Bella Swan CuLLen

Biography

Full Name: Isabella Marie Swan

Status: Human / Vampire

Date of Birth: September 13, 1987

Originally from: Phoenix, Arizona

Hair color: Brown

Eye color: Brown

Height: 5’4”

Physical description: "Bella is very fair-skinned, with long, straight, dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her face is heart-shaped—a wide forehead with a widow’s peak, large, wide-spaced eyes, prominent cheekbones, a thin nose and a narrow jaw with a pointed chin. Her lips are a little out of proportion, a bit too full for her jaw line. Her eyebrows are darker than her hair and more straight than they are arched. She’s slender but not at all muscular, and weighs about 115 pounds. She has stubby fingernails because she has a nervous habit of biting them."

Distinguishing quality: Extremely accident prone; "Bella has a very private MIND. No one can touch her there."

Occupation: Graduate of Forks High School. Part time job at Newton’s Outfitters.

Family members: Mother – Renee Dwyer, Stepfather – Phil Dwyer Father – Charlie Swan

Nick Names: Bella to friends – Bells or Bell to Charlie

Car: 1953 Chevy Pickup Truck – red Repaired Motorcycle

Personal history: Bella was born in Forks, but her mother and father split up when she was six months old. She spent the majority of her young life in California and then later Phoenix, Arizona where she wasn’t very popular and never felt as if she fit in. She is far too clumsy for her own good and tries to avoid sports and dancing.

When her mother remarried, Bella decided to move back to Forks to live with her father. She felt a bit guilty that her mother wasn’t able to spend as much time traveling with her new husband because of her, and so willingly, but not enthusiastically, she moved in with her dad. He bought her a truck and has tried to make her feel comfortable in her new home.

At school, Bella was greeted with great interest and made friends with a few people right away. She first saw Edward and his family at lunch time and was told that they generally kept to themselves. In biology class, Bella was forced to take a seat next to Edward, as it was the only empty seat in the room. He reacted strangely to her, making her think he hated her. It wasn’t until two weeks later that Edward returned to school and Bella was able to properly meet him.

After a while, Bella came to guess Edward’s secret and accepted him as a vampire. He saved her life several times and made it his mission to keep her safe. The two fell in love despite the odds against them. Bella became the victim of a tracker named James and was saved when Edward drank her blood and stoped the venom from spreading through her system.

On her 18th Birthday, Bella got a paper cut and was put in great danger at the Cullens home. Because of this, Edward decided to leave her. Bella existed in a near catatonic state for weeks afterwards and only just managed to go to school and work. She decided to take risks to “hear” Edward’s voice and enlisted the help of Jacob Black in rebuilding a motorcycle. The two became very good friends until Jacob appeared to have joined a cult. Bella learned that Jacob and the other teenage Quileute boys are werewolves.

When Alice returned to Forks, she told Bella that Edward thinks she is dead and has plans to kill himself. The two raced to Italy where they stopped Edward and were taken in by the Volturi. They returned to Forks with the promise that Bella will become a vampire. At home, Edward agreed to change Bella as long as she married him first.

After a few weeks of being grounded, Bella was put on “parole for good behavior” so long as she agreed to make time for Jacob and her other friends as well as Edward and the Cullens. She was accepted into the University of Alaska even though she didn’t really plan on attending. She also was made aware, by Edward, of an irresponsible vampire creating newborns around the Seattle area.

Edward took her to Florida to see her mother, and when she got back she tried to contact Jacob, which Edward did not approve of. She also found out that while she was gone there had been a bit of a battle between the Cullens and the Wolves over the hunt for Victoria. She managed to get in some time with Jacob while Edward was hunting. As “punishment” Bella was forced to stay at the Cullen’s home for the duration of Edward’s next hunting trip, where she talked to Rosalie and learned all about her transformation into a vampire and why she is against Bella joining the family. Jacob helped Bella escape from Alice at school and she told him she would be joining the Cullen family soon, which Jacob did not respond well to. When Edward returned he agreed to allow Bella time with Jacob so long as she told him when and where first.

