Twilight

The Summary:

Bella Swan has always been a little bit different. Never one to run with the crowd, Bella never cared about fitting in with the trendy, plastic girls at her Phoenix, Arizona high school. When her mother remarried and Bella chooses to live with her father in the rainy little town of Forks, Washington, she didn't expect much of anything to change. But things do change when she meets the mysterious and dazzlingly beautiful Edward Cullen. For Edward is nothing like any boy she's ever met. He's nothing like anyone she's ever met, period. He's intelligent and witty, and he seems to see straight into her soul. In no time at all, they are swept up in a passionate and decidedly unorthodox romance - unorthodox because Edward really isn't like the other boys. He can run faster than a mountain lion. He can stop a moving car with his bare hands. Oh, and he hasn't aged since 1918. Like all vampires, he's immortal. That's right - vampire. But he doesn't have fangs - that's just in the movies. And he doesn't drink human blood, though Edward and his family are unique among vampires in that lifestyle choice. To Edward, Bella is that thing he has waited 90 years for - a soul mate. But the closer they get, the more Edward must struggle to resist the primal pull of her scent, which could send him into an uncontrollable frenzy. Somehow or other, they will have to manage their unmanageable love. But when unexpected visitors come to town and realize that there is a human among them Edward must fight to save Bella? A modern, visual, and visceral Romeo and Juliet story of the ultimate forbidden love affair - between vampire and mortal.

Bella Swan

Isabella ''Bella'' Marie Swan is the daughter of Charlie Swan and Renee Dwyer in Forks, Washington. Her parents were married out of high school and had Bella at a very young age. Charlie and Renee later divorced after 6 months of marriage and Renee moved to Pheonix, Arizona, from not being able to stand living in Forks any longer, eaking newborn Bella with her. Every summer Bella would come and visit her father in the little cloudy town of Forks where her parents had lived.

Bella started going to Forks for only a few weeks when she was a young teen because she did not like it there. When Renee married Phil, Bella felt she was holding her mom back from being able to travel with her baseball playing husband so she decided to move to Forks to live with Charlie so her mom could be happy.

This is where she met and fell deeply in love with the famous Edward Cullen. After discovering Edwards and his families secret, she decided to stick with him as they grow ever more attached to one another. Bella, being known to attract disasters, constantly keeps Edward busy saving her life from day to day events.

Bella is described as being very fair-skinned and plain with dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes and a heart-shaped face. She has a wide forehead, large, wide-spaced eyes, and prominent cheekbones. She is five foot four inches tall but not muscular and weighs 110 pounds. She also has sturdy fingernails because she has a nervous habit of biting them.

Bella eventually gets pregnant and married with Edward Cullen. They alwyas are deeply in love. Most of the guys att Forks High School "like" Bella. Mike, Tyler, and Eric all ask her to the spring dance. She rejects all of them to hang out with Edward in Seattle, Washington. She goes to prom with a broken leg with the imfamous Edward Cullen escorting her. She also doesn't know that her new friend Jacob Black, and her new boyfriend Edward Cullen are complete enimies. Jacob is a warewolf and Edward is a vampire. Earlier on before Bella was in Forks Edwards family invades Jacob's families property evere since then they havn't gotten along.

In New Moon, Bella turns 18 on the 13th September, she receives a camera from Charlie (her father) and a scrapbook from Renee (her mother). She takes these presents despite her vehement arguing and the many times before her birthday where she'd said she didn't want to celebrate it. Then after school she goes to the Cullen's home with Edward where they throw a little party for her, though she argues.

While Bella unwraps her presents, she gets a paper cut which releases a single drop of blood resulting in Jasper the Cullen newest to the 'vegetarian' lifestyle attempting to pounce on Bella to drink her blood but Edward pushes her out of the way and saves her though she falls onto more glass which basically cuts the skin on her arms open and bleeds further. Carlisle stitches her wounds up and Bella goes home without seeing Jasper again.

This event leads to Edward leaving Bella telling her that he doesn't love her anymore and to take care of herself, resulting in her going into a zombie-like state as described in the book. She does the bare minimum to remain alive and relatively well though she loses a lot of weight in the 4 months subsequent to Edward leaving with the rest of the Cullen family. However, in January she 'wakes up' after Charlie tries to send her home, back with Renee in Phoenix, Arizona.



Edward Cullen

Edward Anthony Masen Cullen was born the son of Elizabeth & Edward Masen on June 20, 1901. In 1918 at age seventeen, having lost his mortal family to a particularly deadly strain of Spanish Influenza, Edward found himself at death's door. Whilst recieveing treatment in Chicago, he came under the care of the enigmatic Dr. Carlisle Cullen. His mother had made a final wish that the young doctor do all within his power to prevent the death of her son from the same disease. It is unclear whether or not she was aware of the fate she was asigning to him. Dr. Cullen complied with her request the only way he knew how: by transforming Edward into a vampire.

Presently, Edward resides in the wintry town of Forks, Washington with his "adopted" family: Dr. Carlisle and Esme Cullen, sisters Rosalie and Alice, and brothers Emmett and Jasper. He attended Forks High School, sharing the graduating class of Isabella Swan, human daughter of Police Chief Charlie Swan. Despite almost ninety years of strict abstinence from human blood, upon meeting Bella he was barely able to resist the urge to feed on her. The unique, potent aroma of her blood proved to be a powerful temptation, awakening the dormant beast within and very nearly destroying the life the Cullens has constructed for themselves.

In degrees, Edward learns to overcome and to control his thirst for Bella, and his fascination quickly evolves into passionate adoration. However Bella's penchant for becoming embroiled in dangerous situations weighs heavy on his conscience. When Bella is part of a near-fatal accident involving Tyler Crowley's car in the school parking lot, Edward intercedes and Bella discovers his extraordinary physical strength. After he rescues her again, this time from a gang of would-be attackers in Port Angeles, she begins to realise that strength is only one of the strange gifts he posesses. After this incident, the two become inseperable and their love continues to grow and evolve into something profound. Edward finds himself unwilling and unable to stay away from Bella, though he fears that he is exposing her to danger and is soon sharing the secrets of his families various "powers" and their individual histories.

Edward's gift is that he can read minds, hearing peoples innermost thoughts. He has never encountered a person who is immune to his power... Until Bella shows up and he realises that her mind is impenetrable. At first this infuriates him, but it is also the catalyst for his obsession with her; How and why is her mind a mystery to him?

As Bella comes to grips with the truth about the Cullen family, she continually begs Edward to turn her into one of them. She dreads the fact that she grows older than him day by day, and sees her humanity as more of a curse than a gift as she is pursued by all manner of supernatural assailants.

His brothers and sisters include Alice, who can see the future, Jasper, who can control your emotions, Emmett, who has supernatural strength (even for a vampire), and the amazingly beautiful Rosalie. Though most of them trust their natural instincts and avoid her because of her sweet smelling blood, they eventually adjust to the change and support Edward's feelings for Bella. They are all vampire offspring of the mysterious Carlisle Cullen and his vampire wife Esme.

While Jasper and Emmett's parents remain unknown, Rosalie and Edward talk of their parents occaisionally. Alice is from an asylum and doesn't know who created her nor does she remember her past human life.

Edward is described as being impossibly beautiful. His face is angular and perfect--high cheekbones, strong jawline, straight nose, and beautiful, perfect lips. His hair, which is always in casual disarray, is an unusual bronze shade inherited by his biological mother, Elizabeth. As a human, his eyes were an emerald green. He is said to have a dazzling crooked smile. He stands 6'2", has a slender yet muscular body, and is physically 17 years old.
