Well, Carlisle was the father figure of the family. He was also blessed with a huge self-control. But, as the leader of his coven, the other members looked for Carlisle to make major decisions. The protectors of the Olympic Coven were Edward, who read minds so he could warn his coven if any dangers were near. Alice was also a protector. The coven also relied on Alice to detect any dangers that were headed their way in the future. Emmett was extremely large, muscular and very powerful. He had ALMOST the physical powers of a newborn. Jasper could use his power to calm down enemies during a negotiation. Almost any enemy would find themselves growing calmer and more tolerant of the Olympic Coven. Jasper did this in ECLIPSE when the Olympic Coven and the Wolf Pack were chasing Victoria. A fight almost broke out between the coven and the pack. But Jasper used his power and calmed down both sides enough to negotiate peace. Esme and Rosalie have not particular power that could be used to protect their Coven from enemies. However, Esme is described as being the 'heart' of the family, and it's through her that they're held together by her love. Rosalie, like Carlisle has a huge self control. We don't see it in the early novels because of the dislike she has for Bella. But later we learn that aside from Carlisle, Rosalie has killed the fewest humans. Carlisle has never killed a human. Rosalie killed a total of seven humans, the ones who were actively involved with her rape, plus the two who were protecting them. Rosalie was the only vampire in her coven who had NEVER drank or tasted human blood.
