Top 10 Best Twilight Characters

The Top Ten
1 Alice Cullen

Alice is a great character. I love her style, bubbly personality, and sense of humor. The only part that annoys me is her intent to torture Bella with clothes. :)

Alice is literally the only character in this damn book series that has any common sense. And to all the Twilight fans out there, don't start with that b.s that the Characters are amazing and that Bella is an inspirational character, blah, blah, blah. No. Bella has absolutely no common sense. Alice is by far the best character.

Alice is a wonderful character. She is the sister I've always wanted. She is funny, nice, and always there for the people who needs her. She has been such a great friend to Bella, a fantastic sister to Rosalie, Emmet, Edward, a amazing lover to Jasper, and a wonderful daughter to Carlisel and Esme. I love her so much!

2 Edward Cullen Edward Cullen is a fictional character in Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series. He is featured in the books Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse and Breaking Dawn, and their corresponding film adaptations, and the as yet unfinished novel Midnight Sun—a re-telling of the events of Twilight from Edward's perspective.

OH MY the movie made him seem so horrible. But in the books and especially Midnight Sun, his character is SO much better. He did still watch bella sleep without her permission, and does control her. red flags.

Edward is easily the best character. He has the superpower to sparkle at will. He reminds me of Santa Claus. He sees you when your sleeping, he knows when your awake. Santa is good so Edward is too. He is a sparkling, baseball playing blood sucker. JK I'm team Jacob. I hate Edward.

I'm a guy, and I love Edward Cullen's personality. Those arrogant Edward-haters dishonestly accuse him of being "abusive" with NO realistic proof. No! they're liars. Edward is a true gentleman because he's gentle, soft, protective, supportive, and--best of all--humble.

3 Bella Swan

Bella's a great character. Yes, she's a bit of a Mary Sue, but her good traits balance it all out. She's kind, selfless, smart, and funny. She does have some bad traits, but every good character does. She's clumsy and a little naive, which balances out her character. I don't like a character that only has good traits.

She is... sort of a mary sue. I have a love-hate relationship with the whole series, so my opinion can easily waver. but I really like bella as a character, not as much as, say a role model.

I love Bella. I understand most people don't like that she always gets her way, but 18 years old is old enough to make your own decisions.

4 Jacob Black

Jacob Black is a good character. He has good traits but he's a bit of a jerk to the vampires. I like how he finally let go of Bella when he realized she was passionate about someone else.

This is my favorite character throughout the whole book and the only well-developed main character. I think that's because we really only see glimpses of his life, but they are important glimpses that represent significant moments in his life.

Just within the first book, where he's not featured much, you learn that his mother died when he was young. He lives with his disabled father, whom he helps a lot, and he never complains about it. That alone reveals much more about what he's been through and what his personality is like than you learn about Bella in the entire series.

Now, I may be completely biased in my opinion of this character due to Taylor Lautner's attractiveness, but when I was reading the books, the most enjoyable part was in New Moon. During this time, Bella was spending time with Jacob, and I could feel his kindness and perceptiveness. Jacob had the ability to read Bella in ten minutes better than Edward ever could.

That's the main reason why I was Team Jacob and severely disappointed when Bella went back to Edward, old tendencies and all. As a general Jacob fan, I'd say Bella doesn't deserve someone as great as him. However, Bella is who he wants, and he deserves to have what he wants. Life has been beyond unfair to him, so he deserves Bella.

5 Jasper Hale

I think Jasper is the greatest character of all time. He is so funny. The fact that he had no emotion in the first movie, was great. He is also very cute

Honestly, Jasper is my fave character. I feel so bad for him, everything thinks bad of him because he is newest to the animal diet. My theory is, he feels everyone else's thirst as well, and that's how he snapped at Bella's b-day. Besides, Edward pushing her into glass just drove him over the edge. So, it's all Edward's fault.

He has a lot of charisma and shows a lot of struggle that I think makes him really realistic as a vampire, because he's trying not to kill Bella. Plus, he's good for Alice.

6 Carlisle Cullen

Carlisle is an incredible character, and is so great that no human could make it to his level nature. The fact that he's a vampire makes him a paradox. As he's traditionally viewed by all whom would come to discover his true identity, and yet he possesses characteristics that are among that of what some great figures such as Jesus (not being preachy) are seen to possess. Qualities that transcend humanistic nature, and give a genuine sense of what selfless compassionate righteousness is.
Carlisle is worthy of his own series, as he's clearly the best character of them all.

Carlisle is literally the best. He's so selfless and sweet. He cares about everyone so much and never harms anyone. He helps Jacob after his injuries, he's the one who starts the vegetarian Olympic coven, and just so great! So underrated and deserves to be #1 honestly.

Carlisle is number one, he is protective of his family, he is in control, he is calm when it comes to danger and conflict and have a sound mind, he is smart, he is sweet and loving. The one who choose the life of a vampire vegetarian! How can he not be the top character! Would love to watch his own movie, or T.V. serie, just need more of him and what he is all about, how he came to be, even if we have seen some of it and know some of the back story, ITS NOT ENOUGH! more Carlisle!

7 Rosalie Hale

Rosalie was the only realist in the movie. She only changed when the baby she wish she could have came through Bella. She loved Emmitt and all the Cullans but wishes she never had the opportunity to meet them because she above all else believes that life is meant to end; because the middle is what makes it worth it.

I love Alice and Rosalie. But Rosie has to take the win. At first she's not nice to Bella, but all she's really trying to do is to stop her throwing her life away. Rosalie is so sweet and when Renesmee comes around and Bella wasn't there she treated Renesmee as her own. Personally I love Rosie.

