The Cullens
Awesomest Vampires EVER!
Dr. Carlisle Cullen
Carlisle Cullen was born in the 1640s (his exact DOB is uncertain, as it is unmentioned in the books and time was not marked as carefully then as it is now) to an Anglican pastor in London, England. His mother died giving birth to him and was raised by his father who believed in the existence of vampires, witches, and werewolves and led hunts. He put his son in charge of the hunts although at first, he was a failure. However, Carlisle found a coven of vampires living in the sewers and he led an attack on the vampires.
He chased after one of those vampires in the sewer, but he was bitten since the vampire was too thirsty to continue on and Carlisle turned three days later having stayed hidden in a sack of potatoes. Carlisle, disgusted by his own existence tried many ways to destroy himself, but to no avail. After trying to starve himself, he came across a wild animal and his thirst overpowered him. Carlisle discovered he could survive off animal blood rather than human, creating a new way for the vampires to exist unnoticed among humans.
Carlisle studied in many areas but chose to stick to medicine deciding that he rather help people with his new vampiric abilities. He works in Forks hospital and is almost completely unaware of the appeal human blood holds for him, but only after hundreds of years of practice.
When the Spanish Influenza broke out in the early 1900s, Carlisle came across a dying teenager, Edward Masen, who had been orphaned in the pandemic. Overcome with the need for companionship, and mindful of the promise made to the boy's dying mother (that he would do everything in his power to help), Carlisle stole him away and turned him, beginning his family.
Carlisle now has a wife, Esme, and five "adopted" children: Edward, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett and Jasper. Carlisle is described as being tall, blond, and the look-alike of a model. He stands "6'2" and is slender yet muscular. He is physically 23 years old.

Esme Cullen
Esme Cullen (born Esme Anne Platt and later Esme Anne Evenson) was born 1895 and lived in Columbus, Ohio where at age 16 was treated by her future husband Dr. Cullen after she broke her leg falling out of a tree. She was forced by her parents to marry a man named Charles Evenson who abused her.
After realizing she was pregnant, Esme left her husband and gave birth to a son. After losing her son to a lung infection, Esme attempted to commit suicide by jumping from a cliff (Edward tells Bella she "fell"). Esme was presumed dead and taken to the morgue... but she was still alive.
Dr. Carlisle Cullen heard her beating heart and remembered her. He didn't want her to die, so he chose to change her into a vampire like himself. Edward was the first human Carlisle had changed and Esme the second. Carlisle and Esme fell in love and were married.
Esme has no "special" power, but has a deep capacity for love. Esme accepts Bella, the human Edward loves and is immediately grateful to Bella for her care for Edward. She loves Bella as a daughter and often comforts her through tough times. She loves her adopted children equally but grieves the fact that she cannot bear children. Her love is the reason the Cullen's became a family.
Esme is physically 26 years old and is '5'6" tall. She has caramel brown hair, a heart-shaped face with dimples, and is slender yet rounded and soft.

Edward Cullen
Edward . Anthony Masen Cullen was born the son of Elizabeth and Edward Masen on June 20, 1901. In 1918 at age seventeen, having lost his mortal family to a particularly deadly strain of Spanish Influenza, Edward found himself at death's door. Whilst receiving treatment in Chicago, he came under the care of the enigmatic Dr. Carlisle Cullen. His mother had made a final wish that the young doctor do all within his power to prevent the death of her son from the same disease. It is unclear whether or not she was aware of the fate she was assigning to him. Dr. Cullen complied with her request the only way he knew how: By transforming Edward into a vampire.
After about a decade of human-free diet, Edward became curious about human blood. He spent much time playing judge and jury, killing only humans he felt should not live (murderers, rapists, etc.). Eventually he could not handle the guilt of "being a monster" and returned to Carlisle.
