Jasper Hale Character Analysis

Jasper is one of Edward’s adoptive brothers and a vampire. He’s in a romantic relationship with Alice and, around humans, Jasper poses as Rosalie’s twin and Carlisle and Esme’s foster child. He’s blond, tall, and Bella describes him as “leonine.” Like Edward and Alice, Jasper has a special gift beyond what’s normal for a vampire: he can manipulate the emotions of people and vampires around him. Edward explains that this is because, in his human life, Jasper was unusually charming and charismatic. Jasper is the newest member of the Cullen family and so is the newest convert to vampire “vegetarianism” (feeding on animal blood instead of human blood), so Jasper often gives Bella a wide berth so as to not put her in danger or alarm Edward. But Jasper is well able to control himself, and he ends up accompanying Bella and Alice to Phoenix to help Bella escape James.

“They’re all adopted. The Hales are brother and sister, twins—the blondes—and they’re foster children.”

“They look a little old for foster children.”

“They are now, Jasper and Rosalie are both eighteen, but they’ve been with Mrs. Cullen since they were eight. She’s their aunt or something like that.”

“That’s really kind of nice—for them to take care of all those kids like that, when they’re so young and everything.”

“I guess so,” Jessica admitted reluctantly […] “I think that Mrs. Cullen can’t have any kids, though,” she added, as if that lessened their kindness.
