What does bella read to renesmee

Since no one is certain of her development and worried of her lifespan, the Cullens plan on making a trip to South America to study the legends that involve her species in hopes of finding answers. While Bella, Jacob and Renesmee are in the woods hunting together, they are spotted by Irina , a member of the Denali coven , who is mad at the Cullens for not avenging her mate 's death.

Irina sees Renesmee from a distance and assumes her to be an immortal child , a human child transformed into a vampire. By the Volturi's laws, such children are not allowed to exist because of their inability to control themselves, and Irina, whose mother had been killed for creating one , reports to the Volturi about her.

The Volturi make the decision to come to Forks , and destroy the child and the entire Cullen family. Alice sees this in a vision and tells the Cullens they need to gather witnesses to testify that Renesmee is a half-vampire and that she is able to control her instincts; she leaves a clue for Bella to locate a lawyer named J.

Jenks to help Renesmee escape in case the Volturi do end them, and then flees with Jasper without so much as a goodbye. In the next month, the Cullens gather many friends to help them testify that the child is not an immortal child. Renesmee wins over many with her gift and sweetness, and makes many new friends. To spend her first Christmas, Bella, Edward and Jacob take her to Charlie's house to celebrate, and she receives an MP3 player from Edward, a golden locket inscribed with the words " plus que ma propre vie " " more than my own life " in French from Bella, and a handwoven charm bracelet—the Quileute equivalent of a promise ring—from Jacob.

Knowing that the Volturi will stop at nothing to not only destroy, but acquire half of her family, Bella pleads Renesmee to leave with Jacob when the time comes.

When the Volturi and their witnesses arrive, the Cullens and their witnesses prove to them that the child is a hybrid between vampires and humans. Aro is very intrigued with Renesmee's existence, but is determined to achieve his secret ambitions—to add Alice, Edward, Bella and some of the other gifted vampires into his collection.

He and Caius come up with multiple schemes to provoke a battle between the Volturi and the Cullens. In Alice's vision of the probable battle, Renesmee and Jacob are escaping the slaughter with Volturi guard Santiago running after them.

When he flies through the air to catch them, Jacob fights back, bites off his head and escapes with Renesmee. The deal to let her live is set when Alice and Jasper show up near the end of the trial with a mature half-vampire like Renesmee, one the Volturi have never known of. Said hybrid, Nahuel , informs the Volturi of his past, his age and his diet. This persuades Aro to no longer see Renesmee as a threat, and, more importantly, threatened by Bella's gift, and leave in disgrace.

The Cullens are safe again, and Renesmee is able to stay with her family. Nahuel states that Renesmee will probably reach complete physical maturity around seven years after her birth, at which point she will stop aging and live to an unknown extent of years.

Since Jacob has imprinted on her, he has acted as a brother to her. It is likely that Jacob's feelings will become romantic when Renesmee comes of age. As happened to Nahuel , when she stops maturing at the age of seven, she will look like a seventeen year old teenager and cease to age for at least many centuries. Near the end of Breaking Dawn - Part 2 , Alice somehow learns to perceive visions that involve shape-shifters and vampire hybrids, given how she is able to see Jacob and Renesmee escape the battle while also perceiving the wolves' involvement.

At the end of the movie, she shares a vision with Edward, where they see a fully grown Renesmee together with her parents and Jacob—her mate. Renesmee is depicted as being immensely beautiful; even more gorgeous than Rosalie and Edward. She has inherited both of her parents' exceptionally good looks, having the facial features of her father Edward high cheekbones, perfect eyebrows, straight nose, strong jawline, and full lips , as well as his unusual bronze hair color brown in the movie , with her eyes being chocolate brown, just like her mother Bella's were when she was still human.

However, she has also inherited curly hair from her grandfather Charlie Swan , portrayed as ringlets that fall past her waist. She has pale skin, which has a blush to it because her heart pumps blood, with a faster beat than a normal human heart, and has had perfect shiny square teeth since her birth.

Unlike her family, Renesmee's skin glows slightly in the sunshine like back-lit alabaster rather than sparkle like diamonds. Thanks to the blood flowing in her veins and her heart beating, she has pink rosy cheeks, shell-pink lips, pale lavender eyelids, and pink palms. Her scent is a balance of both vampire and human, with enough vampire scent to keep it from being too appetizing to vampires; she also has a dimpled smile as opposed to her father's crooked smile.

Renesmee is depicted as a kind, overwhelmingly intelligent, and fun-loving child. She has a competitive streak that prompts her to accept Jacob's hunting challenges, which keeps her motivated to drink animal blood. As a vampire's mind is highly superior to a human's, Renesmee's mind gets into high gear even before she was born; she finds out that her movements in the womb have been hurting her mother, and tries to stop.

She also likes to hear the voices of her parents, and shows affection towards Jacob. After she was born, she learns the vampire laws and limitations very quickly and understands their consequences.

She can memorize perfectly anything she sees or experiences, and understands people without much difficulty. Bella comments that she is already more intelligent than most adults, and has better control over her thirst than any of them.

