Elizabeth Cullen

**Elizabeth Carlie Cullen-Hale** was born on September 11, 1989 to Bella Swan and Edward Cullen. She is the twin sister of Renesmee Cullen and while she is technically a vampire/human hybrid (Dhampir), she possesses little vampire traits other than enhanced senses. Due to complications in the womb, Eliza was left blinded though was able to see the faces of her family once with the help of her sisters supernatural power. Eliza's deceased biological paternal grandparents are Edward Masen, Sr. and Elizabeth Masen (her namesake), while on the maternal side, they are Charlie Swan and Renée Dwyer. She is also the adoptive paternal granddaughter of Carlisle and Esme Cullen and the adoptive paternal niece of Jasper Hale, Rosalie Hale, Alice Cullen and Emmett Cullen.

Eliza is considered to be Edward and Bella's "miracle", because of what it took to keep her, her sister, and her mother alive through the pregnancy. She has extremely pale skin and while she doesn't sparkly in the sun, her skin does appear brighter. Irina of the Denali Coven sees Renesmee and Eliza and believes they are immortal children, a human child who had been turned by a vampire. She informs the Volturi, as immortal children are not permitted to live. The Volturi reach Forks intent on killing Eliza, Renesmee and the Cullens. However, the Cullen family members gather witnesses from around the world to prove that they are not immortal children. Alice brings another vampire-human hybrid, Nahuel, who explains that they pose no danger to the vampires. Convinced that they are not a threat, the Volturi leave, and Eliza and her family are left in peace.

As she grew at a human pace, her family found it increasingly difficult to help her. Eliza struggled with her disability and enhanced senses as a child till the Cullen's were sought out by Stick. Eliza was trained by Stick to become a warrior, using her disability as an advantage until Stick left her since he thought her emotions made her weak. She kept her abilities and training a secret from her family, finding that she was able to produce a weak mental shield. However, she eventually told Jasper and he began training her in secret.

After graduating from Forks High School, Stick tracked her down and convinced her to apply for further schooling at Columbia University so she could look after Matt Murdock, a fellow blind trainy. While there she became friends with Murdock and Foggy Nelson as they went for similar degrees, though they wanted to go to become Lawyers. Eliza began dating Derek Hale, a werewolf, and befriended his sister, Laura Hale. After graduating with a Masters degree in Criminal Justice, Criminology, and Law Enforcement at age 22, Eliza married Derek Hale before they moved back to Forks and eventually Beacon Hills where she began working as a detective at Beacon County Sheriff's Station.

Shortly afterward, Laura was murdered in order for her killer to steal her Alpha powers, forcing Eliza and Derek to track and battle against this mysterious and vengeful new Alpha, only to learn that it was actually Derek's uncle Peter Hale, who sought to create a new pack with which to get revenge on those who orchestrated the Hale House Fire. Upon learning that Peter's killing of Laura was premeditated and not an accident like he claimed, Eliza teamed up with Peter's first Beta, Scott McCall and his friends, along with Derek and Hunters Allison and Chris Argent, to kill him. It was Derek that gave him the killing blow in retribution for killing Laura, which caused Derek to gain Peter's Alpha status.

Sometime later, when Eliza realized the Alpha Pack intended to recruit Derek, she went to her Coven, revealing her abilities and gained their support if the Alpha Pack would strike. Meanwhile, Derek began biting and turning several teenagers in hopes of building his own pack to help fight against them. Recipients of Derek's bite included Jackson Whittemore, Isaac Lahey, Erica Reyes, and Vernon Boyd III, though only the latter three actually joined the pack. Later, the pack expanded to included Peter and his newly returned younger sister, Cora, but the pack was short-lived, as the rest of the Betas were either killed (in the cases of Boyd and Erica) or left the group (such as Isaac, who subsequently joined Scott McCall's new pack after he ascended to True Alpha status).

In Alpha Pact, Derek forfeited his Alpha status in order to heal Cora from mistletoe poisoning, returning him to Beta status. Though they left town shortly afterward for several weeks, they later returned to Beacon Hills and joined the McCall Pack. After the events of the Deadpool and Derek's surprise development into an Evolved Werewolf, they once again left town and traveled back to New York when receiving a letter from Stick.

