Renesmee can survive on either blood or human food, though she prefers blood, and she does not produce venom. Her special abilities are transmitting thoughts to others by touching their skin and penetrating mental shields, the opposite abilities of each of her parents.
Renesmee, nicknamed “Nessie”, is the daughter of Edward and Bella – thought to be their “miracle child” after everything they went through to keep both mother and daughter alive during pregnancy. She has the power to reveal her thoughts to people by touching them and seemingly breaking down their mental barriers.
As a result, she not only gains immeasurable strength and good health, but her daughter, Renesmee, is born a vampire-human hybrid. Renesmee is special, because she is not an Immortal Child, or a child that was bitten by a vampire. Instead, Renesmee is born biologically.
Renesmee's powers were the opposites of her parents. Edward could read minds and Renesmee could put her thoughts into peoples minds. Bella was a “shield” and she shielded her mind from others, Renesmee had an opposite power and was able to project through that shield, no one can her out.
Renesmee is considered to be Edward and Bella's "miracle", because of what it took to keep her and her mother alive through the pregnancy. She has the abilities to show people her thoughts by touching them and presumably break through their mental defenses.
She has no special power, but has a strong ability to love passionately. Esme is described as having caramel-colored hair; she also has a heart-shaped face with dimples, and her figure is slender, but rounded and soft.
Carlisle's gift is an elevated sense of compassion that allows him to resist human blood. He is able to bite (in order to turn them) people without succumbing to the frenzy and killing them.
Breaking Dawn
Edward reads Renesmee's mind. Edward hears inappropriate thoughts from Mike Newton about Bella and discovers Jacob's appearance using mind reading to pick up his mind.
Bella's mind shield is able to block any vampire power that affects her brain. That's why Edward and Aro couldn't read her mind, Jane couldn't make her feel pain (it was only creating the illusion of pain), and Zafrina couldn't make her see visual projections she was able to make everyone else see.
After all, wouldn't manipulating her emotions technically be messing with her mind? Stephanie Meyer tried to answer this question on her website, explaining that unlike the other vampires powers, Jasper's power is actually affecting Bella physically by adjusting her pulse and endorphins to calm her down.
When they phase into a wolf for the first time, they stop aging. There are plenty-a-plot-holes here BUT if Jacob maintains a regularly scheduled shape shift, he can essentially stay young forever. This is a good thing because Renesmee will be Jacob's age physically in a mere few years.
Seeing as she's half vampire, one would think she would age much slower than humans, since vampires can't age at all. However, poor unloved Jacob shouldn't have to wait eighteen years for his happily ever after, so Renesmee grows abnormally fast, and will magically stop aging once she reaches sexual maturity.
Unlike the rest of her vampire family, she is also able to sleep. However, as a half immortal, she will continue to grow until her full maturity at the age of about seven, at which point she will appear to be about seventeen (like her father Edward) and will cease to age (as shown by Nahuel in Breaking Dawn).
Renesmee quickly developed during Bella's pregnancy. A hybrid is conceived by the sexual intercourse between a female human and a male vampire.
Although both Edward and Bella are seen sparkling in the sun, their daughter has not inherited that trait. Renesmee has spent time in the sunlight in Forks, but she has never sparkled like her parents. Thankfully, this will make her life at school much easier as she will not need to avoid the sun.
In Jacob's case, he imprinted on Renesmee — who he affectionately dubbed Nessie — when she was a baby, so no, it doesn't mean he's in love with her. Jacob just has a strong bond to Renesmee and is more of a protector and as she gets older, will be a best friend, someone who's there for her when she needs it.
Breaking Dawn links sex and danger, at least initially. Before Bella becomes a vampire, sex with Edward poses a serious threat to her. Edward is afraid that he'll accidentally kill Bella, and she does indeed wake up covered in bruises after they first have sex. However, Bella doesn't seem to mind.
¦ Even though breakaway glass is used for the salad bowl, Rosalie cuts her finger and bleeds on the glass. This is why she's wearing gloves in the re-shoot.
Either way, we know you've been wondering—how the hell does Edward Cullen get it up? Vampires have blood, which is what's used to fill those erections generally required for sex, in their system only after they've hunted and sucked their victims dry. Everybody knows that.
Edward constantly fears for Bella's safety. Though he is scared when James decides to track Bella, he's most worried about himself hurting Bella. Edward points out how ridiculous it is that Bella is afraid of dancing. When she's not in any real danger, her courage seems to drain away.
Renesmee got married to Jacob and made Lucina her maid of honor. In Have A Purpose, Renesmee reveals that she is pregnant. She gives birth to Evan and Sarah and appointed Lucina as the godmother to her kids.
Renesmee will eventually reach an age of maturity and stop growing, just like Nahuel, but she does have some time of growing left. Vampires are not used to growing, but Renesmee's aging process is much faster than a human's.
Victoria's special ability was enhanced self-preservation, which is how she was able to escape being killed by the Quileute wolves and the Cullens in Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse. This ability was carried over because, as a human, she was a servant mistreated by her abusive masters.
Jasper Hale: able to sense and control emotions. Pathokinesis is Jasper Hale's ability to sense and change the emotions of the those around him. In Life and Death, this power is used by Jessamine Hale, Jasper's female counterpart.
In "Midnight Sun," we learn Rosalie's jealousy runs a bit deeper. According to Edward, she was annoyed years ago when, unlike every other person and vampire, Edward wasn't attracted to her. Rosalie wasn't interested in Edward, but nonetheless, it bothered her that he didn't find her desirable.