When Edward picked up the scent of an unknown vampire having been in Bella’s bedroom, his concern lead to the prospect of battle with the newborns in Seattle. Graduation came and Bella pointed out to Edward and the Cullens that she believed Victoria was the one creating the newborns in Seattle. This new information surprisingly brought an alliance between the Cullens and the Quileutes to not only protect Bella, but also stop the newborns from attacking anyone else. Fearing that Edward could be injured, Bella asked him sit the battle out and stay with her. Bella and Edward reached another compromise that she would marry him in exchange for them making love while she is still human.

Bella helped Edward set up the newborns by planting her scent in the field where the battle will happen. Freezing in the cold, Bella slept in Jacob’s warm arms and listened to Edward and Jacob talk about her. In the morning, she made her good-byes to Jake and gave him a real kiss. She assured Edward that she loves him more and wants to be with him forever. The battle ensued bringing Victoria and her personal helper, Riley, to the camp. Bella watched as Edward and Seth Clearwater killed them and burned them. When Bella learned that Jacob was wounded in the battle, she suffered a bit of a breakdown. When Jane and the Volturi arrived to clean up the mess, Bella stuck to Edward’s side as he begged for the lives of a few of the newborns, but was unsuccessful.

Bella went to see Jacob and told him that even though she loved him, she can’t live without Edward and has chosen him. On her way home, she stopped her car and started crying, and stayed there until she was rescued by Edward. In the morning Bella told Edward again that she has made her choice and that the time has come to enlist Alice’s help with their wedding. We learned from a letter that Edward sent Jacob that the wedding date has been set and that the invitations have been sent out.

Car: Volvo S60R - silver, Aston Martin V12 – silver volvo

Personal history: Edward’s human life in Chicago was fairly happy and uneventful. His parents were moderately wealthy as his father was a successful lawyer. The biggest worry in his mother’s life was the fact that World War I was raging and Edward was only a year away from the draft, which had been lowered to 18 years of age in August of 1918.

By September of that same year, the influenza epidemic hit, claiming the lives of both of Edward’s parents and very nearly taking his own as well. His attending physician was Carlisle Cullen, who saved him by changing him into a vampire. It was Edward’s mother who requested Dr. Cullen save Edward. She seemed to “know” that Carlisle could save him in a special way and begged him to do it.

Since that time, Edward has passed as Carlisle’s adopted son or as the younger brother of his wife before the family grew to its current size. He has been to medical school twice, but never practiced. He loves driving fast and collects cars as a hobby.

From 1927 until 1931, Edward had a bout of rebellion and went off for a few years on his own away from Carlisle and Esme. He figured that he could drink off of humans if they were truly evil, using his special gifts to avoid the innocent. After a while, he couldn’t “escape the debt of so much human life taken, no matter how justified” and returned to Carlisle and Esme who welcomed him back with open arms.

Around 1936, Edward moved to Forks with his family where they encountered the Quileute Indians who have the ability to transform into werewolves. A treaty was arranged stating that the wolves would leave the Cullens alone so long as they didn’t bite any humans and stay off of the Quileute land. The Cullens lived in Forks for a few years before moving on to other places.

In 2003 the Cullens returned to Forks. Then in 2005 Edward met Isabella Swan. Her blood “sang” for him and he becamesinfatuated with her. She soon figureed out his secret and accepted him as a vampire. They fell in love despite innumerable odds. When Bella became the victim of a tracker named James, Edward was forced to drink her blood to stop the venom form spreading through her system.

Edward stayed with Bella until her disastrous 18th birthday party where he was forced to reevaluate the future of her life with him.He decided that Bella would be better off living a normal life without him and left Forks along with his family. He spent his time tracking Victoria all around the southern United States and even ventured into Mexico and South America. When he was told that Bella was dead, he traveled to Italy with the intention of committing suicide. Bella and Alice arrived in Italy in time to stop him. He convinced the Volturi to let them all return to Forks with the promise that Bella would be made a vampire.

The return to Forks meant the return to a normal routine between Edward and Bella. He agreed to change Bella as long as she would marry him. He was then reminded by Jacob Black that the treaty says he is forbidden to bite a human.

News reports came in shortly there after that alerted Edward and his family that a newborn vampire was loose in Seattle. This fact coupled with Bella’s desire to make amends with Jacob brought out the over protective side in Edward. He took her away to Florida to visit her mother and even had Alice “kidnap” Bella when he was away hunting. He did eventually allow Bella to see Jacob, concluding that it would better for her to see him safely than to try to escape off to see him.