Eliza worked with Elektra and Stick to attempt to recruit Murdock to join into their conflict against the Hand. They eventually defeated the Hand member Nobu Yoshioka. Elektra was lost in the process and Eliza was forced to cut off ties with Renesmee when she visited in order to keep her pregnant sister safe. However, once the Hand began their next attack on New York City and successfully resurrected Elektra, Eliza began investigating. Renesmee was kidnapped before she could leave and Eliza joined forces with Murdock, Jessica Jones, Luke Cage and Iron Fist to destroy the Hand. The conflict with the Hand claimed Stick's life and ended up pushing Derek Hale into a fugitive in the government's eyes. Eliza managed to save Renesmee with the help of Jacob Black, her parents, and Jasper, mending their relationship in the process.

Though most of her relationships were fixed, Eliza mentally struggled when she suffered a miscarriage. She slowly managed to return to herself with the help of Derek and Esme, who knew what it was like. Eliza and Derek then returned to Beacon Hills after hearing that Scott needed his help, and bumped into Stiles (who was an intern at the Federal Bureau of Investigations in Quantico, Virginia) on the way. Derek had been framed for several mass murders that were actually carried out by Hunters against supernatural creatures, part of Gerard Argent and Tamora Monroe's international crusade to commit genocide against them. Two years after the defeat of the Anuk-ite and temporary win against Monroe's Army, Eliza was seen still being an active member of the McCall Pack who was aiding her friends in finding orphaned supernatural creatures like Alec and welcoming them into their ranks.

## Biography

### Early Life

#### Before birth

After Edward Cullen and Bella Swan are married, they spend their honeymoon on an island the Cullen family owns off the coast of Rio de Janeiro: Isle Esme, a gift from Carlisle to Esme. At this point, Edward couldn't deny Bella the human experience of sex any longer despite his fear of harming her, as they had a deal, and they make love on several occasions.

However, as the honeymoon progresses, Bella begins to experience mood swings, peculiar eating habits, terrible nightmares, and severe morning sickness, which confuses her. After finding tampons in her bag, she notices that her period is five days late, and a hard, growing, bump protruding from her hips, realizing she is pregnant. This realization took Bella out of Alice's "sight" as she cannot see a future involving half-vampires; she calls Bella in a panic to see if she is alright. Edward knows that there have been stories of women who died while giving birth to a vampire's child. Therefore, he leaps into action, as always, only caring about the safety of Bella, and insists that she let Carlisle remove the abnormally rapid-growing fetus. However, Bella won't allow it.

Enlisting Rosalie's help as a bodyguard, with support from Emmett and Esme, Bella refuses to have an abortion, determined to carry the child, trusting that Edward will save her by turning her into a vampire after she gives birth and that Carlisle will save the baby if something goes wrong. Carlisle is also unwilling to disagree with Esme. As the baby continues to grow at an alarmingly rapid rate, Bella's health deteriorates. She develops an unhealthy pallor; her stomach is bruised in multiple places from the baby's movements (as it has inherited a vampire's superhuman strength); her ribs and later her pelvis, are broken. Her body has been rejecting human food, and it is only when Jacob Black bitterly thinks about the "creature" craving blood, that Edward, with his ability to read thoughts, thinks of a solution. The Cullens allow Bella to sample some donated human blood from Carlisle's work at the hospital. To Bella's surprise, it smells and tastes appealing, and revives her, to an extent. Jacob however is not entirely thrilled. Besides the strength and appetite of the growing baby, evidence of its vampire heritage is apparent in the hard and thick amniotic sac, endurance resembling the skin of a vampire, making ultrasounds and amniocentesis impossible. Bella isn't the only suffering individual during the pregnancy; Jacob describes Edward as a "burning man", lifeless and self-loathing, thinking of the child as a possible case of "Rosemary's Baby": a child born of a demon, the spawn of the devil. Edward still is not completely convinced that he is not a monster and that he does have a soul.

As Bella's pregnancy nears its completion, Edward begins to hear the baby's thoughts; he quickly realizes that the baby loves Bella, can recognize the sounds of its parents' voices, and can even understand simple conversations. This new knowledge quickly wins over Edward's affection (Jacob Black states that Edward cannot hate anyone who loves Bella). After listening to its parents, the baby understands what hurts her mother and tries to avoid injuring her further. Bella is convinced that the baby is a boy and calls it "EJ" (which is short for "Edward Jacob"). However, she does admit that she may be wrong and the baby could turn out to be a girl. She decides that "Renesmee Carlie" would be what she would call her baby, should it be a girl (with the latter being a portmanteau of Charlie and Carlisle, the grandfathers' names). The pregnancy continues its rapid progression, and Bella goes into violent labor even sooner than anticipated when the placenta is unexpectedly detached. Carlisle and Esme, who originally planned to be there for delivery the next day, are out hunting, so Edward, Rosalie, Jacob, and Alice help to deliver the baby by C-section. Although Edward wants to wait for the morphine to spread and ease Bella's pain, Bella commands him to perform the C-section without delay, thrashing and screaming that "He can't breathe!". Rosalie starts the C-section but, due to the amount of blood involved, loses control, forcing Jacob and Alice to tackle and drag her from the room. Edward continues with the C-section in Rose's place, eventually using his teeth to bite through the hard amniotic sac. Bella is severely injured during the birth due to the baby's violent thrashing, breaking many ribs, losing a lot of blood, and eventually snapping her spine, which requires Jacob to provide CPR to keep her breathing.

