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.
Bella's gift is her very powerful shield – one that has been growing and working without her knowing since she was born. Because of her shield, she is protected from powers of the mind – that means that Edward (and Aro) can't read her thoughts, Kate can't shock her, and Jane can't cause her pain.
In New Moon, the Cullens throw an 18th birthday party for Bella. In the movie adaptation, Jasper uses his empathic power to alter Bella's mood to make her feel comfortable enough to attend her birthday party.
Breaking Dawn
Edward's theory of Renesmee's ability to penetrate Bella's shield. Renesmee proves to be the first being with a psychic power strong enough to pass through Bella's mental shield when she shows Bella her first memory she has of her—as a human.
Edwards power affects the mind, Jasper affects the body. He physically makes you more relaxed or excited or whatever he wants. Bella is a shield which means she is unaffected by any mental powers like mind reading or Jane's pain powers.
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.
As a human, Bella possessed a natural immunity to the mental powers of vampires. After her transformation into a vampire, she develops it into the ability to project a mental shield that protects others from the psychic powers of other vampires. Her Life and Death counterpart is Beau Swan.
Esme Cullen Has No Particular Gift
Esme Cullen was born in 1895, then Carlisle changed her into a vampire in 1921, when she was 26 years old. She has no special gifts.
So, the reason for Edward biting Bella is to turn her into a vampire.
How can Alice see Bella's future in the Twilight books? Because she's psychic and has an eno connection to Bella which makes it easier for her to view her future.
The venom, Stephenie writes, is what helps Edward impregnate Bella in the fictional book. According to Stephenie, the normal reactions of arousal are still present in vampires, made possible by venom-related fluids that cause tissues to react similarly as they do to an influx of blood.
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.

Why Bella's Blood Is So Special In Twilight. In the Twilight books, it's explained that every vampire has a “cantante” or “singer,” a term used by the Volturi to describe humans whose blood is especially appealing to a certain vampire, almost in an extreme way, as if it was “singing” for the vampire.
Edward had a theory that Bella's overwhelmingly appealing blood may be derived from a mixture of her parents'—Renée's being far too sweet and Charlie's being moderate—together, giving her blood a more powerful appeal. The blood of singers is described by Edward as being said vampire's "own personal brand of heroin".
Charlie Swan (Human)
Even without sharing any of the vampire, or shape-shifter, abilities, Charlie Swan comes in on our list of major characters because he is one of the most important ones in the franchise. But since he is only a human, he is the weakest, by far.
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.
Rosalie Hale was born in 1915 and was changed by Carlisle when she was 18. She has enhanced beauty beyond that of a typical vampire, and, like her husband, Emmett, her gift is only a slight boost over others of her kind.
¦ 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.
Renesmee is special, because she is not an Immortal Child, or a child that was bitten by a vampire. Instead, Renesmee is born biologically.
Carlisle discovered a group of real vampires living in the sewers of London and led an attack against them, but he was bitten and left for dead. According to Carlisle's backstory, he hid for three days while his body was transformed into a vampire.
Esme regained consciousness in excruciating pain, but she was happy to see Carlisle again. In order to save her life, Carlisle decided to change her into a vampire.
Rosalie falls into this category as her power is beauty: she was “angelically beautiful” as a human, and her transformation enhanced her beauty, making her many times more beautiful than most vampires, to the point where she's labeled as the “most beautiful person in the world”.
Emmett has no supernatural talents, but his physical strength as a human was magnified when he became a vampire, which makes him much stronger than the regular vampire. In combat, he relies on strength and would fight so fiercely that others view him as a very intimidating opponent.
