PHOBIAS: The only thing Bella is truly afraid of is losing Edward, followed by the rest of her family, both birth (Charlie and Renee), her new family (the Cullens) and her extended family (Jacob, the Blacks). As a human, Edward's driving use to scare her, but that isn't an issue anymore RELIGIOUS BELIEF: Bella's never been that big on religion, though she does believe in heaven and hell. She's also convinced vampires of her kind have souls | ||

ABILITIES: Strength: As a vampire, she is extremely strong, and resistant. Capable of lifting cars above her head, or having bullits bounce off of her skin, she is currently stronger than older vampires due to her newborn status, and her blood still lingering in her tissue. Speed: Bella can move faster than the human eye can follow. Again, her newborn status makes her faster than some other vampires, and her actual speed will not be known until the blood leaves her tissue in about a years time. Senses: Her sight, sense of smell, and eyesight are all extremely heightened. When wearing contacts, she can see the fibers of the material, she can hear music playing in a car from miles away, and pick up the sent of many objects and humans. She's still learning about her senses, mostly smell, and remembering different scents to help her out as she goes along Appearance: Everything about her is attractive to humans. Her unhuman beauty, her voice, and her smell. As a vampire, in the sunlight her skin sparkles like thousands of tiny diamons, revealing her for what she is. Gifted: As a vampire, she is gifted. Like Edward, Alice and Jasper, she has an extra ability. She is a "Shield." As a human, her mind was always protected from mental attacks or abilities. As a vampire, she is able to extended that shield to others, and is learning to mold it to her will. She is also slowly working on being able to push her shield away, so that Edward may be able to hear her thoughts if she wished. Her gift is considered rare and powerful, and would probably be sought after by the Volturi. Ontop of this, she is a very resistant newborn. While others are always blood thirsty, she has a very good handle on her craving, and shows the resistance of a vampire has been trying to control her thirst for years. It is unknown if this is an extra talent, or a result of months of mental preporation for her turning. WEAKNESSES: Bella is not your classic vampire that hides from crosses, sunlight, holy water, or anything like that. Take all the legends and throw them out the window. A stake to the heart is only going to make her feel bad for the stake. There are very few things that can kill her, and they would be anothe vampire from her world, or a shape shifter from her world. She would have to be ripped apart and then burned, other wise, if someone put the pieces back together, she would heal. Very few human weapons could harm her. Maybe an extremely powerful bomb, if she staid in one place long enough to let it hit her, might damage her, but it would have to be very powerful, and hardly worth the devistation. As a newborn, though very in control, she still has a bit of a stronger temper. It usually isn't wise to push her limitations, as she can still end up 'seeing red' and attack quite easily. She also still isn't willing to put herself anywhere near flowing blood, for fear that she will attack. Though she has proven that she can hold her breath and run away from humans, even in the middle of hunting. | ||

As a human, Bella always saw herself as rather plane, with nothing very special about her. She never felt worthy as being part of the Cullen family. As a vampire, her views have changed, and now sees herself as more as an equal. She's been described as being like a model, and quite stunning, having beauty like Alice and Esme. Her hair is long to her waist, wavy, and full bodies. Her skin is bone white, hard and cold to humans. Her eyes are a strange, amber to orange colour, with more red than gold at the moment. They turn black as she gets thirsty, and the circles under her eyes become more noticable as she hungers. She's stunning, like almost every other vampire, and often heads turn when she walks by. HEIGHT: 5'4 SIZE: 2 HAIR: Brown, wavy down her back EYES: Currently a mix between newborn crimson red, and vegetarian gold. Almost orange MARKINGS: Bella has a cresent shaped scar on her hand from when James bit her, that never fully healed when she was turned | ||

Isabella Marie Swan was born on September 13, 1987 to Renée and Charlie Swan, a young couple living in the small town of Forks, Washington. Bella's parents divorced when Bella was six months old, and Renée took Bella with her when she moved to Phoenix, Arizona. Very little of Bella's life in Phoenix is mentioned, although she does allude to not fitting in very well at her old school, never having any romantic relationships or many friends, and that she spent a lot of time with her mother. She mentions briefly taking piano lessons, which she complained about until her mother let her discontinue her lessons, and having (and killing) a few pet fish - three in a row. It is also known that she used to take ballet lessons in a studio near her house, and that she wasn't very good; she was always placed near the back at recitals | ||

