Inspiring Characters: Twilight Saga

Forget the weak and confusing bitch: Bella Swan. Buat saya, di Twilight Saga, 2 female karakter yg sangat sensational dn inspirational adl Rosalie Hale dan Victoria. Find out why...


Rosalie Hale


Born in 1915, Rosalie was born beautiful and constantly praised, making her vain and self-centered. Rosalie was self-absorbed, shallow, and materialistic. She was raped by her fiance and friends who left her dying afterwards. She was transformed by Carlisle Cullen. As a newborn vampire, Rosalie avenged her death by killing Royce's friends. Having saved Royce for last, Rosalie donned a bridal gown for dramatic effect and found him locked in a windowless room with a thick, vault-like door guarded by two men. Killing the guards, Rosalie entered the room where she tortured Royce to death. (Twilight Saga Wiki)
Why Rosalie?
I totally adore the way she did the revenge towards the men who have raped her. She did it with style. Although she had to live as vampire for the rest of her life and leaving her dream to have a baby, Rosalie was charming as she has that unbelievable vampiric beauty.



Victoria the RedHead


Born in the 1550s, Victoria was a housemaid when she was a human. After her sister disappeared, she had to learn survive on her own. Her sister appeared few years later as a vampire and changed her into one as well. In London, she met James which then became her mate. James was killed by Edward while Edward was trying to save Bella from their coven.
Since then, Victoria declared revenge on Edward, and as such, secretly began to plan to kill Bella. Since Edward killed James, she thought it would be fair if she killed Bella, striking out at Edward in the same way he struck out at her.

Victoria is shown to have a mysterious but elegant personality. She could best be described as calculating, however she was frequently bloodthirsty, whether it was when she was dying to kill Bella for her delicious blood on the baseball field in Twilight or when she was stalking Bella for revenge in New Moon and/or Eclipse. She is also marked as one of the most persistent and ruthless characters in the series. Like most archetypal vampires and femme fatales, she is seductively charming and rather vain. As seen in Eclipse, Victoria is shown to be very manipulative and is willing to use others in order to achieve her own goals. Victoria lied to and manipulated Riley in order to get revenge on Bella Swan, though she felt that Riley was nothing more than a pawn to her. In The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, she is also petulant and spoiled.

Why Victoria?
Knowing that her mate was killed by Edward, Victoria did the revenge by extremely brilliant plan which put the Olympic coven into difficulties. Inside her strength, there was a painful feeling she had because her mate was killed.

  1. Pendapat pribadi saya: karakter Rosalie memang karakter paling matang dan well-developed di serial Twilight. Paling tiga-dimensi, dan berombak, tidak seperti Bella dan Edward (no offense here). Sayang sekali dia kurang begitu tampil. Tapi... yah... apa boleh buat. Namanya juga novel romansa. X(
