Teams

Fans of Twilight tend to divide themselves into teams based on their preference of the two male protagonists of the series, Edward Cullen and Jacob Black. People who identify themselves as "Team Edward" favor Bella Swan choosing Edward, while those on "Team Jacob" believe that she should be with Jacob.

Additionally, fans who are unable to decide between the two often refer to themselves as "Team Switzerland", in reference to a conversation Bella has with Edward in Chapter 6 of Eclipse: "I am a neutral country. I am Switzerland. I refuse to be affected by territorial disputes between mythical creatures." Typically, Team Edward is the most popular choice in fan polls. However, following the release of the New Moon film, many girls have switched over to Team Jacob because of the muscle Taylor Lautner, who plays Jacob Black, had to gain.

Fans may also pick a team of the character they like the most, rather then whom they would like Bella to end up with. For example, Team Jasper, Team Emmett, or Team Seth.
