Alistair
--Born: Unknown. He's assumed to be about 800 years old, though.
--Species: Vampire. Creator unknown.
--Talent: Tracking. he feels a pull, an inexplicable urge, to go in the
direction of whoever he may be tracking.
--Facts: He has dark hair, an english accent, and scarlet eyes. He's a bit soft in the head, and conflict of any kind freaks him out. He's probably still hiding under a rock due to the Voluri's recent visit to Forks.

Amun, Benjamin, Kebi and Tia
--Born: Unknown. They all reside in Egypt, and it is assumed by their names that they were born there. Benjamin and Tia are younger than Amun and Kebi.
--Martial Status: Unknown. But Amun and Kebi are partners, as well as Benjamin and Tia.
--Species: Vampire. I am positive that Benjamin was created by Amun, and I'm fairly sure that that goes for Kebi and Tia as well. Amun is assumed to be an ancient, so who knows who created him.
--Talents: Benjamin can control the elements. Earth, Wind, Fire, and Water are all under his control, if he wishes it.
--Facts: Amun is very clearly the leader. Kebi doesn't speak to anyone but him, and sometimes Benjamin and Tia. Benjamin and Tia were physically younger when they were changed, and are assumed to be around as old as Edward, but then again, that's just my guesstimate. They all have scarlet eyes and black hair.

Jacob Black
--Born: February, 1990. Age 16, La Push, WA
--Species: Werewolf. Or, to be more exact, shape-shifter. the change is triggered by prolonged vampire presence.
--Parents: Billy and (the late) Sarah Black
--Siblings: Twins Rachel and Rebecca, one married, one engaged.
--Imprintee: Renesmee Cullen
--Facts: 6'9"-7'1" tall, Native American appearance (tan skin, high cheekbones, black eyes) and hugely muscular. He's Bella's best friend, though imprinting on her baby girl has caused some...strain in their relationship. That's why he's been included in the vampire index, though. Jacob loves his car, the Rabbit, and is 'Bella's favorite mechanic'. He is the Alpha of his pack, which includes Leah and Seth Clearwater, along with Embry Call and Quil Aterara.

Carmen and Eleazar
--Born: 300-400 years ago, both in Spain.
--Martial Status: Unknown. They are mates, however.
--Species: Vampire. Whoever changed them is unknown.
--Talents: Eleazar can detect what other Vampire's talents are, or if a human would make a talented vampire. He was the first one to shed some light on the subject of Bella's mysterious talent..
--Facts: They live with Kate, Tanya and Irina in a cabin in Denali-hence the name "The Denali Coven". They, along with the Denali sisters, are 'vegetarian' vampires, therefore, they have golden eyes, like the Cullens. Eleazar was a part of the Volturi guard for a while, using his talent to help Aro find others to recruit.
Carmen and Eleazar have found their soul mate in each other.

Charlotte and Peter
--Born: Between 1910 and 1940
--Species: Vampire. Created by Maria or one of her most trusted accomplices (possibly Jasper).

--Siblings: Cynthia, younger sibling
--Martial Status: Married to Jasper Hale (sometimes Cullen)
--Species: Vampire. Changed by an unknown vampire, who was then killed by James

--Child: Renesmee Cullen
--Species: Vampire. Changed by Edward after Renesmee's violent birth, September 10th, 2006.
--Talent: She has a mental shield she can put up around herself and others, to protect from any other vampire who has a talent that works inside the mind. (Edward's gift is blocked, but Alice's works fine)
--Facts: She is 5'4" with thick brown hair and golden eyes. She is best friends with werewolf, Jacob, and her sister-in-law, Alice. She's pretty smart , and enjoys reading, especialy 'Wuthering Heights", and other such novels. She has amazing self control for a newborn vampire, and she loves her half-human daughter to death.
Bella adores Edward, and has found something that trumps a soul-mate in him.