After delivering the baby, Edward declares that it is a girl, Bella names her Renesmee. As Bella holds her, Renesmee's vampire heritage becomes apparent when she bites Bella, showing her inherited sharp teeth and natural desire for human blood. As Bella loses consciousness again due to her injuries, Edward hands the baby to Rosalie, injects his venom into Bella's heart and bites her in several places, maximizing her odds of survival. After every bite, he runs his tongue over the wound and heals it, trapping the venom into her bloodstream and preserving her already low blood supply. Despite Jacob's CPR support and Edward's venom, Bella's heart stops beating. Believing Bella is beyond saving, Jacob follows Renesmee, intent on killing her in revenge. Still with Bella, Edward provides CPR himself which, combined with the venom, eventually results in Bella's heart recovering, and her conversion into a vampire.

#### After birth

Jacob Black, previously determined to destroy the monster which he believed to have killed Bella, ends up imprints on Renesmee the moment they look into each other's eyes instead. Because of this, Renesmee becomes the key to a permanent truce between the werewolves and the Cullens; by the absolute pack law, the object of a wolf's imprinting cannot be harmed by other wolves under any circumstances whatsoever, and there is no exception to this rule.

After Bella's transformation and recovery are complete, Edward takes her out hunting, telling her that she needs to control her thirst before she can meet her daughter, who is half-human and has her own blood. When they return, Jacob tests Bella's control by standing in front of her, and after that is secured, Renesmee and Bella finally meet face-to-face. When Bella finds out about Jacob's imprinting on her child, she angrily confronts him. She eventually lunges at him when she also finds out that he has nicknamed her "Nessie", a nickname derived from the Loch Ness Monster.

Bella realizes that Renesmee is gifted with the ability to share her thoughts with people by touching them, when she shows her the very first picture of her human face. The Cullens are preparing to leave for Alaska when Jacob suddenly tells Charlie about the supernatural world, as he wishes to keep Renesmee in Forks and knows that Charlie is the main reason that they are leaving. By telling Charlie about the world having supernatural forces and that Bella has changed (without specifying anything), he does a huge favor for Bella, the Cullens and himself. Renesmee meets Charlie for the first time when he comes to see Bella, and they both grow incredibly fond of each other.

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. Since no one is certain of her development and worried of her lifespan, the Cullens plan on making a trip to South America to study the legends that involve her species in hopes of finding answers.

While Bella, Jacob and Renesmee are in the woods hunting together, they are spotted by Irina, a member of the Denali coven, who is mad at the Cullens for not avenging her mate's death. Irina sees Renesmee from a distance and assumes her to be an immortal child, a human child transformed into a vampire. By the Volturi's laws, such children are not allowed to exist because of their inability to control themselves, and Irina, whose mother had been killed for creating one, reports to the Volturi about her. Irina is not aware, however, that Renesmee is a vampire/human hybrid, growing and learning. The Volturi make the decision to come to Forks, and destroy the child and the entire Cullen family. Alice sees this in a vision and tells the Cullens they need to gather witnesses to testify that Renesmee is a half-vampire and that she is able to control her instincts; she leaves a clue for Bella to locate a lawyer named J. Jenks to help Renesmee escape in case the Volturi do end them, and then flees with Jasper without so much as a goodbye.

In the next month, the Cullens gather many friends to help them testify that the child is not an immortal child. Renesmee wins over many with her gift and sweetness, and makes many new friends. To spend her first Christmas, Bella, Edward and Jacob take her to Charlie's house to celebrate, and she receives an MP3 player from Edward, a golden locket inscribed with the words "plus que ma propre vie" ("more than my own life" in French) from Bella, and a handwoven charm bracelet—the Quileute equivalent of a promise ring—from Jacob.

