that torments him so much that
in New Moon he decides to leave Forks so he and his family won't be able to hurt her. He returns, however, because he realizes he cannot live without her. Edward marries Bella
in Breaking Dawn and they have a child, Renesmee.(Robert Pattinson plays Edward Cullen in the upcoming Twilight movie.)
Jacob Black
Jacob Black is Bella's best friend. He is a Quileute Native American and a werewolf, later revealed to be a shape-shifter as he doesn't transform on the full moon. In Twilight,
Jacob plays a minor role, being a forgotten childhood friend of Bella's. In an attempt to learn more about Cullens, Bella flirts with Jacob, and he tells her tribe legends about
them being "the cold ones", or vampires. After Edward leaves Bella in New Moon, Bella spends much of her time with Jacob, trying to heal her broken heart and move on. Though at
first only a friend, Jacob later falls in love with Bella. Although he spends most of his time in Eclipse trying to win Bella, in Breaking Dawn he imprints on Bella and Edward's
daughter, Renesmee.(Taylor Lautner will play Jacob Black in the upcoming Twilight movie.)
Carlisle Cullen
Carlisle Cullen (also known as Stregoni Benefici[1]) is Esme's husband and Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper's adoptive father. His first appearance was in Twilight and
his physical age is 23. Carlisle is described to look like a model; he has blond hair, stands at 6'2", and is slender but muscular. Carlisle theorizes that when a human is
turned into a vampire, they will have an enhanced ability from their previous life. He believes he brought compassion from his human life. Carlisle has had centuries to perfect
his medicinal talents, therefore making him an excellent doctor. Unlike most vampires, he is not at all tempted by the scent of human blood, due to the over 300 years he has
spent holding back his temptations. Carlisle Cullen was the son of an Anglican pastor, born in 1640s London, England during a time of religious upheaval. His father and other
pastors would hunt down creatures such as witches, werewolves, and vampires, often mistaking humans for them. As his father got older, Carlisle was put in charge. One night, he
was attacked by a vampire and left to die on the streets. Knowing he would not be accepted by society, he hid himself and silently went through the painful transformation,
emerging as a vampire. Horrified, he tried various methods of killing himself, but nothing worked due to his power. One night, he could endure hunger no longer and fed on a
group of passing deer. Subsequently realizing that he did not have to live off humans, he set out to perfect his resistance to blood lust and become a doctor.(Carlisle will be portrayed by Peter Facinelli in the Twilight film.)
Esme Cullen
Esme Cullen (born Esme Anne Platt and later Esme Anne Evenson) is the wife of Carlisle and adoptive mother of Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper. She enjoys restoring
old houses and her physical age is 26. She has no special power, but has a strong ability to love passionately. Esme is described as being 5'6" with caramel-colored hair; she
also has a heart-shaped face with dimples, and her figure is slender, but rounded and soft. Esme was born in the later 1800s, living in Columbus, Ohio, where she was treated at
the age of 16 by Carlisle after breaking her leg when climbing a tree. She married Charles Evenson, but was abused by him. After finding out she was pregnant, she ran away and
gave birth to a son, who subsequently died a few days later. Mournful of his death, Esme attempted to kill herself by jumping off of a cliff. Presumed dead, she was brought to a
morgue. Carlisle, who remembered treating her years before, was able to sense her heartbeat and changed her into a vampire. Esme fell in love with and married Carlisle soon
after. She loves her adoptive children as much as she did her own son, but still grieves that she cannot bear children.Esme is present throughout the entire Twilight series, revealing her past to Bella during the Cullens' baseball game in Twilight. Esme treats Bella as her own daughter, comforting her after several traumatic events. In Breaking Dawn, it is revealed that Esme owns a South American island named "Isle Esme" that was purchased for her by Carlisle, where she allows Edward and Bella to spend their honeymoon.(Elizabeth Reaser will portray Esme in the upcoming film.)
