Rosalie Hale

Rosalie Lillian Hale also known as Rosalie Cullen is another of the vegetarian members of the vampiric Olympic Coven in the Twilight Saga written by Stephenie Meyer. She is married to mate, Emmett Cullen and her family consists of Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Bella,Renesmee, Alice Cullen and her "twin", Jasper Hale.

Unlike most of the other of her kind, Rosalie and her family have adopted a vegetarian diet, surviving solely on the blood of animals, and sparing that of humans. Also, residing in Forks, Washington, she lives with her family of vampires and tries to carry out an almost invisible lifestyle. For the most part of the saga, Rosalie goes to school with her brothers and sister while her adoptive parents (Carlisle and Esme Cullen) do not.

In her human life, Rosalie was born extremely beautiful and into a rich family. She was adored and praised every day, and this made her very self-centered. She was never really ambitious for herself, and knew she was gorgeous, and knew that would take her through life - which is all she ever wanted. She met Royce King II at the bank her father worked at. In a very short amount of time, Rosalie and Royce were engaged to be married.

When out to visit her good friend, Vera, she realised that she very much envied her friend for her obvious love with her husband which she simply did not have with Royce, as their relationship was completely based on physical allure. Vera also had a young child, which Rosalie also desired for herself.

Walking home this night, however, everything was to change. She bumped into her drunken fiancée and his friends, to which he bragged about Rosalie's perfection, which continued on to her being beaten and raped by all of the seven men, then left in the street to die.

Carlisle Cullen found the 18 year old, almost dead and lying in the gutter and changed her into a vampire by injecting his venom into her body. He thought that he could be Edwards lover, but Edward and Rosalie have only ever loved each other as brother and sister.

When in a forest in Gatlinburg, Tennesee, two years after her big change, she came across young Emmett, who had been mauled by a bear. She carried him over 100 miles to Carlisle, whom she asked to change Emmett into a vampire so that he would not die. Emmett and Rosalie fell completely in love and often get re-married and live away from the Cullen family as newly-weds for short periods of times.

When Alice and Jasper joined the coven, Rosalie and Jasper decided to play the part of twins, because of the similarity in their features. To this day, they still pretend to be twins adopted by Esme.

Rosalie always seemed to have hated Bella in the first three books, but she explains her off handedness to Bella in Eclipse, and in Breaking Dawn the pair become very close and she becomes very protective of Bella and the baby. It turns out that because Bella wants to "throw away" her humanity and become a vampire, Rosalie has always resented her.

[edit] Appearance and Personality

During her human years, Rosalie was extremely beautiful and vain, and this did not change when she became a vampire, as her beauty became perfection (she is said to be hard to look away from) and she has become even more egotistical.

As a human she has pale skin and violet coloured eyes, which became red as a new-born and golden once all of the human blood had eradicated itself from her blood and only the animal blood she lives on remained. These, however, darken to black when she becomes thirsty. She has pale blond coloured hair and stands at a good height of 5'9".

[edit] Abilities

Her extreme beauty is classed as another ability of Rosalie as well as the basic vampiric abilities.

[edit] Family

Her current family consists of Emmett; her husband, Alice, her adoptive sister, her adoptive brothers Edward and Jasper, adoptive parents Carlisle and Esme Cullen, adoptive sister-in-law Bella and Rosalie's niece that she literally adores, Renesmee Cullen.

[edit] Enemies

While Rosalie has no enemies, she does rather resent Bella because Rosalie feels she is being stupid in wanting to become a vampire and throw away her human life, when this is all that Rosalie ever wanted.

[edit] Casting

It was released in 2008 that Nikki Reed was casted to play the extremely beautiful Rosalie Hale in the Twilight Saga films.