Knowing that the Volturi will stop at nothing to not only destroy, but acquire half of her family, Bella pleads Renesmee to leave with Jacob when the time comes. When the Volturi and their witnesses arrive, the Cullens and their witnesses prove to them that the child is a hybrid between vampires and humans. Aro is very intrigued with Renesmee's existence, but is determined to achieve his secret ambitions—to add Alice, Edward, Bella and some of the other gifted vampires into his collection. He and Caius come up with multiple schemes to provoke a battle between the Volturi and the Cullens. In Alice's vision of the probable battle, Renesmee and Jacob are escaping the slaughter with Volturi guard Santiago running after them. When he flies through the air to catch them, Jacob fights back, bites off his head and escapes with Renesmee.

The deal to let her live is set when Alice and Jasper show up near the end of the trial with a mature half-vampire like Renesmee, one the Volturi have never known of. Said hybrid, Nahuel, informs the Volturi of his past, his age and his diet. This persuades Aro to no longer see Renesmee as a threat, and, more importantly, threatened by Bella's gift, and leave in disgrace. The Cullens are safe again, and Renesmee is able to stay with her family.

Nahuel states that Renesmee will probably reach complete physical maturity around seven years after her birth, at which point she will stop aging and live to an unknown extent of years.

#### Trained by Stick

While still at the orphanage, Murdock was visited by an old blind man named Stick. Stick knew about Murdock's enhanced senses and how they makes him suffer, so he took him outside for ice cream. While they sat together, Stick asked Murdock what he could understand about nearby people just from listening to them. Stick promised to train Murdock to control and master his "gift." Murdock kept the wrapper from his ice cream, planning on giving it to Stick as a present.

Stick began a harsh training regime with Murdock, often pushing an emotional response from him to teach him to control his anger. Over the next few months and years, Murdock became a powerful fighter with almost complete control of his blindness. During one of their training sessions, Murdock gave Stick the wrapper from his ice cream, having made it into a bracelet. Stick crushed it in his hand and told him he could no longer train him. Stick left and Murdock would not see him again for many years.[4]

### College Years

#### Meeting Foggy Nelson

As a young adult, Murdock gained a place at Columbia University. He arrived in his room and introduced himself to his new roommate, Foggy Nelson. Nelson had heard of Murdock, as he remembered what had happened to him as a child. Murdock and Nelson immediately formed a strong friendship and Nelson often joked about his blindness while Murdock would tease Nelson about many of his poor life choices, such as his decision to take a course in Punjabi simply to get close to a girl.

#### Avocados at Law

After a beer run, Murdock and Foggy Nelson swore to work together for many more years once they had finally graduated from Columbia University. Nelson asked about Elektra but didn't remember her name and Murdock declared that their relationship ended because "it did not work out." Nelson and Murdock then joked about their future as lawyers, with Nelson mistakenly saying they'd be "avocados" rather than saying the correct Spanish word leading Murdock to tease him, using the same word.

When Murdock revealed to Nelson that he had his first alcoholic drink when he was nine, because he had to stitch his dad up after a fight, Nelson comforted him, saying that if he could see him now, his father would be proud of the man he had become while Nelson noted his whole family were coming to his graduation. They then continued to talk about their future as Murdock noted that they should call their future law firm Nelson and Murdock as it sounded better that way, joking that while he was blind his hearing was still excellent before they then got up to continue their night of drinking together and discussing a future of working together.[5]

