- "Before you, Bella, my life was like a moonless night. Very dark, but there were stars—points of light and reason… and then you shot across my sky like a meteor. Suddenly everything was on fire; there was brilliancy, there was beauty. When you were gone, when the meteor had fallen over the horizon, everything went black. Nothing had changed, but my eyes were blinded by the light. I couldn't see the stars anymore. And there was no more reason for anything."
- ―Edward Cullen to Bella[src]
Isabella Marie "Bella" Swan (later Cullen), was born to Charlie Swan and Renée Dwyer on September 13, 1987, and is the protagonist of the Twilight series. In Twilight, she is a 17 years old girl who transfers schools from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington to live with her father, where she falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen. In Breaking Dawn, she marries Edward and becomes a full member of the Olympic Coven. She is transformed into a vampire by Edward after nearly dying giving birth to their daughter, Renesmee Cullen, a vampire/human hybrid. Bella is the daughter-in-law of Edward's father and Elizabeth Masen, as well as the adoptive daughter-in-law of Carlisle and Esme Cullen. She is the adoptive sister-in-law of Alice Cullen, Emmett Cullen, Rosalie Hale and Jasper Hale.
As a human, Bella possessed a natural immunity to the mental powers of vampires. After her transformation she develops it into the ability to project a mental shield she can use to protect others from the mental powers of other vampires. Kate and Zafrina were pivotal in her mastery of this skill.
Early life
Bella Swan was born on September 13, 1987, to Renée and Charlie Swan, a young couple living in the small town of Forks, Washington. Her parents divorced when she was six months old, and Renée took Bella with her to Riverside, California, before moving to Phoenix, Arizona when Bella was five. Very little of Bella's life in Phoenix is mentioned, although she does allude to not fitting in very well at her old school, never having any romantic relationships nor many friends, and that she spent a lot of time with her mother. She mentions briefly taking piano lessons, which she complained about until her mother let her discontinue them, and having a few pet fish. It is also known that she used to take ballet lessons in a studio near her house, and that she wasn't much good; she was always placed, to her relief, in the back at recitals. The ballet studio will later be the site of a fight between Bella, Edward, and James. Bella is also known to have visited Forks in her past to spend time with Charlie. During these occasions, she also spent time with Rachel, Rebecca, and Jacob Black, the children of Charlie's friend Billy Black. Bella used to visit every summer, until she was fourteen years old. This was when she put her foot down, and Charlie went to California for two weeks every summer instead.

