Twilight Saga Characters

Bella Swan

Age: 17 in Twilight, 18 in New Moon and Eclipse

Parents: Charlie Swan, Renee Dwyer, Phil Dwyer(stepfather)

Born: September 13, 1987

Job: Student, part-time worker at Newton's Sporting Goods

Location: Forks, WA, USA


Potrayed by: Kristen Stewart

Description: "In my head, Bella is very fair-skinned, with long, straight, dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her face is heart-shaped—a wide forehead with a widow's peak, large, wide-spaced eyes, prominent cheekbones, and then a thin nose and a narrow jaw with a pointed chin. Her lips are a little out of proportion, a bit too full for her jaw line. Her eyebrows are darker than her hair and more straight than they are arched. She's five foot four inches tall, slender but not at all muscular, and weighs about 115 pounds. She has stubby fingernails because she has a nervous habit of biting them." --Stephenie Meyer

The loveable, stubborn, main character (and Edward's true love) was born in Forks and spent summers there as a child.  The rest of the time she was in Phoenix--with her mother and step dad, Phil.  Because Phil is a minor league baseball player and her mother, Renee, insists on traveling with him, Bella is shipped off to Forks once again, where she meets the charming, the only, Edward Cullen.
