Early Life

Isabella Marie Swan was born on September 13, 1987, to Renée and Charlie Swan and the twin sister of Beau Swan, adoptive sister-in-law and adoptive half-aunt-in-law of Edythe Swan, aunt and adoptive half-grandaunt of River Swan, adoptive aunt and adoptive half-grandaunt of Tyler Swan, a young couple living in the small town of Forks, WA. Her parents divorced when she and her twin brother was only three months old. Renée took Bella with her to Downey, CA, to live with her difficult grandmother and Charlie took Beau to live with him in Forks, WA, to live in a difficult town of Forks, WA, before moving to Riverside after her mother got her education degree and landed a job as a kindergarten teacher at a local school, while Beau was living with Charlie. When Bella was six years old, they moved to Phoenix, AR. During most of her childhood, she would visit her father in Forks, WA, while her twin brother would visit their mother at the same age... for one month every summer, and got acquainted with Rachel, Rebecca and Jacob Black, the children of Charlie's best friend, Billy Black, though they never became real friends. Bella found the climate in Forks, WA unpleasant, though, and from 2002 onward, Charlie vacationed with her in California instead. She briefly took ballet and piano lessons, but quit them after some time because she found them too difficult. While Bella was doing the things she liked, Beau would often do the things he like to do with their mother. Bella never fit in with her peers in California or Arizona. She had always had the feeling of being a little out of sync with everyone—including her mother, who was her best friend, which Beau did the same thing too ass well. While her mother was impractical, absentminded and liked to shift from one interest to the next, Bella grew up as the more responsible and independent individual. At an early age, she took over most of the household responsibilities. Sometimes, she would feel like she was the adult and Renée was the child. During free time, she preferred to sit home and read, in part because she was extraordinarily clumsy. Her naturally responsible nature carried over into her schoolwork, where Bella was generally a straight-A student. Her plan for the future was to get a degree in education and teach, like her mother. Renee's career was the one thing that Bella truly respected. However, she intended to teach at the high school level. When Bella noticed that Renée felt lonely due to the lack of romance in her life, she encouraged her mother to go on more dates. Eventually, Renée fell in love with and married a minor league baseball player named Phil Dwyer. Bella wasn't entirely fond of the idea, but nevertheless offered her blessing. They married in the same month that Bella turned 17. While Phil traveled around for his job, Renée stayed home with Bella; however, Bella, noticing her mother's unhappiness with this arrangement, chose to move in with her father in Forks so Renée could go on the road with Phil during baseball season, leading to the beginning of Twilight.

Twilight

At the beginning of Twilight, Bella moves back to her birth town of Forks, WA, to live with her father, Charlie Swan, to let her mother, Renée Dwyer, travel with her new husband, Phil (while her twin brother enjoys his life as a vampire). She enrolls at Forks High School in the middle of her junior year. She does not notice the physical attraction she holds for the male students at the school, and makes a few new friends, including Jessica Stanley, Angela Weber and Mike Newton, the latter of whom she later discovers is very interested in her. The one group of people at Forks High School that truly intrigues Bella are the Cullens, a mysterious family consisting of five adopted children. Edward Cullen, in particular, captures her attention, along with his adopted siblings, namely: Alice, a petite girl with black, pixie-cut hair, who has the ability to see the future; Jasper, her husband, who has the hardest time in the family abstaining from human blood; Emmett, a broad, extremely muscular vampire; finally, Rosalie, his wife, who is a beautiful, self-absorbed woman. Due to Bella's uncanny ability to attract accidents, Edward finds himself often protecting her from various unlikely calamities, and finds himself growing extremely protective of her—to the point where even he admits he sometimes goes too far. When Tyler Crowley's car almost hits Bella, Edward knocks her out of the way and shields her from the collision. Bella realizes that it would have been physically impossible for an ordinary human being to cross the distance to her in time—as Edward was four cars away from her a split-second before the truck would have crushed her—or hold back, much less push away, a pick-up truck with his bare hands. She confronts him in the hospital, but he dismisses her accusations in an unsuccessful attempt to throw her off the scent, instead leaving her more suspicious than ever. During a trip down to La Push with her classmates, Bella encounters a family friend, Jacob Black, who informs her that the Cullens are supposedly vampires according to his tribe's legend. However, they are different from other vampires in that they are "vegetarians", meaning they drink the blood of animals rather than of humans. Later, Edward rescues Bella from a gang of men in Port Angeles. During and after dinner, she and Edward converse about his abilities, namely his ability to read minds and her immunity to it. She also tells him about her theories on his true nature in an attempt to get him to divulge more information about himself. He merely finds these amusing, though he does all but admit to his mind-reading abilities and her immunity to them. Edward and Bella get to know each other better, and he reveals that he has great difficulty being near her due to the unusually appetizing smell of her blood; he must constantly control his thirst, lest his vampiric instincts take over and drive him to slaughter her. Despite his desire for her blood, Edward and Bella fall passionately in love. Edward introduces her to his family, and soon after she is invited to watch their baseball game. During the game, danger reveals itself in the form of a visiting vampire coven consisting of Laurent, Victoria, and James. Victoria's mate, James, is a sadistic tracker vampire who has set his sights on killing Bella for sports; he was fascinated by Edward's protectiveness of a human. He tricks her into coming to her old ballet studio with the sound of her mother's voice, where he bites her wrist and almost transforms her into a vampire. But the Cullen family rush to Bella's aid and Edward manages to drain the venom out of her system before it was too late. They destroy James, though the other vampires of his coven, Victoria and Laurent, run and survive. Bella spends time in a hospital with Edward constantly by her side, where he admits that his sister Alice saw a vision of Bella becoming a vampire. However, he is determined to keep her human, despite her own will to become a vampire. The reasons behind his intentions are revealed in New Moon. Two months after James's demise, Edward takes Bella to their high school prom, despite her broken leg and angry protests. Tyler also tries to pick her up at her house, but Edward tells him that she is unavailable as far as everyone but he is concerned. There are high levels of tension as he turns to action, caused by Edward and Bella's differences of opinion about her becoming a vampire. Bella is determined to be with Edward forever, but at the age of 17. Edward wants her to have a normal human life, in other words saying that he will love her on any condition, mortal or not.[1][2] In the end, they put their arguments aside to enjoy the evening, but Bella knows the conversation is not over.