At the start of the first book, Bella's mother had recently married Phil Dwyer, a minor league baseball player who is much younger than herself. Phil travels a lot due to his profession, and Bella notices how much her mother wants to follow him in his travels. So, to make it easier for them, Bella moves back to her birth town of Forks, Washington, to live with her father Charlie Swan. She enrolls at Forks High School in the middle of her Junior year. She does not notice the physical attraction she holds for the males at the school. She 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. His adopted siblings being 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, who is married to Rosalie, a beautiful, self-absorbed woman.
As the story progresses, a family friend, Jacob Black, informs Bella that the Cullens are supposedly vampires. However, they are different from other vampires in that they are "vegetarians", meaning they live off animal blood instead of human. Edward and Bella get to know each other better, and it turns out that it is hard for Edward to be near her, since he is particularly drawn by the scent of her blood. He must constantly control his desire, and he also finds that his mind reading capabilities do not work on 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. He tricks her into coming to her old ballet studio with the sound of her mother's voice, and the Cullen family must rush to Bella's aid. They destroy James before he can kill her, 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.
At the end of the novel, Edward takes Bella to their high school prom, despite her broken leg and angry protests. There are high levels of tension as he turns to action, caused by Edward and Bella's differences of opinion about turning Bella into 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 at any condition, mortal or not.[1][2]
New Moon
- Main article: 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 didn't help that she also had a nightmare, where she was with who she thought to be her Grandma Marie, but who turned out to be herself. Edward came to her side in the dream and was 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 later 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.
Bella sinks into a deep depression for four months, until she is awoken by Charlie, her father. He threatens to send her back to live with her mother in 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, Washington 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 a motorcycle 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 has happened to her friend: he has become a werewolf and is avoiding Bella for her own safety. She also learns 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.
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 had 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 to be dead. Bella and Alice quickly pursue Edward to Italy, and stop him from being killed. Afterwards they are brought to speak with the Volturi, where they make a promise to change Bella 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 tells her that he loves her and had always loved her, 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.[2]
- Main article: Eclipse
Eclipse 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. Edward is trying 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 be turning into 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 a newborn, unable to control its thirst. Bella tells Edward that she needs 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 Bella.
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. Upon returning to the Cullens' house, she encounters Edward. 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.
Meanwhile, Bella still has her heart set on joining Edward and his family as a vampire. But, after consideration, she decides that there is one thing she would like to do while 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 that they can 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 has refused to get involved in the fight, the Cullens and the La Push pack of werewolves join forces to battle Victoria and her army. 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 tells him to kiss her so he will think she loves him back, but as she kisses him, she realizes that she loves Jacob as well. 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, a newborn vampire, find their hiding spot. With Edward outnumbered, it at first looks like Victoria will be successful in killing Bella. But Seth, another 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 to be with 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 and Edward then meet at their meadow, and they agree to tell Charlie about their engagement.[3]
Breaking Dawn
- Main article: Breaking Dawn
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 a few days away. Meanwhile, Edward has bought her a Mercedes Guardian (S600 Guard), 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. Meanwhile, Bella feels guilty about Jacob, believing that her rejecting him caused him to run away.
The wedding goes smoothly, and Jacob arrives at the party despite her rejection of him, and Bella is so 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. After the wedding, Edward agrees to make love with Bella, but 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 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.
Her baby develops at an extremely fast rate, and she becomes very sick. She can't keep food down, and is dying. Also, the baby inside of her is so strong it has been breaking her ribs by accident. Edward had asked Jacob to try to convince her to kill the baby that was killing her, but Bella couldn't, because she loved it. Through Jacob's joking Edward then suggests for Bella to drink blood, and she quickly becomes stronger. 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.
After having a typical Bella moment, which included dropping a cup full of blood, the hardened placenta detaches, and Edward, Rosalie, and Jacob are forced to perform an emergency birthing since Carlisle is hunting with Esme. Bella's body is nearly destroyed in the process - several ribs are broken, she loses vast amounts of blood, and her spinal cord is snapped. Seeing the baby is a girl, she decides to name the baby Renesmee; but then her heart stops beating. Edward injects her heart with some of his own venom and bites her body in several places, turning Bella into a vampire. Jacob goes to kill Renesmee after she is born; because he believed Renesmee killed Bella while she was giving birth, but imprints on her instead.
Bella wakes up two days later, now a vampire. She claims that she can notice how everything is different when she became a newborn. Her senses were improved by great lengths. She explains her new eyesight, laying her new eyes first on a light on the ceiling, claiming to see another, "eighth," color illuminating from it—UV light. Shortly after her creation, Edward takes her out on her first hunt. She jumps out of the window (as Edward notices, "that was graceful even for a vampire"), 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). Bella later finds out Jacob imprinted on Renesmee, which makes her very angry, and 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, phases into his wolf form in front of Charlie (he thought Charlie was the reason they were leaving). Charlie was shocked to discover Bella knew 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.
Later, Bella is with Jacob and Renesmee in the forest when a vampire, Irina, sees her daughter and mistakes her for an immortal child, a heinous crime of the vampire world. When Alice learns that the Volturi Coven and the entire guard is coming to destroy the Cullens, she flees with Jasper on a secret mission which she doesn't tell anyone about. The Cullens look for other vampires to be witnesses, including nomads and other covens, such as the Irish coven and the Amazon coven. In the meantime, Kate, a member of Tanya's coven, tries to teach Bella to project her power, so she could protect others from the Volturi's powers. The Cullens and their allies manage to convince the Volturi that Renesmee really is growing (with the help of the werewolves, Alice's research, and Bella's gift), though Irina pays for her mistake with her life. After the confrontation Bella, Edward and Renesmee return to their cottage; where Bella drops her shield and allows Edward to read her mind for the first time, showing him just how much she really loves him. Edward, Bella, and Renesmee feel free to live their lives in peace forever.
Physical appearance
Bella is described as having a very pale complexion with long, straight, dark brown hair, a widow's peak, wide unique chocolate brown eyes and a heart-shaped face. She also has full lips but her upper lip is fuller than the other, making them uneven. Beyond this information, a detailed description of Bella's appearance is never given in the series. Stephenie Meyer explains that this is because she wanted her readers to "step into Bella's shoes" more easily. However, she has provided a more detailed description of her own interpretation of Bella on her website: she has a heart-shaped face, a widow's peak, a thin nose, and a narrow jaw with a pointed chin and full lips. Her fingernails are stubby, as she has a nervous habit of biting them. She stands at 5'4" and weighs about 110 pounds.
