He became an empty man. How different is Breaking Dawn from Forever Dawn? What changed, what stayed the same, and why? Will you ever post extras from Forever Dawn? The basic story is the same. Bella and Edward get married and go to Isle Esme for their honeymoon. Bella gets pregnant with Renesmee. The birth just about kills Bella, but Edward makes her a vampire in time. Jacob imprints on Renesmee.
Alice bails. There are a couple of things that family members told me they particularly missed, so I would start there. What do you name the most unique baby in the world? I looked through a lot of baby name websites. Eventually I realized that there was no human name that was going to work for me, so I surrendered to necessity and made up my own. But this was fantasy, and no human name fit, so I did the best I could. I named Renesmee so long ago—Fall —that the name now sounds really natural to me.
What is the definition of a werewolf? Is it a man who changes into a wolf? Or is it a man who, once infected by a werewolf bite, changes into a wolf during a full moon? If you go with the basic description, then the Quileutes are werewolves. During the standoff with the Volturi not a normal day , Edward sees that Caius is going to use the treaty with the werewolves as an excuse to attack. Leah is currently pretty satisfied with life. She has absolutely no romantic interest in Jacob, and the whole Nessie thing only bothers her in that it ties her to the vampires.
This is one of the reasons that Sam is mature beyond his years. He picked up a lot of the slack. So you have to think on your feet and speak in sound bites. When I write a story, I start out with infinite possibilities. As I describe any character or plot point, I make those characteristics finite. For example, once I decide Bella is a brunette, all of her blonde and redhead possibilities disappear.
Once I decide Bella lives in Washington, all the other places she might have lived are gone. Until I need to know a certain fact about the character, all the possibilities stay open out there in that universe of possibilities.
If I set something in concrete prematurely, it could be a stumbling block later, so I try to keep an open mind about details until they become necessary to the story. If I explore a character too early, that can lock me into a situation that might be difficult to work with later.
Vampires and pregnancy: when did that idea occur to you? How does that work? Every time she manages to commit to a TV show without getting bored, an angel gets its wings. When she's not writing, you can find her trying to learn a new language, watching hockey go Avs! Breakfast food is life and coffee is what makes the world go round. Bella's adoptive sister-in-law: Alice Cullen. Alice Cullen is Bella's adoptive sister-in-law.
Aside from Edward and Renesmee, she is the closest to her in the Cullen family. Alice has been eager to become her friend after she saw their united future; she eventually gets her wish when Bella becomes romantically involved with Edward. Alice likes to dress her up and provide any kind of fashion to make her look pretty, although Bella dislikes the idea of fashion. Bella allows Alice to arrange her wedding after her endless pleading and made her maid of honor, although she retains veto-power on the guest list.
When the Volturi prepare to end their family, Alice runs away with Jasper but leaves clues for Bella to find a lawyer named J. Jenks to help her arrange legal paperwork for Renesmee to escape. Alice and Jasper return with a half-vampire, half-human hybrid named Nahuel. They arrive just on time to prevent the confrontation from turning into an ugly fight and save their family from slaughter.
That same night, Bella angrily confronts her for leaving her cryptic clues that caused her endless mental pain. Bella's adoptive sister-in-law: Rosalie Hale. Rosalie Hale is Bella's adoptive sister-in-law. Rosalie initially disliked her for the attention she was receiving from Edward, and later for wanting to become a vampire; something she would never have considered if she'd had a choice. Her dislike of Bella began to fade a little bit after she risked her life to save Edward from committing suicide, but she still wanted her to remain human.
Rosalie tells her life story to Bella in Eclipse , hoping to make her consider her options before making her decision. Although she still chose immortality over mortality, Rosalie volunteered to help do Bella's hair on her wedding day.
When Bella was pregnant with Renesmee, she asked Rosalie to be her guardian, knowing that she would side with her. During pregnancy, Rosalie cared for and protected Bella, though she mostly focused on the baby. After Bella gave birth to Renesmee, they shared a genuine love for the baby and became close sisters at last. Rosalie admitted that she envied Bella in Eclipse, because she wished she was still a human.
Bella's adoptive brother-in-law: Emmett Cullen. Emmett Cullen is Bella's adoptive brother-in-law. Bella found him intimidating but fine to be with, describing him as the kind of big brother she'd wanted but much more horrifying. When Edward saved Bella from a car accident, Emmett was upset that he had exposed their family secret, but quickly warmed up to her involvement after finding out that Edward had fallen in love with her.
He likes to make Bella blush. He votes in her favor of becoming one of them in New Moon , despite Edward's suggestion of hiding Bella and fighting the Volturi in the process. After she becomes a vampire, she challenges Emmett to an arm-wrestling match and wins the right to prohibit him from joking about her sex life with Edward.
He demands several rematches, only to fail over and over again. When he is put in charge with teaching Bella how to fight, she notes that he's using the opportunity as a vendetta for all the losses of arm-wrestling. Bella's adoptive brother-in-law: Jasper Hale. Jasper Hale is Bella's adoptive brother-in-law.