Rosalie Hale
Rosalie Lillian Hale is the adopted daughter of Esme and Carlisle, adoptive sister of Edward, Alice, and Jasper, and wife of Emmett. Her physical age is 18, and she was born in
1915 in Rochester, New York as the daughter of a banker. Rosalie is described as being astoundingly beautiful, even for a vampire; she is tall, statuesque, and has long, wavy
blonde hair. As a human, Rosalie was described as a woman who had beauty, elegance, class, and eyes resembling violets. Royce King II took an interest in her and soon the two
became engaged. Rosalie was extremely envious of her good friend Vera and her baby boy and, while on a visit, noticed that she did not share the same relationship with Royce as
Vera did with her husband. Dismissing it, Rosalie later walked home and met an intoxicated Royce and his friends. Royce bragged about his fiancée's beauty, leading to her being
beaten, presumably raped, and left to die. Carlisle, coming across her, decided to change her into a vampire. After her transformation, she tortured and killed those who had
beaten her, including Royce, but did not drink their blood.(Nikki Reed will portray Rosalie in the upcoming Twilight film.)
Emmett Cullen
Emmett Cullen (born Emmett McCarty[4]) is Rosalie's husband, Carlisle and Esme's adopted son, and Edward, Alice, and Jasper's adoptive brother. Emmett is described as being
tall, burly, extremely muscular, and, to most humans, the most intimidating of his adoptive siblings. He has slightly curly dark hair and dimpled cheeks.Emmett was 20 and living in Gatlinburg, Tennessee in 1935 when he was mauled by a bear. The injuries from the attack were severe and he was found by Rosalie, who had been hunting in the area at the time. Rosalie, who was reminded of her friend's baby having the same curls and innocent appearance, carried him over a hundred miles to Appalachia where Carlisle Cullen was, asking him to spare Emmett's life by turning him into a vampire. Emmett joined Carlisle's coven, but had trouble adjusting to the family's diet of animal blood. In Twilight, Emmett is at first wary of Bella, but eventually warms up to her. He often teases her for her clumsiness and constant blushing, and votes in favor of her becoming a vampire in New Moon. In Breaking Dawn Emmett jokingly makes innuendos about Bella's sex life, until being silenced when she defeats him in an arm wrestling match.(Kellan Lutz was cast to portray Emmett in the upcoming Twilight film.)
Alice Cullen
Alice Cullen (born Mary Alice Brandon) is the adopted daughter of Carlisle and Esme, adoptive sister of Edward, Rosalie, and Emmett, and wife of Jasper. Alice is described as
being petite and pixie-like at 4'10", with a graceful gait and hair that is short, spiky, and black. Her special ability is to see the future, an enhanced version of her ability
to have premonitions as a human. However, her ability is limited; she is only able to see the outcome of a decision once it is made. Due to this, decisions made in the spur of
the moment can not be foreseen. Alice can see futures involving humans and vampires, though is unable to see the futures werewolves or half-breeds, such as Renesmee. In Breaking
Dawn, Alice theorizes that she can see vampires very clearly because she is one, can see humans somewhat less clearly because she was one, and cannot see werewolves or half-
breeds because she never was one. Alice is portrayed as being bubbly and optimistic, and loves and cares for Bella like a sister. Her hobbies include shopping, make-overs, and
throwing parties. Alice's early history is very vague, as she remembers nothing of her human life and woke up alone as a vampire. It is eventually revealed that she was born
around 1901 in Biloxi, Mississippi and was kept in an asylum because she had premonitions. Alice was changed by an old vampire who worked at the asylum in order to protect her
from James, a tracker vampire who was hunting her. After doing some research, Alice found her grave and discovered that the date on her tombstone matched the date of her
admission to the asylum. Through her research she additionally discovered that she had a little sister named Cynthia, and that Cynthia's daughter, Alice's niece, was still alive
in Biloxi.(Ashley Greene will portray Alice in the upcoming Twilight film.)
