Angela Weber


Angela Weber is Ben's girlfriend in the book series (she's with Eric Yorkie in the films).

In Eclipse, she tells Bella that they are both attending Washington State University after graduation.

Austin Marks
Austin Marks is Ben's best friend. They both share an interest in graphic novels, action movies, indie rock music and video games.