Bella also 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 shines like a vampire's skin when in the sunlight. After Bella is changed into a vampire by Edward Cullen, she becomes even more pale, with blood-red eyes and waist-length hair. Her hair appears to darken in tone when offset by her pale complexion. She is also described as being extremely beautiful and like all vampires; when in sunlight, she sparkles as if thousands of diamonds were embedded to her skin.[4]
PersonalityBella is described as being exceptionally clumsy, dropping and tripping over everything in sight; however this changes once she is transformed into a vampire. She is deeply in love with Edward Cullen. She also cares for the rest of the Cullen family, her father Charlie and mother Renée, and her friend Jacob Black. She hates dressing up, saying that makeup "is a pain" and that she feels uncomfortable in impractical, elegant clothes; however, Alice doesn't care what Bella thinks and continues to persuade her to dress up. She doesn't like spending money on luxurious items, stating in New Moon to Edward 'not to spend a dime on my birthday', and that fast cars are unnecessary, saying that Edward gave her himself and anything else he gives her would throw their relationship too off balance. She has a very private mind, which is thought to be why Edward is unable to hear her thoughts, and she is determined to become a vampire. She is also said to be a terrible liar and acting skills. Ironically, she demonstrates good acting ability in Twilight when she makes her father believe that she has dumped Edward and is leaving Forks. Her favorite expression is "Holy crow". She has a habit of biting her lip, which she shares with Kristen Stewart. Bella also faints at the sight or smell of blood, as demonstrated in Twilight. Bella is also shown in Breaking Dawn, to have a good mood climate, and can run away from the smell of human blood when she goes on her first hunting trip.
Bella has a sarcastic sense of humor, and is understanding and caring. She's also been described as stubborn, and able to block painful thoughts and memories (hence her special vampire ability). She puts Edward before herself and everything else, but several 'selfish' tendencies emerge (as when Bella asked Edward to stay with her instead of fighting the vampires in Eclipse). Stephenie Meyer has stated that Bella's "tragic flaw" in Eclipse is her lack of self-knowledge. This is most obviously illustrated in her consistent denial of any romantic feelings for Jacob Black, despite the fact that she later realizes that she is, indeed, in love with him.
Bella is also a very bad liar. According to Eclipse, Jacob and Edward saying that she's a terrible liar, are evidence to this. Besides, she also admits this throughtout the whole saga.
Bella, according to Edward on Midnight Sun, has no sense of fear when she finds out Edward is a vampire. Instead of running away, as she should have, she decides to ask lots of questions with extreme curiosity. This makes Edward believe that it is not bad luck that follows her around, but that she has no sense of self-preservation.
Powers and abilities
After being turned into a vampire, Bella explains that she has a clearer view of the world, and was impressed with her new family, the Cullens and her husband Edward. As a newborn vampire, she is also very self-controlled, being able to run away from the smell of human blood on her first hunting trip and later, restrain herself from attacking her father. This made her believe that her self-control was her extra gift until Eleazar found out about her true gift. Bella appears to be talented at being a vampire, even saying that she felt like she was born to be one, and is very graceful in her new state.
In Breaking Dawn, Bella can detect minor changes in Renesmee's physical appearance, such as her hair growing a couple of millimeters.
Mental Shield
- Main article: Mental Shield
- "In truth, categorizing talents is a subjective, haphazard business; every talent is unique, never exactly the same thing twice. But you, Bella, are fairly easy to classify. Talents that are purely defensive, that protect some aspect of the bearer, are always called shields."
Her special gift is to shield her and those around her from other vampires' talents that affect the mind (such as Edward's and Aro's telepathy, Jane's illusionary pain, Alec's sensory paralysis, Eleazar's ability identification, Kate's electric shock, and Zafrina's illusion), which explains why most of their powers were useless against her when she was still human. This power comes from her subconscious desire to protect her mind, and as long as she holds on to that desire, it makes the shield more difficult to extract. In Breaking Dawn, Bella uses her shielding power as a giant dome to protect her family and friends when the Volturi attempt to make a move on them, when she was enraged by Edward facing danger alone and she is forced to stay behind (with an antagonistic smile emitted from Jane to push her anger further). As long as she is free of her desire to protect herself, she is able to shape her shield in any way she wants. When she shields others, her mind will form an extra shield to protect herself. Those she shields will also become a part of her, allowing her to feel them in her range without having to look. Bella can also remove her shield completely and let vampires' mental powers work on her if she so chooses, though it is more difficult than pushing it out.
Though her shield is powerful, it has great limitations: it has no effect against a physical attack, which makes it easy for an enemy to invade her intangible shield and use his power on those she protects. It also has no effect on Alice's power of premonition and Jasper's power to affect her mood, and Benjamin's power to control the elements. The only person who is truly immune to her shield is Renesmee, as she picked up her ability and twisted it to penetrating shields.
Aro, the leader of the Volturi who "collects" vampires with powerful talents, was so intrigued that Bella could block out mental powers (even as a human) that he twice offered her a place among his guard. She refused both times. Because her shield, Bella is considered to be one of the most powerful vampires alive.
- Main article: Relationships
Bella is the wife of Edward Cullen and the mother of Renesmee Cullen, as well as the daughter of Charlie Swan and Renée Dwyer and the stepdaughter of Phil Dwyer and the daughter-in-law of Edward and Elizabeth Masen. She is the adoptive daughter-in-law of Carlisle and Esme Cullen and the adoptive sister-in-law of Alice and Emmett Cullen, and Rosalie and Jasper Hale. She is also the granddaughter of Geoffrey and Helen Swan, as well as Marie Higgenbotham.
Edward Cullen
- Main article: Edward Cullen
- "About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was a part of him - and I didn't know how potent that part might be - that thirsted for my blood. And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him."
- ―Bella on Edward Cullen[src]
Bella's husband is Edward Cullen, a vampire who has renounced drinking the blood of humans. When they first realize their feelings for each other, Bella loves him unconditionally, believing Edward to be absolutely perfect, and does not consider herself worthy of his love. She often describes him as god-like in appearance, like the Greek hero Adonis, and hopes that by becoming a vampire she will become beautiful and graceful like him and his family, the Cullens. Edward disapproves of this and always reassures her that she is more than worthy, and has his heart. Bella sometimes thinks of Edward as an angel. Edward proposes to Bella in New Moon and she eventually accepts in Eclipse, looking down on the prospect of marriage but not entirely opposed to it. As part of a deal with Edward, she promises to marry him if he promises to make love with her and then change her into a vampire. She sees this as the only part of the marriage to look forward to.In Breaking Dawn, the fourth book in the series, Bella overcomes her fear of marriage and happily marries Edward, becoming Bella Cullen. During their honeymoon on a private island, Isle Esme, Edward and Bella consummate their marriage and conceive a child—a vampire hybrid child. During the birth, complications occur and Edward, after delivering their baby via caesarian section, is forced to inject Bella with his venom, thereby changing her into a vampire, to save her life.
After Bella's transformation, she and Edward become equals and can experience a vastly easier life, though they find it very hard to satisfy their sexual desire for each other. At series end, Bella and Edward live happily together, presumably forever, as husband and wife with their daughter, Renesmee.
