Bella Swan

Isabella "Bella" Marie Cullen (née Swan), was born to Charlie Swan and Renée Dwyer on September 13, 1987, and is the main protagonist of the Girl Meets World Series. In Twilight, she is a 17-year-old girl who transfers schools from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington to live with her father Charlie, where she meets and falls in love with a vampire, Edward Cullen.

As a human, Bella possessed a natural immunity to the mental powers of vampires. This ability stayed when she was transformed into a mermaid.

She is portrayed by Kristen Stewart.

Early life
Isabella Marie 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 only three months old. Renée took Bella with her to Downey, California, to live with her difficult grandmother, before moving to Riverside after her mother got her education degree and landed a job as a kindergarten teacher at a local school.

When Bella was six years old, they moved to Phoenix, Arizona. During most of her childhood, she would visit her father in Forks for one month every summer, and got acquainted with Rachel, Rebecca and Jacob Black, the children of Charlie's best friend, Billy Black, though they never became real friends. Bella found the climate in Forks unpleasant, though, and from 2002 onward, Charlie vacationed with her in California instead. She briefly took ballet and piano lessons, but quit them after some time because she found them too difficult.

Bella never fit in with her peers in California or Arizona. She had always had the feeling of being a little out of sync with everyone—including her mother, who was her best friend. While her mother was impractical, absentminded and liked to shift from one interest to the next, Bella grew up as the more responsible and independent individual. At an early age, she took over most of the household responsibilities. Sometimes, she would feel like she was the adult and Renée was the child.

During free time, she preferred to sit home and read, in part because she was extraordinarily clumsy. Her naturally responsible nature carried over into her schoolwork, where Bella was generally a straight-A student. Her plan for the future was to get a degree in education and teach, like her mother. Renee's career was the one thing that Bella truly respected. However, she intended to teach at the high school level.

When Bella noticed that Renée felt lonely due to the lack of romance in her life, she encouraged her mother to go on more dates. Eventually, Renée fell in love with and married a minor league baseball player named Phil Dwyer. Bella wasn't entirely fond of the idea, but nevertheless offered her blessing. They married in the same month that Bella turned 17. While Phil traveled around for his job, Renée stayed home with Bella; however, Bella, noticing her mother's unhappiness with this arrangement, chose to move in with her father in Forks so Renée could go on the road with Phil during baseball season, leading to the beginning of Twilight.

Twilight
At the beginning of Twilight, Bella moves back to her birth town of Forks, Washington, to live with her father, Charlie Swan, to let her mother, Renée Dwyer, travel with her new husband, Phil. She enrolls at Forks High School in the middle of her junior year. She does not notice the physical attraction she holds for the male students at the school, and 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, along with his adopted siblings, namely: 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; finally, Rosalie, his wife, who is a beautiful, self-absorbed woman. Due to Bella's uncanny ability to attract accidents, Edward finds himself often protecting her from various unlikely calamities, and finds himself growing extremely protective of her—to the point where even he admits he sometimes goes too far.

When Tyler Crowley's car almost hits Bella, Edward knocks her out of the way and shields her from the collision. Bella realizes that it would have been physically impossible for a ordinary human being to cross the distance to her in time—as Edward was four cars away from her a split-second before the truck would have crushed her—or hold back, much less push away, a pick-up truck with his bare hands. She confronts him in the hospital, but he dismisses her accusations in an unsuccessful attempt to throw her off the scent, instead leaving her more suspicious than ever.

During a trip down to La Push with her classmates, Bella encounters a family friend, Billy Black, who informs her that the Cullens are supposedly vampires according to his tribe's legend. However, they are different from other vampires in that they are "vegetarians", meaning they drink the blood of animals rather than of humans. Later, Edward rescues Bella from a gang of men in Port Angeles. During and after dinner, she and Edward converse about his abilities, namely his ability to read minds and her immunity to it. She also tells him about her theories on his true nature in an attempt to get him to divulge more information about himself. He merely finds these amusing, though he does all but admit to his mind-reading abilities and her immunity to them.

