Leah Clearwater | Julia Jones

Julia Jones
The Character

Name: Leah Clearwater

Type: Human/Werewolf

Special Ability: None unique only to Leah except those abilities that are common to werewolves: telepathy with his pack, delayed aging, advanced healing, senses, endurance, durability & strength.

About Them: Leah Clearwater is the daughter of Harry and Sue Clearwater. Leah is the older sister of Seth Clearwater and is the ex-girlfriend of Sam Uley. Leah is the only female member of the La Push werewolf pack. Leah and Seth transformed into werewolves during the events of New Moon. Leah is described as beautiful in an exotic way with perfect copper skin, glistening black hair, and eyelashes "like feather dusters." As a werewolf, Edward describes Leah as a "smaller grey wolf." Leah is angry and bitter as a result of her broken heart after Sam imprinted on her second cousin, Emily. She has a quick temper and often uses the pack's mental connection to remind the other werewolves of things they would rather forget about Sam and Leah. Despite her anger and pain, Leah demonstrates considerable loyalty to her pack and protectiveness of her brother.

Their Early History: Werewolves in the Twilight universe do not age, as long as they regularly phase into wolves. They heal quickly, have enhanced physical speed and strength, and can communicate telepathically with each other while in their wolf forms. It is later revealed that the Quileute tribe "werewolves" are not true werewolves because they don't transform according to the lunar cycle. Instead, they are shape-shifters who take the form of wolves, while the "Children of the Moon" were considered true werewolves.

  5. you guys are so mean. I think she's a perfect Leah. She's beautiful (in an exotic way) and might even be able to potray Leah's extremely tough side.

  7. i completely agree. she is an amazing girl. i think personally that in my head as a was reading the books that she is the exact person i would want to play Leah!. she has the look and can really play the tough girl act and stuff and will have no prob play Sam's old lover.

  8. well she's going to be way better than vanessa hudgens now that would have screwed up the movie her and her twinkle toes.

    ReplyDelete
  9. Nah she was supposed to "used to be pretty" but shes quite nice. Still should have been Vanessa Hudgens.

  10. SHES AN AWSOME ACTRESS WHO WILL DO VERY WELL IN THE ROLE SO ALL YOU HATERS GET A CLUE!

  11. I thought she was supposed to look Native American...oh wait, she does look Native American, nice! At least they got the look right for ONE member of the La Push pack =] Vanessa Hudgens, that is hilarious. Cute girl, not at all what I pictured, nor does she resemble a native in any way. In my opinion Julia Jones is very pretty...unfortunatly everybody has different opinions. Of the three main characters, I find only one the least bit attractive, and none but her even come close to the three I pictured. I'm so glad the casting director got Leah right! Hopefully she pulls everything else off!

  13. YAY!!! She's from Massachusetts!!!

  14. She is definitely pretty. She looks exactly like that girl Johanna on the Real World, the one who dated Wes. I'm sure she'll do a great job. Casting has been done well up to this point. I'm sure it will continue to be done well.

  15. i think shes way too old for leah i mean isnt she supposed to be younger and she is sorta pretty but still

    ReplyDelete
  16. Thats because she is way to old!?! :)

    ReplyDelete
  17. yeah, she does look kind of old, i'm just glad Vanessa Hudgens isn't playing her [Leah], she better be good!

    ReplyDelete
  18. She's around 29 years old, so that's probably why you think she looks old. Isn't Leah suposed to be about twenty years old? But, yes, she does look like a person I would imagine to play Leah. :)And, yeah, my name's Julia, too, so that's cool! :)

    ReplyDelete
  19. I agree with that she looks a bit old...but shes ok
    I don´t think there are so many with the perfect "quiluete-look" or Clearwater-look...or something.

  35. Leah in the movie is suppose to be Sam's Age

    ReplyDelete
  36. TINSEL CORY IS OLDER THAN HER YOU IDIOTS

    ReplyDelete
  37. I think she looks to old for leah but hey none of the characters look how i pictured thenm in the books so as long s she can play leah well it'll be fine nd sam looks kinda old too so they had to get someone his age since they are suppose to be the same age i think the girl who plays vanessa on gossip girl is how i imagined leah especially the eyes but o well

    ReplyDelete
  38. Ok, all of you guys that are saying that she is too old to play Leah, you need to read the books again (mostly eclipse). You forget that in the books the wolves reach full physical maturity within a few weeks before their first transformation. Which means that she is quite perfect for the roll. And anyways, have you seen what they can do with makeup nowadays?

  40. Get your Team Edward and Team Jacob at Audreyshops.com!!

  41. tinsel korey is prettier than her
    and btw, i agree, none of the actors look like my mental images. specially not rob. he looks sleazy and scruffy. i thought edward was supposed to be elegant and polished. and i'm not saying rob's ugly. he's hot but not the delicate classic beauty i had in mind.

    ReplyDelete
  42. julia is amazing and why are people comparing actresses looks to one another? how rude. and leah, sam, and emily are older than the rest of pack members so get the idea of them being teenagers out of your brains. what, did you think they were teenagers too?

    some people even thought seth should have been blonde, for real people?

    ReplyDelete
  43. i think shes sexy ^_^

    ReplyDelete
  44. oh yeah and ye lot need to remember shes in her twenties, shes older than bella cause she has all ready finished school, you idiots

    ReplyDelete
  45. She was 19(20?) in the books guys, lol. She looks ugly in these pictures, but she looked prettier in the actual movie and she portrayed Leah pretty well:)

    ReplyDelete
  46. she is almost 30 years old isnt she meant to play a 19 yr old?

    ReplyDelete
  47. I think she is the right for the part,no offense to those who don't like her..hope they won't replace her she's the lhea clearwater for me..

    ReplyDelete
  48. i agree. She is a a great actress to play leah

    ReplyDelete
