In the first movie of the Twilight Saga Bella Swan was just a misunderstood, clumsy teenager who only wanted her mom to be happy. So she decided to move from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington and live with her dad. She hated the rain but she tried to make the best of it for her mother’s sake who wanted to travel with her new husband. Bella was instantly a hit because she was new but all the attention made her uncomfortable. That is until she met him. Edward Cullen. The most intriguing guy she has ever seen. There was just something about him that drew her to him.

With the help of a story told to Bella from her childhood friend Jacob Black, Bella soon discovered that Edward and his whole family were vampires. This should have scared her off but instead it drew her closer to him. She was his personal brand of heroine and he could not stay away from her. So they begin a relationship that takes its share of turns when some other vampires who are not as nice as the Cullen’s want Bella.

A vampire tracker named James tricks Bella into coming to save her mother that he doesn’t really have. Bella ends up being bitten and Edward must choose to either save her by sucking the venom out himself or to let her become like him.

In the end Bella is still human and is begging to become like Edward so that she can be with him forever.