When Edward picked up the scent of an unknown vampire having been in Bella’s bedroom, his concern lead to the prospect of battle with the newborns in Seattle Graduation came and Bella pointed out to Edward and the Cullens that she believed Victoria was the one creating the newborn in Seattle.This new information surprisingly brought an alliance between the Cullens and the Quileutes to not only protect Bella, but also stop the newborns from attacking anyone else. In order to calm Bella’s nerves about the attack, Edward agreed to sit the battle out and stay with her. Bella and Edward reached another compromise that she would marry him in exchange for them making love while she is still human.

Edward helped Bella set up the newborns by planting her scent in the field where the battle would happen. After an evening in cold watching Jacob sleep next to Bella to keep her warm he allowed Jacob and Bella to make their good-byes, which included a willing kiss from Bella. Bella assured Edward that she loves him more and wants to be with him forever. The battle ensued bringing Victoria and her personal helper, Riley, to the camp. Edward and Seth Clearwater killed them and burned them. When Jane and the Volturi arrived to clean up the mess, Edward tried to save a few of the newborns, but was unsuccessful.

After Bella said her final good-bye to Jacob, Edward went and collected her from her car and held her all night as she cried. In the morning Bella told Edward again that she has made her choice and that the time has come to enlist Alice’s help with their wedding. Later, against Bella’s request, Edward sent Jacob an invitation to the wedding along with his personal thanks for everything he ever did to protect and care for Bella.




Alice Cullen

Originally from: Biloxi, Mississippi

Hair color: Black

Eye color: Vampire gold/black

Height: 4’ 10”

Physical description: pixie-like, very thin, small features, spiky hair

Special talents: Can see into the future

Occupation: Currently enrolled at Forks High School

Family members: Married to Jasper– adopted member of the Cullen family. Sister Cynthia and one niece.

Source of change: Worker at mental asylum – name unknown

Hobbies: Loves to shop

Personal history: Alice was held in a mental asylum because of her ability to have visions. There she was the favorite of a vampire who worked in the building. James, a hunter vampire, took the challenge of hunting her simply because another vampire desired her. Once it was clear to him that James was after her, he, the vampire who worked in the asylum, freed Alice and changed her before James could kill her. James killed the other vampire instead. She had no memory of these events and was left to find her own way.

At some point she saw Jasper in a vision. He was searching for someone and Alice provided him with what he was looking for. They found each other in 1948 and by 1950 they had found Carlisle with more help from her visions. They have been members of the family ever since.

Alice and Jasper have been officially married, but unlike Rosalie and Emmett, once was enough.

Alice became good friends with Bella through her association with Edward. In 2006 when the Cullens have left Forks, it is Alice who first returns to check up on Bella. Alice also travels to Italy with Bella to save Edward’s life.


Jasper Cullen

Biography

Full Name: Jasper Whitlock Hale

Status: Vampire

Date of Birth: 1843

Date of change to vampire: 1863 – he was 20

Originally from: Texas

Hair color: Honey blond

Eye color: Vampire gold/black

Height: 6” 3”

Physical description: muscular, but lean

Special talents: Able to manipulate the emotions of those around him

Occupation: Currently "in college"

Family members: Married to Alice – adopted member of the Cullen family

Nick Names: Jazz

Source of change: Maria

Hobbies: Interested in scholarly endeavors

Personal history: Jasper served as a Major in the Confederate army during the Civil War. The vampire family that changed him in 1863 was very different from the Cullens in their dietary habits –they fed off humans. Jasper became depressed over his way of life and sought something better. His search led him to Alice in 1948 , which in turn led him to Carlisle in 1950.

Jasper has the most difficult time with the lifestyle set by the Cullen family. He avoids contact with humans, as he is more tempted than the others to drink from them. Going to school is a difficult task, but he does it for Alice.

He would do anything for Alice, as she is his whole life. Even though he treats the other members of his family with respect, he isn’t bound to them the way he is to Alice.

Jasper uses the last name of Hale because he and Rosalie look so much alike and people assume them to be twins. The vampires tend to go with whatever the humans are willing to believe. Rosalie insists on using Hale as a last name, and therefore, Jasper took it as his, too.

