Sam Uley and Emily Young

Sam Uley and Emily Young are members of the Quileute tribe and a couple.

Sam was originally dating Leah Clearwater, Emily's cousin, but when he became a "wolf" and accidentally imprinted on Emily, they became a couple.

Sam Uley
Sam first phased around a while after the Olympic Coven moved back to Forks. When his power awakened, he remained in his wolf form for over a week before he finally became human again. Since he had no guidance at the time, he didn't know what happened to him until the Quileute elders explained.

Emily Young
Emily was second cousins with the Clearwater siblings, living outside on the Makah reservation at the time.

Early History
After Sam returned to his human form, he accidentally imprinted on Emily when she came to visit her cousins, ruining her sisterhood with her cousin, Leah and Sam's relationship. They tried to stay away from each other, but Sam found the distance too much to handle and eventually went to visit her. Despite her newfound feelings for Sam, she continued to struggle. This resulted in Sam losing control of his anger for a short second when she was standing too close, and accidentally slashed the right side of her face, creating deep scars that distorted her features, pulling down the corner of her eye for her mouth.

At the hospital, she explained to the doctors that she was attacked by a bear up north during salmon spawning season in order to protect the tribe's secret. They finally gave in to their feelings and became a couple, and eventually became engaged.

New Moon
As other Quleute youngsters begin to phase, Sam takes responsibility in guiding them and leading the protection of their reservation. Emily engages in feeding and taking care of them.

When Bella Swan was hunted by a vampire named Victoria, Sam leads his pack in protecting her and her father, Charlie, often by taking them down to La Push.