## Powers and Abilities

### Powers

* Enhanced Senses: Despite being blind from birth, Eliza's remaining four senses are enhanced to a superhuman level, resulting in them becoming radar-like. She claims to constantly feel numerous things, including balance, direction, minuscule changes in air density, vibrations, and blankets of temperature variations, that are usually imperceptible to human beings. That, combined with her acute hearing and olfactory senses, allows Eliza to evaluate her surroundings in what she describes as an "Impressionistic painting" of the world around her, which, according to her is completely black like a starless night sky. Her superhumanly enhanced senses grant her tremendous awareness of her surroundings on a wide range, thus makes her extremely alert to danger. Eliza's senses, however, can be extremely overloaded at high vibrational levels which cause her extreme discomfort and disorientation.
	+ **Enhanced Hearing:** Eliza's hearing is sharper than a bat's and is extremely acute, she can clearly hear conversations, heartbeats and even breaths from several meters. Hearing the changes in people's heartbeats allows her to predict how they feel and what actions they'll take, such as attack or run. She also is able to memorize patterns of sounds to use them to track people later. When forced to improvise, Eliza was able to effectively keep track movements by listening to breaths and the sound of weapons cutting through the air. Eliza's hearing also makes her an adept thief, as she is able to skillfully bypass a combination safe. Eliza is also able to detect 25 individual heartbeats of various henchmen throughout builds.
		- **Echolocation:** Eliza possesses an exceptionally advanced form of human echolocation. She is able to detect objects in her environment by sensing echoes from those objects, by actively creating and listening for sounds - for example tapping her cane, stomping of her enemies' feet, raindrops, ticking from a watch, tumbling of a safe's locks, rattling chains or even a person's heartbeat. She can interpret the sound waves reflected by nearby objects, accurately identifying their location and size.
		- **Lie Detection:** Eliza's hearing is so acute, that she can tell whether people are lying or not, based on the rate of their heartbeats.
	+ **Enhanced Smell:** Eliza's incredible olfactory senses which are even sharper than a dog allows her to detect the scent of stale cigarettes and cheap cologne three floors above her and through several walls. When she was a child, her sense was already so acute, she could smell that an old man sitting at a bench across from him had cancer. By smelling an old cigarette, Eliza could tell that whoever smoked it previously had rotten teeth.
	+ **Enhanced Taste:** Eliza was able to tell that someone had ripped open some of the stitches on their back, due to tasting copper in the air from the blood of the open wound. Stick taught her how to train this sense, which allowed her to pick out every individual ingredient of the ice cream she was eating, including that the milk used came from three different dairy farms, and that the man who served her used a certain type of soil in his garden.
	+ **Enhanced Touch:** Eliza can feel the presence of those around her through vibrations, air currents, and body temperatures. She can dodge attacks and projectiles by feeling them cut through the air, creating ripples of currents only detectable by her. She locates enemies through walls and from different floors by feeling the vibrations they make from moving, such as their footsteps. While in exile and temporarily powerless, Eliza was soon able to feel the vibrations from the subway lines running deep under the church. She used these vibrations to track and scan her environment, and to regain some of her strength and balance.
		- **Thermoreception:** Eliza can sense changes in heat in the environment. She could even feel the heat generated from the blood spilling from a gunshot wound; to one-half of a degree, she was able to distinguish the difference in temperature.
		- **Electroreception:** Eliza is able to detect electric fields, similar to a shark. She was able to find a hidden room by feeling an electrical current coming from behind the wall. She could hear the electricity buzzing inside the wall and felt a stop in the current where the mechanism for unlocking the secret room was.
	+ **Enhanced Balance:** Eliza's sense of balance is superhuman, giving her excellent equilibrium, coordination, dexterity, and agility, resulting in high levels of acrobatic and gymnastic ability.
		- **Enhanced Agility:** Thanks to her senses, Eliza’s agility is greater than even the finest athletes. She can traverse the city with speed and grace, by flipping, jumping, and swinging. She can dodge bullet fire, even at near point blank range, and can completely outmaneuver most enemies. She was also able to traverse down a multilevel parking garage in mere seconds, by jumping and flipping between the floors.
	+ **Enhanced Reflexes:** Eliza's reflexes are enhanced to superhuman level. Even before her training with Stick, she could effortlessly catch keys thrown to her while hearing the sound they made. She can instinctively react to oncoming blows nearly effortlessly with the use of her other senses, such as avoiding attacks with a sharp weapon at close quarters by hearing the noise of its approach, and even dodging bullets fired at close range. Because her reflexes are enhanced by her hyperawareness, Eliza is capable of reacting to objects being thrown in her direction with lightning-fast reaction time.
* **Mental Shield:** Eliza processes a raw supernatural force-field that blocks any and all kinds of psychic powers that act on invading the mind. Since she is mostly human, she considers this power a "glitch" in her head. Her shield seems to be based on her "private mind," a place where no one can harm her. It also made her very desirable to Aro, who likes to collect vampires with special abilities for the Volturi guard. It is known to be unbreakable to psychic powers. Eventually Eliza was able to fit others under her shield, sometimes by accident (with Stick) and sometimes on purpose (with Jasper and Derek). Stick, though limited in knowledge of Vampires, was able to teach her how to shield herself from Alice's powers, since she saw it as an invasion on her mind's privacy in making decisions.

By the time she met Stick again, Eliza rivaled her former mentor in skill, managing to keep up with him in an intense one-on-one duel and ultimately overpowering him, earning Stick's praise. Eliza often used her enhanced senses to her advantage in combat, seen when she knocked out the lights while fighting, putting her enemies at a disadvantage during the fight due to their decreased visibility whereas Eliza was not. Even though Eliza usually choose to use non-lethal weapons, she is skilled at using a sword in combat. She briefly used the katana against the Hand ninjas before being disarmed during the fight.
* **Staff Mastery:** Thanks to her early training with Stick, Eliza is extremely skilled at using staves and similar melee weapons in combat. The billy club that she uses maximize this skill by being able to easily change between different combinations of weapons, such as two batons or nunchaku.