Emmett describes the event as being saved by an angel who brought him to God. Once the pain of the change had passed, Rosalie and Carlisle explained the situation to him, and to their surprise, the whole vampire issue didn’t disturb him. In his own words: “But if Carlisle and Rosalie, my angel, were vampires, how bad could it be?" He had trouble with the rules at first and has tasted human blood on several occasions.

He is married to Rosalie, and has married her several times for show. Emmett will do anything to make Rosalie happy, and since Rosalie likes attention and is all about show, she gets a wedding every so many years. Often time, he and Rosalie live away from the others as a newlywed couple.



Rosalie Cullen

Biography

Full Name: Rosalie Lillian Hale

Status: Vampire

Date of Birth: 1915

Date of change to vampire: 1933 – she was 18

Originally from: Rochester, New York

Hair color: Golden

Eye color: Vampire gold/black

Height: 5’9”

Physical description: Statuesque, model-like, wavy hair to the middle of her back

Personality traits: Tenacity

Occupation: Currently "in college"

Family members: Married to Emmett

Nick Names: Rosy or Rose

Source of change: Carlisle Cullen

Hobbies: Mechanical – tinkers with cars

Car: BMW M3 convertible – red

Personal history: To be explored in Eclipse – Rosalie was brought into the Cullen family as a companion for Edward in 1933. However, the two never responded to each other as anything other than a brother and sister. In 1935, Rosalie found Emmett being attacked by a bear and brought him to Carlisle to be saved. She has married Emmett publicly several times, as she is all about show and being fussed over. Rosalie’s true defining personal trait is her beauty. Like Emmett’s strength–they’re both more intensely physical than intellectual, which makes them a perfect match.

It is Rosalie who tells Edward that Bella is dead, and sets him off on a mission to kill himself. She later apologizes. She is also the only one of the Cullens who does not vote in favor of Bella becoming a vampire saying that it isn’t a choice she would have made for herself.



Esme Cullen

Biography

Full Name: Esme Anne Platt Evenson Cullen

Status: Vampire

Date of Birth: 1895

Date of change to vampire: 1921 - she was 26

Originally from: Columbus, Ohio

Hair color: Caramel

Eye color: Vampire gold/black

Height: 5’6”

Physical description: Heart-shaped face, small, slender but round

Personality traits: Ability to love passionately

Occupation: Antique Restoration

Family members: Married to Carlisle

Source of change: Carlisle Cullen

Hobbies: Architecture and restoration

Personal history: In 1911, Esme broke her leg falling out of a tree she’d climbed. Her family lived on a farm on the outskirts of Columbus. The local doctor was away, and it was after dark by the time they got her to the small hospital in Columbus. A Dr. Cullen treated her. It was his last month in town. She never got over the experience.

Esme was the last of her friends to marry. She was thinking of moving West to be a schoolteacher, but her father didn’t think it was respectable for a lady to live alone in the wilds. The son of a family friend, a man with good prospects, wanted to marry her, and her father pressured her to accept. She was indifferent towards Charles Evenson, but not opposed to him. She married him in 1917 at the age of 22, and quickly found that this had been a bad decision. Charles’s public face was very different from his private face; he abused her. Her parents counseled her to be a good wife and keep quiet. When he was drafted to fight in WW1, it was a huge relief to her. When he came back in 1919, it was terrifying.

Shortly after his return, Esme discovered she was pregnant. The pregnancy was Esme’s catalyst to escape. She couldn’t let a child be brought into that home. She ran away in 1920 to live with a second cousin in Milwaukee, and then moved further north when word of her whereabouts leaked to her parents. She blended in easily, pretending to be one of the many war widows. She taught school in a small community outside Ashland. When her baby died in 1921 from a lung infection just a few days after he was born, she had nothing left. She had no idea that Carlisle was working in the little hospital in Ashland when she jumped off the cliff outside the town. Carlisle remembered her, of course, as the happy girl she had been at sixteen. He didn’t want her to die and so he saved her.

When she opened her eyes, in all that pain, and saw the face that she’d never forgotten in a decade, she was relieved. She was not really that upset to find out she was a vampire, but she didn’t take it as in stride as Emmett had. Still, she was happy to be with the man/vampire of her dreams. She did always have that maternal ache, and, as the physically oldest of the Cullen’s, she fell into a mothering role.