Midnight Sun

After Edward and Bella begin dating, she tells him everything he wants to know about her, such as favorite color, books, or movies. On one occasion, Bella tells Edward her plan about teaching in high school, something inspired by her mother's profession in kindergarten. While Bella is unconscious after James's attack, Edward meets her mother and notices two things: her blood smells sweeter than most; and she has a subtle gift for drawing people to her aid. He surmises it to be partially what made Bella into the responsible and mature person that she is.

New Moon

The events of New Moon begin on Bella's 18th birthday. Bella is especially upset because it is the day that she becomes older, physically, than Edward, who will always be 17. It doesn't help that she also has a nightmare, where she is with who she believes to be her Grandma Marie, but who turns out to be herself. Edward comes to her side in the dream and is just as young and flawless as always. Edward persuades her to come to his house on the evening of her birthday for a party thrown by his sister, Alice. Bella receives a paper cut while opening one of her gifts, drawing a single drop of blood and causing Edward's brother, Jasper, to try to attack her. Edward, in the process of defending Bella from Jasper, throws her into a table filled with crystal, which results in Bella getting a deep cut from her wrist to her elbow. Although Bella's injuries are not life-threatening, Edward decides that she would be safer without him, his family, and his dangerous lifestyle, so he deceives Bella into thinking that he does not love her any longer and leaves Forks with his family. She tries to find him in the woods, but he was already gone. That night, Sam Uley tracks her down and takes her home. However, when she returns to her room, she realizes that she has nothing that reminds her of Edward and sinks into deep depression. One week after Edward's departure, her parents decide it would be better for her to move to Jacksonville to live with her mother. But when they pack, she throws tantrums at them, expressing her anger and pain for the first time since they left. After that, she tried to act as normal as possible to keep her parents from moving her away from Forks, but her depression doesn't relent, which worries her parents. Four months later, her father Charlie threatens to send her to Jacksonville because he is worried about her behavior. To appease her father, she tries to engage in normal, teenage-like behavior. She invites her friend Jessica to go to Port Angeles with her for dinner and a movie. While there, she carelessly approaches four men standing outside a bar. This results in her hearing Edward's voice inside her head, warning her to turn around. Bella soon realizes that whenever she puts herself in a dangerous situation, she can hear Edward's voice with perfect clarity. With this discovery in mind, Bella seeks out Jacob and convinces him to fix two broken motorcycles for her and teach her how to ride. Jacob and Bella become friends, when suddenly Jacob refuses to answer any of her calls and asks her not to come to his house anymore. It is not until two weeks later that Bella learns what had happened to her friend: he has become a werewolf and is avoiding Bella for her own safety. She also learns from Laurent that Victoria has returned to kill her, out of revenge for Edward killing Victoria's mate, James, in Twilight. Bella and Jacob reconcile, and she assists his werewolf pack in hunting down Victoria with information. To hear Edward's voice again, Bella attempts cliff-diving and nearly drowns. When Alice, who has the power to see the future, sees Bella jump, she believes Bella has committed suicide and subsequently returns to Forks. Edward, isolated from his family by his own volition, is told by Rosalie, his other adopted sister, that Bella is dead. Alice finds Bella and tells her that Edward is going to Volterra to ask the Volturi to kill him, because he believes Bella is dead. Bella and Alice quickly pursue Edward to Italy, and stop him from being killed, even though Jacob protested to this decision. Afterwards they are brought to speak with the Volturi, where the leader Aro tests her immunity to psychic powers by trying to read her mind and then tell Jane to try her power, neither proves to affect her. She is then offered a place within the Volturi, along with Edward and Alice, but none of them accept the offer. When the Volturi leaders find Bella a liability due to her knowledge of vampires, the Cullens make a promise to change her into a vampire so that they can be let free. Back in Forks, Edward explains why he had to leave and begs her forgiveness. He confesses his true feelings and promises to never leave her again. She forgives him, and they continue their relationship as if Edward never left. When Edward once again refuses to transform Bella into a vampire, she decides to let his family decide whether she should be changed and thus join their family. All except Edward and Rosalie vote affirmatively for her to be changed. Although initially outraged by his family's decision, Edward later agrees to change her himself if she agrees to marry him first. Later, Jacob meets with Edward and Bella to remind Edward and his family of the treaty made between the Cullens and the La Push werewolves, which states that no Cullen may bite a human. Bella is thus left in a difficult position: if she does not become a vampire, the Volturi will come to kill her. However, if the Cullens do make her into a vampire, they will have broken their treaty with the La Push werewolves, which would start a war with the Cullens. To make her father ground her, he turns in her motorcycle.[2]