--Facts: He has blonde hair, and golden eyes, and is described as looking like Zeus' 'younger, better looking brother'.
Carlisle is a doctor. He has trained himself to be nearly immune to the scent of blood, so that he can do what he loves without discomfort. He has never tasted human blood, nor has he ever taken a life. He's also brilliant, and he loves to read, and he was once part of the Volturi.
Carlisle has found his soul-mate in Esme.

He loves & adores Bella to the point of an unhealthy obsession. Needless to say, she's his more-than-soul-mate.

Emmett Cullen
--Born: Emmett McCarty
--Martial Status: Married to Rosalie Hale
--Siblings: An unknown amount. All we know is that he was part of a large Irish family. (Obviously, I'm talking about human siblings here xD)
--Species: Vampire. Changed by Carlisle after being mauled by a bear and taken to safety 100 miles away by Rosalie, who found him while she was hunting.
--Facts: He is 6'5", with curly black hair and golden eyes. He's also quite muscular, and freakishly intimidating at first. But he's Edward & Bella's favorite brother. His favorite food source is angry grizzly bear (he's never gotten over that first loss...). Emmett enjoys playing vampire (amp'd up) sports, and competition of any kind. He's also in denial at the moment because Bella can beat him at arm wrestling.
Emmett's soul-mate is Rosalie.

Esme is Carlisle's soul-mate.

Renesmee Cullen
--Born: Renesmee Carlie Cullen, September 10th, 2006, Forks, WA
--Parents: Bella and Edward Cullen
--Nickname: Nessie
--Species: Half-human, half-vampire
--Talent: Just by touching you, Rensmee can show you what she's thinking. It's like the opposite of her Edward's gift, but not even Bella's shield is immune to it.
--Facts: Rensemee has bronze, curly hair, ivory skin, and milk-chocolate colored eyes. She's even more beautiful than Rosalie. She grows at an incredible rate, both physically and mentally, 1 month taking the place of 6, although that will slow down as she gets older. At exactly 1 week old she could speak with perfect diction, and at 3 weeks she could walk better than some humans. At 3 moths she looked to be about 4 years old, and she could read, write, have an intelligent conversation (which is more than I can say for myself), talk, dance and hunt quite gracefully. At 7 years old she will cease growing, and will resemble an 18-24 year old. Jacob Black imprinted on her, who is immortal, since he's a werewolf. Renesmee loves her entire family, jacob, charlie, and the werewolves, and she loves to read classic poetry.

Garrett
--Born: sometime right before or during the Revolutionary War
--Martial Status: Single, though he's recently fallen in love with Kate.
--Species: Vampire. Creator unknown.
--Facts: He is a patriot. He has scarlet eyes, though they may soon turn gold if he makes good on his promise to Kate ("I'll follow you anywhere, woman"). He's very brave and loves adventure, but he's also a hothead and loves to debate. At the moment he's a nomad. His soul-mate is Kate of the Denali Clan.

Jasper Hale (somtimes Jasper Cullen)
--Born: Jasper Whitlock, 1843, Houston, Texas. Aged 20.
--Martial Status: Married to Alice Cullen
--Nickname: Jazz
--Species: Vampire. Changed by Maria, a 'general' of sorts, during the Southern Vampire Wars.
--Talent: Jasper can feel and manipulate the emotions of those around him. His talent works on Bella and her protégées because it's not a mental thing, but a physical thing-He actually calms your system down, or excites it, etc.
--Facts: He's 6'3", with blonde hair and golden eyes. He usually passes for Rosalie's brother. Jasper enjoys more scholarly pastimes, philosophy being one of his favorite subjects. He fought in several of the southern battles, and is tattooed with vampire bite marks (vampire venom is the only thing that can scar their skin) as a result. in his human days, he was the youngest Confederate soldier in the Civil War to be promoted to 'General'. Jasper's soul-mate is Alice, and he absolutely adores her.