She likes to read books and listen to music, something she shares with her parents. She likes to hear Bella reading bedtime stories, but hates hearing the same ones twice, expecting therefore to hear new ones each and every time. In Breaking Dawn - Part 2 , she learns to play piano from Edward. Renesmee is fascinated by everyone in her surroundings, despite their being different species. She mostly prefers not to speak out loud and instead use her power to communicate with others, because she finds words insufficient to describe her feelings.

However, she will talk if she has to or if she is unable to touch someone. She is also depicted as a brave and headstrong character. Renesmee, often called "Nessie" for short, is a vampire-human hybrid , sharing traits from both species.

Similar to Alice's inability to see the future of werewolves, because she had never been one herself, Alice also cannot see Renesmee or her kind.

This is something that annoys her as much as her inability to see the wolves. She is immensely beautiful, and her body temperature is slightly higher than a human's. Renesmee has a rapidly beating heart and veins filled with her own blood. Her hardened skin glows faintly rather than sparkle like diamonds upon exposure to sunlight, which allows her to blend in the human society much more easily than vampires.

Unlike the rest of her vampire family, she is also able to sleep, and unlike Nahuel , she is not venomous, a trait that she shares with the other female hybrids Nahuel's half-sisters. Her scent is a mixture of human and vampire, and unlike the scent of a full vampire, it doesn't reject animals.

It remains unexplained how shape-shifters react to her scent Jacob doesn't seems to be rejected by it, however since she is his imprintee, he won't be rejected by her scent anyway. Her attractive traits and kind nature draw people vampire or human to her.

Tanya once commented her on as being a "special little one, hard to resist". Renesmee can survive on either human food or blood. She doesn't like human food much and will rarely eat it. She doesn't mind drinking animal blood in order to conform to the vegetarian lifestyle and due to her love of humans.

However, like most vampires, she prefers human blood and sees the donated blood that Bella drank while pregnant as an acceptable compromise. Given the difficulties involved in acquiring enough donated blood and in order to encourage Renesmee to drink animal blood, Jacob Black would start a friendly hunting competition between them for the biggest prey, which keeps Renesmee motivated.

As a child, Renesmee grows at an outstanding rate; this information caused great worry to the Cullens as they were unable to predict her future, and all of them worried how long her lifespan would be. It is implied that Renesmee's growth will slow down until it ceases at the age of seven, by which she will have the appearance of a young woman.

She may be able to live for centuries minimum, if not more. Her physical growth is greatly outstripped by her mental development. Being half-vampire, Renesmee displays the same supernatural characteristics of vampires, such as heightened senses, enhanced physical strength and speed, though not as potent as true vampires. At three months old, she can already leap 15 feet into the air.

Her skin is also almost as impenetrable as that of vampires, but no one has tested its endurance. She is born with sharp teeth that allow her to bite through skin and drink blood, but is not venomous.

Whether by chance inheritance or gender difference is unknown, but it has been pointed out that Nahuel is the only half-vampire known to possess vampire venom. As the offspring of two gifted vampires, Renesmee might have inherited the exact opposite versions of her parents' powers; while Edward can read people's minds from a distance , she can place her own thoughts and images even feelings into their minds through physical contact.

This power works most effectively in communication. She can unconsciously use this power when she is asleep, allowing people to see what she is dreaming about; and while Bella acts as a mental shield that blocks psychic powers from her mind , Renesmee can penetrate others' mental defenses while "communicating" with them, being the only person capable of making her power effective on Bella.

After Bella finds out that she is pregnant, she acquires a deep love for her daughter, mistakenly believing her unborn baby is a boy.

Even when everyone, except Rosalie, tries to convince her to abort the baby, she refuses. Once Edward discovers that he can hear the baby's thoughts and it can understand them, Renesmee does everything she can to keep from hurting the mother she loves deeply.

After the conception, deadly birth, transformation and first hunt, Renesmee and Bella finally meet for the first time. Renesmee has an unbreakably close bond to Bella, and she even loved Bella from the womb, as discovered by Edward on Bella's final day of pregnancy. Fearing that Alice foresaw the Cullens losing against the Volturi , Bella secretly prepares legal documents for Renesmee and Jacob so that they may escape.

Convinced that she and Edward would not survive the encounter, Bella also gives Renesmee a golden locket for Christmas as a memento with a photo of Bella, Edward, and Renesmee inside along with the engraved French inscription of " plus que ma propre vie ", meaning "more than my own life".

She is capable of breaking through her mother's shield and showing her what she is thinking about - it is thought that at least some elements of this power are inherited from Bella.

Aside from this, she has also inherited Bella's chocolate brown eyes. After the confrontation with the Volturi is resolved peacefully, Renesmee continues to live with her parents in a small cottage not too far away from the Cullen house, and Bella finally begins to call her "Nessie" after months of repelling the nickname.

Renesmee and Bella share the same interests in reading. Renesmee's father: Edward Cullen. During their honeymoon, Edward and Bella unknowingly conceived Renesmee. When they realized this, Edward feared that he would lose Bella, and he became desperate to get rid of the baby. At first, Edward asked Carlisle to remove the baby, so it wouldn't kill Bella, but she refused to have an abortion under any circumstances. As Bella's pregnancy continued, an unborn Renesmee kept hurting her and Edward's anger intensified.

