Jacob Black, a member of the Quileute tribe who is also a shape shifter taking a wolf form, comforts the distraught and severely depressed Bella.

Fellow coven member Laurent says that James 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 he lured Bella to an empty ballet studio and nearly killed 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.

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 self-preservation.Victoria is portrayed by Rachelle Lefevre in the films Twilight and New Moon.[3] Bryce Dallas Howard will replace Lefevre in the role for the third film, Eclipse.

Embry Call

Embry Call is a fictional character from Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series. 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 therefore 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.Krys Hyatt was recognized as playing the part of Embry in the Twilight film, though his role was uncredited. Embry will be portrayed by Kiowa Gordon in the New Moon film.

Angela Weber

Angela Weber is a fictional character from Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series.

A classmate of Bella's, Angela Weber is described as being kind, shy, and somewhat insightful. She likes to give space to others, and this characteristic is very much appreciated by Bella. She plays a minor role in Twilight, but after Bella's depression in New Moon they become very good friends. She is portrayed as one of the most decent human characters in the series. 

Angela played a minor part in Twilight, as one of the many friends that Bella Swan made after moving to Forks. She was also in Bella's Biology II class. Angela went shopping with Bella and Jessica for dresses for the spring dance in Port Angeles. She was the one who convinced Jessica to let Bella go with Edward. 

In New Moon, Angela becomes one of Bella's best friends because of her kind, gentle, and non-judgmental personality. Bella also enjoys that Angela does not talk as much as some other people, such as Jessica, and is a much nicer person than some of the others that she hangs out with. Angela's father is a Lutheran minister, and she has two 9-year-old twin brothers, Joshua and Isaac.

Angela and Bella are also fairly close friends in Eclipse and hang out together several times. One example of this is when Bella helps Angela address her graduation invitations. Bella enjoys hanging out with her, but is regretful because she knows that she will soon become a vampire and will not be able to see Angela anymore. She mentions that she will be going to college in Seattle with her boyfriend, Ben. Angela was present in Bella's nightmare along with Bella's other friends. In the dream, it features all of her friends, including Angela, dead, covered in blood. Christian Serratos mentioned in an interview that she cannot wait to film that particular scene.

Angela does not play a large part in this novel; she attends Bella and Edward's wedding and catches Bella's bouquet. Her father performs Bella and Edward's wedding as he is a Lutheran minister. 

Angela was noted and even tolerated by Edward, who described her thoughts as "unusually kind" and often tries to give her as much mental privacy as possible. She was noted to think "Bella seems just as shy as me. I'll bet today is really hard for her. I wish I could say something... but it would probably just sound stupid..." Edward wants to help her in some way for being such a good friend to Bella, but stuggles to find anything she wants for herself in her mind because her thoughts are so selfless. He does, eventually, learn that she is interested in Ben Cheney, and with Emmett's help, gets Ben to ask her out by making him believe that he himself wants to ask Angela out.

His other family members include his two daughters, Rachel and Rebecca, and his deceased wife, Sarah.

Once Billy is crippled from diabetes[24] and forced to be in a wheelchair, he sells his truck to Charlie to give to Bella.

Laurent

Laurent is a fictional character from Stephanie Meyer's Twilight series.

Laurent was a nomadic vampire who was a member of James' coven. Following James' encounter with the Olympic Coven, Laurent became a member of the vegetarian Denali Coven, though he often disregarded their dietary guidelines. He was killed by the shape-shifters of La Push after an attempt to kill Bella Swan. 

Laurent was an original member of James' coven. When James and Victoria chose to hunt Bella Swan, Laurent told the Cullens everything about them.

After this, Laurent went to live with the Denali Coven; despite living with "vegetarian" vampires, Laurent cheated the diet as evidenced by his red irises. 

When Bella visited Edward's meadow, Laurent stumbled across her, having returned to Forks as a scout for the vengeful Victoria. He attempted to kill Bella (he was currently hunting when he found her) and he reasoned that being killed by him was a better fate than being found by Victoria. However, Laurent was killed by Jacob Black in his werewolf form and four other werewolves before he could strike. Strangely, he recognized the werewolves for what they truly were. This may have been because he accompanied James on a hunt for a werewolf across Siberia years beforehand. However Bella had no idea as to what these strange creatures were so she had also fled in terror after the wolves chased Laurent out of the clearing. 

Laurent is described as an olive skinned, dark haired vampire with a French accent. Bella Swan considered Laurent to be easily the most attractive out of himself, James and Victoria. He appeared to have little sense of loyalty as he betrayed James's plans, his long time coven leader, to the Cullens. In addition, he also betrayed the Denali Coven by disregarding their vegetarian diet. Laurent also turned on the Cullens by trying to kill Bella. 

Laurent's only known romantic relationship was with Irina from the Denali Coven. When he was killed, Irina became extremely angry and depressed. It was this that stopped the Denali Coven from aiding the Cullen Family against the newborn army of Seattle and what made her turn Renesmee Cullen in as an immortal child to the Volturi. It can be assumed she remained in love with him, as she avenged him and died for it.

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.