Rosalie Hale
--Born: Rosalie Lillian Hale, Rochester, New York, 1915. Aged 18.
--Martial Status: Married to Emmett Cullen.
--Nickname: Rose
--Siblings: Two unnamed younger brothers (obviously I mean human brothers)
--Species: Vampire. Changed by Carlisle after things not appropriate for neo discussion.
--Facts: She is 5'9", with blonde hair, golden eyes, and the most perfect face on earth. Not joking, she really is the most lovely thing around. Except, possibly, for Nessie. Rosalie is usually shallow, though he can in fact be fairly thoughtful at times. She despises immortality, and would give up anything, even Emmett, to be human again. Emmett is her soul-mate.

Irina, Kate and Tanya
--Born: Nearly 1,000 years ago; they are all three Slavic, but not biological sisters.
--Martial Status: Irina & Tanya are single; Kate and Garrett are mates.
--Species: Vampire. Changed by their 'mother' Sasha, who was later set-upon by the Volturi for creating an immortal child, the ultimate vampiric taboo.
--Talent: Kate can send an electric shock through herself, electrocuting whoever has the misfortune to be touching her. This doesn't work on Bella, even though she's actually shocking you, therefore being physical and not mental.
--Facts: Irina had long blonde hair and golden eyes, and had found her soul-mate in Laurent. She was killed by the Volturi.
Kate has strawberry blonde curls & golden eyes. She has found her soul-mate in Garrett.
Tanya has blonde hair and golden eyes. She made a play for Edward some-70 years ago, and I'm pretty sure she's still not resigned to the fact that Edward's blissfully married and an adoring father.
They all three live(d) with Carmen and Eleazar in Denali, Alaska. the three sisters discovered 'vegetarianism' on their own, without any outside help. They were the vampires that originally defined the 'succubus', and over time they began to pity their hapless prey. They also refer to themselves as the Cullens' cousins.

James, Laurent and Victoria.
--Born: Unknown. All three were nomads.
--Martial status: most likely unmarried, though Victoria and James were mates, and Laurent found his soul-mate in Irina.
--Species: Vampire. Whoever changed them is unknown.
--Talents: James was a tracker, a bit like Alistair, or Demetri of the Volturi guard.
It is suggested that Victoria had some kind of talent for evasion, but nothing's concrete.
--Facts: They are all three dead. James was killed by Edward, Emmett and Jasper after he attempted to make a meal of Bella. Victoria later attempted to kill Bella, in retaliation for what Edward had done to her mate, but Edward killed her too. Laurent was killed by the Quileute pack after attempting to eat Bella. [normally, this is where I would put in some bad joke about Bella and her deliciousness, but I will spare you all the horror of it] Laurent had a french accent and black hair, Victoria had fiery red hair, and James was creepy. They all had scarlet eyes, and they were all nomads, traveling together mostly for convenience. Laurent left James and Victoria after James started to track Bella, because he didn't want to be a part of it. That's when he met Irina (and the rest of the Denali coven). Victoria later made a huge newborn army, in an attempt to wipe out Bella and the Cullens. It backfired.

Kachiri, Senna, and Zafrina
--Born: Unkknown. They were born and still live in a rainforest in South America
--Martial Status: Single
--Species: Vampire. Their creator is unknown.
--Talent: Zafrina can make others see whatever she wants them too see, a bit like a virtual reality video game (but much more realistic). Bella and her protégées are immune to it.
--Facts: They are all three very tall, with black hair, and a dark undertone to their chalky skin. They have scarlet eyes, and appear very wild. Even as a vampire, Bella is wary of them. During their stay with the Cullens, Zafrina becomes very attached to Renesmee. It is unclear as to whether or not they are biological sisters, but they're all three very close to each other. They are referred to as the Amazon Coven.