However, on the final day of the pregnancy, the unborn Renesmee developed to the point where she had a mind for her father to read. Edward heard that Renesmee already loved her parents, understood that she was only accidentally hurting her mother, and was now trying to restrain herself. After hearing all this, his heart filled with immense love. When Bella went into sudden labor, Edward was the one who delivered Renesmee. Rosalie took care of her as Bella had to recuperate from her vampire transformation.

She says dozens of times that she loves her "momma and daddy" very much, even crying when she found out that Edward and Bella would have to leave her and shared a heartfelt goodbye with Edward whilst facing the Volturi. Since Edward can read minds, Renesmee does not need physical contact to communicate with him like she does with everyone else.

Because the nickname "Nessie" appears in everyone's thoughts, it attaches to Edward very quickly, making Bella the very last person to call her by it. Renesmee shares her father's interests in reading and music. Renesmee's imprinter: Jacob Black. Jacob Black is the Quileute shape-shifter who has imprinted on Renesmee, and therefore her soul mate.

Everything I wrote was pointed in that direction. I focused my answers on the female half of the equation—female vampires cannot have children because their bodies no longer change in any aspect. There were many statements on this subject purported to have come from me, but I never made those comments because, obviously, I knew where this was going. None of this story is possible. Within the context of the fantasy, however, this is how it works:.

Vampires are physically similar enough to their human origins to pass as humans under some circumstances like cloudy days. There are many basic differences. They appear to have skin like ours, albeit very fair skin.

The skin serves the same general purpose of protecting the body. However, the cells that make up their skin are not pliant like our cells, they are hard and reflective like crystal. A fluid similar to the venom in their mouths works as a lubricant between the cells, which makes movement possible note: this fluid is very flammable.

A fluid similar to the same venom lubricates their eyes so that their eyes can move easily in their sockets. The lubricant-venom in the eyes and skin is not able to infect a human the way saliva-venom can. Though there is no venom replacement that works precisely like blood, many of the functions of blood are carried on in some form. Also, the nervous system runs in a slightly different but heightened way.

Some involuntary reactions, like breathing, continue in that specific example because vampires use the scents in the air much more than we do, rather than out of a need for oxygen. The normal reactions of arousal are still present in vampires, made possible by venom-related fluids that cause tissues to react similarly as they do to an influx of blood.

Like with vampire skin—which looks similar to human skin and has the same basic function—fluids closely related to seminal fluids still exist in male vampires, which carry genetic information and are capable of bonding with a human ovum. She overcame the major obstacles in her path and fought her way to the place she wanted to be.

Stories need conflict, and the conflicts that are Bella-centric are resolved. It makes me sad, of course, but I was expecting it. The negative was more than I was braced for, but that was because the book sold a lot more copies than I expected.

It was bigger than I thought it would be on both the positive and the negative sides. Because no book is a good book for everyone. Conversely, there are books that I adore that no one else seems to care about.

The surprise to me is that so many people do like my books. I wrote them for a very specific audience of one, and so there was no guarantee that any other person on the planet besides me would enjoy them. With Breaking Dawn , the expectation was so huge and so intense that I knew the negative reaction was going to be especially bad this time. No book—or album, or movie, or tv show, or any other kind of entertainment—can answer to that level of expectation.

Oh, it might do it for some people, it might be exactly what they were looking for. If I could go back in time, knowing everything I know right now, and write the whole series again, I would write exactly the same story. The writing would be better, though—practice makes perfect. This is the story I wanted to write, and I love Breaking Dawn.

Also, that it might be impossible to film. What does that mean? The book is just so long! But maybe a screenwriter can see a way to do it and still cover the crucial plot points. You can do almost anything with CGI these days—realistic dragons and dinosaurs and endless amounts of nonexistent creatures that blend right in with the real elements. When I hear or read theories about Bella being an anti-feminist character, those theories are usually predicated on her choices.

In the beginning, she chooses romantic love over everything else. Eventually, she chooses to marry at an early age and then chooses to keep an unexpected and dangerous baby. She is a character in a story, nothing more or less. Bella chooses things differently than how I would do it if I were in her shoes, because she is a very different type of person than I am.

But do her choices make her a negative example of empowerment? In my own opinion key word , the foundation of feminism is this: being able to choose. That feels backward to me. Nahuel stated that Renesmee will probably reach complete physical maturity around seven years after her birth, at which point she will stop aging and live to an unknown extent of years.

It needs blood to survive, not baby food or human food. Alice was transformed by an old vampire who worked at the asylum to protect her from James, a tracker vampire who was hunting her. No distinct cause has been outlined as to how she died but she was an old woman who had lived in poor conditions for decades.

She also had a traumatic life prior to her last few years in Greece. In , Princess Alice was diagnosed with paranoid schizophrenia by psychiatrist Thomas Ross who specialised in shell-shock. He was created by Carlisle in , where he was dying of Spanish influenza. Carlisle was working at the hospital overnight, where he met Elizabeth Masen who pleaded for him to do anything in his power to help Edward.