Eclipse

Eclipse serves as a rite of passage for Bella's maturity as her days of humanity are coming to an end. She is forced to fully realize the outcomes and consequences of her decision, as well as her options and desires before becoming an immortal. The story begins with Bella reading a letter from Jacob that says that they can't be friends anymore. She is upset about this, but her mood greatly improves when Edward comes to visit her. While she is still grounded by her father, Edward is allowed into the house until nine o'clock. He continuously tries to convince Bella to fill out more application forms for Dartmouth after getting accepted to the University of Alaska, but Bella thinks that college is pointless since she will become a vampire soon anyway. Edward then sees an article in the newspaper about a series of mysterious killings in Seattle and explains to Bella that these killings are most likely caused by a newborn; a recently turned vampire who is unable to control its thirst. Bella tries to make things right with Jacob, to which Edward strongly objects, stating that werewolves are unstable and that they could hurt her. Later on that day in school, Bella witnesses Alice having a vision: Victoria is coming back to Forks to hunt her. Edward denies what he saw and talks Bella into leaving town to visit her mom for the weekend, saying that it might be her last chance to see her before she graduates. When she returns, Jacob confronts Edward and Bella finds out that Victoria is back. Ultimately, Edward must go hunting and leave Bella alone. For fear of Bella putting herself in danger, he bribes Alice with a yellow 911 Porsche Turbo to watch over Bella while he's gone and keep her away from Jacob. Bella is furious at Edward's presumption and manages to slip away to see Jacob. While staying at the Cullens' house, Rosalie tries to convince her to stay human by telling her human background story. Edward returns early for the weekend. He is not upset that Bella ran away, and realizes that he has been overprotective. Bella thanks Edward, and he begins occasionally taking her to the La Push line for regular visits with Jacob. During one of the visits, Jacob admits that he is in love with Bella and forcefully kisses her. Bella is furious and punches him in the face, succeeding only in breaking her hand. Edward later threatens to break Jacob's jaw for Bella if he ever kisses her without her permission again. She later finds out that the killings in Seattle is caused not just by newborns, but an entire army of them. Jasper presents his past and experience with newborns. They suspect that the army is directed toward them, but decide to play it by "ear". Meanwhile, Bella still has her heart set on joining Edward and his family as a vampire. But, after little consideration, she decides that there is one thing she would like to do while still human: she wants to make love with Edward. Edward immediately refuses this demand, explaining that although he wants her as much as she wants him, he could easily kill her if he lost control. Bella insists that he would never allow himself to let that happen. Eventually, Edward agrees to try, but she must marry him first. Bella reluctantly agrees and becomes Edward's fiancée. Moments before Bella's graduation, she realizes that the army of newborn vampires are under the control of Victoria and therefore will be coming after her. Having no other allies since the Denali coven refused to get involved in the fight, the Cullens and the La Push wolf pack join forces to battle Victoria and her army in order to protect Forks and Bella. Before the battle, Jacob overhears Bella and Edward discussing their engagement and becomes very upset. He tells Bella that he will go in battle with the intentions of dying because she won't love him back. Bella asks him to kiss her so he will think she loves him back, but as she kisses him, she realizes that she does love Jacob after all. She feels terrible after doing so, but Edward isn't angry. Despite realizing her feelings for Jacob, Bella knows that those feelings could never compare to the intense love she has for Edward. Soon after this, Victoria and Riley, another vampire, find their hiding spot. With Edward outnumbered, it at first looks like Victoria will be successful in killing Bella. But Seth, a young werewolf, arrives to assist them. Seth kills Riley, and Edward beheads Victoria seconds later. After a brief confrontation with several Volturi soldiers, Bella goes to visit Jacob, who was wounded in the battle. She tells him that, while she does love him, she has chosen Edward. Jacob reluctantly agrees to stop trying to come between Edward and her, and assures her that he'll be there if she ever needs him. Later that night, Bella cries about having to reject Jacob, while Edward comforts her through the night. She vows that she'll never let Edward see her shed a tear for Jacob again. Bella realizes that she needs to take responsibilities for the choices that she has made, to properly say goodbye to her friends and family and tie herself to Edward in every human way, and later allows Alice to plan the wedding, with few limitations and makes her maid-of-honor. Bella and Edward then go to their meadow, and they agree to tell Charlie about their engagement.[3]

