DETAILED CHARACTER DESCRIPTION:
When Edward first meets Bella in Twilight he is overwhelmed by the scent of her blood, to the point of contemplating slaughtering Bella (and the entire class so as not to leave any witnesses).[1] To prevent calamity he runs away to Alaska, but eventually returns home to Forks. Determined not to allow the new girl to disrupt the life he and his family have created in Forks, Washington, Edward starts to converse with Bella in class. The day after his return, he risks exposing himself as inhuman by using his supernatural speed and strength to save Bella from being hit by a van. She witnesses his abilities and becomes suspicious, but Edward denies having done anything out of the ordinary. The two become friends and eventually fall in love. On a trip to the La Push reservation, Bella learns from Jacob Black that the Cullen family is supposedly a coven of vampires who existed during his great-grandfather's time, and who feed on animal blood.
Being with Edward is a lethal risk for Bella because he must constantly fight his desire for her blood. He constantly warns Bella against being with him, trying to instill in her a healthy fear for her life, which he perceives as continually at risk if she associates with him. However, Bella's love and confidence in Edward's restraint is such that his warnings fall on deaf ears, even after his worst fears are justified when, through her association with Edward and his family, Bella becomes the target of a "non-vegetarian" vampire, James. With his family's help, Edward is able to save Bella from James' predations, but the question of how to assure Bella's continued safety remains an open one.
During her birthday party Bella accidentally cuts herself, and his brother Jasper's instinctive hunger for Bella's blood reminds Edward of the continual danger their relationship puts her in. In a misguided attempt at protecting Bella, he convinces her that he does not love her anymore and leaves with his family. This hurt him very much but he was trying to protect her and be unselfish.
Although Edward lived as a vampire without romantic love for nearly a century before meeting Bella, he finds it difficult to live without her, becoming severely depressed at the prospect of an infinitely long and meaningless life. After mistakenly believing that Bella is dead, Edward attempts to convince a group of Italian vampires, the Volturi, to kill him. Together with his sister Alice, who has some prophetic ability, Bella rushes to Italy and stops Edward before the Volturi get him.
Realizing that their current situation– misery apart, fear for Bella's humanity while they are together– is untenable, Bella successfully seeks Edward's family's support for the idea of turning her into a vampire. Edward become furious at the thought of Bella losing her humanity in order to be with him, but later agrees to change her himself if she agrees to marry him first, which he knew that she'd be reluctant to do.
Edward explains that he is reluctant to change Bella into a vampire because he believes that vampires are soulless creatures who have no place in heaven. Bella, whose opinion of marriage is jaded by the early divorce of her own parents, agrees to marry Edward on the condition that they will consummate their marriage while she is still human.
Victoria is hunting Bella and creating new vampires to build an army. To combat this threat, a grudging truce is made between the Cullens and the Native-American werewolf pack led by Sam Uley and Jacob Black, a childhood friend of Bella's. However, the truce is endangered when Bella, despite her engagement to Edward, falls for Jacob as well. Ultimately, Edward accepts that Bella cares for Jacob and successfully destroys Victoria, and Bella acknowledges that Edward is the most important person in her life, agreeing to tell her father of her and Edward's engagement.
