Each wolf's distinctive color and characteristics correlates with each wolf's true self. Quil Ateara V and Sam Uley joke with one another that Sam's black fur is due to his "black heart", while Quil's chocolate-brown fur reflects how "sweet" he is. The color of the wolves depends on their spirit.
In the Twilight series, the following wolves' colors are made explicit: Sam Uley, Alpha, La Push pack: black. Largest werewolf of the La Push pack until the time of Breaking Dawn (September 2006). Imprinted on Emily Young.
Jacob Black, Beta or Second, La Push pack/Alpha, breakaway pack: russet brown. The color doesn't matter much, it's the size that's more significant. Jacob and Sam are the largest wolves in the pack.
If I remember right in the books too, Jacob's coloring was a bit unusual like Sam's. He was the only russet colored wolf. Each member of the wolf pack possesses a unique name that reflects their individuality and personality.
From the fierce and dominant alpha wolf to the loyal and fierce warriors, the names of the wolves in the Twilight series hold great significance and add depth to the narrative. The Uley pack, most commonly known as the pack or Sam Uley's pack, is formed when Sam Uley first phased into a wolf, the occasion of his coming-of-age in the presence of the Olympic coven: a coven of vampires. Over time, Paul Lahote, Jared Cameron, Embry Call and Jacob Black phased and Sam took responsibility for them.
Their pack was later joined by Seth and Leah Clearwater, Quil Ateara V. I have to think that SM intended the colors to mean something, even if it was just on an obvious surface parallel. I think she consciously chose them, and intended them to reflect, in some way, the characteristics of the werewolf.
The color of the wolves depends on their spirit. In the Twilight series, the following wolves' colors are made explicit:Sam Uley, Alpha, La Push pack: Black. Largest werewolf of the La Push pack.
You might be a major Twilight fan and know each and every actor and character down to a T. But we're reviewing the wolf pack's fur colors, just in time for Eclipse.