The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner

In The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, Riley stole Bella's red blouse and brought it to the newborns while telling them about the Cullens, saying that they are out to get them to reclaim Seattle to themselves and that Bella is kept as their "pet". The shirt gave Bella's scent to the newborns, which Bree Tanner described as the sweetest scent she'd ever smelled. Bella appears at the end of the novella, when Edward brings her into the battlefield after the battle was over. She spots the surrendered newborn, Bree, who believed Bella was a vampire until her face is revealed. Although she is tempted by Bella's blood, Carlisle manages to talk her into composing herself. Bella observes the newborn's frantic, blood-craving expression and begins to realize what problems she may have to face after becoming a vampire. She mostly stays in the background while observing the Volturi's interrogation on the Cullens and Bree. Jane tries to inflict her power on her, again to no avail. She then expresses Caius's interest to hear that she is still human, but Alice counters by saying that the date is set.

Breaking Dawn (part 1 and 2)

In the first chapter of Breaking Dawn, it is revealed that Bella and Edward have told both of her parents about their engagement and both given their blessing, though Charlie is still slightly resistant to the thought of their marriage. Alice is busy making preparations for the wedding, which is only one day away. Meanwhile, Edward has bought her a Mercedes Guardian, which she sees as either a sign of compassion and caring or as over-protectiveness and worry about her safety. This car is for temporary use until she is changed into a vampire, when she will not need the protection, and then he will replace it with a red Ferrari. Meanwhile, Bella feels guilty about Jacob, believing that her rejection caused him to run away. The wedding goes smoothly, and Bella meets the Denali coven for the first time. Jacob arrives at the party despite her rejection of him, and Bella is very relieved that Jacob has decided to come after all. However, he gets into an argument with Bella about her wanting to make love with Edward while she is still human. Luckily, only the werewolves and the Cullens hear the argument. Edward and Bella leave for their honeymoon to Isle Esme, where they consummate their marriage. Edward is horrified when he sees that he bruised Bella while doing so. He vows not to make love with her again until she has been turned, but Bella succeeds in getting him to do so. Bella later notices that she is getting unusual illnesses and changes of appetite, but does not make anything of it. After seeing a bag of unused tampons, she realizes that she is pregnant with a half-human half-vampire offspring. Edward immediately takes her back to Forks where he and Carlisle can abort the baby, but Bella asks Rosalie to protect her: she has already come to love the child. Her baby develops at an extremely fast rate, and she becomes very sick. She becomes unable to adjust food, and is dying slowly. Edward asks Jacob to try to convince her to kill the baby that was killing her, but Bella refuses, because she loves it. Through Jacob's joking, Edward then suggests for Bella to drink donated human blood, and she quickly becomes stronger, but it also makes the baby so strong that it breaks her ribs by accident. Soon after, Edward realizes that he can hear the baby's thoughts now that it has developed enough of its brain, and starts to love the baby when he hears that it "absolutely adores Bella." Jacob remarks that Edward could never hate anyone who loved Bella, which is why Edward did not hate him. Also, after going against Sam's orders to kill Bella and her baby, Jacob forms his own pack with Leah and Seth Clearwater to protect her and the Cullens. After having a typical Bella moment, which includes dropping a cup full of blood, the hardened placenta detaches, and Edward, Rosalie, and Jacob are forced to perform an emergency surgery since Carlisle is hunting with Esme. Bella's body is nearly destroyed in the process—with several ribs broken, she loses vast amounts of blood, and her spinal cord is snapped. Seeing the baby is a girl, Bella names her "Renesmee" right before her heart stops beating. Edward then injects her heart with his own venom and bites her body in several places, effectively initiating Bella's transformation into a vampire. Jacob goes to kill Renesmee since he believes she killed Bella, but when he looks her in the eyes, he imprints on her instead. Bella experiences the full agony of transformation—the feeling of being burned alive, which she comments that James snapping her leg couldn't come close to this. An injection of Morphine causes paralysis that makes her feel like she's trapped in her own body. Eventually, Bella copes with the pain and starts to ignore it. The morphine paralysis eventually wears off, but she remains completely still throughout the process to keep from hurting Edward's feelings. Near the end of the three days she feels her heart being destroyed and her life flashes before her. She feels her heart beat for one last time and thud. She opens her eyes and was amazed by her new senses. She claims that she can notice how everything is different now that she is a newborn: Her senses are improved by great lengths. She explains her new eyesight, laying her new eyes first on a light on the ceiling, claiming to see an "eighth" color emanating from it—UV light. Shortly after her creation, Edward takes her out on her first hunt. She jumps out of the window very gracefully, impressing Edward, kicks off her shoes and runs barefoot through the forest. She proves to have incredible self control when she runs away from the scent of human blood, something newborns aren't supposed to be able to do. After she is full, they return to meet Renesmee. Even more so, she is amazed by the passionate touches of Edward now that he no longer has to worry about hurting her. While everyone is worried about her thirst, she manages to retain complete control and hugs her daughter. Bella later finds out Jacob imprinted on Renesmee, which makes her very angry; she calms down quickly, but not before trying to kill Jacob after also finding out that he had nicknamed her daughter "Nessie", after the Loch Ness Monster. Later, Jacob, aware that the Cullens are planning to move away, phases into his wolf form in front of Charlie (he thought Charlie was the reason they were leaving). Charlie is shocked to discover Bella has known about the mythical world for years, and tells her to tell him only what is absolutely necessary for him to know. This allows Bella to keep her father in her new life without putting him in danger. Bella adjusts to her new life extremely well, going as far as to think she was destined to be a vampire. Months later, Bella is hunting with Jacob and Renesmee in the forest when a vampire, Irina, sees her daughter and mistakes her for an immortal child, whose creation is a heinous crime of the vampire world. When Alice learns that the Volturi and their entire guard are coming to destroy the Cullens, she flees with Jasper on a secret mission and leaves clues for Bella to find J. Jenks to forge passports and IDs for Renesmee and Jacob if they fail to stop the Volturi. The Cullens look for other vampires to be witnesses, including nomads and other covens, such as the Irish and the Amazon covens. In the meantime, Bella finds out that she possesses the power to shield herself from the psychic abilities of other vampires. Kate from the Denali and Zafrina from the Amazon teach Bella to project said power so she could protect others from the Volturi's gifted guards. When the Volturi arrive at the end of December, the Cullens and their allies manage to convince them that Renesmee really is half-human, but Aro, dead-set on claiming the gifts of the Cullens and some of their friends, plots every possible justification to kill Renesmee. When Edward faces Aro alone, Bella's anger triggers her shield with absolute control, allowing her to shield everyone in her surrounding. Before the Volturi could declare a battle, Alice and Jasper arrive with vampires Kachiri and Huilen and half-vampire Nahuel (which Alice who was secretly in love with) to prove that Renesmee's existence is safe to the vampire world. The Volturi have no more plots to start a war with the Cullens, and, with the help of the werewolves, Alice's research, and Bella's gift, retreat to Volterra, though Irina pays for her mistake with her life. After the confrontation resolved, Bella and Edward embrace Renesmee with their arms. Bella's concern for Renesmee's future and the other future before that is also put to rest when she learns that her daughter will cease to age at seven, where she will remain young and healthy for at least 150 years. At the end of the series, Bella drops her shield to let Edward to read her mind for the first time, showing him how much she really loves him. The happily ever after begins here.