Jasper Hale
Jasper Hale (born Jasper Whitlock) is the adopted son of Carlisle and Esme, adoptive brother of Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie, and husband of Alice. He was born in Texas and
joined the Confederate States Army in 1861 to serve in the Civil War. Due to his extremely charismatic personality, he ascended through the ranks quickly. Jasper was turned into
a vampire in 1863 by a vampire named Maria when he was 20 years old. As a vampire, he gained the ability to manipulate the emotions of those around him. Recognizing his high
rank in the army, Maria decided to change him into a vampire to help her claim territory in Monterrey. Jasper's responsibility was to train young vampires and then kill them
when they were no longer useful (about a year after their transformation- when their strength began to fade). After about a century of this, he grew weary of the lifestyle and
joined an old friend, Peter, and his mate Charlotte. Jasper left the two eventually, not wanting to feed on humans because he could feel his prey's emotions as they died. Alice,
foreseeing that they would be together, met him in a half-empty diner in Philadelphia, and together they sought out the Cullen family. Due to his past, where he was able to feed
on humans whenever he chose, Jasper lacks strong self-control. He is described as tall with honey blond hair, and is muscular but lean. His body is covered with crescent-shaped
scars, after the many years of fighting and training newborn vampires.(Jackson Rathbone will portray Jasper in the upcoming Twilight film.)
Renesmee Cullen
Renesmee "Nessie" Carlie Cullen is the half-vampire, half-human daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, born on September 10, three days before Bella's nineteenth birthday in
Breaking Dawn. Her name is derived from the amalgamation of the names of Bella's mother, Renée, and Edward's adoptive mother, Esme. Her middle name, Carlie, is a combination of
the names Carlisle, Edward's adoptive father, and Charlie, Bella's father. She has the same facial features and hair color as Edward, but the curly hair of her grandfather,
Charlie Swan, and the brown eyes of Bella. She is described by Bella and Jacob as being the most beautiful person in the world, even though she is so young. Her heart pumps
blood, giving her a blush, and her pale skin glows in the sunlight. Her skin is very warm and soft to the touch, but is as strong as a vampire's. Renesmee can survive on either
blood or human food, though she prefers blood, and she doesn't produce venom. Her special abilities are being able to show someone a thought by touching their skin, and
penetrating mental shields. Renesmee grows both mentally and physically at a fast rate, being able to speak only seven days after her birth, and by the end of Breaking Dawn she
is able to read, run, hunt, and perform other tasks at advanced levels for her young age. Her intelligence stuns everyone - Bella and Edward especially - as she can understand
what is going on around her when the Volturi arrive. Jacob Black gives her the nickname "Nessie" because he considers her full name to be a mouthful, though Bella strongly
dislikes him nick-naming her child "after the Loch Ness Monster". However, by the end of the book, all of the characters adopt this shortened version. She will reach physical
maturity after about seven years, when her physical appearance will be around seventeen, and will then stop aging.
The Volturi
The vampire coven known as the Volturi resides in Volterra, Italy. They are regarded as "royalty" by other vampires because they have lived for well over three thousand years
and act as police, enforcing the rule that the existence of vampires be kept a secret from humans. They often send others to travel from Volterra to prevent overzealous covens
and renegade vampires from exposing their species. They are guarded by several powerful vampires who have been collected for their powers and skills. Carlisle once stayed with
the coven as a guest, but left due to his desire to avoid harming humans and created his own coven in the United States. At the end of New Moon, the Volturi discover that Bella,
a human, has learned of the existence of vampires, and demand that she be made into a vampire as well, or else be killed. In Breaking Dawn, the vampire Irina goes to the Volturi
and warns them that the Cullens have created an immortal child after seeing Edward and Bella's daughter, Renesmee, hunting not far from the Cullens' house. The Volturi coven
proceeds to Forks to destroy Renesmee, but leaves once they realize that she is not a threat.