Edward and Bella get to know each other better, and he reveals that he has great difficulty being near her due to the unusually appetizing smell of her blood; he must constantly control his thirst, lest his vampiric instincts take over and drive him to slaughter 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 for sports; he was fascinated by Edward's protectiveness of a human. He tricks her into coming to her old ballet studio with the sound of her mother's voice, where he bites her wrist and almost transforms her into a vampire. But the Cullen family rush to Bella's aid and Edward manages to drain the venom out of her system before it was too late. They destroy James, 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.

Two months after James's demise, Edward takes Bella to their high school prom, despite her broken leg and angry protests. Tyler also tries to pick her up at her house, but Edward tells him that she is unavailable as far as everyone but he is concerned. There are high levels of tension as he turns to action, caused by Edward and Bella's differences of opinion about her becoming 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 on any condition, mortal or not. In the end, they put their arguments aside to enjoy the evening, but Bella knows the conversation is not over.

Girl Meets World
Bella is picked up by Edward one morning and notices that something is strange. She wants to know what it is wrong and discovers that Edward is leaving her for someone else. She's sad about this and becomes depressed. She doesn't do anything anymore except for homework, going to school, eating, drinking, and sleeping. One day, she sees Edward with someone else from school and is hurt, but also mad at him. She wants to take revenge, but doesn't know how. She tells her friends she wants to do something to forgot about him. Jessica comes with the idea to go to Center Parks in Belgium.

Bella arrives at the park Vossemeren and deides to take a swim with her friends in the pool. She meets Jacob Black and his girlfriend. She's annoyed by them being together and has a fight with his girlfriend. Later that day, Jacob confronts Bella at her cottage. Suddenly, he kisses her. The following day, Jacob breaks up with his girlfriend after she reveals the secret that he and Bella kissed. She vows to take revenge. Jacob imprints on Bella when he meets her again. Bella talks about Jacob with her friends. Yet, she talks too much about him and they are annoyed and make the decision to leave Bella behind. Jacob visits Jacob a while after and they share the bed. In the morning, Bella sees a wolf through her bedroom's window. She finds out about Jacob's secret: he's a werewolf.

Bella asks Jacob about what he's doing here and she runs off. She starts to wander around one of the lakes. Her clumsiness leads her to fall into the water. She's brutally drifted away to the shore of a little island in the lake. She falls into a hole and discovers a moon pool. The moon does something magical with the pool water. She finds a way out and goes back to her cottage. The next morning, she wants to take a shower, but is transformed into a mermaid. She isn't eager to share this with anyone else yet. She does agree with Jacob to keep his secret and they officially start a relationship. Bella explains her newest secret to him eventually and he's happy with it. During a date, Bella discovers her power to move water. The next morning, she discovers her heating power and that afternoon her freezing power.

Bella asks Jacob where the other werewolves are and she wants to meet them. Paul begins to bother her. Meanwhile, they are getting prepared for a possible battle. Bella prepares herself by practicing her powers, although it is not as easy as it seems. When she goes to the sauna to search something, her secret is almost revealed when someone locks her up into a sauna. Paul is accused of doing it, but it's actually Jared. Edward comes to the park and attacks Jacob with his bad vampire attitude, and his demands that Jacob arranges a meeting with Bella. When the ex-lovers meet again, Edward refuses to answer most of Bella's questions, but reveals that a war is coming. He has joined the local dangerous vampire coven there to become a real vampire (aka killing machine). Edward's dangerous actions lead Jacob and the pack to step in and help Bella deal with the situation.

After the conversation, they head back to the cottage. The next day, they know the battle has arrived. Everyone is busy with last-minute preparations. Jacob is uncomfortable with the appearance of Edward, but Bella is more concerned about Edward and the coven's plans. Finally, although the pack does it's best to stop him, Edward sets a plan in motion that brings the fun times to an end amid chaos, destruction and death. Edward is almost defeated when Bella comes in and joins the werewolves. Edward and his new vampire girlfriend run away. Jacob, Bella and the pack make preperations to head back home. While they wait for the cab to come pick them up, Bella and Jacob go for a walk and have a good talk. Bella and her friends are happy that everything is okay with her after her return. Jessica and Angela apologize for leaving her behind. Bella and Jacob make a promise to love each other until the end of time.

