Emmett Cullen
Rosalie is one of Edward’s adoptive sisters and a fellow vampire; though not related to Jasper by blood, the two pose as twins and the Cullens’ foster children in the mortal world. She’s in a relationship with Emmett and sometimes they live separately from the other Cullens as a married couple. Rosalie is blond and gorgeous. Bella finds Rosalie intimidating for this reason, especially once Edward shares that Carlisle turned Rosalie into a vampire in the hopes that she could be a romantic companion for Edward. But Bella also finds Rosalie intimidating, aloof, and even rude because Rosalie resents Edward and Bella’s relationship. It isn’t that Rosalie has romantic feelings for Edward, but rather that Rosalie fears that having Bella around will jeopardize the Cullens’ way of life.

Chapter 1 Quotes
“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.