Presently, Edward resides in the wintry town of Forks, Washington with his "adopted" family: Dr. Carlisle and Esme Cullen, sisters Rosalie and Alice, and brothers Emmett and Jasper. He attended Forks High School, sharing the graduating class of Isabella Swan, human daughter of Police Chief Charlie Swan. Despite more than one hundred years of strict abstinence from human blood, upon meeting Bella he was barely able to resist the urge to feed on her. The unique, potent aroma of her blood proved to be a powerful temptation, awakening the dormant beast within and very nearly destroying the life the Cullens has constructed for themselves.
Edward learns to overcome and to control his thirst for Bella, and his fascination quickly evolves into passionate adoration. However Bella's penchant for becoming embroiled in dangerous situations weighs heavy on his conscience. When Bella is part of a near-fatal accident involving Tyler Crowley's car in the school parking lot, Edward intercedes and Bella gets discovers his extraordinary physical strength. After he rescues her again, this time from a gang of would-be attackers in Port Angeles, she begins to realise that strength is only one of the strange gifts he posesses. After this incident, the two become inseparable and their love continues to grow and evolve into something profound. Edward finds himself unwilling and unable to stay away from Bella, though he fears that he is exposing her to danger and is soon sharing the secrets of his families various "powers" and their individual histories.
Edward's gift is that he can read minds, hearing people's innermost thoughts. He has never encountered a person who is immune to his power... Until Bella shows up and he realises that her mind is impenetrable. At first this infuriates him, but it is also the catalyst for his obsession with her; How and why is her mind a mystery to him?
His brother, Emmet teases him about being the smartest, but since he cannot sleep at night, he has a lot of free time. He has become the most fluent in foreign languages, and he has read the most books, second to Carlisle. He also loves to run(or feel any speed), and he is the fastest runner of them all. He is also the most musical, he is always composing songs on his piano, like Esme's Favorite or Bella's Lullaby.
As Bella comes to grips with the truth about the Cullen family, she continually begs Edward to turn her into one of them. She dreads the fact that she grows older than him day by day, and sees her humanity as more of a curse than a gift as she is pursued by all manner of supernatural assailants.
His brothers and sisters include Alice, who can see the future, Jasper, who can control your emotions, Emmett, who has supernatural strength (even for a vampire), and the amazingly beautiful Rosalie. Though most of them trust their natural instincts and avoid her because of her sweet smelling blood, they eventually adjust to the change and support Edward's feelings for Bella. They are all vampires adopted by the mysterious Carlisle Cullen and his vampire wife, Esme.
While Jasper and Emmett's parents remain unknown, Rosalie and Edward talk of their parents. Alice is from an asylum and doesn't know who created her nor does she remember her past human life.
Edward is described as being impossibly beautiful. His face is angular and perfect--high cheekbones, strong jawline, straight nose, and beautiful, perfect lips. His hair, which is always in casual disarray, is an unusual bronze shade inherited by his biological mother, Elizabeth. As a human, his eyes were an emerald green. He is said to have a dazzling crooked smile. He stands 6'2", has a slender yet muscular body, and is physically 17 years old. His eyes are normally golden-brown or topaz when he is not thirsty, and onyx or coal when he is.
In Twilight, he is part of the mysterious Cullen family at Forks high. They do not associate with any humans for fear of exposure. He falls in love with human Isabella Swan and she finds out that he is a vampire. A baseball game in the woods exposes Bella and the Cullens to a rogue vampire trio: James, Victoria, and Laurent. James begins to obsessively track Bella, and bites her. She is rescued by Edward who proves his great love for her when he finds the inner control needed to suck James' venom out of her blood.
In New Moon, at Bella's birthday party she gets a paper cut, and Jasper tries to attack. Seeing the danger he puts her in, he decides to leave her in order to protect her. This devastates her, but she gets by with the help of Jacob Black, her werewolf best friend. When she jumps off a cliff for fun, Edward thinks she has killed herself. He tries to kill himself by provoking the Voltouri, but Bella finds him just in time to prevent him from exposing himself to the humans in the town ruled by the Voltouri. Edward, Bella, and Alice are brought before the Voltouri to provide an account of themselves. Bella is allowed to live and they are released with one condition; Bella must become a vampire and soon.