At the end of the book, Bella learns to remove her shield and let Edward read her thoughts for the first time, which brings them closer together.
Jacob Black
- Main article: Jacob Black
- "Why wasn't I stopping this? Worse than that, why couldn't I find in myself even the desire to want to stop? What did it mean that I didn't want him to stop? That my hands clung to his shoulders, and liked that they were wide and strong? That his hands pulled me too tight against his body, and yet it was not tight enough for me?
The questions were stupid, because I knew the answer: I'd been lying to myself.
Jacob was right. He'd been right all along. He was more than just my friend. That's why it was so impossible to tell him goodbye - because I was in love with him. Too."
- ―Bella's thoughts, while kissing Jacob[src]
Jacob Black, a Quileute and the son of Charlie Swan's friend, Billy Black, is Bella's best friend since she came to live in Forks. He falls in love with Bella after some time and spends a lot of time with her during the period of Edward's absence. While Edward was away, Bella found that Jacob's presence soothed the "hole" in her chest that resulted from Edward leaving her. Being around Jacob brought a measure of happiness back to Bella's life, though he was unable to replace Edward. Bella felt that Jacob was a good friend, and that he was her own "personal little sun" which would beam happiness in every direction wherever he went. When Jacob underwent his transformation into a werewolf, it put a distance in their friendship.
In Eclipse, Jacob acts upon his romantic feelings for Bella, and tries to convince her to leave Edward for him. Jacob thinks that, since he is more human than Edward, he will be safer for Bella to have a relationship with. Edward sees this, but is still willing to fight for her. Jacob forcefully kisses Bella, resulting in her punching him, breaking her hand and almost ending their friendship. Sometime later, Jacob overhears that Bella and Edward are engaged and makes Bella kiss him, saying that if she doesn't he will get himself killed. She does so, and realizes that she is in love with Jacob. But Bella soon realizes that her love for Jacob is not as strong as her love for Edward. She later tells Jacob that she has chosen Edward over him, breaking his heart.
A devastated Jacob remains at odds with Edward and Bella after this. Eventually, Jacob imprints on Edward and Bella's daughter, Renesmee, ridding him of his heartache for Bella. Bella and Edward were furious and, after hearing that he nicknamed her Nessie, after the Loch Ness Monster, Bella lost control of her anger and tried to kill Jacob. But she soon regained self-control, and Bella, Edward, and Jacob made peace. She comes to accept Jacob's imprinting on Renesmee, and they remain close friends.
Renesmee Cullen
- Main article: Renesmee Cullen
- "I love you, too... more than my own life."
- ―Bella to Renesmee[src]
Renesmee is Bella and Edward's biological daughter, conceived on Isle Esme in Breaking Dawn. The mothers of this particular kind of children has never survived the pregnancy. Knowing this, Edward tries to convince Bella to save her life by having an abortion, but Bella refuses, as she has come to love the child. Edward's hatred ceases when he hears her thoughts to find that the child already loves her parents, and is trying harder not to hurt her mother. After a painful childbirth and transformation, Bella learns that Jacob has imprinted on Renesmee, angering her. She later accepts it when she learns Jacob's imprinting is involuntary, and that Renesmee loves Jacob as well. Before the arrival and judgement of the Volturi, Bella gives Renesmee a golden locket (inscribed with the words "plus que ma propre vie" which means "more than my own life" in French). Bella puts her love for her daughter on an equal level as her love to Edward.
Renée Dwyer
- Main article: Renée Dwyer
Renée is Bella's mother. Bella is very close to her mother, though she sometimes feels like she is the mother and Renée is the child. Her mother has always put her relationships with men first, although has been very clear that she wants Bella to remain independent. Bella was born in Forks but raised in Phoenix with her mother, as Renée left Charlie soon after Bella was born.
When she first moved back to Forks, Renée is the main reason, as she renders unhappy everytime her new husband, Phil Dwyer, is away due to his job. She then decides to move back to Forks so that her mother wouldn't have to stay home with her.
She visits her mother in Eclipse after Edward talks her into using the plane tickets she'd got from his parents, and finds herself in torment as her days as a human are shortening by the day. Despite being childish and naive, Renée loves her very much and wishes her to be happy.
She supports her daughter's choice to marry young wholeheartedly when she first tells her about the engagement, despite she has great dislike to young marriage, and attends her daughter's wedding. After Bella was changed into a vampire and has a daughter with Edward, she decides to keep these facts hidden from Renée to protect, as these facts are not easy to accept to the fainthearted. Also, she combines her name with Esme's, naming her newborn granddaughter "Renesmee"; in honor of her mother and mother-in-law.
Charlie Swan
- Main article: Charlie Swan
Charlie Swan is Bella's father. Bella's relationship with her father is also very odd. After Renée took her away to Phoenix, the only times Bella would see Charlie was in the summer. Even at a young age it became clear that Bella hated Forks, and when she visited Charlie would take her fishing, which Bella also hated. Bella moved to Forks to live with her father in Twilight to give her mother space with her new husband, Phil. She finds it much easier to live with her father, since he respects her privacy. Her father is very protective and therefore very suspicious of Edward Cullen, for having caused great emotional pain to his daughter. Among other "Bella moments" he has shown great concern for her when she has been in the hospital for her broken leg, in Twilight, and a check-up.
After Bella became a vampire and mothered a half-vampire half-human child, Jacob told Charlie about the mystical world to keep the Cullens in Forks. Though Charlie was shocked by the sudden information, he adjusts it very quickly and demands to be told as little as possible about the supernatural in order to keep Bella and her in-law family in Forks. Renesmee's middle-name of "Carlie" is derived from a combination of Carlisle and Charlie to honnor them.
Carlisle Cullen
- Main article: Carlisle Cullen
Carlisle Cullen is Bella's adoptive father-in-law. Carlisle loved Edward so much that he wished for him to find happiness that he was lacking, which pleased him very much when Bella became a part of his family.
In the movie of New Moon, Bella comforts him that he cannot be damned to be a vampire. Renesmee's middle-name of "Carlie" is derived from a combination of Carlisle and Charlie to honnor them.
Esme Cullen
- Main article: Esme Cullen
Esme Cullen is Bella's adoptive mother-in-law. Esme loved Edward so much that she wished for him to find happiness that he was lacking. When he fell in love with Bella, Esme discovered the change in him and was grateful to her for it.
She agrees to let Bella become one them during a family assembly in New Moon.
Bella combines her name with her mother's to name her daughter "Renesmee" in honor of her mother and Esme.
Alice Cullen
- Main article: Alice Cullen
- "I love you like you were my own sister.
To me, Alice, you are my sister."
- ―Alice and Bella on each other.[src]
Alice Cullen is Bella's adoptive sister-in-law. Aside from Edward and Renesmee, she is the closest to her in the Cullen family. Alice has been eager to become her friend after she saw their united future, she eventually gets her wish after Bella became romantically involved with Edward. Alice likes to dress her up and provide any kind of fashion to make her look pretty, although Bella dislikes the idea of fashion.
Bella allows Alice to arrange her wedding after her endless pleading and made her maid of honor, although she retains veto-power on the guest list.
When the Volturi prepare to end their family, Alice runs away with Jasper but leaves clues for Bella to find a lawyer named Jason Jenks to help her arrange legal paperwork for Renesmee to escape. Alice and Jasper return with a half-vampire, half-human hybrid named Nahuel. They arrive just on time to prevent the confrontation from turning into an ugly fight and save their family from slaughter. That same night, Bella angrily confronts her for leaving her cryptic clues that caused her endless mental pain.
Rosalie Hale
- Main article: Rosalie Hale
- "You have a choice. I didn't. None of us did, but you do and you're choosing wrong."
- ―Rosalie to Bella's decision[src]
Rosalie Hale is Bella's adoptive sister-in-law. Rosalie initially disliked her for the attention she was receiving from Edward, and later for wanting to become a vampire; something she would never have considered if she'd had a choice. Her dislike of Bella began to warm up a little bit after she risked her life to save Edward from committing suicide, but still wanted her to remain human.