A New Life

Eight years later in A New Life, Bella meets Lucas Cullen who was brought into his home by Renesmee after he was attacked by a grizzly bear for Carlisle to aid him. After hearing about how Lucas lost his family and has nowhere to go, the Cullens allows him to stay at their place. When Lucas went to bed, everyone including Jacob notice that Edward, Alice and Jasper weren't able to use their gifts on Lucas, everyone was uncertain if he's considered a threat but Carlisle decides that until they learn more about Lucas, they welcome him with open arms. After Bella got to know Lucas, she along with the Cullens and Jacob agrees that Lucas pose no threat and decided to allow him to become part of the family. The next day however while everyone was setting up a surprise welcome party for Lucas, Lucas was hit by a car after he pushed Renesmee out of harm and by the time she and Jacob hurriedly brought Lucas to Carlisle, he was reported 'dead' until Edward somehow heard Lucas' heartbeat but barely which made Jacob give permission to change Lucas. Three days later, Lucas wakes up from his transformation and joins the coven after being told about the world he lives in. After his transformation, Bella takes Lucas to meet her father Charlie. It turns out that the two know each other due to Charlie being best friends with Lucas’s father Kendall Stone. In the middle of August, Renesmee was missing. The Cullens were trying to figure out what happened to her until Lucas saw people, despite being invisible because Lucas saw their auras, attempting to kill the Cullens and warned Edward warning everyone else as they survived and caught May and Niall who are siblings and work with the Volturi revealing that Aro has Renesmee and ordered the two to destroyed the Cullens. The Cullens and Jacob arrived to Volterra to save Renesmee only to see that she's 'states' that she wanted to join the Volturi. However thanks to Lucas, he was able to rescue Renesmee seeing that she was hypnotized by May and Niall’s sister Olivia. However, Aro refused to let the Cullens walk away and soon everyone minus Lucas was restrained by the guards.  Edward soon found out that the Volturi were the ones that caused the death of Lucas's family causing Lucas to go on a rage taking down every guard and member in his way until he reached Aro. Carlisle and Renesmee stopped Lucas just in time and Aro reluctantly allowed the Cullens and Jacob to leave until Lucas's rage came back causing him to mysteriously go unconscious when vampires couldn't. After they returned to Forks, Lucas left the Cullens without giving any info since his aura blocks Edward and Alice's gifts except saying that he 'had to take care of something.' Fearing that he might be going back to the Volturi, everyone tried to convince Lucas to stay but he refused and left without another word. A week later, Lucas returned to Forks and explained that he went back to Lacey to see his friends before they go to college and visited his family's grave. Bella, as well as the rest of the family, allows Lucas into the family without the need for permission.