James
The major antagonist of the novel Twilight, James is depicted as a merciless "tracker" vampire who hunts human beings or, in some cases, animals, for sport. Fellow coven member
Laurent says of James that he is unusually gifted at what he does and always gets what he wants, though it is later revealed that a then-human Alice Cullen escaped his clutches
some time ago by being turned into a vampire before James could attack. Unlike the Cullen family, he drinks human blood as his food source. Towards the end of Twilight, James is
dismembered and set on fire (thus permanently destroyed) by Cullen brothers Emmett and Jasper after luring Bella to an empty ballet studio and nearly killing her. The shimmery
scar left by his venomous bite still remains on Bella's hand as a symbol of his unsuccessful attempt on her life. James is described as having light brown hair and being quite
unremarkable and average-looking.(James is portrayed by Cam Gigandet in the Twilight film.)
Victoria
A red-haired, cat-like vampire, Victoria is originally a member of James' coven. She plays a small role in the first book assisting James, her lover and coven leader, in hunting
Bella Swan. After James is killed, she decides to exact revenge on Edward Cullen by plotting to kill his partner, Bella. However, Bella is sufficiently protected from her wrath
by the Quileute werewolves. Months later in Eclipse, Victoria creates an army of bloodthirsty newborn vampires in Seattle to rise up against the combined forces of the
werewolves and Cullen family. During this battle, both she and her new fighting partner, Riley, are destroyed by Edward and the young werewolf Seth Clearwater. Her supernatural
talent is an ability to know the safe place to escape to.(Victoria is portrayed by Rachelle Lefèvre in the Twilight film.)
Laurent
A dark-haired, olive-toned vampire, Laurent is a member of James' coven in Twilight. When James and Victoria choose to track and murder Bella, Laurent leaves both of them and
travels to Denali, Alaska in hopes of finding solace among a coven of "vegetarian" vampires. However, he does not adopt their strict diet of drinking animal blood, and "cheats"
by occasionally feeding on humans. During this stay he takes a special liking to a vampire named Irina, though the infatuation is not strong enough to keep him there, as he
later returns to Forks in New Moon as a favor to Victoria. During this visit, he stumbles across Bella and tries to kill her, before being ambushed by the Quileute werewolves
and subsequently destroyed.(Laurent is portrayed by Edi Gathegi in the Twilight film.)
Sam Uley
Sam Uley is the leader of the La Push pack. Before becoming a werewolf, he was romantically involved with Leah Clearwater, his high school sweetheart. His relationship with her
started to fall apart after his transformation, because he was forbidden to tell Leah what he had become. Their relationship ended when Sam imprinted on Leah's second cousin,
Emily, and went back on every promise he had ever made to Leah. According to Jacob, Sam feels guilty for betraying her and responsible for the bitter person Leah has become.
When he phases, he is pure black and the largest wolf, until Breaking Dawn when it is noted that Jacob has grown taller than him. He is the pack Alpha, but not by blood; that
role is Jacob's, but he allowed Sam to lead the pack until Breaking Dawn.(Solomon Trimble has been cast to portray Sam in the upcoming Twilight film.)
Quil Ateara
Quil Ateara is a member of the werewolf pack and Jacob's "wingman". He is described as being very muscular. He is only mentioned in passing in the first novel of the series but
becomes somewhat of a regular character as of New Moon. Unlike most other members of the pack, he was happy about becoming a werewolf, since it allowed him to finally have his
friends back and understand what was going on. As a wolf, Quil has chocolate-brown fur
Embry Call
Embry Call has gray fur with dark spots on his back, and is another one of Jacob's "wingmen". He appears briefly in New Moon and Eclipse. Embry calls Bella Swan "vampire girl"
because she hangs out with the Cullen family. His mother was a woman of the Makah tribe, not the Quileutes; since the werewolf traits are inherited from father to son, he is the
half-brother of either Quil Ateara, Jacob Black, or Sam Uley. This
causes some stress within the pack, since all of these men's fathers were married before and at the time of
his birth.