Rosalie tells her life story to Bella in Eclipse, hoping to make her consider her options before making her decision. Although she still chose immortality over mortality, Rosalie volunteered to help do Bella's hair on her wedding day.
When Bella was pregnant with Renesmee, she asked Rosalie to be her guardian. After Bella gave birth to Renesmee, they shared genuine love to the baby and became close sisters.
Emmett Cullen
- Main article: Emmett Cullen
- "Bad-ass. You're gonna make one tough as a newborn."
- ―Emmett on Bella[src]
Emmett Cullen is Bella's adoptive brother-in-law. Bella found him intimidating but fine to be around.
When Edward saved Bella from a car accident, Emmett was upset that he had exposed their family, but quickly warmed up to her involvement after finding out that Edward had fallen in love with her. He likes to make Bella blush.
After she became a vampire, she challenged Emmett in an arm-wrestling match and won the right to prohibit him from joking about her sex life with Edward. He demanded several rematches, only to fail. When he is put in charge with training Bella, she quotes that he's using the opportunity as vendetta.
Jasper Hale
- Main article: Jasper Hale
Jasper Hale is Bella's adoptive brother-in-law. Jasper wanted to kill Bella, after Edward his strength and speed by saving her, but Jasper waited until the Cullens had a talk about it, and in the talk Alice says that Bella is going to be her friend, and convinced Jasper to leave her alone. Jasper initially disliked Bella for her involvement to the family, but later warms up to her. In New Moon, Jasper lost control of his bloodlust and tried to attack Bella, but Edward and Emmett were able to stop him.
He votes in her favor to become one of them, partly because he wants to stop the constant urge to kill her.
They become closer to each other after Bella became a vampire. He initially expected her to act like any newborn vampire; vicious and uncontrollable by thirst, and was always near her side to immobilize her; however, to his surprise, she is very controlled of her new instincts. This allows him to re-evaluate his view on newborns.
Angela Weber
- Main article: Angela Weber
Angela Weber, kind and shy yet insightful, was among the human friends Bella made after moving to Forks. Although she is a minor character in the books, she becomes Bella's best human friend, comforting Bella in her depression in New Moon and attending Bella's wedding in Breaking Dawn. Bella always finds Angela better to be around rather than Jessica, though she would avoid her sometimes to save her worries. In Breaking Dawn, Angela is the one who catches Bella's wedding bouquet at her reception. Also, Angela appears in a nightmare Bella had in Breaking Dawn as one of the victims of an immortal child who kills Bella's mother, father, Mike Newton, Ben Cheney, Angela's boyfriend, and Jessica Stanley, who has an on and off relationship with Mike. Angela has a younger brother whom she adores.
Mike Newton
- Main article: Mike Newton
- "You and Cullen, huh? You and the freak. I guess, if a rich guy is that important to you...
I gritted my teeth at his degrading assumption.
That's none of your business, Mike.
Defensive. So it's true. Crap. I don't like it.
You don't have to, she snapped.
Why can't she see what a circus sideshow he is? Like they all are. The way he stares at her. It gives me chills to watch.
"He looks at you like… like you're something to eat."
Mike Newton is a generically popular boy at Bella's new high school who is instantly attracted to Bella. He is friendly and Bella thinks he possesses traits like a golden retriever: his happiness and loyalty in walking her to class and speaking with her every day. Mike frequently tries to ask Bella out, but she always declines. He becomes jealous when he realizes that Bella and Edward Cullen are dating.
In New Moon, after a movie date with Bella, Jacob and Mike, Mike has seemingly given up on Bella, and tells her that "girls are cruel". Mike develops a new romantic relationship with Jessica Stanley when he accepts that Edward is Bella's boyfriend. In "New Moon", Bella tries to rekindle their friendship after four months of "being a zombie" after the Cullens leave Forks. Mike becomes her friend again, although not with the same enthusiasm and also never forgets his fondness of Bella.
Mike apparently never got over his infatuation for Bella. At Edward and Bella's wedding reception, Edward commented that Mike was having improper thoughts about her again.
Tyler Crowley
- Main article: Tyler Crowley
After nearly killing Bella in a car accident, Tyler feels obliged to make things even. After Bella declines, insisting that she must be in Seattle that day, he insists on taking her to prom. He tells the whole school and convinces most of the students that he is taking Bella to prom, much to her annoyance. He shows up at Bella's house on prom night, only to be told over the phone by Edward that she would be unavailable every night as far as anyone but himself was concerned.
Eric Yorkie
- Main article: Eric Yorkie
Eric, like Mike Newton, immediately took an interest in Bella when she arrived in Forks. Bella described him as being the "overtly eager" chess club type, and he was one of the three boys (Mike, Tyler and himself) who asked Bella to the spring dance, though she declined all three. He develops a rivalry with Mike Newton, and later a dislike for Tyler as well. His friendship sways and mostly falls after Bella goes through a depression in the absence of Edward and the rest of the Cullen family. He later develops a romantic relationship with a redheaded junior by the name of Katie Marshall, who lives next door to Bella, as stated in New Moon.
Jessica Stanley
- Main article: Jessica Stanley
Jessica has an on and off friendship with Bella, particularly since Edward and Bella started dating. She was 'practically' the first person Bella had a full conversation with in school as well as being her first friend, although Bella initially disregarded her as "superficial". Jessica sometimes hangs out with Lauren, and gets overtly excited, such as on graduation day, where she states that they were friends right away, even though at one point she ignores Bella. She was a guest at Bella and Edward's wedding. Jessica has an on and off relationship with Mike, though seemingly jealous of Mike's affection towards Bella.
Bella and Jessica are closer in the movie adaptations than in the books.
Bella has received negative reception from critics.
Publishers Weekly states that, after her transformation into a vampire, "it's almost impossible to identify with her" in Breaking Dawn.
Lilah Lohr of the Chicago Tribune compares Bella's character to the story of the Quileute wolves and describes it as "less satisfying."
During Twilight, Kirkus Reviews stated that "Bella's appeal is based on magic rather than character", but that her and Edward's "portrayal of dangerous lovers hits the spot." In the review of New Moon, Kirkus Reviews said that Bella's personality was "flat and obsessive."
Laura Miller of salon.com said, in regards to Edward and Bella, "neither of them has much personality to speak of."
Entertainment Weekly's Jennifer Reese, in her review of Breaking Dawn noted, in regard to Bella, "You may wish she had loftier goals and a mind of her own, but these are fairy tales, and as a steadfast lover in the Disney princess mold, Bella has a certain saccharine appeal", and that during Bella's pregnancy "she is not only hard to identify with but positively horrifying, especially while guzzling human blood to nourish the infant."
Washington Post journalist Elizabeth Hand noted how Bella was often described as breakable and that "Edward's habit of constantly pulling her onto his lap or having her ride on his back further emphasize her childlike qualities", continuing to write that "the overall effect is a weird infantilization that has repellent overtones to an adult reader and hardly seems like an admirable model to foist upon our daughters (or sons)."
Gina Dalfonzo, in an article posted on the National Review website, calls Bella "self-deprecating" before her transformation into a vampire, and afterwards she is "insufferably vain." Dalfonzo also states that Bella gets what she wants and discovers her worth "by giving up her identity and throwing away nearly everything in life that matters."
Bella is a short form of Isabella. Bella means "beautiful" in Italian, perhaps referring to Edward's vision of her as the most beautiful thing he has ever come across his 100 years of existence. Isabella is the Latinized Isabel with is the Medieval Provençal form of Elizabeth which means "My God is an Oath". Stephenie Meyer said on her website that Isabella is the name she had planned to name her daughter, if she had one.
Film portrayal
On November 16, 2007 it was announced that Kristen Stewart was to play the role of Bella in the Twilight film. Meyer stated that she was "very excited" to see Stewart play the part.[5][6] She reprised her role in both New Moon and Eclipse, and will be returning in Breaking Dawn.