The Other Half & A Reason To Smile

Bella and her family sees that Lucas is depressed and the reason for that is because he is the only one who hasn’t found a mate. Bella goes to school with Lucas and her family where she sees that Lucas is in love with a girl Krystal Cullen. As Lucas and Krystal became friends, Bella hears from Lucas' phone call with Alice and they along with Edward and Rosalie rushed to the girl’s bathroom seeing Krystal being beaten by Miley Ray and her friends which led to Lucas and Krystal confessing their feelings to each other. One night, Bella was with Edward tucking Renesmee into bed when they were told Lucas isn’t home. That’s when Bella understood Edward’s hunch that Lucas went to Krystal’s house to watch her sleep and their suspicions were confirmed when Lucas came home. There, Lucas asks Edward and Bella for advice on their relationship when Bella was human. Bella goes with Lucas along with Edward, Renesmee and Jacob to watch Krystal at her volleyball game. Bella gave Lucas some confidence to ask Krystal out on a date. When Lucas asked her out, Bella was disappointed both how Lucas handled it in the end and at Edward and Jacob’s reactions. On Lucas and Krystal’s first date, Krystal finds out about the supernatural after witnessing Lucas feeding off a deer. The Cullens then hear that Krystal’s father Roark Diamond was killed which turns out to be a vampire. Soon they see that someone is after Krystal and they move Krystal into their home after talking to the principal to allow Carlisle and Esme to be Krystal’s guardian so that she doesn’t move to New York. Weeks later, the Cullens were trying to deal with the disappearances of many residence in Seattle when the Cullens suddenly see themselves on the floor with their place being destroyed and that half an hour has passed adding that Krystal is gone. After failing to find her, the Cullens received a visit from Nahuel (Alice's secret love interest) that his half brother Jonathan, along with Miley, now a vampire by Jonathan, has Krystal. The reason why Jonathan is doing it is because he wants revenge against Lucas for killing Olivia, from the previous story where the Volturi told him leaving out that what Lucas did was unintentional, by killing Krystal so that Lucas will suffer the same way Jonathan has. The Cullens also find out that Miley sent an army of newborn vampires attacking the Cullens and then uses her mental sharp jabbing gift to knock them out even by passing Bella’s shield. Then she finally erases their memories of the events that has happened. The Cullens and Jacob are in Seattle where Jonathan and Miley were spotted. Bella was with Edward where they came in to rescue Jacob and Renesmee when they were attacked by the newborn vampires. They arrived at the abandoned factory with the rest of the Cullens where Lucas found Krystal and Jonathan where Bella helps out Edward, Emmett, Jasper and Jacob ripping Jonathan’s body and burned him. After the Cullens destroyed Jonathan, Lucas changes Krystal into a vampire after she was on the verge of death from being tortured and fell landing on her head. Krystal wakes up from her transformation where she goes out for her first hunt and Krystal became part of the family. A year later after high school graduation, Lucas proposed to Krystal and the Cullens celebrate the occasion.

Happily Ever After

Bella and her family set up the wedding for Lucas and Krystal the day before tomorrow. Bella joins Krystal’s bachelorette party that night. She was present at the ceremony and gives her best wishes to Lucas and Krystal at the reception and watches with everyone to see Lucas and Krystal go away on their honeymoon.

Full of Surprises

The Cullens receives a visit from Tiffany Long, Lucas’ friend, who was brought in by Carlisle after her appointment giving the news that she is pregnant. According to Carlisle, Tiffany is carrying a half human half vampire child and Edward sees in Tiffany’s mind that the father of her child is Joham, Nahuel’s father using human women to create a “super race” of dhampir children. The Cullens told Tiffany about it revealing themselves as vampires as they help her with the pregnancy. While Esme, Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Krystal went out to catch Blake and Christina, Joham’s children who came for Tiffany’s baby, Tiffany went into labor and Bella gave assistance to deliver her baby Lucina Stewart as Lucas changes Tiffany into a vampire afterwards. Soon, an army of newborn vampires came attacking the Cullens while Joham tries to sneak pass them to take Lucina only to be stopped by Lucas and fled empty handed. As Tiffany was going through her transformation, Bella and the family became attached to Lucina. As Lucina grows up rapidly in a month, Bella was explaining to Tiffany, now a vampire, how she still has the bite mark where James bit her when suddenly Tiffany was able to remove it with her gift to heal. After destroying Blake and Christina when they kidnapped Lucina but was caught by Lucas and Krystal, Lucas had an idea that involves Tiffany’s other gift to see through a person’s eyes. The Cullens made Joham take Lucina so that Tiffany can see through Lucina’s eyes to find Joham. They successfully caught Joham and were about to destroy him until the Volturi came who heard about the newborn army being created. When the Volturi left after Lucas' scolding of their duties that made them destroyed Joham, everyone gave their appreciation to Lucas for everything he's done since he joined the family. At the end of the story, the Cullens celebrate Tiffany’s birthday.