Physical appearance
Bella is described as having a very more paler complexion with long, firmer healthier straight, darker brown hair, a widow's peak, unique Honey-Brown-Black merged as Golden/black eyes and a sharper but powerful heart-shaped face with a wide forehead. Her eyes are large and widely spaced. Her nose is thin and her cheekbones are more prominent. Her lips are too full for her slim jawline. Her upswept eyebrows are darker than her hair and are straighter than they are slanted. The scent of her blood is incredibly attractive to vampires.

As for distinguishing features, Bella 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 it shines like a vampire's skin when exposed to the sunlight. Bella mostly prefers to wear shirts, jeans and sneakers everywhere she goes, as she lacks an interest in fashion.

In the films, Bella's hair is quite curly and wavy instead of straight.

Personality
Bella is described as being exceptionally clumsy, dropping and tripping over everything in sight, and so is easily described as the most fragile human in the world; however this changes when she is transformed into a mermaid. Bella is also described as reclusive, quiet, insecure but kind-hearted, compassionate and caring towards others. She also cares for the rest of the Cullen family, her father Charlie and mother Renée, and her friend Jacob Black. She has a tendency to underestimate the people around her mainly because of her concerns for their safety. Having learned to take care of her mother over the years and being naturally responsible, Bella had developed into a very mature person, especially for her age. Because she lacks any skill in anything noticeable as a human, she mostly prefers to spend her free time reading, especially classics, and listening to music.

When it comes to fashion, Bella is somewhat of a tomboy. 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 and look glamorous. She doesn't like spending money on luxurious items, and that fast cars are unnecessary. She hates being singled out, and doesn't like her birthday being celebrated. She also has very negative views on teen marriage due to her parents' early experience, but learns to overcome them later.

She prefers to keep her thoughts and feelings to herself and hates when someone tries to understand her, which is thought to be why Edward is unable to hear her thoughts. She is also known to be incredibly stubborn, because of her determination to become a vampire in order to be with Edward forever. She is also said to possess poor 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. She has a habit of biting her lip. Bella easily fainted at the sight or smell of blood, which she said smells like rust and salt in Twilight.

Bella has a sarcastic sense of humor, especially when she gets mad. She is also very brave, able to block painful thoughts and memories (hence her special ability), and tends to come face-to-face with life-threatening danger head-on, even though she can get scared later. She puts Edward before herself and everybody and everything else, but several 'selfish' tendencies emerge. Bella is also a very bad liar. Bella 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. She dislikes cold and wet climates, even snow, which is why she initially hated to live in Forks. However, after meeting Edward, she found the town much more comfortable, even calling it "home". When Edward left her, she initially wanted to leave the town, but was already so comfortable in Forks, that she decides to stay there. Bella inherited her mother's perceptiveness to some degree, as she was able to guess Edward was a mind reader, the first human to do so. However, she was not able to guess that Edward was in love with her.

Powers and Abilities
Bella possesses all the standard powers and abilities of a mermaid, like the ability to transform ten seconds after physical contact of water. Once her body is completely dry, she turns back into a human along with the outfit she was wearing before she transformed. As a mermaid, Bella possesses the ability to |swim at super speed of 600km/h, hold her breath for more than fifteen minutes, and possibly dive at a depth lower than any ordinary human being.

Next to those standard abilities, she has special powers:
 * Hydrokinesis: With this power, Bella can control, manipulate, multiply and generate water in all forms and all other liquids that contain water.
 * Hydro-Cryokinesis: With this power, Bella can cool down and freeze the water.
 * Hydro-Thermokinesis: With this power, Bella can heat and boil the water.
 * Mental shield: Bella's gift allows her to shield herself and those around her from supernatural powers that affect the mind, which explains why most of those powers were useless against her when she was still human. This was heightened when she became a mermaid, but was not discovered until Girl Meets 2 Worlds: Clash of the Werewolves.
