ok so Rose and Leah are my two favorite female characters out of the saga ...and *gasp* surprise they're also two of the most hated characters of the series by rabid fangirls.... anyways I think that SM should really have developed their characters more....because IMO they're the most interesting because:
    both gals have had a tragic past (obviously Rose's is more tragic) but Leah's situation is sad as well and that's why I HATE Sam😡🤢 both girls are basically treated like crap by the main male leads.....I wanted to punch Edward esp in NM when Rose apologizes and Alice and Eddie are like screw you and Jake's anger towards Leah and telling her she's nothing to the pack or somethingis just appalling😡 both were changed into something they really didn't want to by choice...and they're expected to deal with it as if its a fairy tale or something😡
  • both girls have a LEGITIMATE reason to complain about their miserable existence...which is a lot more than a pathetic break-up which causes" a hole to be punched through some one's chest" (<--- that argument was brought up on twilightsucks.com...and I full heartedly agree with it...I mean Bella's allowed to complain about every single thing in her life but when these two complain all hell breaks lose?? WTH😡!)

anyways just wanted to know your opinion on these two characters

Yay a good topic!


Okay so i love both of them.


Rose because well in the book i felt everyone was selfish, they didn't care how being a vamp would change/affect Bella's life they just wanted her to be one of them, but it's not a life anyone would choose so Rose voted NO. Now all the fans hate her. She's worried because Bella might spill the secret. What's wrong in that? I mean she's worried for herself, who wouldn't be? Everyone else trusts her blindly but since Rose is worried and maybe even suspicious she's hated. Wow. I have to ask WHY people hate Rose so much. Examples please?


Leah: I just love her :)

Agreed- i love both of them
Rose is honest and like innocentdevil said she's right in her own way. Most of the charecters in the book were selfidh and didn't really understand Rose desire for a child- everyone wants to be a mother i mean esme nearly killed herself as a mortal for a child then found edward and everyone who she then treated as her own- rosalie didn't have anyone she could treat as her child right and both her and leah are in a situation they don't want to be in- they portray the negatives to werewolf/vampire life which is gfood because they're not a fairytale life right.
I like leah because she's emotionally hurt and if everyone (twihard fans)feels sorry for bella then why not leah- she's not to blame. Sam left her because of the situation he's in and fine but it's even worse when she can hear all his thoughts and the fact that he's with her cousin. When edward saw jacobs though when he left bella it hurt him and we all felt sorry for him, then why not leah- she constanly hears sams thoughts which would probably be aboput emily.

I know...I really wanted to know Esme's view on Nessie when she was in Bella's womb...I really wanted Esme to knock some sense into Edward when he was hating Rosalie for her actions..... I mean I knew she loved Edward and Bella but I really want to know what side of the argument she was on...it would have brought an interesting twist on Esme-Edward's relationship
I also found it touching that Rose saved Emmett because he remined her of Henry...which I thought was (creepy at first) but I thought it was cute later......
as for Leah....I just want to give the girl a huge hug! I mean I have nothing against Emily...but gosh I really want to punch Sam and yes I agree with you....she can hear his thoughts about how he feels about Emily in front of the whole pack

Not alot of people put themselves in other peoples shoes and make harsh judgments. I don't think people fully understand some of the characters in the book, the movie(Twilight) did not portray some of the characters correctly and left out a lot of important information.Even from the beginning, I suspected something more to Rosalie and why she was the way she was.

I disagree on the part that Rosalie is treated like crap. Its not true. They may not have shown it in the movie but in the book everyone loved her as a daughter and did sympathize with her always provided she always spoke in a rude manner. It wasn't hidden from anyone that Rosalie had a depressing past; it was only Edward who avoided her like a plague. The reason why he did act like this is also stated in Eclipse. He thought Rosalie was big headed, too proud about her beauty and c'mon anyone would find it bit annoying if someone throws attitude 24/7. His anger is very much justified for what Rosalie did. For her Edward was sacrificing his life to the Volturis. The Cullens would have lost a son if it weren't for Bella who traveled all the way to Italy to save him. This is not a random mistake, a grave one and she deserved the hatred.

I find it difficult to believe that people actually hate Rosalie. I mean her maybe not Ms goody-two-shoes but she wasn't exactly a bad vamp.😕 She cared for her family and the reason why she voted a NO is also stated in Eclipse. Someone who has not followed the saga and had stopped reading after New Moon only can feel hatred towards her. Because honestly when i first started reading the books she was a quite the "itch" of the whole books. but when i finally learned her story, i actually felt quite sad for her.

I totally Agree with you Anu and Innocentdevil(sorry don't know your name)......when I read NM....I seriously hated her sooooo much.....but then when I came to know about her story....well I really felt bad....and then to know that what was the real reason behind her NO...was really....but then again in BD....I thought she is such a selfish Vamp....I guess its because it was in Jakes POV that I thought it like that.....but then again when Leah clears it out....I sort of started to like her again....So In the End...I really don't think I hate Rose😊

About Leah.......well...When Jake tells Bella about Leah-Sam-Emily and that imprinting thing....so I really felt soooo bad for her.....and since then I'm sort of loving this character.....I was wishing to see Jake-Leah together....anyway Jake have Nessie !!!!

luv Alina

Well they were'nt my fav;s..but they were unique n nice characters created by SM..
They did'nt get much importance though..bcuz the main imp was given to Bella n the klutz she is..
Rosalie..n hated?..that is bad!..she was a nice person actually..she had a traumatic past..n anyone could change due to that..she wanted Bella to stay the way she was..n even Bella wanted to a lil, after she heard her story.
Leah was always underestimated by Jacob..but she did have an arrogant attitude..so maybe he got irritated..but thats no reason, seriously. Later on, i think their relationship got better!

Why do you hate sam? imprinting on emily was inivitable, somthing he could not control, its not like it was his decision or its not like he was unfaitful to leah.
I wanted to punch rose for what she did in new moon, its obvious that
her jealousy and hatred got in the way, thats why she said bella is dead so easily while the other cullens were probably devestated. alice is overly fond of bella and edward loves her to death their grudge towards rose was justified at that time.. I would of done the same when someone without a proper confirmation says "bella is dead"
and leah is always itchy with loads of attitude, I know its because her life is miserable but not everyone can deal with it. even edward understands rose's issue but its hard to deal with all that when you have problems of your own. the boys always misunderstands leah she is always so cold and nasty butt he guys don't look through that and try to understand her.
