Sexuality: Straight, demisexual
power: Empath(controlling&sensing emotions)
Jasper Hale was born in Houston, Texas, in 1844. As a child, he helped out on his parents’ farm and was very intuitive when it came to people and animals. Because of his empathy, he often had big disagreements with his peers due to differing opinions, but he always knew how to calm a crowd. When the Civil War began, at 17, he faked his age to join the fight. He could feel the pain and suffering of those around him, and knowing he was in the South, he decided to become a spy for the Union, rising through the ranks.
When Jasper was 19, Maria found him, impressed by his strength, endurance, and potential gift. She turned him into a vampire and made him the Major, sparing him due to her growing affection for his intuitive and charming nature. Though he hated what he had become, Maria manipulated him, making him believe she loved him. He did as she told him, despite the physical and emotional pain. Jasper befriended Peter, convincing Maria to spare him. The two quickly became best friends.
However, Peter eventually fell in love with Charlotte. Despite Peter’s repeated pleas, Maria refused to spare her. Remembering the old stories of peaceful vampires in the North, Jasper and Charlotte decided to leave Maria’s coven. It broke Jasper’s heart to lose his best friend, but Peter chose to prioritize his mate’s safety.
Years later, when Jasper was near his breaking point, Peter and a wary Charlotte returned, telling him about the peaceful vampires they had met up North. They invited Jasper to join them on a journey. Desperate to escape his painful existence, Jasper accepted.
Though he enjoyed the freedom, he still hated the necessity of killing and the constant emotional turmoil. One rainy day in the late 1940s, Jasper entered a small diner to get out of the rain. There, he met a peculiar girl with strange eyes who waved at him, he could sense she was a vampire. She introduced herself as Alice and explained that she had been waiting a long time for him. Jasper felt guilty—this innocent girl, who had never met him, had been waiting for a ruthless killer like him. Alice revealed that she was also a vampire, and that she had visions of their future together. She took his hand and explained her gift of foresight, describing how they would eventually meet the Cullen family, who also fed on animals, just like her. Jasper felt a sense of hope, warmed by Alice’s nonjudgmental nature.
They traveled together for a while, occasionally joining Peter and Charlotte. In 1950, they found the Cullens. They waited until Edward and Emmett were away before introducing themselves. Carlisle was cautious, Esme was frightened, and Rosalie was upset—she didn’t trust easily. Alice took over Edward’s room, and when the two boys returned, they were both surprised and protective of their family. Jasper’s scars, visible now that he had no longer hidden his face, alarmed them. After some time, Jasper and Alice got to know the family, and things settled into place. Emmett became very close with Jasper, like a brother, while Edward and Rosalie grew close to Alice. Esme and Carlisle were happy to have them in the coven, and for the first time in a long while, Jasper felt like he had found a true home.
Jasper has PTSD and autism (Carlisle likely diagnosed him). He wears lots of layers because he feels insecure about his scars, and it helps him feel grounded. He doesn’t like showing his teeth or talking and showing emotions on his face, so he often covers his face with a bandana. He loves Western cowboy style. Doesn’t like being called the Major even if it’s in a joking way, makes him very upset. He’s homeschooled, he doesn’t like being around too many people cuz the blood and so many emotions overwhelms him, plus he’s always been introverted.