By the early 70s, her film career was petering out, but she found renewed success as a stage actress, appearing in the title role of "Peter Pan" (1969-70) and Chekhov's "Three Sisters" (1970). After giving birth to her first child, she returned to the stage in "A Touch of Spring" (1975-76), which introduced her to Leigh Lawson, with whom she had a romantic relationship and a second son. For much of the next two decades, Mills concentrated on stage work winning praise for her work in "Talley's Folly" (1982) and "Toys in the Attic" (1985).

Hello OmegaRasengan, greetings and welcome to the Narutopedia! Thanks for your edit to the Current Mizukage page.
We do hope that you will stay for a long time. Enjoy your stay as we work to become the best Naruto info site out there. BELIEVE IT!
If you're looking for something to do why not look over the Forums or more specifically Narutopedia Collaboration for a list of projects we're working on. And the Community portal has a lot of recent discussions and places to go listed on it.
Please leave a message on my talk page if I can help with anything! -- Jacce (Talk) 13:20, 16 July 2009
It is not specified that there weren't any other mizukage between the 4th and her.
New releases are recognized on this wiki the Friday of when it is released, regardless of when it was actually released overseas.
Is at the top of every article when someone goes to edit.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 14:39, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
Re: smart one
When you edit a page, it clearly says no spoilers until Friday. Rules are rules. Jacce | Talk 14:42, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
Lets make it simple so there are no mistakes: Follow the rules on this wiki or be blocked from it. Jacce | Talk 14:48, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
RE: Stop
I don't have to put something on myself, when I can just edit the incoherent additions typical annons put up to make them readable and in Wiki style. Point is however, as Jacce said, rules iz rules.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 14:44, November 26, 2009 (UTC)
Jutsu Page Creation
The proper way to create a jutsu page is Special:SpecialPages -> Special:Forms -> Form:Jutsu. Simant (talk) 17:54, November 29, 2009 (UTC)
- It is unnecessary to include Category:Jutsu at the bottom of jutsu pages, the infobox does that on its own. Simant (talk) 03:22, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
- It is also unnecessary to add category characters, while using the character infobox. Simant (talk) 03:34, December 2, 2009 (UTC)
Re: I apologize
No problem, it usually is hard at the beginning, before the rules becomes clear. Jacce | Talk 22:59, December 5, 2009 (UTC)
Being apart of a clan...
Doesn't mean they have it as their surname. Kimimaro isn't Kimimaro Kaguya. Tsunade of the Senju clan isn't Tsunade Senju.--TheUltimate3 (talk) 05:21, December 11, 2009 (UTC)
Chakra Natures
An administrator is currently fitting your images into the articles so I will oppose no further on this matter. I also ask for your forgiveness, I am rather sensitive to editing on the articles concerning the five basic natures. User:Master Shannara December 16, 2009
- Crystal was long ago agreed to be part Earth in past discussions, hence why it is listed as being part Earth in the nature transformation page. I listed Guren with Earth because of that, to uphold consistency of information between articles. As you can see from the time I added Earth nature to her page and the message I left in her talk page, there was more than enough time for anyone who disagreed with it to step forward. No one did, not a person voiced opposition, so I went ahead and changed it. If you don't like it, convince the rest of the community not to consider Crystal Release as part Earth and I'll remove that from her page, but for now, consistency between articles is all I care about.

