Bella Swan - Twilight Heroine

Bella Swan is the heroine of the Twilight series by Stephenie Meyer.
"About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire. Second, there was 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 Swan

Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan.

Bella Swan

Age: 17 (Twilight), 18 (New Moon, Eclipse, Breaking Dawn)

Status: Human

Hair: Long, dark brown

Eyes: Brown

Height: 5'4"

Weight: 110 lbs. 

Abilities: Vampires with abilities to affect the mind cannot affect her (Edward, Jane, Aro); her gift will probably emerge when she becomes a vampire.

It's official. Bella's made her choice. Although at least 80% of people preferred Edward, there are still the die hard Jacob fans who wanted her to pick Jacob against all odds.

Places visited throughout the Twilight series.

SPOILER ALERT!!

Do you prefer Bella as a human or vampire?

anonymous: i never wanted her to be changed because i think it could possibly ruin the romance her and edward have together, but i'm going to ask this same question at my Breaking Dawn premier party where i'll give away 2 free Breaking Dawn tickets. it's going to be so much fun i can't wait!

anonymous: Human. At first I wanted her to be changed, but then I realized she's so much more interesting as a human. It's no longer The Lion and the Lamb. I preferred Bella as her usual, clumsy self. She had to give up her family and friends, which I disliked too. I thought it was cute, a vampire and a human. I guess the aging would really suck, but yeah...Less interesting as a vampire.

anonymous: HUMAN

pangaloon: Bella as a human.

Jessi: She sucks as a vampire..she was much more interesting as a human because she was much more daring since she knew she was a mortal..her vampire power even sucks haha.

gogolf162: Who wants to be a vampire?

solutum: well, as human she is way more interesting

ben-teen: Hard to say, have read the book but haven't yet seen her in a movie as a vampire. I think I prefer her as human but it was inevitable that she became a vampire

dahlia369: Human for sure!! :)

WindyWintersHubs: Human. I've only seen the 1st two movies.

kt_glasses: Staying human of course! I never believe that becoming a vampire is that awesome.

Missmerfaery444: Ooh, tough one! I have no objection to her being changed, it was inevitable and what she wanted, but I did love her as human Bella - blushes, clumsiness and all :)

lovrina: She had more charm as a human than as a vampire.

anonymous: as a Human.........I think she is best as a simple girl

anonymous: Definately preferred her as human... she was forbidden fruit for Edward and this made the chemistry more passionate, the wanting what you can't have scenario. once she became vampire i lost interest in the story, Edward became boring and Bella became selfish and kind of narcissistic.... like ''hey look at me, are'nt I beautiful?'' she was much more attractive when she was self effacing and insecure. she also turned nasty towards Jacob once she was a vamp!

anonymous: i think bella should be a humanbeing, because it is the speciality of their chemistry.

anonymous: I liked Bella better as a human because, to me, it was more interesting to read about how her and Edward had to control themselves. After she had Renesmee and was turned she changed a bit.

anonymous: I liked her more as a human. Becoming a vampire she changed a bit. But to be with Edward (and to live Jacob to me) she had to become a vamp.

anonymous: i think bella should be a vampire because she can do MORE things with edward.like running,hunting,getting attached without worring if bella gets hurt,ect. So i vote that bella should be a vampire. vampires are SOOOOOO much awesomer than humans can do so many other cooler things. anyhoo bela should be a vampire .seriosly im not joking! also GO TEAM EDWARD CULLEN! jacob and his pack are alright but EDWARD and his FAMILIY is better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO VAMPIRES!!

anonymous: I HATE U BELLA U SHOULD NOT BE A VAMP CAUSE UR SO PURRRFECTED I AM THE QUEEN OF VAMP SO WHAT I SAY GOES AND U CANT BE ONE

anonymous: I don't really know weather I won't her to be a vampire because I like edward and she is like really in love with him and she wants to spend the rest of her life with him. I still don't know wat i think though because I really love jacob. I think that is stuipid how there putting more of edward into twilight and taking some of jacob out because they think people don't like him but they do. luv ya BYE

dgtraders2u: Beautiful!

anonymous: she is SOooooooooo Beautiful....... I'll prefer as a Human sinceI'm a Human as well!!!1

anonymous: As a Human

anonymous: better human

anonymous: She was great as a human, and fascinating. But the series wouldn't have been complete unless she became a vampire!

florin87: Great lens

anonymous: i like Bella as human and as vampire. Great lens

anonymous: Vampire

anonymous: vampire

misscullenxx: I liked it when Bella tried to seduce Edward, and kept trying to convince him that he should change her into a vampire as well... But now she's a vampire and she's so gorgeous, and I think you shouldn't want to change that. (:

MissSweety: I prefer Bella as a vampire :)

anonymous: Trinity age 9 i say i'm glad she is a vampire because know she doesn't have to be scared and hide.

love4randomness1: As a vampire! I can't wait to see what she's gonna look like/act like!

anonymous: At first she was a human.but, after meeting ''EDWARD CULLEN'' I prefer her as a vampire..........

anonymous: vampire!!!!

anonymous: i prefer her as a vampire

anonymous: Vampire! now the collection is finally complete with some action! i love her as a vampire!

