***For Charlie Swan and Renee Dwyer, see Main Characters. 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. Harry Clearwater Harry Clearwater was an elder of the Quileute tribe, having died from a heart attack during New Moon. He left behind a wife, Sue, a daughter Leah, and a son, Seth. Once Bella learns that Jacob is a werewolf, it is Harry and Billy Black who invite Charlie Swan to La Push to entertain him and keep him safe. Emily Young Emily Young is Sam Uley’s fiance 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 right side of her face and down her arms as the result of Sam phasing into a wolf too close to her. The left 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 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. Mike Newton Mike Newton is a friendly boy who initially has a crush on Bella, though Bella does not return his affections. 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, where Edward comments that “Mike’s having difficulty with improper thoughts about a married woman.” 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. Angela Weber Angela Weber is a classmate of Bella’s who 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. 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. 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. 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. 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. Â
