Bella Swan

Bella Swan is the main character of the Twilight series. She is the one who is narrating all of the books, so we get to read her thoughts, her feelings, and her desires and wishes. She is described as a normal girl with nothing really special about her except for the fact that she is extremely clumsy, and danger seems to follow her wherever she goes. Her parents got divorced when she was very young. She lived with her mom in Phoenix, Arizona, but she would visit her dad in Forks, Washington every summer. She decided to go live with her dad permanently, and this was probably the best decision she would ever make.

Bella is a lot like her dad, Charlie. Charlie isn't one of those people who hovers and has to fill the silence with silly chatter. He doesn't talk about his feelings very much either. At first, Bella doesn't like coming to live in Forks because it is always raining and because everyone at school is trying to get to know her. She isn't really too excited about the fact that boys she isn't interested in are already competing for her.

She feels kind of awkward in this new environment. That is, until she sees the Cullen clan one day at school. She asked her friend Jessica who they were, and Jessica told her that they were the most secluded, crazily gorgeous group of kids at the school. They were all graceful and almost unhuman in their looks. Bella quickly became interested in the "youngest" of the clan, Edward Cullen.

Bella was happy to see that Edward was in her biology class until she relized that he must hate her. He would not stop glaring at her, and he was clenching his fists in a manner that told her he could not stand to be around her. In all reality, Edward, a vampire, was in fact doing all of this because her blood was the most delicious blood that he had ever smelled in his entire life, and he wanted nothing more than to kill her and get a taste. He held back though, and in time it got easier to be around Bella and talk to her and get to know her.

After spending quite some time together, it was known that Bella and Edward were boyfriend/girlfriend. They were pretty much inseperable, and the rest of the school was in awe about the relationship. Bella knew what Edward and his family were, and she didn't care. She was able to keep it a secret because she was in love with Edward, as he was in love with her. I am going to stop here with details about their relationship because i am going to write about it later in another post!
