Bark vs. Bite: The Twilight Saga - New Moon
1/04/2010
In New Moon, the ultimate battle is on between werewolf and vampire as they fiercely compete for Bella's affections. Team Jacob or Team Edward: which side are you on?
Jacob Black
Age: 17
Origin: Jacob is a Native American from the Quileute Tribe in La Push, Washington located near Forks. His tribe is descended from an ancient line of shape shifters that assume wolf form. They have long been the mortal enemies of all vampires, including the Cullen family with whom they have an uneasy treaty. In New Moon, Jacob discovers that the legends of his tribe are true and he himself is able to transform into a werewolf, particularly when a human is in great danger.
Personality: A young man who wears his heart on his sleeve, Jacob is adventurous, passionate and cheerful but can be temperamental and quick to anger while experiencing the change of shape shifting.
Physical Appearance: Tall, muscular and handsome with black hair and brown eyes. He has reddish-brown fur when he transforms into a wolf. Usually wears cut-off shorts as his shape shifting can ruin any clothes he is wearing at the time.
Hobbies: Likes fixing cars and motorbikes and hanging out with members of his Quileute pack.
Abilities: Can communicate telepathically with his pack. Other abilities include delayed aging, advanced healing, strong sense of smell, superhuman speed, endurance, durability and strength.
Edward Cullen
Age: 17 (and also 109)
Origin: Edward is a member of the Olympic Covern (also known as the Cullen family), a group of devoted "vegetarian" vampires who do not feast on humans: only animal blood is their source of sustenance. Edward was born in 1901 in Chicago, Illinois and was turned into a vampire in 1918 after his entire family died of Spanish Influenza. Carlisle (now his adoptive father) promised Edward's dying mother that he would do whatever he could to save Edward from dying as well.
Personality: The quintessential gentleman, Edward is charming, polite, protective but also very stubborn. He can be quite traditional and his speech is sometimes outdated as a result of his human life in the early 20th Century.
Physical Appearance: Tall, lean and handsome with very pale skin that sparkles in the sunlight. He has bronze hair and gold eyes (his eyes turn black when he is thirsting for blood). Has messy hair but is always immaculately dressed.
Hobbies: vampires don't sleep, so Edward has devoted that time to reading books, studying languages and music. He's a virtuoso on the piano and enjoys collecting cars.
Abilities: Superhuman strength, speed, endurance, agility and durability. Can read minds (except Bella's) and does not age.
Here's what fans said on the Edward vs. Jacob debate:
Rachelle O: Team Edward as he so smart n omg so romantic, it not all bout muscles...but bella is so selfish as once edward comes back she throws jacob to the side like a used toy
Lisa C: Team Jacob :) Personality...does it matter? Lol. Jacob hands down.
Taylor S: Team JACOB !!!!!! He is the (2nd) hottttest thing on this planet..!! ...And yer it is all about the muscles..Peace..
Michelle H: Edward all the way... Jacob is certainly hot but he is her best friend, Edward is her soul mate... He wins it hands down - looks and personality... And I believe he loves her more as he would do anything for her, even if that means leaving her because he thinks she is safer that way... :)
