Imprinting in Twilight works basically on the concept of "Love at first sight." Essentially, when a werewolf sees a person they are "meant to be with" they will become immediately attached to said person. They often fall in love immediately, or in the case of Jacob and Reneesme, the werewolf becomes attached to and protective of the subject, and essentially becomes incapable of loving anyone else until that subject is old enough for a romantic relationship.

No, the concept of imprinting as depicted in the Twilight book series is a fictional creation by the author, Stephenie Meyer. It is not based on any actual Quileute legend or belief.
New Moon, the second book in the Twilight series.
Twilight imprinting, as portrayed in the Twilight Saga, is shown as a natural and unexplainable phenomenon that creates a deep bond between individuals. Some advantages could include an unbreakable connection, a sense of completeness, and a profound understanding of each other's needs and desires. However, imprinting also raises ethical and moral questions in terms of consent and autonomy.
In the Twilight series, Jacob's imprinting on Renesmee, a vampire-human hybrid baby, is explained as a supernatural and involuntary bond that can occur with those destined to be soulmates. Despite Renesmee's vampire nature, Jacob's imprinting is focused on her future self, when she will reach maturity and be able to reciprocate his feelings.
it's like finding love at first sight. Jacob will waite for renesmee to grow up, for now it's just friendship.
Here are the imprinting couples: Sam - Emily Quil - Claire Paul - Rachel Jared - Kim Jacob - Renesmee And they aren't werewolves, they're shape-shifters.
"Imprinting."
In the 'Twilight' series of books by Stephanie Meyer, the werewolves imprint upon humans. What this 'imprinting' means is that it is basically just falling passionately, intensely and madly in love with whoever it is that they choose to imprint with. For example, in the 'New Moon' novel, Sam Uley, the leader of the werewolf pack, imprints upon Emily. Upon imprinting on the young woman, he loses interest in all other women, and Emily becomes like the centre of his universe. Imprinting works both ways, though, meaning that Emily will love Sam just as strongly as he loves her. Edward Cullen describes imprinting as nearly the way that he feels about Bella Swan - true love. But imprinting does not always necessarily mean LOVE (as in romantic love). Imprinting means that they will become, for you, whatever you need. If you need a friend, they are your very best friend. If you need a brother/sister, that is what they become for you.
