BELLA SWAN
Personality traits and abilities:
Bella is described as being very clumsy and stubborn.
She has a private mind, which is thought to be why Edward is unable to hear her thoughts.
She is also said to be terrible at lying, but occasionally demonstrates good acting ability.
Bella becomes faint at the smell of blood, though this does not bother her once she becomes a vampire.
Stephenie Meyer has stated that Bella’s “tragic flaw” in Eclipse is her lack of self-knowledge.
After being turned into a vampire, she describes having a more clear view of the world.
She is also very self-controlled, being able to run away from the scent of human blood on her first hunting trip.
Bella’s private mind that rejected some vampires’ special abilities while she was human evolved after she became a vampire; her ability strengthened into allowing her to shield herself and those around her from the mental powers of some other vampires.
By the end of Breaking Dawn, she can cast the shield away from herself.
She is also described by Edward as “very graceful”, even for a vampire, in comparison to her earlier clumsiness.
EDWARD CULLEN
Edward, like all vampires in the twilight series, possesses superhuman strength, speed, endurance, and agility, and is described as being inhumanly beautiful.
His scent and voice are enormously seductive to Bella, so much so that he occasionally sends her into a pliant daze entirely by accident.
In Twilight, Edward explains that like other vampires, he does not need to breathe, though he chooses to do so out of habit and because it is helpful to smell his environment.
He cannot digest regular food, and compares its attractiveness for him to the prospect of eating dirt for a regular person. As well, like other vampires, Edward is not able to sleep.
In addition to the traits he shares with his fellow vampires, Edward has certain abilities that are his alone. He is the fastest of the Cullens, able to outrun any of them. Perhaps as a result of a talent for empathy in his human life, Edward can also read the mind of anyone within a few miles of himself; Bella is the sole exception to this rule, which Meyer has stated is due to Bella having a very private mind.
Edward also retains some of the traditional mindset and dated patterns of speech from his early-20th century human life.
Edward is musical, able to play the piano like a virtuoso. He enjoys a wide range of music, including classical, jazz, progressive metal, alternative rock, and punk rock, but dislikes country. He prefers indie rock to mainstream, and appreciates rock and classical music equally. He mentions in Twilight that he likes music from the fifties better than the sixties, dislikes the seventies, and says the eighties were “bearable”.
A hobby of Edward’s is collecting cars. He owns a Volvo S60 R and an Aston Martin V12 Vanquish as a “special occasion” car. He also gave his sister Alice a Porsche 911 Turbo as a gift in Eclipse. He bought a motorcycle to ride alongside Bella, but gave it to Jasper after he realized that riding motorcycles was a hobby she enjoyed sharing with Jacob.