In Eclipse, Edward stays with Bella and promises to never leave her again. He becomes over-protective of Bella being with Jacob, and worries about her safety. He later saves Bella and Jacob when Victoria comes to wreak her vengence.
In Breaking Dawn, Bella agrees to marry Edward, and so they do. They go to Isle Esme for their honeymoon where Bella gets pregnant. She fights (unsuccessfully) for her life, but successfully delivers their half-vampire, half-human daughter, Renesmee Carlie Cullen. Edward is able to change Bella before she dies, and the hardships are over until Irena (a member of an Alaska vampire family who live as the Cullens do, for whom human blood is taboo) tells the Voltouri that Edward and Bella have created an immortal child which is also taboo in the vampire world. The Voltouri come to judge and punish this great offense, bringing many witnesses. There is a show-down between the Voltouri and the Cullens, who are assisted by their own witnesses and the Quileute Werewolves. The newborn Bella is discovered to be a shield, and is able to protect the family. The Voltouri, seeing themselves at a disadvantage, withdraw.

Alice Cullen
Alice Cullen (born Mary Alice Brandon) is the adopted daughter of Carlisle and Esme, adoptive sister of Edward, Rosalie, and Emmett, and wife of Jasper. Alice's early history is very vague, as she remembers nothing of her human life and woke up alone as a vampire. It is eventually revealed that she was born around 1901 in Biloxi, Mississippi, and was kept in an asylum because she had premonitions. Alice was changed by an old vampire who worked at the asylum in order to protect her from James, a tracker vampire who was hunting her. After doing some research, Alice found her grave and discovered that the date on her tombstone matched the date of her admission to the asylum. Through her research she additionally discovered that she had a younger sister named Cynthia, and that Cynthia's daughter, Alice's niece, was still alive in Biloxi.
Throughout Twilight, Alice uses her ability to see the future and help Bella when she is in danger. The two soon become friends, loving each other like sisters.
In New Moon, Alice foresees Bella jumping off a cliff and assumes she is trying to commit suicide, though Bella actually was partaking in the sport of cliff diving. Rosalie, believing Bella to be dead, informs Edward. After discovering the truth, Alice accompanies Bella to Italy to stop Edward from killing himself. They are successful, but are taken to see the Voltouri, who act as police of the vampire world. Through Alice's premonitions, Aro is able to see that Bella will eventually become a vampire and invites her, Alice, and Edward to stay with them. They all refuse and return to Forks.
In Eclipse, Alice, who proves to be an adept fighter, joins in the fight to destroy a group of rampaging newborn vampires, created by Victoria in an effort to take revenge on Edward. she is the first to find out about Edward and Bella's engagement.
In Breaking Dawn, after planning the wedding, Alice acts as Bella's maid of honor at her wedding and helps with Renesmee until leaving to search out a crossbreed after the Voltouri plan to destroy Renesmee, believing her to be an immortal child. Alice is successful and the Voltouri, not seeing a threat, leave.
Alice is described as being petite and pixie-like at 4'10", with a graceful gait and hair that is short, spiky, and black. Her special ability is to see the future, an enhanced version of her ability to have premonitions as a human. However, her ability is limited; she is only able to see the outcome of a decision once it is made. Due to this, decisions made in the spur of the moment can not be foreseen. Alice can see futures involving humans and vampires, though is unable to see the futures of werewolves or half-breeds, such as Renesmee.
Alice theorizes that she can see vampires very clearly because she is one, can see humans somewhat less clearly because she was one, and cannot see werewolves or half-breeds because she has never been one. Alice is portrayed as being bubbly and optimistic, and loves and cares for Bella like a sister. Her hobbies include shopping, make-overs, and throwing parties.