Paul
Paul is prone to angry outbursts which cause him to burst into his wolf form. Paul is one of the bigger wolves, and has dark gray fur. He is the most volatile member of the
pack, and becomes so enraged when he learns that Jacob has told Bella about the pack that he turns into a wolf and attempts to attack her. He currently seems to have no ill
feelings towards Bella or Jacob. Early in Book 2 of Breaking Dawn, Paul is shown to have imprinted on Jacob's older sister, Rachel. This annoys Billy and Jacob because he is
always at their house eating their food; however, Billy is happy that Rachel is staying at home longer because of Paul.
Jared
Jared was the first werewolf to phase after the pack's leader, Sam Uley. He is one of the five werewolves to imprint: he imprinted on Kim, a girl he sat next to in class. Before
he was a werewolf, he never paid any attention to her. After his transformation, he looked at her once and imprinted.
Leah Clearwater
Leah Clearwater is the only female werewolf in the history of the Quileute tribe. She transforms into a werewolf during the events of New Moon, around the same time as her
brother, Seth. This transformation is believed to be what caused the heart attack and death of their father, Harry. She dated Sam Uley for years, until her cousin Emily came to
visit and Sam imprinted on her. Sam thus left Leah for Emily. Leah is thus very bitter and cynical, and constantly antagonizes the pack by thinking about things that the other
pack members want to avoid dwelling on, such as Embry's parentage. She also likes to antagonize Jacob by bringing up the fact that Bella is marrying a vampire and will shortly
become one, when it is clear that Jacob is still in love with Bella.
Seth Clearwater
Seth Clearwater is Leah's younger brother and a member of the La Push pack. He has sandy brown-colored fur. He transforms into a werewolf during the events of New Moon, around
the same time as his sister, Leah. In New Moon and Eclipse he is shown to idolize Jacob Black, and is said to remind Bella of a younger Jacob. During the newborn attack in
Eclipse, Seth stays with Bella and Edward, due to his young age of only fifteen, to act as a connection to the pack. When Victoria and Riley appear, Seth fights and destroys
Riley with Edward's help. In Breaking Dawn he is shown to have developed an unlikely friendship with Edward, and attends his and Bella's wedding. Seth remains a constant
presence throughout the final book in the series. He is initially the only werewolf to feel completely comfortable being around the Cullen family. He also has, according to
Edward, very honest and pure thoughts, something that endears him to the Cullens, and Edward in particular. After Jacob forms his own pack, Seth quickly follows. For most of
Breaking Dawn Seth is Jacob's second-in-command, until he is replaced by Leah at the end of the novel.
Ephraim Black
Ephraim Black, grandfather to Billy Black, was the last chief of the Quileute tribe. He was a werewolf/shape-shifter himself, and the Alpha of the pack of three, which included
Levi Uley and Quil Ateara Sr. (the grandfather of Jacob's friend Quil). He created a treaty with the Cullen family which promised that the werewolves wouldn't expose them as
long as the vampires did not bite any humans.
Charlie Swan
Charlie Swan is the father of Bella Swan and works as a police officer in Forks. His hobbies include fishing with Harry Clearwater and Billy Black, as well as watching various
sports on TV. Charlie married Bella's mother, Renée, just after they both graduated high school and they soon had Bella. Renée divorced Charlie not long after and moved to
Phoenix, Arizona with Bella. Charlie was still in love with her, but had gotten past the fact that she didn't love him anymore. He became accustomed to living alone, except when
Bella started to visit him in the summer. When Bella is seventeen, she moves to Forks to live with him. Initially, Charlie is accepting of Edward as his daughter's boyfriend,
but after the events of New Moon he blames Edward for the deep depression that Bella went into after he left her. Charlie is grateful to Jacob because he was a great friend to
Bella during that difficult time, and he makes it clear that he'd rather Bella choose Jacob over Edward. At the end of Eclipse, Bella and Edward agree to tell Charlie about
their engagement. At the beginning of Breaking Dawn, he is shown to have reluctantly agreed to the marriage. Charlie stays in Bella's life after her transformation, though he is
never informed that she is a vampire. At the end of Breaking Dawn, he and Sue Clearwater have developed a romantic relationship.(Charlie is portrayed by Billy Burke in the Twilight film.)
