History Characters / TheTwilightSaga

* FlatCharacter:

%%* FourTemperamentEnsemble: Phlegmatic

[[folder:In General]]

* FirstNameBasis: Bella almost always calls him "Charlie" instead of "Dad". She only uses "Dad" when she's particularly emotional or upset.

* HeroesWantRedheads: Edward, sort of. His hair is a coppery color.

* ImmortalInfertility: Being a vampire renders a person "frozen in time" and therefore unable to become pregnant. Before her vampire transformation, she wanted children and now cannot have them. This is a source for a lot of her hostility towards Bella, because Bella wants to be a vampire and would willingly give up the one thing Rosalie truly wants and cannot have.

* MindRape: Most of the Volturi's psychic talents are variations of this trope which adds to the coven's formidability. Notable examples include [[TouchTelepathy Aro]], [[AgonyBeam Jane]], [[SenseLossSadness Alec]] and [[ScarilyCompetentTracker Demetri]].

* TheRenfield: The entire Volturi guard are this towards the leaders, especially Aro, because of Chelsea's ability of [[MoreThanMindControl relationship manipulation]] (see above).

* RedAndBlackAndEvilAllOver: Justified since they are vampires.

* HeroOfAnotherStory: Before she fell in with James, she qualified as one, surprisingly enough. In her [[AllThereInTheManual backstory]] she was a mistreated servant girl who was turned by her sister Anne and joined a coven of outcasts that included her sister’s creator. Two years later, the Volturi attacked them; Victoria and Heidi were the only survivors, and the latter was taken into the coven under Chelsea’s influence.

* TheBigGuy: Felix is this for the Volturi guard.
* BloodKnight: He shows an eagerness for fighting as displayed in 'Literature/NewMoon'' when Edward aggressively steps forward in defense of Bella multiple times. Felix is also always part of the Volturi's punitive missions, being their primary physical enforcer and a keen executioner.
* TheBrute: Felix is a huge, muscular vampire whose physicality and SuperStrength exceeds that of most vampires. He rivals Emmett in terms of strength and size. His intimidating appearance is described by Bella as being like that of an iron-spiked cudgel.

* NoSympathy: She's one of the few protagonists who doesn't show much sympathy for Bella, especially in ''Literature/BreakingDawn'' where she gives her a ReasonYouSuckSpeech.

* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: He looks 17, but is really 108 years old.

A 108 year old vampire gifted with the ability to read minds. Having first encountered Bella in biology class, he's quick to discover that her floral scented blood evokes an [[HorrorHunger intense, lethal craving]]. But rather than giving in, he settles for [[StalkingIsLove sneaking into her room at night]], intrigued by the fact that he can't read her mind. Though he resists the urge to eat her, he'll stop at nothing to claim he's a [[InformedFlaw soulless monster]] unworthy of redemption. And despite his claims of being a threat to her life, he (a century old vampire) decides it's fine to pursue [[SingleTargetSexuality a relationship]] with a [[MayflyDecemberRomance 17 year old girl]] anyway. He was turned when he was 17 and dying of [[UsefulNotes/TheSpanishFlu Spanish flu]].

* WritersCannotDoMath: Edward claims that he was born in 1901 and that that was 107 years ago, but when you look it up in the timeline you find that the year in which ''Literature/Twilight2005'' took place was 2005, effectively putting Edward in his 104th year.