Jasper Cullen
Jasper Hale (born Jasper Whitlock) is the adopted son of Carlisle and Esme, adoptive brother of Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie, and husband of Alice. He was born in Texas in 1843 and joined the Confederate States Army in 1861 to serve in the Civil War at age 17. Due to his extremely charismatic personality, he ascended through the ranks quickly.
Jasper was turned into a vampire in 1863 by a vampire named Maria when he was 20 years old. As a vampire, he gained the ability to sense and manipulate the emotions of those around him. Recognizing his high rank in the army, Maria decided to change him into a vampire to help her claim territory in Monterrey. Jasper's responsibility was to train young vampires and then kill them when they were no longer useful (about a year after their transformation- when their strength began to fade).
After about a century of this, he grew weary of the lifestyle and joined an old friend, Peter, and his mate Charlotte. Jasper left the two eventually, not wanting to feed on humans because he could feel his prey's emotions as they died. Alice, foreseeing that they would be together, met him in a half-empty diner in Philadelphia, and together they sought out the Cullen family. During their companionship and travels, they soon fell in love and were later married.
In Twilight, Jasper accompanies Alice and Bella when they are hiding from James. He uses his ability to calm Bella when she is stressed or afraid.
In New Moon, he attacks Bella after she gets a paper cut, prompting the Cullen family to leave Forks to protect Bella.
In Eclipse, he trains his family and the wolf pack to fight newborn vampires. his history becomes known.
In Breaking Dawn, Jasper runs away with Alice to find witnesses for the confrontation with the Volturi. They find his old friends, the nomads Peter and Charlotte, and Nahuel, the half vampire half human boy. You also find out that he is the one that gets the family their drivers licenses and passports from J Jenks, who is scared of 'Mr. Jasper'.
He is described as tall with honey blond hair, and is muscular but lean and is physically 20 years old. His body is covered with crescent-shaped scars, after the many years of fighting and training newborn vampires. Due to his past, where he was able to feed on humans whenever he chose, Jasper lacks strong self-control.

Rosalie Cullen
Rosalie Lillian Cullen was born to a middle-class family in 1915. When she was 18, the Great Depression hit the US. Her father had a stable job in a bank. Her parents were social climbers. Rosalie, who was extraordinarily beautiful, was the ticket they needed to reach their social aspiration. She was clearly the favorite of her parents, with two younger brothers.
Meanwhile, Rosalie dreamed of a lavish life--a life with a rich husband and children as beautiful as she was. Her parents influenced her want of material things. She wanted a big house that someone else would clean, with a large lawn that she would play with her children on.
In Rochester, where she grew up, there was only one family that had what her parents wanted--the Kings. Royce King owned the bank Rosalie's father worked in. His son, Royce II, and Rosalie began dating. The engagement went quickly too and wedding plans were made. Rosalie couldn't help but feel something was missing from her relationship with him. She soon began wanting what her good friend, Vera, had-- a husband who wasn't necessarily rich, but one that loved her and was there for her, and a small baby they could raise together lovingly.
One night she went to Vera's, and while walking home she realized how late it was and she wished that she had thought to call her father to escort her. On the way, she saw several drunken men. One turned out be Royce. Showing her off to his friends, he ripped pins from her hair. When she cried out in pain, the men seemed to enjoy it. They proceeded to beat and then rape her.
Afterwards, they left her dying in the street. Carlisle Cullen found her. Rosalie had never liked Dr. Cullen or his wife and her brother, as Edward then pretended to be. It bothered her that the family was more beautiful then she was. Dr. Cullen, who turned out to be a vampire, saved Rosalie that night by turning her into a vampire. The "vegetarian" family only drank the blood of animals. Soon after becoming a vampire she killed Royce and his friends--careful not to spill a drop of blood. Since then, Rosalie prides herself on never having drunk human blood.
Two years later, she found Emmett being mauled by a bear and ran him back to Carlisle. She begged for him to save the dying Emmett, who reminded her of Vera's little boy, by changing him into a vampire. The two were soon married. Rosalie and Emmett currently reside in Forks, Washington, but they often live away from the family as a married couple. Currently she is the only one, aside Carlisle that has kept her last name on the grounds that she never wanted to be a vampire in the first place.