Forever Together

In the prequel of A New Life, Bella hears the story about Lucas’ life as a human before he met the Cullens and how they ended up meeting together.

Value in Beliefs

Four years later, Bella and her family including Jacob visited her mother Renée so that Renesmee can finally meet her since Renée is the only family Renesmee hasn’t met yet. After the trip, the Cullens were on a plane home until Benjamin caused a mishap with his gift causing a huge delay in Detroit, MI and with Alice’s visions unable to work, they are lost. While trying to find the airport back to Forks, they meet Zoran’s coven who all want Lucina and Renesmee for their blood. While protecting them, Bella was about to help Edward, Lucas and Jacob who are struggling against Zoran and Virgil but gets caught by Dawn’s hair along with Esme, Rosalie, Alice, Tiffany, Krystal and Carlisle until they were saved by the Detroit coven where Jalen Long got Dawn’s hair to let them all go not before Tiffany already freed herself and took off thinking they are part of Zoran’s coven and tried to distract them. While Jalen went off to find Tiffany, the Cullens and the Detroit coven hide themselves from Steve and Spike who knows about the existence of vampires. After those two were gone and the Cullens asked Mordecai for directions to the airport, Mordecai questions them and insults Renesmee and Lucina causing tension between the two covens and the Cullens left Mordecai and his vampire children. After the coven left to find their way home, Edward explains to them that the reason why Mordecai and the others resents humans because of how they were mistreated before they became vampires due to near death. While finding their way to the airport and looking for Tiffany, the Cullens stumble across a house on fire with two kids inside. Lucas went in to save them with Edward’s assistance and the two rescued them successfully as Bella gave a punch at Edward for scaring her before she gave him a kiss. Lucas’ action has earned the respect from Mordecai and his vampire children as they offered them to stay at their place. When they arrived, they found Tiffany kissing Jalen which causes tension between Jalen and Mordecai making Jalen go outside upset with Tiffany behind him. During that, Steve and Spike showed up and discovered Tiffany when Jalen ran back inside without knowing he left her behind. As the two went after Tiffany, Alice and Ariana Vega developed a plan to make Steve and Spike believe that they were hallucinating the whole time. Bella took part by joining many others posing as ‘back from the dead’ and convinced Steve and Spike believing vampires are myths. After the celebration though, Jalen told Tiffany that what’s going on between them won’t work and Tiffany took off, heartbroken. That night, Tiffany didn’t return and everyone minus Jalen can’t find her and Mordecai urges the Cullens that they have to go now before their flight leaves. The next morning, the Cullens said goodbye to Mordecai after showing the way to the airport. When they were about to go forward, Lucas refuses to go without Tiffany convincing Bella and everyone to go back and find her. However, before they could, they are stopped by Zoran’s coven and like before, Bella gets caught in Dawn’s hair with Esme, Alice, Rosalie, Carlisle and Krystal until Tiffany comes in and saves her family and destroys Zoran’s coven single-handily. After thanking Tiffany for saving her, everyone heads home to Forks. Three days have passed and Tiffany’s still heartbroken from Jalen’s words until Jalen comes to Forks confessing his love to Tiffany and asking to be a part of their family to start over his life. Bella joined everyone on welcoming him and Jalen became a part of the family.

Have a Purpose

At the beginning of Have A Purpose, Bella is present at Tiffany and Jalen’s wedding. While Tiffany and Jalen were heading back from their honeymoon, Jacob and Renesmee shows everyone the newspaper of Jalen being on the run accusing of raping Elena Margaret when they were kids only that it was Jalen’s foster dad who committed it. In October, Bella goes to North Central High along with her family to be there for Lucina’s first day of school in 4th Grade and for Jalen to complete his education. She and the others see that the students are disrespectful to others below them and the principal Mr. Bitters shows favoritism. During the story, the Cullens meet Jemma who has no one with her. They see that Jemma has no scent on her but allowed her to stay since she has nowhere to go. Bella meets Bryce Cullen who falls in love with Lucina. One night when Lucina came back from her first date with Bryce, the Cullens found out that Jemma disappeared.  While Bella and Edward went looking for Jemma, they find a scent of a half human half vampire child that was around their area and Bella believed that Jemma went off with them. After they told the family what they found out, the Cullens hear from Alice that something is about to happen to the Volturi. Later, they meet a nomad name Raymundo who was curious about their lifestyle. During that, Raymundo was collecting information from everyone when he looked into their eyes and left afterwards. On Christmas Eve, Bryce’s family joins Jacob and the Cullens at their place to celebrate the holidays. During that, Bryce has an asthma attack and was taken to the operation room where Jalen changes Bryce into a vampire and Bryce woke up three days later knowing about the world he lives in and becomes a part of the family. During the night of prom, Bella goes to prom with her family to keep an eye on Lucina who she goes to the dance with Orion Stern after Bryce broke up with her only because Orion blackmailed Jalen to do so. After Jalen gave Lucas his aura back, Edward and Alice saw of Orion’s plans and tells everyone about it and what to do while Jalen was getting Bryce and Lucina back together. Bella receives the files that were filled but never responded by Mr. Bitters sending them to the superintendent, Ted Turner before she got taken by the cops until Asher Pennington the commissioner of the police department, stops them and Mrs. Pennington reveals herself as Elena, Jalen’s foster sister who everyone believed he raped.