Jasper wanted to kill Bella after Edward used his strength and speed to save her, but Jasper waited until the Cullens had a talk about it, and in the talk Alice says that Bella is going to be her friend, and convinced Jasper to let her be. Jasper initially disliked Bella for her involvement with the family, but later warms up to her, though he keeps in distance to avoid losing control of his bloodlust, which happens in New Moon , when Bella cuts her finger.
He tries to attack her, but Edward and Emmett are able to stop him. He votes in her favor to become one of them, partly because he wants to stop the constant urge to kill her, but also because he already thinks of her as part of their family, like the others. On occasion, Jasper would use his power to calm Bella. They become closer to each other after Bella became a vampire. He initially expected her to act like any newborn vampire; vicious and uncontrollable by thirst, and was always near her side to immobilize her; however, to his surprise, she is very in control of her new instincts.
This allows him to re-evaluate his view on newborns. Bella's best human friend: Angela Weber. Angela Weber , kind and shy yet insightful, is among the human friends Bella made after moving to Forks. Although she is a minor character in the books, she becomes Bella's best friend on the human category, comforting Bella during her depression in New Moon and attending Bella's wedding in Breaking Dawn.
Her kindness towards Bella also appeals to Edward. Bella always finds Angela better to be around than Jessica, though she would avoid her sometimes to save her worries. In Eclipse , she admits to herself that Angela will be one of the people she will miss the most after graduation.
In Breaking Dawn , Angela is the one who catches Bella's wedding bouquet at her reception. Bella's friend: Jessica Stanley. Jessica Stanley has an on and off friendship with Bella, particularly since Edward and Bella started dating.
She was 'practically' the first person Bella had a full conversation with in school as well as being her first friend, although Bella initially disregarded her as "superficial". In New Moon , Bella hangs out with Jessica to avoid her father, but ends up angering her by putting herself in danger and ignoring Jessica. Jessica later ignores Bella and starts hanging out with Lauren.
She tends to get overtly excited, such as on graduation day, where she states that they were friends right away, even though at one point she ignored Bella for most of the semester. This allowed the two of them to end their relationship on friendly terms. She was later invited as a guest at Bella and Edward's wedding.
Jessica has an on-and off-relationship with Mike , though is seemingly jealous of Mike's affection towards Bella. Bella and Jessica have a closer friendship in the movie adaptations than in the books. Mike Newton is a generically popular boy at Bella's new high school who is instantly attracted to Bella.
He is friendly and Bella thinks he possesses traits like a golden retriever: his happiness and loyalty in walking her to class and speaking with her every day. Mike frequently tries to ask Bella out, but she always declines. He becomes jealous when he realizes that Bella and Edward Cullen are dating.
In New Moon , after a movie date with Bella, Jacob and Mike, Mike has seemingly given up on Bella, and tells her that "girls are cruel". Mike develops a new romantic relationship with Jessica Stanley when he accepts that Edward is Bella's boyfriend. In New Moon , Bella tries to rekindle their friendship after four months of "being a zombie" after the Cullens left Forks.
Mike becomes her friend again, although not with the same enthusiasm and also never forgets his fondness of Bella. Mike apparently never got over his infatuation for Bella. At Edward and Bella's wedding reception, Edward commented that Mike was having improper thoughts about her again.
Bella's friend: Tyler Crowley. Tyler Crowley is Bella's schoolmate in Forks, and her "almost-murderer" in Twilight : his car skidded on the icy parking lot and spun out of control, which wound up almost killing her until Edward stopped the van. He is the reason Edward accidentally exposed his inhuman features to Bella.
After nearly killing Bella in a car accident, Tyler feels obliged to make things even. While Bella declines, insisting that she must be in Seattle that day, he insists on taking her to prom. He tells the whole school and convinces most of the students that he is taking Bella to prom, much to her annoyance.
He shows up at Bella's house on prom night, only to be told over the phone by Edward that she would be unavailable every night as far as anyone but himself was concerned. They drifted apart after Twilight , mostly interacting at school without much conversation topics. Bella described him as being the "overtly eager" chess club type, and he was one of the three boys namely Mike, Tyler and himself who asked Bella to the spring dance, though she declined all three.
He develops a rivalry with Mike Newton, and later a dislike for Tyler as well. His friendship sways and mostly falls after Bella goes through a depression in the absence of Edward and the rest of the Cullen family.
He later develops a romantic relationship with a redheaded junior by the name of Katie Marshall , who lives next door to Bella, as stated in New Moon. In the movies, he begins a relationship with Angela Weber after she asked him to be her prom date. Jenks is a lawyer and a forger, and has counted Jasper as his priority client for over twenty years. He knows nothing of vampires , but he is well aware the Cullens never age and that he is dealing with the supernatural where they are concerned.
They bond through this business, and Bella decides to take over Jenks's business relationship with Jasper to spare him a heart attack. Publishers Weekly states that, after her transformation into a vampire, "it's almost impossible to identify with her" in Breaking Dawn.
