* [[FriendlyNeighborhoodVampire Alice]], who counts [[Creator/BobChipman Moviebob]] and Creator/CleolindaJones among her fans, is essentially a superhero with [[Main/{{Seers}} her ability to see into the future]]. Sadly, she is also regulated to a supporting role in a tepid paranormal romance story. Being played by Creator/AshleyGreene helps just a tad.

In a world full of vampires and werewolves [[spoiler: plus Dhampyrs]], this was almost certainly a given.
* Jacob Black was originally meant to be a one-shot character who would introduce Bella to the myths of the "cold ones" (vampires), but Stephanie Meyer and the readers ended up enjoying him so much that he became very important to the overall plotline of the next three books and Bella's best friend and second love. Although considered as a BaseBreakingCharacter as well, it also helps if one ignores his more {{Jerkass}} moments [[spoiler: and the infamous imprinting in ''Breaking Dawn'']].
* Vampire doctor [[ActionDad Carlisle]] [[BadassBookworm Cullen]]. Most of his fans are among those who otherwise loathe the books. His status as the BigGood and TheAce also helped.

** There is also Jasper, a redeemed BloodKnight who was once a {{Berserker}} SuperSoldier participating in the [[UsefulNotes/TheAmericanCivilWar Civil War]] before meeting the Cullen family and Alice.
* And [[DefrostingIceQueen Rosalie]] for some, particularly people who dislike Bella. As mentioned under TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot, her expanded origin story has been well-received, due to being basically ''Film/KillBill'' [[RecycledInSpace with vampires]].
* [[PapaWolf Charlie]] [[OnlySaneMan Swan]] is another one who's quite popular even among the haters, who often call out Bella for the hell she puts her father through. In fact, a lot of the moviegoers felt Charlie's portrayal was well done thanks to Creator/BillyBurke's subtle and sympathetic performance.
** The [[Podcast/RiffTrax Rifftrax team]] also have a FanNickname for him ("Mustache Dad"), mostly because mustaches are a RunningGag for them.
** [[WebVideo/TheSpoonyExperiment The Spoony One]] (also referring to him as "Mustache Dad") even says he's the most sympathetic character throughout all the movies.
** The [[WebVideo/TheAmazingAtheist Distressed Watcher]] said he wishes the movies were centered on Charlie, a silent but resourceful lawman investigating a string of mysterious murders and struggling with single fatherhood while his daughter keeps secrets from him.
* Bella's human friends, who seem like the sort of people you genuinely want to hang out with.
** [[NiceGirl Angela]] in particular is liked even by Anti-fans, due to the fact she's a genuinely sweet girl, but due to being and remaining a Muggle [[spoiler:after Bella becoming a vampire]], we never see her again. In fact, a lot of anti-fans like the humans (Mike, Jessica, etc) because they are looked down upon by Bella and Meyer for being better characters.
** There is also a need to mention Tyler Crowley, aka "the guy who almost hit Bella with his van", a status maintained even after the passing of his actor. Hell, the [[MemeticBadass van]] itself too, really.
* [[{{Sadist}} James]] was simply a member of the WackyWaysideTribe of nomadic vampires introduced in the first book whose only purpose in life was to hunt, kill and drink good blood, namely Bella's. He's described as being unremarkable in appearance, average even by human standards. But he became inexplicably popular with the fans when he was revealed to have a connection with Alice, and his lack of an established past made him a point of interest for theorists. It also did not help matters that Cam Gigandet, the actor who played him in TheFilmOfTheBook, was [[HollywoodHomely very admittedly attractive]], and when asked to come up with his own [[AlternativeCharacterInterpretation interpretation of the character]], said that James was really a broken hollow shell of a person on the inside, coming damn close to making James TheWoobie as well.
* [[ActionGirl Leah]] [[TheSnarkKnight Clearwater]] earned this title for her DeadpanSnarker tendencies, a particularly memorable moment involving NarrativeProfanityFilter in the book, and the fact that she unflinchingly and unapologetically would [[WhatTheHellHero call out the other characters whenever they acted like idiots]]. She also had many of the makings of TheWoobie as well, having lost her father to a heart attack and her boyfriend Sam leaving her for her cousin Emily ever since becoming one of the wolves, and yet having everyone shun her and [[DesignatedVillain treat her like a bitch]], not caring at all about her heartbreak (something that thankfully changed when Jacob left the pack and was able to get to know Leah without any influence from the others' prejudice).
* Similarly, Leah's little brother [[NiceGuy Seth]] [[TheLancer Clearwater]] has a small part to play in ''Eclipse'', and picked up a massive following for his adorable snark, bravery, and almost [[CheerfulChild naive affableness]]. Come ''Breaking Dawn'', he had a lot more action and some of the best lines in the book.
* [[TeamDad Sam]], thanks to his giant black wolf form being totally badass, could count as well...though, considering he imprinted on Emily and left Leah for her and then [[WhyDidYouMakeMeHitYou ripped half of Emily's face off]] [[NotGoodWithRejection when she tried to reject him]], [[BaseBreakingCharacter it becomes a lot more complicated]].
* Many of the Volturi in general became very popular amongst the fans as well, despite having not many lines or characters. For specific examples, though, there's Aro for his MagnificentBastard traits and Creator/MichaelSheen's performance in the films and [[TheEeyore Marcus]] for his [[TheWoobie sad backstory]].
* Bree made people pity her to the point that they wrote an alternate take on her encounter with the Volturi and even went as far as have her be adopted by the Cullens.
* The Denalis, Benjamin and his family all became incredibly popular after ''Breaking Dawn Part 2'' came out, as their actors managed to make them fairly interesting and/or likeable (Benjamin for being played by Creator/RamiMalek and having cool elemental powers and Garrett for being played by Creator/LeePace and his relentless curiosity about the unknown.)
* J. Jenks gained this thanks to Creator/WendellPierce's [[OneSceneWonder performance in the film version]]. Essentially, he is a high-powered lawyer who forges papers for the Cullens and suspects they're vampires but purposefully keeps himself in the dark because that's none of his concern. He's basically a mortal Consigliere and we only get ''one scene'' with him.
* And after ''Breaking Dawn'', Nahuel, [[spoiler: a {{Dhampyr}} brought in by Alice to testify against the Volturi and convince them that Renesmee Cullen was not a threat to the vampires' existence, who was also a {{Dhampyr}} herself]] gained quite a fandom as well. His only real lines were his testimonials, but more of his character was revealed by Edward's mind-reading, making him a bit of a [[TheWoobie woobie]] as well. In FanFic, he's usually paired up with fellow darkhorse Leah. A bit of a CrackPairing, yes, but some can't help but find the idea of it very inexplicably cute.