A Christmas Surprise

Six months since the previous story, the Cullens with the addition of Evan and Sarah Black celebrate Christmas along with Charlie, Sue, the pack, Renee, Bryce’s family, Asher, Elena and their daughter Melissa Pennington and Gwen, Hayden and Sam Stewart who came to surprise Tiffany. As the new Volturi, the Cullens told every one of their story and the events that has happened revealing about the supernatural. They made one adjustment to the law about revealing their existence; if a civilized vampire has any living family member or someone connected to, they have the right to know as long as they don’t reveal the existence to other humans. Bella participates by telling the events that has happened in the past along with telling her background story.

Fourteen Years Later

Two years later, Lucina finishes high school and Bryce proposes to her thus making them engaged. They got married making Bryce, Bella's adoptive nephew-in-law and adoptive brother-in-law. Two weeks later after returning from their honeymoon, Lucina finds out that she is pregnant. Lucina soon gave birth to her son Lucien Cullen. Five years later since Lucien was born, he starts school like the other Cullens when they moved to Montana. He meets a human girl name Kourtney Collier and the two became friends later meeting Skai, a half-human half-vampire child. The Cullens meet Skai and learns about him as he learns about them and he's been with them since although he never lives with them despite the offer. Two weeks after that, Kourtney found out about the supernatural when she overheard Lucien and Skai of their conversation. Skai developed an idea for the world when he finds out the Cullens became the new Volturi. He believes they have the power to make a difference. With their gifts, they would be the most powerful coven to have ever existed. When Bella and the Cullens told Lucien about it, he refused to believe them siding with Skai and ran away. Lucas took off to find Lucien until they both got ambushed by Skai and Kourtney with Skai taking Lucas’ gift with his absorbing ability and took off with Kourtney. After Lucas regained himself, he, Bella and the Cullens found Skai who was attempting to kill Lucien, but was stopped by them with Lucas taking his gift back from Skai. Kourtney was dead when they arrived caused by Skai shooting Lucas' aura sphere and Skai escaped swearing revenge on Lucien and they haven't seen him since.

Long Live Life

Six years since the event, Bella and the Cullens see how depressed Lucien is since losing his friends. Bella hears about Lucien developing feelings for Luna Snow in Minnesota. During the story, the Cullens were ambushed by metal vampires, gifted ones that are alive and dead. Bella recognizes a few familiar faces including James. The Cullens then hear from the metal vampires being spoken by someone that he will have all the Cullens gifts leaving them confused on who's behind it. Lucien introduces the Cullens to Luna since they became a couple and knowing about the supernatural and Bella accepts her into the family seeing how happy Lucien is. Later, Skai returns revealing that he is in charge of the army of metal vampires using the sword called IL Mietitore Capacità and he has come to first kill Luna as revenge to Lucien for losing Kourtney who he had feelings for and then Lucien for his betrayal. The Cullens sent Luna and Lucien away along with Sarah and Evan while sending Luna and Damien Grant's family to Red Lake for protection while Jasper and Jalen went off to find Skai. Days later, they returned only to be under the control by Skai who attacked the Cullens and taking every one of them including Bella.

Bella attended high school again with Korrina Snow who is the imprint of Evan and she gets strangled to death by Randy Fowler until Edward and Lucas stops him. Evan changes Korrina when she was about to die and she becomes a vampire later getting married to Evan.

Physical Appearance

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. Her lips are a bit too full for her slim jawline. Her eyebrows are darker than her hair and are straighter than they are arched. As such, even before she became a vampire and inherited god-like beauty, Bella was rather pretty, as she unintentionally attracted the attention of several boys in school, not just Edward. The scent of her blood is incredibly attractive to vampires, described by Bree Tanner to be the "sweetest scent she'd ever smelled", though it is a thousand times more intense to Edward Cullen. As for distinguishing features, Bella has a small crescent-shaped scar on her hand where she was bitten by James, a tracker vampire, in Twilight. The scar is described as being pale, always a few degrees colder than the rest of her body, and it shines like a vampire's skin when exposed to the sunlight. 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 mostly prefers to wear shirts, jeans and sneakers everywhere she goes, as she lacks an interest in fashion. In the Twilight films, Bella's hair is quite curly and wavy instead of straight.