Siobhan, Liam and Maggie
--Born: Unknown. They all three reside in Ireland, making up the Irish Coven.
--Martial Status: Siobhan (pronounced shu-vaughn) and Liam are mates. In some ways Maggie is like their daughter.
--Talents: Maggie can tell if any statement is a lie. She can't read your mind, she can just tell when she's hearing the truth, and when she's not.
Siobhan can almost......will something she wants to come to pass. It's like super-effective positive thinking.
--Species: Vampire. Creator unknown.
--Facts: Siobhan has a very large, commanding presence; she and Carlisle go way back. Liam is her mate, and is quiet. It's very clear who wears the pants. Maggie is also rather quiet, though she's been known to be quite fierce if she needs to be. They all have scarlet eyes.

Stefan and Vladimir
--Born: Unknown.About 2 millennia ago
--Species: Vampire. Creator(s) unknown.
--Martial Status: Single
--Facts: Stefan has ash blonde hair, Vladimir has dark hair. They were both considered 'Vampire Royalty' once, but the Volturi de-throned them, an act that has never been forgiven. their skin is much like Aro, Caius & Marcus', but their scarlet eyes are not cloudy like the Volturi's
Together they make up the Romanian Coven.

Charlie Swan
--Born: 1964 In forks, WA.
--Species: Human
--Child: Bella Cullen
--Martial Status: Divorced, although it's suggested that's he more than friendly with Sue Clearwater...
--Facts: Charlie is the Forks Chief of Police. He enjoys fishing, televised anything, and good cooking. Although it's not always obvious, he adores his daughter, Bella. Charlie has brown eyes and curly, thinning brown hair. He's included in this index because, though many don't realie it, he's is centeral to both Bella AND parts of the plot. Including the Forks part.
And I'm kinda obsessed with him. Don't ask why.

The Volturi
-x-This has been condensed into one enry because not much is known about them. As time goes on I may or may not separate this into different entries.-x-
--Born: Approx. 2-3 millenia ago. The wives and the guard were created later. (Didyme was Aro's biological sister and Marcus' wife. Aro later...erm, disposed of Didyme after she and Marcus began having second thoughts about the Volturi's mission. Marcus had a gift Aro couldn't afford to lose, so he eliminated the problem. Marcus never learned the truth, and he never got over Didyme)
--Species: Vampire. No one knows who created Aro, but he created his 'brothers' and most likely some of the guard.
--Members: Volturi-Marcus, Caius, & Aro.
Wives-Didyme, Athenodora, & Sulpicia
Guard-Heidi, Santiago, Corin, Chelsea, Afton, Felix, Demetri, Jane, Alec and Renata
--Talents: With a single touch, Aro can see every thought a person's ever had.
Marcus can feel the ties that bond people; the relationships they have. Friends, lovers, families, allies, even enemies. Marcus sees it all.
Didyme was perpetually happy, and therefor made everyone around her happy as well. Many fell in love with her, but she returned only Marcus' love.
Renata is like a physical shield. Anyone that comes within 10 feet of her suddenly feels compelled to go in a different direction, although obviously she has to choose to utilize this ability; it isn't unintentional, like Bella's.
Demetri is a tracker. What he does is similar to mind reading, although he doesnt actually hear your thoughts. He follows the....the tenor of your mind.
Jane & Alec are twins, thought to be between 13 & 16 years old. they were being burned at the stake when Aro massacred their village in order to save them. Their talents are especially intense because of it. Jane can make you think you're feeling horrible, mind numbing pain (think 'crucio' from Harry Potter). Alec does the opposite. He makes you undergo complete sensory deprivation. No sight, smell, feeling (touch), taste or sound. Both of these gifts work inside the mind, so, again, Bella and he protégées would be immune.
--Facts: Aro & Marcus have jet-black hair, while Caius' is snow-white. They have very strange skin, more shale than marble, because thy don't hunt, and spend most of their time lounging around. Members of the guard take turns rounding up 'food' (read: people). They ALL have red eyes, but the Volturi's have a milky film (think cataracts) covering theirs, due, again, to their inactivity. They (the Volturi) are also not breathtakingly beautiful. Not ugly, or plain, but slightly alien looking (like runway models o_o).
