Character description

Edward is the complete opposite to any "normal" person.

He have eyes that change colour from brown to black, he's strong, fast and smooth, he can read peoples minds, it looks like he has tiny little diamonds all over his skin that sparkle in the sun and he is totally gorgeous.

He's a vampire.

Carlisle and Esme adopted Edward after Carlisle transformed him. He have  two adopted sisters, Alice and Rosaline, and two adopted brothers, Jasper and Emmett, all vampires, but Edward and his family are different from the other vampires you may have herd of,  they only drink animal blood. In the book Edward says to Bella that Carlisle don't force him or anyone else to drink animals blood, he have huge respect for Carlisle but that's not the only reason why he don't drink human blood. He choose not to do that because he don't want to be a monster. 

Bella in the other hand is a "absolute ordinary" girl , she isn't a genius and not an idiot, doesn't always wear the coolest cloths but not the nerdy ones either. She's absolute "normal" except of one thing, she isn't afraid for things that you usually are afraid for.

For example when Edward invited Bella to Cullen's house  to meet his family, Bella wasn't afraid that she was going to be in a house full of vampires and that they would be able to  kill her any minute, instead, she was afraid that they may not like her. She must have had very much trust in them otherwise she would not have been that calm.  

Bella also have gifts , for example, Edward can't read her mind which she is very happy for since Bella is afraid that he may get angry and she will loose him.

Edward on the other hand thinks it is very annoying, he wants to know what Bella thinks about him, is she scared, uncomfortable or does she love him.

Unfortunately Bella have a unique smell, all vampires think she smells delicious and that is one of the reasons she gets so many vampire enemies. For Edward it's harder to resist not to drink her blood, it's like a drug to him and every time she's with him Edward have to control him self more then what he's used to.