At the start of the first book, Bella's mother has recently married Phil Dwyer, a minor league baseball player who is much younger than herself. Phil travels a lot due to his profession, and Bella notices how much her mother wants to be with him while he travels. So, to make it easier for them, Bella moves back to her birthtown of Forks, Washington, to live with her father Charlie Swan. She enrolls at Forks High School and notices that the boys there are immediately attracted to her, although she dismisses their advances. She makes a few new friends, including Jessica Stanley, Angela Weber, and Mike Newton. The one group of people at Forks High School that truly intrigues Bella are the Cullens, a mysterious family consisting of five adopted children. Edward Cullen, in particular, captures her attention. As the story progresses, Bella finds out from a family friend, Jacob Black, that the Cullens are supposedly vampires. However, they are different from other vampires in that they are "vegetarian"– that is, they substitute animal blood for human blood, refusing to hunt humans. As Edward and Bella get to know each other better, it is hard for Edward to be near her, because he feels a particular draw to the scent of her blood. Although he does not drink human blood, Edward constantly lusts for it, and Bella's blood is especially tantalizing for him. He must constantly control his desire. He also finds that his mind reading capabilities do not work on her. Eventually, the two grow closer and declare their love for one another. Edward introduces her to his family, and soon after she is invited to watch their baseball game. During the game, danger reveals itself in the form of a visiting vampire coven consisting of Laurent, Victoria, and James. Victoria's mate, James, is a sadistic tracker vampire who has set his sights on killing Bella. He tricks her into confronting him alone, and the Cullen family must rush to Bella's aid. They destroy James before he can kill her, though the other vampires of his coven, Victoria and Laurent, survive. Bella spends time in a hospital with Edward constantly by her side, where he admits that his sister Alice saw a vision of Bella becoming a vampire. However, he is determined to keep her human, despite her own determination to become a vampire. The reasons behind his intentions are revealed in New Moon. At the end of the novel, Edward takes Bella to their prom, despite her broken leg and angry protests. There are high levels of tension as the book ends, caused by Edward and Bella's differences of opinion about turning Bella into a vampire. The events of New Moon begin on Bella's eighteenth birthday. Bella is especially upset because it is the day that she becomes older, physically, than Edward, who will always be 17. Edward persuades her to come to his house on the evening of her birthday for a party thrown by his sister, Alice. Bella receives a paper cut while opening one of her gifts, drawing a single drop of blood and causing Edward's brother, Jasper, to try to attack her. Edward, in the process of defending Bella from Jasper, throws her into a table filled with crystal, which results in Bella getting a deep cut from her wrist to her elbow. Although Bella's injuries are not life-threatening, Edward later decides that she would be safer without him, his family, and his dangerous style of life, so he deceives Bella into thinking that he does not love her any longer and leaves Forks with his family. Bella sinks into a deep depression for four months, until she is 'awoken' by Charlie, her father. He threatens to send her back to live with her mother in Jacksonville, Florida, because he is worried about her behavior. To appease her father, she tries to engage in normal, teenage-like behavior. She invites her friend Jessica to go to Port Angeles with her for dinner and a movie. While there, she carelessly approaches four men standing outside a bar. This results in her hearing Edward's voice inside her head, warning her to turn around. Bella soon realizes that whenever she puts herself in a dangerous situation, she can hear Edward's voice with perfect clarity. With this discovery in mind, Bella seeks out Jacob Black and convinces him to fix a motorcycle for her and teach her how to ride. Jacob and Bella become very close, verging on the edge of romance, when suddenly Jacob refuses to answer any of her calls and asks her not to come to his house anymore. It is not until a week later that Bella learns what has happened to her best friend: he has become a werewolf and is avoiding Bella for her own safety. She