The Third Wife

The Third Wife was a Quileute woman who was the wife of Taha Aki. She is known for saving the village and her husband, by stabbing herself to distract the vampire attacking, who had come to avenge her mates's death. She could see that Taha Aki was loosing the fight against the female vampire, and, by what she knew of the vampires, their biggest weakness was blood.

Her bravery earned her a place in the Quileute's legends. Even though very little is known about her, she is mentioned by Billy Black at the Quileute council meeting in the Eclipse movie and book.

In Eclipse's film portrayal, the Third Wife's sacrifice inspires Bella Swan to slash her arm with a jagged rock to prevent the death of Edward Cullen, while in the book Bella only contemplates the act.