Billy Black
Billy Black is Jacob Black's father, born and raised in La Push, and an elder of the Quileute tribe. He is described as being heavyset, having a wrinkled face and russet skin,
in a wheelchair, and having black hair and black eyes. His other family members include his two daughters, Rachel and Rebecca, and his deceased wife, Sarah. Billy Black is
directly descended from the last chief of the Quileute tribe, Ephraim Black, who was his grandfather. One of Billy's best friends in Forks is Bella Swan's father, Charlie Swan.
Once Billy is crippled from diabetes[12] and forced to be in a wheelchair, he sells his truck to Charlie to give to Bella. At the end of Twilight, he bribes Jacob to try to
convince Bella to break up with Edward.(Billy Black is portrayed by Gil Birmingham in the Twilight film.)
Tyler Crowley
Tyler Crowley is one of Bella's classmates. In Twilight he nearly hits Bella with his van, but she is saved by Edward. Afterwards, Tyler is desperate to make it up to her and
bombards her with constant apologies and asks Bella to a school dance, to which she refuses. He mistakenly assumes she will go to their prom with him and tells the rest of the
school, only to hear from Edward that Bella will be unavailable to anyone but himself. His constant attention towards Bella causes Lauren, who is interested in Tyler, to resent
Bella.(Tyler is portrayed by Gregory Tyree Boyce in the Twilight film.)
Lauren Mallory
Lauren Mallory is a silver blonde, fishy-eyed girl who is jealous of Bella despite being popular herself. When Bella moves to Forks, the instant attention that she receives
makes Lauren envious, and she remains hostile toward Bella for the rest of Twilight, New Moon, and Eclipse. She is particularly jealous of the attention that Bella receives from
Tyler Crowley, on whom Lauren has a crush. Lauren Mallory also has a sneering sort of voice, which Bella notices when she overhears Lauren talking about her.
Mike Newton
Mike Newton is a friendly boy who initially has a crush on Bella, though Bella does not return the affection. In Twilight he often asks Bella to accompany him on dates, and,
almost always, Bella declines. He has a strong dislike for Edward Cullen. It is with Mike and a group of friends in Twilight that Bella goes to First Beach, where she meets
Jacob and learns that Edward is a vampire. In New Moon, Mike goes to the movies with Jacob and Bella and tries hard to compete with Jacob for Bella's attention. Mike's family
owns a local sporting goods store, which serves as Bella's only job in the series. Mike and Jessica date in Twilight and are together again at Bella and Edward's wedding in
Breaking Dawn, though Edward comments that "Mike is having trouble with improper thoughts around a married woman."(Mike is portrayed by Michael Welch in the Twilight film.)
Jessica Stanley
Jessica Stanley is a classmate of Bella's and her first friend in Forks. She informs Bella about the Cullen family on her first day at school. She tends to be more interested in
Bella's popularity than Bella's actual character, and is sometimes jealous of Mike's affections toward Bella. In an excerpt from Midnight Sun, Edward hears that Jessica's
thoughts toward Bella are actually quite rude, and that she only befriended Bella to share in her attention.[13] Jessica is described as a "chatterbox" with curly dark hair. She
and Bella have a falling out in New Moon due to Bella's depression over Edward's departure, but their friendship ends on a good note at graduation during Eclipse. Jessica
appears briefly in Breaking Dawn as a guest at Bella and Edward's wedding, which she attends with Mike.(Jessica is portrayed by Anna Kendrick in the Twilight film.)
Angela Weber
A classmate of Bella's, Angela Weber is described as being a tall, shy, quiet, and very kind girl. In an excerpt from Midnight Sun, she is revealed to be one of the few of
Bella's newly acquired "friends" that is not planning on using Bella's appeal to their own advantage.[13] She has light brown hair and soft brown eyes. She respects the space of
others, a characteristic that is very much appreciated by Bella, and has a very gentle disposition. Angela plays a minor role in Twilight, but becomes very good friends with
Bella during the events of Eclipse. She has a strong relationship with her boyfriend, Ben Cheney. In Breaking Dawn, her role is limited: her father reads Bella and Edward's vows
at their wedding, and she catches Bella's bouquet.(Angela is portrayed by Christian Serratos in the Twilight film.)
