Biography: : Beneath the quiet and sometimes shy exterior, Bella can be quite fiery. She knows what she wants and sometimes will stop at nothing to get it. Especially when it comes down to anything having to do with Edward. He has become her world, and her love for him has perhaps turned into something of an obsession. What she is now is what he has made her. Some would see that as a weakness, but she believes that she has found what it is she has to live for. And Bella never does anything half-way, why would love be any different?
Even with all of this, Bella just does not see herself as others would. For so long she was just the plain girl, never anything special. And she truly cannot believe that someone would go to such lengths to protect and love her. She would fully give herself over to something or someone, and not expect much in return. As she grows she is slowly seeing that this is not the case, but it is hard to break a certain way of thinking when one has been taught to think that way. Bella is also quite mature, due to the fact that she had to take care of her mother for so many years.
The beginning of Bella’s life was nothing out of the norm. She was born in the tiny town of Forks to a young and inexperienced couple. At only a few months old this marriage crumbled, and it was her mother Renee that would take her elsewhere. So it was to Phoenix, Arizona that they went.
This large city was where Bella spent her childhood. Her life would have been much simpler were it not for the childlike Renee, however for Bella it was the norm. Growing up was not overly difficult; she just seemed to have matured faster than the rest of the people her age. But she did do the normal things that little girls do; like taking dance and swimming lessons. Growing up many of her summers were spent in Forks with her father Charlie, who had perhaps not ever gotten over her mother.
It was when Bella turned seventeen that things changed. She would be permanently moving to Forks to be with her father, who was more a stranger to her than anything. But Bella knew that she needed a change. Renee had found herself a new husband, and though Bella had no strong objections to him she just didn’t want to spend time with the happy couple. Little did she know how much change this decision would bring.
This move to Forks proved to be more eventful than anything she had ever experienced. No longer was she just a wallflower; suddenly she was the centre of attention. She was not so daft as to think it had anything to do with her; it was just that she was something new to look at. But after meeting the strange Cullen family she found that she could not help but try and find out more about them. The realization that they were not human but vampires should have scared her, but it did not. If anything, it drew her in closer; in particular to the ‘youngest’ of them all, Edward. Even though his drive to kill her was incredibly powerful, Bella knew that all she wanted was him.
And though he never harmed her physically, what he put her through was more than anything she had ever dealt with in her life. But it has made her stronger; made their love stronger. And vampires were not the only mythical creatures to enter her life, for she befriended Jacob Black in a time when she was completely and utterly alone. As she found out what he was this too did not surprise her. However it would seem that their friendship would prove to cause a few problems.
After a few close encounters and a full out battle, Bella finds herself on the verge of becoming a vampire. She has lost her best friend but gained a fiancé, both of which is still scaring her a little. Time will only tell what the future will hold.
Appearance:
[image]
More average-looking than anything, but it is in that that she has beauty. Her heart-shaped face is framed by somewhat thin brown hair. She stands at an average height, though her frame is petite. She is not particularly curvy; she just wasn’t blessed in that way.
Most would not see the confidant young woman that resides within, though she is not overly concerned with that. Nothing about her clothing exudes particular confidence, and nor does she dress in a way that would attract attention. In fact, some people would even get the impression that she is rather boring.
Role Play Example (approx 150 words):
The sound of the rain pelting against her bedroom window had become a sound of confort for her. Never, when she first moved here, did Isabella Swan ever imagine that she would grow accustomed to such a sound, and even come to miss it when it wasn't there. Currently she was sitting at her computer, checking to see if there had been any e-mails from Renee. Since finding out about the wedding, her mother's e-mails had taken on a different tone. At first they had been uncharacteristically short, as if her mother was too shocked to actually function. Bella didn't blame her. But now, and it was so like Renee, she was pressing for details, wanting everything to work, making sure Bella knew what she was doing, scolding her for making the same mistake she had...and so on and so forth. Bella took them all rather good-naturedly, knowing that her time to seriously communicate with her mother would be short. Hopefully, with time, that would all come back. Perhaps her determination to not lose contact with those important to her human life would make it a little easier to control the hunger that would overtake her. But maybe that was just wishful thinking. The face of that girl, Bree, still haunted her. That girl that was a mirror of what she was soon to become. The fact that the computer had loaded ceased this train of thoughts, and she fired up the internet. True to her expectations, there was an e-mail from Renee.