In New Moon, she mistakenly reports to Edward that Bella is dead after she supposedly commits suicide, though Bella was actually just partaking in the sport of cliff-diving. He then proceeds to travel to Italy, desiring to have the Voltouri kill him, only to be stopped by Alice and Bella. While most of the Cullen's votes in favor of changing Bella into a vampire, Edward and Rosalie vote against it changing her.
In Eclipse, Rosalie reveals her past to Bella with the hopes that she will choose to stay a human being. She also joins the fight against a group of savage newborn vampires.
In Breaking Dawn, Bella learns about her pregnancy and Edward is afraid that the baby is killing her with it's accelerated growth that he orders her to get an abortion to save her life. She refuses, knowing she has a connection with the baby and contacts Rosalie for support, knowing that she has always wanted to have children. She stays by Bella's side throughout the pregnancy, and defends her choice to keep the baby, causing Edward to reconsider forcing his wife to get an abortion. Rosalie acts as a guardian to the child, Renesmee, taking care of her while Bella is going through her painful transformation into a vampire and they become very close. When the Voltouri plot to destroy Renesmee, Rosalie helps gather vampire nomads, with Emmett, to provide evidence that Renesmee isn't a danger to them.
Rosalie is described as tall, statuesque and blonde. She's vain and self-centered on the outside. However, the truth is that she longs to be human and have children, so much that she's willing give up her immortality, beauty and even Emmett for it. It's for that reason she strongly resents Bella Swan with a passion. Rosalie knows that she's being foolish in wanting to throw away her humanity just to be a vampire, which Rose herself never wanted to lose in the first place.

He then proceeds to travel to Italy, desiring to have the Voltouri kill him, only to be stopped by Alice and Bella. While most of the Cullen's votes in favor of changing Bella into a vampire, Edward and Rosalie vote against it changing her.
In Eclipse, Rosalie reveals her past to Bella with the hopes that she will choose to stay a human being. She also joins the fight against a group of savage newborn vampires.
In Breaking Dawn, Bella learns about her pregnancy and Edward is afraid that the baby is killing her with it's accelerated growth that he orders her to get an abortion to save her life. She refuses, knowing she has a connection with the baby and contacts Rosalie for support, knowing that she has always wanted to have children. She stays by Bella's side throughout the pregnancy, and defends her choice to keep the baby, causing Edward to reconsider forcing his wife to get an abortion. Rosalie acts as a guardian to the child, Renesmee, taking care of her while Bella is going through her painful transformation into a vampire and they become very close. When the Voltouri plot to destroy Renesmee, Rosalie helps gather vampire nomads, with Emmett, to provide evidence that Renesmee isn't a danger to them.
Rosalie is described as tall, statuesque and blonde. She's vain and self-centered on the outside. However, the truth is that she longs to be human and have children, so much that she's willing give up her immortality, beauty and even Emmett for it. It's for that reason she strongly resents Bella Swan with a passion. Rosalie knows that she's being foolish in wanting to throw away her humanity just to be a vampire, which Rose herself never wanted to lose in the first place.
Emmett Cullen
In 1935, Emmett was out hunting in the mountains of Tennessee when he was attacked by a bear. He very nearly died, but Rosalie found him and brought him to Carlisle to be saved. Emmett describes the event as being saved by an angel who brought him to God. Once the pain of the change had passed, Rosalie and Carlisle explained the situation to him, and to their surprise, the whole vampire issue didn’t disturb him. In his own words: “But if Carlisle and Rosalie, my angels, were vampires, how bad could it be?" He had trouble with the rules at first and has tasted human blood on several occasions.
He is married to Rosalie, and has married her several times for show. Emmett will do anything to make Rosalie happy, and since Rosalie likes attention and is all about show, she gets a wedding every so many years. Often time, he and Rosalie live away from the others as a newlywed couple.
