After Bella is changed into a vampire by Edward, she becomes extremely beautiful with even paler skin, straight waist-length hair, and crimson red eyes that will eventually turn gold after months of drinking animal blood. Her features are also heightened and perfected by the transformation.
Bella is described as having a very pale complexion with long, straight, dark brown hair, a widow's peak, unique chocolate brown eyes and a heart-shaped face with a wide forehead. Her eyes are large and widely spaced. Her nose is thin and her cheekbones are prominent.
The main character of the saga, Bella Swan, is described in the books as a lonely young woman with no taste for fashion. Still, she is said to be attractive, but in a rather strange, mysterious way. Her hair is straight and sleek, her eyes are widely spaced apart, and her lips are too thick for her thin jawline.
EDWARD WAS INITIALLY DRAWN TO BELLA'S SCENT
He eventually found Bella to be beautiful and became attracted to her personality as well, but if Bella didn't have such aromatic blood coursing through her veins, Edward may not have desired her so strongly.
Bella suffers from a classic case of clinical depression, triggered when Edward leaves her in the woods.
In the world of Twilight, vampire women are unable to get pregnant because their body can not change to hold a fetus. But men are apparently able to get human women pregnant.
At the end of Eclipse, she becomes engaged to Edward Cullen, and they marry in Breaking Dawn, one month prior to her 19th birthday. On their honeymoon, she becomes pregnant, and, due to the peculiar nature of her baby, Bella nearly dies giving birth to their daughter, Renesmee.
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.
“The relationship between Bella and Edward is 100 percent toxic, unhealthy and abusive,” says Rachel Wright, a New York-based licensed psychotherapist and relationship coach. “The Twilight movies promote the idea that women are better when they are dull and submissive.
Twilight takes grown women back to those feelings — of wanting someone so badly and being wanted by him, of feeling cared for and protected, and loved. According to Darlene, women who didn't have those experiences can't fully relate in the same way to Edward and Bella's story.
Rosalie is described as being the "most beautiful person in the world", as she is astoundingly gorgeous, even for a vampire. This is due to her natural beauty as a human.
Bella suffered from rapid weight loss, which made her look incredibly ill. To achieve this look without Kristen Stewart going on a Christian Bale-style The Machinist diet, special effects experts used a combination of prosthetics and post-production CGI.
Over 5,000 actors reportedly went out for the role of Edward Cullen, including Dave Franco, Jamie Campbell Bower (who would go on to play Caius in the follow-up films), Schitt's Creek's Dustin Milligan and Michael Welch (who landed the role of human Michael Newton).
Bella's arm has a bite-mark scar from the first movie.
James, the tracker vampire that hunts her in the first movie, bites Bella on her right arm during the big fight scene. Edward stops the venom from turning her into a vampire, but the bite still scars Bella.
He is not attracted to her in the romantic sense because of the smell of her blood. In fact, he hates her for it when he first meets her. He experiences a predatory type of bloodlust. He's a vampire and the smell of her blood makes him want to kill her for food.
He fell in love with her because she was different than the rest of the girls. She was a mystery to him, he couldn't hear her thoughts like he could every one else. She was also unique in the way she thought and acted. She wasn't simple, her thougths didn't follow the norm of a school girl.
On Tuesday, Us Weekly revealed photographs of Stewart passionately kissing Rupert Sanders, the director of her latest film, Snow White and the Huntsman. Sanders, at 41, is nearly twice the age of the 22-year-old Stewart, and what's worse, he's married with two young children.
Science has failed us. Who could have guessed, in an analysis of the hotness of a vampire and a werewolf? Thus we rely on the experts in the field (here defined as posters on the various message boards, blogs and the like). A casual survey reveals a majority finding that Edward is prettier but Jacob is brawnier.
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.
But Edward's longing for Bella is painfully chaste. It takes until page 230 for him to even consider kissing her, and then until page 378 to do the deed.
Bella gets pregnant after one night of passionate sex with her husband Edward the vampire, sex that leads to the destruction of their idyllic honeymoon suite.
Edward appears so awkward during his first real encounter with Bella because he's barely breathing and because the movie left out a subtle interaction between the two. When Edward finally introduces himself to Bella in class it's one of the cringiest interactions of the entire film.
Bella falls in love with Jacob in New Moon. I think it's easy to understand why this fact doesn't occur to her. Bella has only fallen in love one time, and it was a very sudden, dramatic, sweep-you-off-your-feet, change-your-world, magical, passionate, all-consuming thing (see: Twilight).
In a short amount of months, Renesmee matures at an exceptionally fast pace, both mentally and physically, learning to form full sentences only one week after her birth and learning to walk after three.
She looks at the raw flesh, runs to the toilet and violently throws up (we hear the sound her vomiting and see a brief image of vomit leaving her mouth). To feed her unborn baby, Bella drinks several cups of blood using a straw. Her mouth and teeth are stained with blood.