Lilah Lohr of the Chicago Tribune compares Bella's character to the story of the Quileute wolves and describes it as "less satisfying. During sed on magic, Kirkus Reviews stated that "Bella's appeal is based on magic rather than character", but that her and Edward's "portrayal of dangerous lovers hits the spot.
Laura Miller of salon. Entertainment Weekly's Jennifer Reese, in her review of Breaking Dawn noted, in regard to Bella, "You may wish she had loftier goals and a mind of her own, but these are fairy tales, and as a steadfast lover in the Disney princess mold, Bella has a certain saccharine appeal", and that during Bella's pregnancy "she is not only hard to identify with but positively horrifying, especially while guzzling human blood to nourish the infant.
Washington Post journalist Elizabeth Hand noted how Bella was often described as breakable and that "Edward's habit of constantly pulling her onto his lap or having her ride on his back further emphasize her childlike qualities", continuing to write that "the overall effect is a weird infantilization that has repellent overtones to an adult reader and hardly seems like an admirable model to foist upon our daughters or sons.
Gina Dalfonzo, in an article posted on the National Review website, calls Bella "self-deprecating" before her transformation into a vampire, and afterwards she is "insufferably vain. Some fan critics argue that Bella is a "Mary Sue" due to the striking resemblance between Stephenie Meyer's and Bella's physical traits and personality characteristics, suggesting that Twilight may have been an expression of Meyer's personal fantasy.
Bella also does not have any acknowledged flaws in the novels, besides her clumsiness, which is generally agreed to be depicted as endearing and cute. The fact that she is also an exception to many established rules, such as Edward's inability to read her mind, and her exceptional control over her thirst, which no other character in the novels have, is also indicative as another "Mary Sue" trait—the fact that she attains and learns skills significantly faster than what is thought to be normal.
Bella is a short form of Isabella. Stephenie Meyer said on her website that Isabella is the name she had planned to name her daughter, if she had one. Kristen Stewart portrays Bella Swan throughout the franchise. Since she has green eyes, brown contacts were required to match Bella's eye color. Meyer stated that she was "very excited" to see Stewart play the part. The young Bella in Twilight was played by Catherine Grimme. Twilight Saga Wiki Explore.

I was born to be a vampire. But dying in the place of someone I love seemed like a good way to go. Chin-length dark hair framed her face, which was alabaster pale.
It was hard to tell if her features were beautiful, twisted as they were by rage and thirst. The feral red eyes were dominant—hard to look away from. She glared at me vigorously, shuddering and writhing every few seconds. Vincent Millay in Breaking Dawn: Part 1. The alien creature in the glass was indisputably beautiful, every bit as beautiful as Alice or Esme. She was fluid even in stillness, and her flawless face was pale as the moon against the frame of her dark, heavy hair. Her limbs were smooth and strong, skin glistening subtly, luminous as a pearl.
I just did the best with what I had, never quite fitting into my world. So this was really different. I was amazing now—both to them and to myself. It was like I had been born to be a vampire. The idea made me want to laugh, but it also made me want to sing. I had found my true place in the world, the place I fit, the place I shined. Though you can't read Bella's thoughts. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him—and I didn't know how potent that part might be—that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him. Suddenly, she was absolutely real, and of course I knew her. It was perfectly ordinary that I should take that very last step and reach for her, putting my hands exactly where they would fit best as I pulled her gently toward me. Worse than that, why couldn't I find in myself even the desire to want to stop? What did it mean that I didn't want him to stop?
That my hands clung to his shoulders, and liked that they were wide and strong? That his hands pulled me too tight against his body, and yet it was not tight enough for me? Even so, the fact that Bella believes that vampirism is the only way to go the sooner the better is a little frustrating.
She thinks the Cullens, especially Edward, are denying her something by asking her to wait a little bit. All of their turnings were the result of a near fatality. Bella, however, is choosing the life for herself. Is it really bad to have those human experiences like college and maybe a vacation somewhere sunny?
Instead, Bella decides that the only ending is the one where she becomes a vampire rather than exploring her options more. This one does, admittedly, go hand in hand with zero self-preservation as it was definitely the most disturbing aspect of New Moon. No and Bella falls into a months long despair. This leads her to do increasingly dangerous stunts in order to hallucinate Edward, which is precisely the picture of self-destructive tendencies. It got so bad that when Alice had a vision of Bella jumping, she thought that the ending was permanent.
This is the opposite of healthy, both physically and mentally. She needed help. On the other hand, Bella complains constantly about Forks and everything about it. She is flat out mean to people she thinks are beneath her, and she pretty much wants to have parts of her human life while also being a vampire. She can go from one extreme to the other in surprising speed. Not that all characters have to be one or the other, but there should be some sort of middle ground here.
One of the major aspects of vampirism that we hear from the Cullens is how hard it is to be a vampire. The talk about the newborn thirst and how powerful the need for it could be for them can be pretty demanding.
Nothing that the Cullen's described impacted Bella at all, which would have made for a compelling story than whatever was happening with the Volturi. Bella was just good right from the gate. She was even able to be around her father in short order.