Eric Yorkie
Eric Yorkie is a classmate of Bella's who was immediately interested in her when she moves to Forks. He is described as being an "overly helpful" chess club type, and is very
tall with a poor complexion and hair as black as an oil slick. He is resentful of Mike's similar interest, and later in Twilight is seen walking the other way after Mike is hit
with a snowball. He asks Bella to a school dance, but she declines and he goes with Angela Weber instead. Eric is valedictorian of his graduating class.(Eric is portrayed by Justin Chon in the Twilight film.)
Emily Young
Emily Young is Sam Uley's fiancée and second cousin to Leah Clearwater. While dating Leah, Sam imprinted upon Emily when she visited and began pursuing her. She is described as
having copper skin, raven black hair, and three long disfiguring scars running down the side of her face as the result of Sam phasing into a wolf too close to her. One side of
her face is extremely beautiful, as she was before the scars. These scars pull one of her almond shaped eyes down and also tug on the side of her mouth, causing her to have a
scowl on one side of her face. Despite this, Emily seems to bear no resentment towards Sam or any other members of the pack. Bella feels that Emily is the mother figure to the
pack because she cooks all of their meals and they feel very comfortable and open in her and Sam's house.
Sue Clearwater
Sue Clearwater is the widow of Harry Clearwater, who died during New Moon of a heart attack. Sue has two children, Seth and Leah, who are both werewolves. In Breaking Dawn, Sue
starts spending a lot of time with Charlie and occasionally cooks him meals after Bella moves out of his house. Bella states at the end of Breaking Dawn that Sue and Charlie are
romantically together.
Renée Dwyer
Renée Dwyer married Charlie Swan right after high school, but left with their baby, Bella, and divorced him soon after. Renée is an eccentric, silly person who will brave new
things (like skydiving) and come to her senses later. Bella always felt that she was the mother of their relationship, having to guide Renée away from doing ridiculous things,
and Renée thought of Bella as her middle-aged child. After Renée remarries a much younger baseball player, Phil Dwyer, Bella unselfishly sends herself to live with her dad in
Forks so that Renée and Phil can travel together. Edward describes Renée's mind as being insightful and almost childlike. In Breaking Dawn, Bella is scared to tell her mother
about her engagement to Edward, but Renée believes Bella to be more mature than other teenagers her age and gives them her blessing. Bella says she and her mother look alike,
but that Renée is prettier and has laugh lines. She lives in Phoenix, Arizona in Twilight, and in Jacksonville, Florida throughout the rest of the series. Bella says in Twilight
that her mother is her best friend. After Bella becomes a vampire she doesn't contact her mother, knowing Renée couldn't handle her change like Charlie could.(Renée is portrayed by Sarah Clarke in the Twilight film.)
J. Jenks
Jason Jenks (alias Jason Scott) is a middle aged, balding attorney and forger of legal documents. Alice sends Bella to him when it seems likely that Renesmee and Jacob will need
to go on the run to escape the Volturi. Jenks, having previously worked with Jasper several times, has a great fear of the Cullen family due to Jasper's belief that "some kinds
of working relationships are better motivated by fear than by monetary gain." Bella employs Jenks to forge birth certificates, passports, and a driver's license for Jacob and
Renesmee, and over the course of their relationship he starts to become more comfortable around her than he is with Jasper. An honorable man, he initially expresses reservations
about giving Bella the documents she requests, under the belief that she intends to use them to kidnap Renesmee from her father, despite his fear that this might earn him the
Cullen family's retribution. Bella assures him that this is not the case, and she decides afterwards to take over all relations with Jenks in order to spare him any further
stress that Jasper might cause him.