Ultimate Ninja Storm
Are you aware that Ultimate Ninja Storm, despite being an English game, gives Japanese names for its jutsu? The Japanese (or literal English) should be used for jutsu article titles, not the English translations. ~SnapperTo 18:56, January 5, 2010 (UTC)

Tatsuhiro Clan
Did you find any source saying that Kuroma and Akari's names actually had the clan name in them?

Living Wall Fist: Style One
You're not being able to move the page because it already exists as a redirect to Living Wall Fist. Normally, that wouldn't be a problem (I think), but when a redirect has an edit history, or wasn't created by an article being moved, you have to delete it first, so the "new" article can have the edit history of the other article that is being moved to the new title.

Anything else on the new Omake trailer, the one in which Konohamaru uses Shuriken Shadow Clone? Btw, can you give me the link? Omnibender - Talk - Contributions 02:35, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

I am not the one who creates the pages. I wasn't the user who originally added the deletion tag. If you want it to stay, use talk page so others can give their opinion. I personally don't think it is necessary, as it can simply be mentioned in the hydrification technique article instead of creating another unnamed jutsu article.—This unsigned comment was made by Deva 27 (talk • contribs) .
Rushing on creating
I understand your point, particularly on Cerez365, who is in my opinion the most active member of the wikia, always doing something, always here when i check in. I also used to be a little annoyed but, this is a community and we are all trying to achieve the same goal.--Vecanoi (talk) 18:06, September 28, 2011 (UTC)
In regards to characters from ch. 305
I saw that you had edited the page of Unmo Samidare and I was wondering if you planned to add the two other deceased nin from the same chapter (305) on page 10 panel 3 on a later date? Should be possible since we can clearly see their names spelled over their pictures.

Re: Tobi article
Oh, I'm sorry then. The way it was written though made it sound like it all happened with Tobi in the treetops. Next time you can simply edit the article, there's no need to leave a message on my talkpage for something like this.

Rock Lee no Seishun Full-Power Ninden
Could you please explain to me why it's strange that a spin-off series takes place in a different setting than the one currently in the original? Neither manga is affiliated with the other except through the fact that they share the same characters.--Cerez365™ 10:50, January 10, 2012 (UTC)
Flying Thunder God Technique trivia
Uhm. I removed the trivia point simply because it's not necessary. Minato's whole fighting style (in the games as well as the manga and anime) revolves around him using the Flying Thunder God Technique (hence the name) and then attacking persons — which might be one of the reasons the Rasengan doesn't require the use of hand seals. Why does something that obvious need to be mentioned in the article?
As for the whole top dog bit and your caps lock rave, it's taking every ounce of restraint I possess not to address that, so please try to act/respond more civilly. Thanks in advance.--Cerez365™ 00:27, March 12, 2012 (UTC)
Naruto 6: Road to Ninja
Hi Omega, how do you do? I'd like to ask you where did you watch the second trailer of the movie? I didn't find it at all, even the official website of this movie hasn't released it. Thanks for your help ^__^ Shakhmoot (Talk) 19:02, April 6, 2012 (UTC)
Re: No life
It's really taking every ounce of self-restraint I have in this attempt not to be rude to you:
- First of all what edit are you referring to? I haven't undone any of your edits in a while. I made the conscious decision not to do that for some time now. You might want to go and check who it was that undid your edit.
- Where I am for whatever portion of a day/my time is none of your concern since I am not bonded to you.
- It's only because you think I'm high and mighty why I am. Try thinking of me as below you and all that will change.
- If Deva's just like me, then he must be a lovely individual.
- I am not a dictator, I'm a Gemini.
--Cerez365™(talk) 18:24, April 22, 2012 (UTC)
I also would like to know what edits ur talking about.--Elveonora (talk) 20:36, April 23, 2012 (UTC)
I never said that you were making up things. But I still think that your edit contains hasty information, because, as I said, the movie isn't released yet.--Spcmn (talk) 18:57, July 26, 2012 (UTC)
I get the fact that you don't like me or what have view since you feel I dog your edits. While that's fine and all I will ask you to kindly stop being an ass and act as though you're an independent component of the wikia instead of part of a community. People are saying they're unsure of how to proceed with things and you go right on ahead and start replacing Tobi with Obito in jutsu articles. Is it that you don't have access to Special:WikiActivity like the rest of us or something? --Cerez365™(talk) 14:03, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
- Same...Please don't replace Tobi with Obito and wait till our discussion is over...You may well respond to us in the forum created by Cerez. akz! 14:05, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
Maybe I wouldn't be an ass if you STOP ACTING like something YOU'RE NOT and quit stalking my edits now would I? Notice how majorly you are the only one to undo my edits? Some others don't seem to have an issue with my edits but most edits you see that aren't yours is useless. And I know you two are responding to me because you two don't want anyone to beat you to the punch and I know both of you are going to hurry on and change everything before someone else does once this is over because you two always have to hurry to make an edit before someone beats you to it. --OmegaRasengan (talk) 14:28, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
- It's funny the way you expect people to take you seriously. You constantly have a problem with anyone who troubles your edit in one way or another. You used to complain about the same thing with Deva and Omni like a deranged person. Now you're lumping Aditya in with me as well. Omega, if you want more to do on the wiki, all you have to do is ask, or lead the charge. Pointing fingers has gotten you nowhere thus far, you need to come with a new strategy. God knows I'd die if someone beats me to an edit. I would just whilt and die...--Cerez365™(talk)14:36, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
- I could care less if Omni and everyone else undo my edits. Know why? Cuz they act like you and Deva who did it to feel superior and like Aditya making adding new stuff like a race. And since when did I complain about Omni messing with my edits? --OmegaRasengan (talk) 14:50, August 29, 2012 (UTC)
hayate revived what?
Maybe I just got it wrong, but wut?--Elveonora (talk) 15:57, November 6, 2012 (UTC)
Chikara arc
Hi Omega and how are you? I wonder where did you get all the information about the story of this coming filler arc. I saw the promotion video (PV) of this arc about a week ago on its official website. but I haven't found a subbed version of it. —Shakhmoot (Talk) 20:19, November 6, 2012 (UTC)

If both Paypal AND Google reject your card, it's probably something as mundane as typing "123 Mystreet, #2" instead of "123 Mystreet, Unit 2" (or whatever is on file). It's retarded I know, but that's just how it is.
Another possibility is that the card has been flagged for "suspicious activity" - which is done for your own protection when there's a lot of purchases in a short time span being posted through different payment gateways. You'll have to contact the issuing bank to have it corrected. Honestly, you're much better off not providing your details directly to each website each time you buy something anyway..

