"Aro, would you ask Jane to stop attacking my wife?"
―Edward Cullen asking Aro to stop Jane's unsuccessful attempts to torture Bella Swan[src]

Jane is the twin sister of Alec and a sadistic member of the Volturi Guard in the Twilight series. In the film adaptation of New Moon, Jane will be played by actress Dakota Fanning.



The Volturi had their eyes on Jane and her brother Alec as potential vampires when they were still human, but were waiting until they were older to change them. When frightened humans tried to burn the twins at the stake because of suspected witchcraft, Aro stepped in, slaughtering the whole village. Because of all she went through, Jane gained the power to voluntarily inflict a mental illusion of antagonizing pain on others. Jane has since become one of the prize members of the Volturi Guard.
[edit] New Moon

In New Moon, Aro sends Jane and two other guards to go and bring Edward to their castle. Upon Jane's arrival, Bella realizes immediately that Jane is very dangerous, as Edward does exactly what she says without hesitation. After returning with Edward, Alice and Bella, Alec takes great delight in Jane bringing back more people than she set out for. When Aro realizes he cannot penetrate Bella's shield, he asks Jane to try. Edward immediately stands between Bella and Jane and takes Jane's torture. Once Jane finishes with Edward, she tries to inflict her pain on Bella, but is infuriated when it fails. She instantly takes a deep hatred for Bella.
[edit] Eclipse

In Eclipse, Jane travels to Forks with Demetri and three other guards to deal with the newborn army that Victoria had created. She is rather shocked to find that the Cullens have dealt with the situation on their own, without one of them being injured or killed. Upon their arrival, Jane notices that there is one newborn left, Bree. Jane asks for her name, and when she doesn't reply, Jane inflicts her torture. Bree contorts on the floor in absolute agony. When Jane stops, Bree starts talking, and Jane decides to inflict her torture onto her another time, due to her taking time to answer questions. After several minutes of discussion, Jane orders Felix to "Deal with her" because she is bored and wanted to go home. Jane then leaves with the rest of the guards to return to Volterra, Italy.
[edit] Breaking Dawn

During Breaking Dawn, Jane, accompanied by the entire Volturi Guard, make their way back to Forks, this time to destroy an immortal child. She is annoyed to find that Aro has given Bella a gift. Later, it is discovered that Renesmee Cullen is in fact a vampire-human hybrid. As this confrontation takes place, Jane tries to create an illusion of pain on her enemies. As Bella is shielding them, Jane's gift has no effect on them whatsoever. She is infuriated and tries to spring but Alec stops her with a restraining hand. At the end, Jane departs with the rest of the Volturi Guard.
edit Personality and Traits
[edit] Personality

Jane is very dark. She is easily angered when her powers fail, and has contempt for Bella after their first meeting in New Moon. She appears to worship Aro as she is very happy to be in his presence. She enjoys her powers, and the respect and fear that comes from her having them.
[edit] Abilities

Jane is known throughout the vampire world, along with her twin, Alec, for her ability. Jane has the ability to create an illusion of pain on her victims. When Jane inflicts torture on her victim, it physically does nothing to them, as Jane only has the ability to trick the mind into thinking there is pain. Jane can control how much pain she inflicts on her victim. The pain that Jane inflicts is described as being like "burning" inside of the victim. Jane cannot use her power on Bella, even when Bella is human. The reason for this is that Bella can block out a person's mental ability, as witnessed by Edward's inability to read her mind.

With her special ability aside, Jane has basic vampiric abilities too. She has granite-hard skin, extremely sharp senses, razor-sharp teeth, immortality, speed, strength and agility.
[edit] Physical description
Jane

Jane is described as tiny with lank, pale brown hair trimmed short and pale skin to match it. She has a rather slim and androgynous figure. She has a face that is both angelic and fiercely childlike. She has wide eyes, full lips, and a childlike voice. Her eyes are red when she has recently hunted, but they turn black if she grows hungry. She is forever trapped in her sixteen year old body.

Alice.Bella.Suicide?

Alice is Edward's adoptive sister and the most supportive of his relationship with Bella because she knows how lonely he has been. When Bella sees Alice for the first time, she describes her as "pixielike, thin in the extreme, with small features. Her hair was deep black, cropped short and pointing in every direction" (1.110), and Bella often comments on how gracefully Alice moves.

Unlike the other members of the Cullen family, Alice remembers nothing of her human life – Carlisle and the Cullens found her when she had already been transformed into a vampire. We learn that Alice is unique in that she developed a "conscience" on her own, meaning that without any guidance, she decided against preying on humans. Later we learn from James that Alice was the only human he hunted who got away from him, and that an old vampire transformed her so she'd be safe. Then James killed the old vampire, leaving Alice alone to learn about life as a vampire. We also find out from James that Alice was locked up in an asylum as a human and given shock-treatments, since she had "visions" and her contemporary human beings thought she was insane.

Jump to the present, and Alice has a special power: she can see the future – but just what is being planned. In other words, the future can change. Knowing what is "on track" to happen, she can shift choices and actions to prevent that future, if it's undesirable. This occurs when James is planning to kill Bella – Alice sees James's plan, and helps prevent it.

Alice sees one possible future that is particularly disturbing to Edward: she sees Bella as a vampire. This is why, during her arguments with Edward over whether she should become a vampire, Bella says, "I'm betting on Alice" (24.287).

Alice takes a liking to Bella immediately and treats her like a sister. Not only does Alice take care of Bella while James is hunting her, but Alice also dresses Bella up for the prom. Though Bella isn't so happy about being Alice's "Guinea Pig Barbie," whenever Bella complained, Alice "reminded [Bella] that she didn't have any memories of being human, and asked [Bella] not to ruin her vicarious fun" (Epilogue.8). Overall, Alice is a warm, encouraging, and supportive presence.

It comes from Chapter 24 at page 528, and it is from Edward to Bella.

"You, at least, made an effort. You got up in the morning, tried to be normal for Charlie, followed the pattern of your life. When I wasn’t actively tracking, I was… totally useless. I couldn’t be around my family—I couldn’t be around anyone. I’m embarrassed to admit that I more or less curled up into a ball and let the misery have me. It was much more pathetic than hearing voices. And, of course, you know I do that, too."

This quote is of undeniable importance to the closure of the story in New Moon.

When Edward and Bella are reunited, there is still something missing - closure. The strength of Edward's words during the break-up sequence resonate throughout the story, and it seems that there is a need to counteract them with equally profound sentiments such as this one. While Edward's admittance of lying to Bella during the break-up has already been discussed, this fragment of Edward's words go to show his own suffering - a thing that was not seen through the eyes of the protagonist and thusly wasn't not previewed to the reader either.

It goes to show that not only does Edward fathom what Bella went through in his absence - the heartache, loneliness, and the courage that it took to get back onto her feet - but also the struggle that he endured absent her. It reminds the reader that their love is a two-way street, and it also illustrates the respect that Edward has for Bella's resolve and ability to overcome. Hearing of his own loneliness without her brings a bit of comfort and, frankly, relief.
