Canon;; Bella Swan
Species ;; Vampire
;; appearance
general;; Isabella stands 5’4” above the ground, a quite average in height for a human, and has a slender yet nicely shaped figure despite not liking to exercise due to her clumsiness. Her skin is very pale and to her frustration can never acquire a healthy tan because any prolonged exposure to the sun ends up in sunstroke. Her long hair is of a dark, brown color and naturally straight even though it tends to curl up slightly: she isn’t the type to fuss over different hairstyles, reason why she wears it down or in a high ponytail or messy bun. Her eyes are of a chocolate, brown color and more expressive that she would like them to be.
In general, Isabella seems fragile and in constant need of protection from the outside world but even if a complete klutz she had managed to survive seventeen long years practically on her own considering her mother’s almost childish behavior. When it comes to clothes she isn’t the type of girl to obsess over the lastest fashion trends, it’s fair to say she creates her own style, and keep her wardrobe as simple as possible: skirts, jeans, t-shirts, sweatshirts, and jackets made her day and mostly in soft colors just to avoid attracting attention towards her. She hates wearing make-up, though she can tolerate nude gloss, and formal clothes could easily give her an allergy. Since she can barely walk in plain, flat trainers there’s no way on earth she could ever buy a pair of high heels. Accesories are not a necessity… mostly because she will end up losing them.
favorite;; Her eyes and hair.
hate;; Her pale skin
heritage;; American
ethnicity;; unknown
;; personality
general;; Her biggest flaw is her inability to express her thoughts and opinion openly even when she doesn’t agree with something. Perhaps, Bella is too polite for her own good and always likes to put others in front of her because she doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings. Once someone has earned her friendship, she’s a loyal friend and a very good listener but better don’t go asking her for advice: in all truth she can’t decide what to do with her own life so she isn’t about to tell other what to do. It comes as a surprise but Bella has a dry sense of humor and sometimes people don’t understand the light sarcasm behind a seemingly innocent and harmless phrase.
Bella is literally a danger magnet and is extremely clumsy: she trips over constantly, even when the surface is flat!, and is always bumping against tables and people. It’s no surprise she can’t play a sport to save her own life and every single time she’s forced to give it a try more than one besides herself suffers the consequences. As a result, she’s always blushing and apologizing and to make things worse people often makes her feel like a “damsel in distress”… especially the boys in her life. When nervous, Bella tends to bite her fingernails and can be a tad paranoid: she can be rather obsessive but on her favor it’s due to her problem to communicate openly.

;; origins
general;; It all started when Renée married Charlie Swan, right after they finished high school, and had Bella shortly after. Unfortunately, the differences in character ended the marriage and soon mother and daughter found themselves moving to Phoenix, Arizona. Bella’s childhood was relative normal and uneventful but her mother’s somewhat childlike behavior forced the young girl to become the one responsible around the house: Bella has always felt like the mother in their relationship and often ended up looking after Renée to stop her from doing something either reckless or plain stupid. Her relationship with her father was always limited to summer vacations: the first years following the divorce Bella travelled to Forks but soon she grew tired of the constant raining and the ridiculous amount of green all over the small town and thus asked her father to come to visit her instead.
Shortly after her seventeen birthday, Renée married a much younger baseball player named Phil Dwyer and Bella felt in the need to move in with Charlie to allow her mother to travel around the country with her new husband. It came as a surprise to both parents, considering she had always complained about the bad weather, but her decision was soon accepted even though her mother wasn’t thrilled about sending her daughter away… perhaps more worried about herself than about the independent teenager. Bella’s arrival didn’t go unnoticed by the friendly people of Forks and very much to her annoyance she soon became the center of attention at the small school: the boys noticed her more than she ever expected, she honestly was barely noticed at her old school and dates had been non-existent, and the girls seemed approachable enough. It didn’t take her too long to make good friends.
That was when she met the pale, golden eyed Edward Cullen. Falling in love with him was easy. Living through it was harder. After numerous attacks by other vampires, Bella soon realized that the only way to stop the threat to her life, and the threat to the Cullen's secret was to be bitten. Disagreement after disagreement, Edward and Bella would fight over that same topic. But after a special event on Esme's Island, Edward would have to fulfill Bella's wish to keep her alive. The beautiful Renesmee was a little monster in the womb, breaking Bella's ribs and spine. Edward's only choice was to bite Bella and turn her into a vampire, saving both her and their family for now.

sample;; The first day of school, is either dreaded, or loved by students. Those lost summer souls who are still basking in the days of warm sunny weather dread the start of a school day, with cares and responsibilities. Then there are those others who love to get back into the swing of things and are ready to wake up at the crack of dawn every weekday. But when it’s your first day and everybody else’s sixtieth or so day into the year, then you have no one to share that dread/love emotion with.
“Dad I’ll be fine” Bella Swan said to her father Charlie as she scurried down the steps; tripping over one or two, and making her way over to the breakfast table. Charlie Swan, the chief of police in Forks stared over the paper at his seventeen year old daughter whom he’d only seen during the summers. “Are you sure you’ll know how to drive the truck and everything?” he asked his eyes still peering over the gray newsprint. Bella nodded as she took a sthingyful of cereal. Her eyes gazed the small kitchen and landed amongst the clock on the wall. It took a minute for her body to react, before she turned around and dumped the uneaten cereal in the sink. She turned back around to Charlie, “Bye Ch-Dad, I’ll see you later” she said quickly, before grabbing her coat and running out the door.
She stumbled a bit on the steps and muttered to herself as she walked over to the old red truck. The door creaked as she pulled it open, but she ignored it, and quickly threw her bag in before she hopped in herself. The truck roared as she started the engine and she jumped a bit. She regained her composure and headed down the road.
When she pulled into the parking lot, instantly all heads turned around and all eyes focused on her approaching truck. Bella sighed deeply before locking her eyes on an empty parking space and not allowing herself to look at any of the other faces staring at her. In an instant she reached the empty parking spot, and regretted not parking further away from the school. She turned off the car and rested her head against the worn out steering wheel. She took in a deep breath before unlocking her seatbelt, grabbing her bag and slipping out of the car.
She took a quick glance around, it was just like Phoenix. There were clumps of people in organized groups. It was typical, the jocks, the nerds, the popular girls who fluffed their hair, the pale perfect people and the musicians. She stopped for a second and turned around to face the pale perfect people. There were five of them standing around each other, each of them without one imperfection. She was dazzled for a moment before she swiftly turned around, afraid one of them might look up, considering the rest of the parking lot was staring at her it would only be a matter of moments before one of the pales glanced up at her.