Jeannieinabottl1: Bella needed to become a vampire. She was always on the verge of death due to some accident or vampire attack. Bella is stronger as a vampire.

anonymous: Oh...Bella!!!!i am glad u became a vampire.....i have been hoping you will become one from the beginning......any way have a great time with Edward.....

anonymous: Oh Bella!!!!you should become a vampire for Edward's sake.....he is madly in love with you....i pity Edward in twilight when he declares his love for Bella and then says it was not safe for her to be with him......though that was what his heart desired.......a girl can give up even her life for Edward.......for you it is much more simpler......you just have to become a vampire and spend the rest of your life happily with him.....if you had been a vampire then Edward would not have left you in new moon....but i am glad you did not fall for Jacob......i am glad you became a vampire.....WISH YOU A HAPPY MARRIED LIFE BELLA CULLEN!!!!

anonymous: Vampire because it's well established that vampires are inherently beautiful to attract their natural food source--Humans--and as a human she just looks plain boring.

anonymous: vampire is so much better!!!GO TEAM BELLA!!!!!!!

anonymous: vampire she is way cooler!!

Robinharmony: vampire bella is way better, that's when she starts learning how to use your mind block thing to sheild everyone else. and that's when she can let edward hear her own thoughts.

anonymous: i prefer bella as a vampire she looks awesome like tht but honestly when shes a human she look boring thts y i cnt wait till i see breaking dawn i know tht movie wil be off the hook awesome cant wait hehe but seriously i prefer bella as a vampire

anonymous: i think she should be a vampire!!!! because when she give birth to renesmee she nearly die!!! and when she's breast feeding renesmee she sucks the blood of bella and bella becomes weak every time she breast feed her baby!!!! BELLA SHOULD BE COME A VAMPIRE FOR RENESMEE AND FOR EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOVE THE CULLENS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO EDWARD AND BELLA!!!!!!!!!!!!

anonymous: a vampire becouse y reed the book ad there she look like perfect and beautif vampire girl!!!

anonymous: i think she should be a vampire because i mean they could do so much more together like she could go hunting with edward ,she can run with him, lose control without getting hurt. they could do so much more things they can do together.so i vote VAMPIRE!!!!and also GO TEAM EDWARD!!!!!!!!!!!... if u have any commets just commet me back...

anonymous: Vampire she and edward will make such a CUTE Couple and edward can finaly love her more and lose control because he will not hurt her and they can be together and love each other without holding back. Basically so Edward can enjoy his time with Bella without having to hold himself back so the can both have a nice life together

anonymous: Vampire!!! It's the way it should be.

zapzidzone: A Vampire, Life is overrated!

zapzidzone: I love to see you as a Vampire, living is over rated.

anonymous: vamp all the way! she's more prettier and more interesting

BW Duerr: Gotta go with the love story with Edward. :D

BettyBroke: 100% Vampire!

lil_ana_b2: Vampire!

anonymous: she can be what ever she wants to be its her choice

anonymous: She should become human so that her and Edward can always be together,and love each other.Plus as Bella always say she thinks it would 'even out the field.'.

anonymous: Vampire-they have more fun! lol

anonymous: She should be Vamopire so her love for Edward lasts forever.

anonymous: i hope i becomes a vampire i love Edward so much with all my heart i want to become a vampire cause i know it would hurt him so much i wouldn't want to hurt him

anonymous: I think Bella should be a vampire so her and Edward can live together for the rest of their lives.

anonymous: Now Bella and Edward's true love can last for ever. hopefully Jacob stays away......

anonymous: vampire.. i understand how she feels about the butterflies n how he takes her breath. my husband does that to me.. but she happy so thats all that matters. she knew he was the one for the get go

anonymous: Vampires are so much hotter than humans, though i have golden brown eyes and people ask me if i'm a vampire since the books became popular, it doesn't help my name is alice and my auntie's last name is cullen...

anonymous: I prefer Bella as a vampire! If someone is going to hurt her then she is gonna bite them!

anonymous: Vampire is much better!!! She will live 4ever with her true love She has a big vampire family and a half-vampire half-human baby She isn't clumbsy anymore She is so beatiful! (I'll let something for the others to say too...)

anonymous: totally

anonymous: I think Bella was born to be a vampire! Now she´s happy, has got a beautiful child with the most beautiful guy ever. Isn´t it the dream of every young girl to meet someone like Edward and his wonderful family and never getting older? I love twilight!

anonymous: vampire all the way! now edward and her can have a normal relationship. again,to vampire to the maxx.

anonymous: both but if i had 2 choose it be vampire

anonymous: Vampire. -She is safer -Even though she almost died, she still has a baby -She gets to live forever with her one true love -She is able to have Jacob as her best friend -She looks beautiful -She has an amazing talent -She has a great family -Everyone needs a chance to be with the one they love //_^ I could probably come up with more reasons, but I am very sleepy. I absolutely love the Twilight series, and I think that Stephenie Meyer is a great woman to have come up with a great series. I also think that EDWARD IS A GOD...lol no one can compare with his beauty...i thought that the only one who should have played Edward in the first place is Edward himself!!!

anonymous: I honestly prefer bella as a vampire because ome(o my edward) shes safer being a vampire edward doesnt always have to be there protecting her!! she can live with edward and her family for eternity, she has an awesome power, and shes beautiful as a vampire and so much more!!! lova ya bella!!! Love edward more lol<3

anonymous: vampire!!!!! if she is going to be a vampire she can live with edward forever and stephenie meyer will never gonna stop making the saga of twilight..... i love twilight forever!!!!!!1

anonymous: Bella is awesome and so is Renesmee!!! i love Edward!!!

anonymous: OME OME OME. Can't say anything.

Bella reads all of these during the series, and the action of these works parallels what is going on in Bella's life.

From the Pride and Prejudice-like coming together through a series of misunderstandings and misinterpretations of feelings keeping the pair apart in Twilight, to the Romeo and Juliet star-crossed lovers story and close-to-tragic moment in New Moon, to the love triangle in Eclipse and its parallels to Wuthering Heights, the Twilight saga is an homage to these great love stories and works of literature.