Carlisle Cullen

Full Name: Carlisle Cullen

Status: Vampire

Date of Birth: 1640s

Date of change to vampire: After 1663 – he was 23

Originally from: London, England

Hair color: Blond

Eye color: Vampire gold/black

Height: 6’2”

Physical description: Very handsome, like a movie star

Special talents: Compassion

Occupation: Medical Doctor

Family members: Married to Esme Considers Edward, Rose, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper as his "children."

Nick Names: Stregoni Benefici

Source of change: Unnamed sewer vampires

Hobbies: Medicine - can easily resist the temptation of human blood

Car: Mercedes S55 AMG – black

Personal history: The son of an Anglican pastor, Carlisle was raised during a time of religious persecution. His father led hunts for witches, werewolves, and vampires all in the name of ridding the world of evil. As his father grew older, Carlisle was placed in charge of the raids. Carlisle wasn’t as enthusiastic about killing as his father was, but he was clever enough to discover a coven of true vampires living in the sewers of the city. He set a trap for the vampires and chased one down. Carlisle believes that the vampire was actually too hungry to run and consciously decided to attack. The vampire fell on Carlisle and left him bleeding in the streets after killing two other men and taking off with a third.

Knowing how his father would react, Carlisle crawled into a cellar and buried himself in rotting potatoes for the three days of the change. When he emerged, he was a vampire. At first he tried to destroy himself by jumping from great heights or drowning in the ocean. Somehow, he was so repelled by what he was that he resisted feeding off of humans. He even tried to kill himself with starvation.

Eventually the thirst was too powerful and he attacked a herd of passing deer. He found that living off of the blood of animals could sustain his life and was infinitely more humane than taking the life of a human. Over the course of two centuries, he developed a sort of immunity to the scent of human blood and was able to become a medical doctor.

Carlisle was studying in Italy when he met a coven of vampires called the Volturi that seemed more civilized and educated than those he was familiar with in England. Aro, Marcus, and Caius were the three vampires that inspired some of the works of Solimena. Even though they were refined, they persisted in trying to persuade Carlisle to drink from humans. Naturally, he refused.

In 1911 he was working in Columbus, Ohio, where he treated a happy and beautiful young girl by the name of Esme Platt for a broken leg. Shortly there after, he moved on to Chicago.

He spent several years in Chicago and was nearing the end of his allotted time. (Looking the way he does, he can generally stay in one area until the people believe him to be around the age of 35, and then he has to leave.) The influenza epidemic broke out in the city and Carlisle found himself treating Edward, who had just lost both of his parents and was on the verge of death himself. It was Edward’s mother who requested Dr. Cullen save Edward. She seemed to “know” that Carlisle could save him in a special way and begged him to do it. Carlisle acted out of loneliness and changed Edward.

The pair moved to northern Wisconsin where, in 1921, Carlisle again tended to Esme. This time her injuries were from a failed suicide attempt. Remembering her from before, and feeling saddened by the turn her life had taken, Carlisle changed Esme to save her. The two fell in love and were legally married. (Again, just the one time.)

Carlisle then found and changed Rosalie with the intention for her to be a companion to Edward, but it wasn’t to be. Carlisle then changed Emmett after Rosalie found him being mauled by a bear. Although he didn’t change Alice and Jasper, he accepted them as part of his family when they came to him.

Around 1936, Carlisle moved his family to Forks where they encountered the Quileute Indians who have the ability to transform into werewolves. A treaty was arranged stating that the wolves would leave the Cullens alone so long as they didn’t bite any humans and stay off of the Quileute land. The Cullens lived in Forks for a few years before moving on to other places.

The family returned to Forks, Washington after a stay in Alaska. At the start of Twilight, they have lived there for two years.




Jacob’s Biography

Full Name: Jacob Black

Status: Werewolf

Date of Birth: 1990

Originally from: Forks, WA

Hair color: Black

Eye color: Brown

Height: 6′5"

Physical description: Long, glossy hair in a pony tail, beautiful skin, a hint of childish roundness to his chin In his wolf form, Jacob’s coat is a rusty brown color.He cut his hair very short after his transformation but let it grow back out later on.