Ive been tinkering with a blog about childbirth for days.
Its the hardest thing Ive ever written.
I dont know where to start or what to say, and Im really not sure what people are interested in knowing.
Do they care I was excited enough to do a Carlton Banks dance when my son was born?
Do they want to know tears of joy poured down my face when the boy arrived (the sex was a surprise, but I would have cried anyway)?
And is there an appetite for details about the magic of an epidural or the beautiful help one nurse provided?
Besides, how do you sum up your childs entry into the world, and how precious every second of it was, without making readers gag with sentiment? (Granted some may be interested in knowing there was no repeat of what happened in the obstetrician's office a few months ago. I stuck around for the whole thing and only felt queasy once.)
And, in a blog about birth, do you mention how helpless you felt as your wife pushed and pushed with all her might for hours?
Do you write about the euphoria that permeated the case room when the young one finally decided to join us after 15 hours of labour (even the doctors and nurses were bubbling with joy?)
Who knows what people want to know about this topic? Not me, for sure. Ive written about thousands of topics, but this one like being a dad is brand new.
However, its such a significant thing I feel compelled to write about it, if only to make a few points.
Perhaps people care to read and/or remember that everyone enters the world through a magical and wondrous event that showcases how amazing the human body is.
Maybe readers care or need to be reminded that all babies enter the world accompanied by hope and dreams.
And folks may want to remember and realize how precious every child is even when he pees on you a 3:11 a.m.

Planned Parenthood of New York City [PPNYC] posted advice for fellow pro-aborts heading off to family dinners for Thanksgiving.
Who knew the prospect of talking about abortion over turkey struck fear in pro-aborts?
While most families will have disagreements, and we are still living in a country where people have the freedom to express their disagreements, the inferences in PPNYC's article were interesting.
Pro-lifers have long included abortion in the list of human rights violations occurring around the world. As the unborn child is a person just like the rest of us and deserving of the same rights, the killing of a person – born or unborn – should inspire the same reaction.
So it's interesting when pro-aborts try to turn that reasoning back around. How would you finish PPNYC's suggested "springboard" sentences, as a pro-abort?
"I believe every child should be wanted… so kill all the unwanted."
"In the world I want to see, parents are… free to kill the unborn, especially if the child is disabled, female or likely to be poor."
"In the world I want to see, abortion is… used to further eugenics in our society, to wipe out the disabled and the poor."
Of course, there is the unspoken implication that pro-aborts are young professionals, heading home to their out-of-touch relatives for Thanksgiving. This, despite the research and polls showing Americans are more pro-life than ever.
Pro-lifers must be doing something right, if Planned Parenthood of New York City has to reassure and reeducate its members on how to effectively communicate!

The side mission can be failed by ending the side mission, leaving or destroying the Ambulance, or by killing one patient, which can occur after numerous bumps (which hurts the patient) or running over patients. Failing the paramedic side mission results in the player having to start from the first level, except in GTA Vice City Stories and GTA Advance, where the player can resume from the last checkpoint.
In GTA III, a level has to be completed in order for the "patients rescued" stat be updated. Not completing the level means no update to the stat even though patients are actually rescued.
In GTA Vice City Stories, there is a checkpoint at the end of levels 5 and 10. In GTA Advance - after each level. If the checkpoint has been passed but the mission is failed, the mission can be resumed from the checkpoint.
The Paramedic side-mission is absent in GTA IV and its episodes.

- Using the Ambulance's normal brakes is actually not recommended for this mission. Since the vehicle might automatically go into reverse after being stopped completely you can accidentally back over and kill a patient that is running up behind the Ambulance. To prevent this, use the normal brakes just to slow down, and then the handbrake to stop completely.
- Removing all the doors from the Ambulance before you start the mission allows the patients to enter the car much faster than if they would have to open and close the doors themselves.
- Be wary of old people, some of them move much slower than the other patients so parking up further away from them can waste precious time.
- In Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas the easiest way to complete this mission is to start it in either Fort Carson or Angel Pine, as they are small towns with a hospital so when picking up patients the hospital will be near, and the patients will usually be in close proximity to each other. However, the time allotted to pick up patients will be correspondingly less.
- Ambulances are not immune to wanted levels, so one must be careful not to hit police vehicles, or run over someone in view of the police, during the mission.
- In Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, the player can offload patients at any location, by performing a drive-by in either direction. If used in the proximity of a police officer or patient, it can give the player a one star wanted level, or kill the patient.
- In GTA III the side-mission is harder than in any other GTA III Era game. The Ambulance seems to be very big and very unstable when cornering (the player has to use the brakes almost at every corner). Also, some areas will be dangerous to enter the more you progress in the game as certain gangs will become hostile towards the player.
- Always keep the siren on during the whole mission. Cars will move to the side of the road which allows you to keep moving without stopping or risk injuring the patients. Be careful though as cops will not move out of the way.
- In GTA San Andreas, due to a glitch, two patients may sometimes spawn inside of each other while standing on the sidewalk. However, if the player drives the ambulance up to them, they may pop out of each other and enter the ambulance like normal.
- In GTA San Andreas, if you roll the ambulance onto its side for a period of time all patients will get out and no longer need to go to the hospital, when the ambulance rights itself you can carry on with the mission.
- On rare occasions in Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, patients may spawn in a location where they can't reach you such as the interior of a Well Stacked Pizza or in the ruins of the Haitian's destroyed warehouse.
- It is recommended that you complete the paramedic missions in the beginning of the game (complies to the GTA III Era) because when you do missions that involves killing gang members, they will attack you and they will likely pull you out of the Ambulance, thus failing the side-mission.

DURHAM, N.C. (AP) Rodney Hood scored a career-high 30 points Tuesday night to help sixth-ranked Duke beat East Carolina 83-74 in the NIT Season Tipoff.
Freshman Jabari Parker had 21 points and nine rebounds for the Blue Devils (4-1), who survived a tougher-than-expected fight from the underdog Pirates to improve to 24-2 all-time in the early season tournament.
Duke led by a single point with about 7 minutes left but stayed in front and did enough in the final 2½ minutes to turn away East Carolina (4-1).
The Blue Devils advanced to next week's semifinals in New York's Madison Square Garden.
Prince Williams scored 15 for the Pirates, who shot 40 percent but helped themselves by hitting the offensive glass for a 16-3 edge in second-chance points.