She had managed to type of a response to the uncharacteristically short (even for right now; Renee must have been in a hurry) letter. Bella just wanted her mother to see that things were going to be fine; that she was making the right decision. It was hard to convey, for she could never explain the true depth of the situation to anyone. This killed her sometimes, but she just had to remember what she would be gaining through all of it.
When this was finished, the teenaged girl decided that she should at least do something productive. Get out of the house, perhaps. Of course, this proved to be a more dangerous activity at times, but things had been rather quiet around the small town. Unless they were hiding something from her...but she didn't think it had gotten any worse than what they'd faced before. Though, even if there truly was nothing coming to get her, Bella knew all too well what a danger she could be to herself. But she was determined to try; she did not like just being a waste of space. It had been a while since she had gone for a walk anyways. It would be good for her.
So, Bella stood from her archaic computer and trudged down the stairs. Charlie was out fishing again, despite the rain, so her steps echoed through the empty house. It didn't take her long to get ready, and she was soon out the door. Bella didn't bother to take an umbrella, for it would just be something else that she could harm herself with. It wasn't like she was wearing any make-up, and her hair would do its own thing regardless of whether it was wet or not. Alice might be the only one to really care about it, but Alice wasn't here. She put on a rain coat and a simple pair of rain boots; she didn't expect to be doing any trail blazing this time around. She would stick to the trail, for once. Maybe she might find something exciting. More exciting than a family of vampires or a pack of werewolves? Well...one never knew. And this was Isabella Swan, after all.
Figuring that there was a decent enough forest by her house, Bella went to that one. The last time she had been there she had been left with some very painful memories...sometimes she could still feel a ghost of that pain. Even though this happened the girl knew that she did not have to worry; Edward was not leaving again. If he did she would hunt him down herself. And really, the forest had done nothing wrong to have her associate it with such bad things, so perhaps she should give it a chance. Lots of good things had happened in the forest, too.
During her walk, her mind began to wander. It was incredible, how much a life could change over the span of a few, short years. Just over two and a half years had passed since her first arrival to Forks, Washington, and so much had changed. First of all, she quite liked it here, in this quiet, small town. The city of any kind no longer held a charm for her. Though, Bella was beginning to wonder if it were more due to Forks' strange occupants than the town itself. She imagined that if she had met Edward somewhere else in the world, she would have thought that the most enchanting place. It was something to think about, at any rate.
In that short time Bella had found herself the object of more than one vampire's desires, good and bad. She had experienced a pain like no other, a pain that no human or creature of any sort should ever have to live through. One that was so emotional in nature that it spilled over into the physical realm of being. But she had survived, and those few months were but a bad dream to her now. Throught that she had watched as her best friend grew rapidly before her eyes, eventually changing into a werewolf. And she hadn't heard anything from that best friend in a very long while, and couldn't keep the guilt from eating at her a little.
Perhaps the most significant thing of all, was that Isabella was now facing some very permanent changes. First of all, she was now engaged. Absently her gaze drifted to the ring on her finger, flexing her hand as she did so. Not only that, but she was coming to the end of her human days. Was there anything more permanent than that? It didn't frighten her at all, and there were no regrets. But still...she couldn't help but thing about how life might be...
No. She was happy with her decision. There was no life without Edward, and that was just the simple fact of it all. In order to get herself away from this potentially dangerous way of thinking, the girl forced herself to admire her surroundings. In doing so Bella found that she was deeper in than she had thought. But she was still on the well-worn path; there was no fear of getting lost. It almost seemed as though she had strayed into some sort of fairy tale land, inhabited by creatures that lived only in stories. Perhaps a wood sprite would come and abduct her. Before, she would have laughed at her childishness. Now she was a little wary that it just might happen.
Bella had to admit; it was rather boring without Edward around. But he was supposed to be out doing something...and he had refused to tell her what. It probably had something to do with Alice's scheming again, but she had finally given up. There was no point in arguing about it. So it was here in the forest by her house that she found herself, walking with her hands stuffed into her bright yellow rain coat, and sloshing through the mud.