also learns that Victoria has returned to kill her, out of revenge for Edward killing Victoria's mate, James, in Twilight. Bella and Jacob reconcile, and she assists his werewolf pack of brothers in hunting down Victoria. To hear Edward's voice again, Bella attempts cliff-diving and nearly drowns. When Alice, who has the power to see the future, sees Bella jump, she believes Bella had committed suicide and subsequently returns to Forks. Edward, isolated from his family by his own volition, is told by Rosalie, his other adopted sister, that Bella is dead. Alice finds Bella and tells her that Edward is going to Volterra, Italy to ask the Volturi to kill him, because he believes Bella to be dead. Bella and Alice quickly pursue Edward to Italy, and stop him from being killed. Afterwards they are brought to speak with the Volturi, where they make a promise to change Bella into a vampire so that they can be let free. Back in Forks, Bella and Edward are reunited and he promises to never leave her again. When Edward once again refuses to transform Bella into a monster, she decides to let his family do just that– decide whether she should become a vampire and thus join their family. All except Edward and Rosalie vote affirmatively for her to be changed. Later, Jacob meets with Edward and Bella to remind Edward and his family of the treaty made between the Cullens and the La Push werewolves, which states that no Cullen may bite a human. Bella is thus left in a difficult position: if she does not become a vampire, the Volturi will come to kill her. However, if the Cullens do make her a vampire, they will have broken their treaty with the La Push werewolves, which would start a war with the Cullens. Eclipse begins with Bella reading a letter from Jacob that says that they can't be friends anymore. She is upset about this, but her mood improves when Edward comes to visit her. Edward is trying to convince Bella to fill out more application forms for college, but Bella thinks that college is pointless since she will be turning into a vampire soon anyway. Edward then sees an article in the newspaper about a series of mysterious killings in Seattle and explains to Bella that these killings are most likely a newborn vampire, unable to control its thirst. Later on that day in school, Bella witnesses Alice having a vision: Victoria is coming back to Forks to hunt Bella. Ultimately, Edward must go hunting and leave Bella. For fear of Bella putting herself in danger, he bribes Alice with a yellow 911 Porsche Turbo to watch over Bella while he's gone and keep her away from Jacob. Bella is furious at Edward's presumption and manages to slip away to see Jacob. Upon returning to the Cullens' house, she encounters Edward. He is not upset that Bella ran away, and realizes that he has been overprotective. Bella thanks Edward, and he begins occasionally taking her to the La Push line for regular visits with Jacob. During one of the visits, Jacob admits that he is in love with Bella and forcefully kisses her. Bella is furious and punches him in the face, succeeding only in breaking her hand. Edward later threatens to break Jacob's jaw for Bella if he ever kisses her without her permission again. Meanwhile, Bella still has her heart set on joining Edward and his family as a vampire. But, after consideration, she decides that there is one thing she would like to do while human: have Edward make love to her. Edward immediately refuses this "demand", explaining that although he wants her as much as she wants him, he could easily kill her if he loses control. Bella insists that he would never allow himself to let that happen. Eventually, Edward agrees that they can "try", but she still must marry him first. Bella reluctantly agrees, making her Edward's fiancée. Moments before Bella's graduation, she realizes that the army of newborn vampires are under the control of Victoria and therefore will be coming after herself. Having no other allies, the Cullens and the La Push pack of werewolves join forces to battle Victoria and her army. Before the battle, Jacob threatens Bella that he will go in battle with the intentions of dying unless she kisses him. Bella agrees, and as she kisses him she realizes that she loves Jacob as well. She also recognizes that her love for Jacob is no comparison to the love she holds for Edward. Once the battle is over and Victoria and her army is defeated, Bella visits Jacob to tell him of her decision to continue her plans with Edward. Thanks to Alice, the reception moved forward, and Bella married Edward at just eighteen, stirring up some serious gossip in Forks, but once she saw him waiting for her, she forgot all about it. After an almost uneventful wedding (minus the almost-fight when Jacob returned) Bella was about to be off on her Honeymoon, when she found herself in Los Angeles. | O O C time zone: atlantic • pb: kristen stewart banner thanks to most icons found at |