Why is Bella higher up on this list than Rosalie. Rosalie is a far more interesting character than her.

8 Charlie Swan

The most underrated character in the series. He is so caring, yet Bella doesn't even put that into consideration. He loves her so much, and he loved Renee too. I think Charlie deserves so much more than Bella.

Charlie is very funny. He just lets Bella be because he doesn't really know how to raise a daughter. He is doing great, though.

He's the only normal one.
A cool guy that you could talk to whenever.

9 Emmett Cullen

That big brother you always wanted. Funny, supportive and strong

Emmett, oh my god. Everything is awesome!

Emmett is(like Rosalie says) a monkey boy. He is a great character.

10 Victoria

I can relate to her wanting to kill Bella, cause yes, that is hard to get over when somebody else kills your loved one.

Shes the main antagonist if the whole twilight saga and I think its cool how manipulitive and evil she can be..and her hair colour is cool

Shes just such a cool villain and she should be higher up on this list

The Contenders
11 Seth Clearwater

Seth is my favourite! It's just so sweet how he's friends with Edward, and I think both him and his sister are really cool.

So loyal and won't hate people just because he's supposed to. Funny too! Should be near the top.

I love Seth he's just to cute and the way he looks up to Jacob is so cute he's like a little puppy!

12 Jane

Jane, the best character and one of my top favorites. Actually, she is my number one most favorite character. I don't understand why people would hate her. I personally like the Cullens side more over the Voulturi, but Jane is my most favorite character if I had to pick from every role in the whole Saga.

The best character in the whole saga. Her gift has got no parallel. She is the coolest and all those haters are just jealous of her.

A cold hart shows the perfection of mastering the mind, Jane is awesome!

13 Renesmee Cullen

Here's the reason she's last (or near last): She's a nothing character who is literally a plot device to solve all conflicts without any work put into. She literally makes no sense and it becomes very clear that her existence and traits are just that to cater to Jacob and his fans - and a pretty poor job of it as a Jacob fan. Her existence literally makes New Moon, Eclipse and the werewolves pointless because if you took them out the book would flow perfectly and more cohesively and all because of this plot hole of a character. We all thought Bella was a Mary Sue - well enter Renesemee, the epitome of perfection, everyone who meets her loves her and those who don't are immediately villainized and killed for such a thought. She is the specialist of all snowflakes - at first the only of her kind and then the only of her kind not to kill her mother. She's the most powerful of all the "mutants" - only one with psychic powers to get past Bella's sheild, and doesn't even need to talk to communicate. Seriously this wasn't even wish fulfillment Mary Sue, this was Mary "I'm too lazy to write her anyway else" Sue which is ten times more annoying because, as weird as this may sound, we know Meyer could have done better. Renesemee was basically the cherry on top of the craptastic Breaking Dawn.

14 Esme Cullen

Esme is an incredibly strong character. After living a horrible, traumatic human life, she still had the will to love, live and prevail! I love Esme for so many reasons. One is that she reminds me of my Mom, just like Carlisle does for my Dad.

Esme is the matriarch and the motherly figure. She and Carlisle call all the shots, she is so kind to everyone and she wants to help out. Jane is a merciless pain

Esme is the best character in the entire series! She's so kind and amazing, why is Jane in front of her for being merciless?

15 James
16 Leah Clearwater

She's the the only strong female in the book. When her true love leaves her - does she curl up in a ball and do nothing for months? No, she continues her life because she knows life moved on and so should she. Granted she's bitter about, but she has every right to be. I mean Sam may not have had a choice, but Emily did and apparently she decided she needed her cousin's fiancé. That kind of betrayal isn't something that deserves her forgiveness, they deserve her pain and more.

Leah is the best werewolf (shapeshifter) around, shes better than jacob, sam and stupid ugly emily who can't do anything. She sacrifced herself to save Esme

It is so sad when Leah dies in breaking dawn part 2
Because she tried (and failed) to save Esme.

17 Laurent

Oh no! It's Bob Marley come back as a vampire to tourture us with his weed songs

18 Aro

Aro is the best character in the series :3
Honestly, I kinda get the feeling people judge characters by their looks here, and not by their real qualities and plot qualities. I mean, Jacob is a pretty guy but he's (no offense) kind of a jerk. If he really loved Bella, he'd let her be happy and stop like... Causing her pain. I agree with Alice topping the list, I mean she is fabulous. Although a little shallow... Edward is a character I CAN'T abide, (so sorry...) just because he can be mean at times and selfish and unfaithful. Jasper is 4th because he's hot (k only part true) and he's a very interesting character, even creepier than Are in my opinion, and quite badass. Bella... Just no. Rosalie deserves to be higher. A very realistic and sweet character, who has the appropriate attitude to week sorry for herself Bella. Jane totally deserves her place, so frail in appearance but so brilliantly cold and calculating. Victoria, same. Carlisle, Emmett, Esme, Seth, Leah... Should all be so much higher. Really amazing dudes. And same for Alec and Demetri and Heidi: All tough butt amazing characters, like 10 000 times more powerful than Bella and Edward. And holy hell how is Kate not on the list?! Her power is the best!
Well, that was my very long opinion rant. But Aro is intriguing and funny and badass and super powerful and he could kill Bella (YES) k maybe not that far but yeah,... He needs to be higher.

19 Angela Weber

A seriously underrated character. So what if she didn't get much screen time or wasn't a main character? Where can you find a genuine and kind person nowadays?

20 Bree Tanner
21 Jennifer
22 Benjamin

I just love his...style, morals, all that stuff. I love how he chose his own path even when everyone was telling him what to do. An underrated favorite of mine :)

23 Sam Uley
24 Riley Biers
25 Jessica Stanley