Occupation: Protect the LaPush area from Vampires

Family members: His mother, Sarah, died many years ago and he has twin older sisters, Rachel and Rebecca.

Hobbies: Fixing up cars and motorcycles

Personal history:
Jacob met Bella at First Beach about two months after she arrived in town. He told Bella the story of his ancestors making a treaty with the “cold ones”. It was Jacob’s great-grandfather who helped make the treaty.

Although Jacob didn’t believe the superstitions of his father or ancestors, he delivered a message to Bella that the Quileutes “will be watching” and a suggestion that she should break up with her boyfriend. Bella refuses.

After Edward left Bella later that September, she showed up at Jacob’s house wanting help fixing up two broken down motorcycles. Their friendship grew and Jacob hoped that someday they could be more than friends.

Jacob, as well as most of the boys on the Rez, experienced amazing growth spurts. Even though the boys are in their mid-teen years, they appeared to be in their twenties. One by one, the boys joined in with Sam and his odd little cult.

After going out with Bella to a movie, Jacob went home feeling very ill. At home, Jacob mysteriously changed into a creature he didn’t understand. He was very tall with paws instead of hands and when he spoke, he growled. It was later explained to him that he was a werewolf and that having the vampires near by was what triggerd the change at the onset of puberty. Because his anger is too difficult to control right now, Jacob was told to stay away from Bella.

Jacob and the other wolves tracked down Laurent in the woods and found him with Bella. They raced after him, tore him apart, and killed him. Later, Jacob managed to leave a suggestion with Bella that lead her to realize he was a werewolf.

Once Bella knew, Jacob included Bella in most of the LaPush activities and even aggred to take her cliff diving. While tracking Victoria, Jacob saw Bella jump off the cliff on her own. He dove into the water and saved her.

Soon after Alice returnd to Forks, Harry Clearwater died of a heart attack. Jacob was at the Swan home when the phone rang. Jacob answered it and told a man who he assumed was Carlisle that Charlie was at a funeral. In reality, the person was Edward and he assumed that Charlie was at Bella’s funeral. Jacob stayed behind while Alice and Bella raced off to Italy to save Edward.

When Edward and Bella returned, Jacob made sure Bella was grounded by showing Charlie the motocycles. He then reminded Edward that the treaty they have with the vampires states that the vampires are not to bite a human. Bite, not kill.

Jacob stayed away from Bella for the few weeks she was grounded, avoiding her phone calls and only sending her a very choppy note explaining why he couldn’t see her. Along with his pack, he tracked down Victoria and ended up getting into a disagreement with the vampires over who had the right to track her.

He feared the worst when Bella went away with Edward for a weekend and broke his silence when she returned by calling Bella to make sure she was still human. The next day, he went to Bella’s school to talk to Edward about the situation with Victoria. But he wasn’t granted time alone with Bella until she ran off to LaPush to visit him without permission. He told Bella about Victoria and more about his biology. Late, he “kidnapped” Bella away from her “imprisonment” with the Cullens and learned that she intends to join their family very soon, which makes him very angry. He tried to call Bella later on an apologize, but she won’t talk to him.

When the scent of an unknown vampire is picked up in Bella’s room, Jacob jumped at the request to help track him down. With a new agreement in place, Jacob invites Bella to come to a tribal council to hear about the werewolf legends. He even goes so far one night as to tell Bella that he is in love with her.

With the information that Victoria may be behind the newborn vampires in Seattle and the break in at Bella’s home, Jacob and his pack form an alliance with the Cullens to not only protect Bella, but also stop the newborns from attacking anyone else. He helped carry Bella away from here the battle will happen, up a mountain where they camp for the night. Freezing in the cold, Jacob held Bella in his arms as she slept and talked with Edward about his relationship with Bella. In the morning, he heard that Bella agreed to marry Edward and made his good-byes to Bella where she gave him a real kiss before he left to go fight in the battle. While Leah was trying to take down a newborn on her own, Jacob stepped in and was wounded. Carlisle examined him and found that he was healing, but slowly.

After the battle Bella came to see Jacob and told him that even though she loved him, she can’t live without Edward and has chosen him. An undetermined amount of time later, Jacob received a wedding invitation from Edward. The impact and implication break Jacob’s heart and he runs off to be alone.
