Isabella Marie Swan was born on September 13, 1987, toRenée and Charlie
Swan, a young couple living in the small town of Forks , Washington. Her parents divorced when
she was only three months old. Renée took Bella with her to Downey ,
California , to live with her difficult
grandmother, before moving to Riverside
after her mother got her education degree and landed a job as a kindergarten
teacher at a local school. When Bella was six years old, they moved to Phoenix , Arizona .
During most of her childhood, she would visit her father in Forks for one month
every summer, and got acquainted with Rachel,Rebecca and Jacob Black, the
children of Charlie's best friend,Billy Black, though they never became real
friends. Bella found the climate in Forks unpleasant, though, and from 2002
onward, Charlie vacationed with her in California
instead. She briefly took ballet and piano lessons, but quit them after some
time because she found them too difficult.
Bella never fit in with her peers in California
or Arizona .
She had always had the feeling of being a little out of sync with everyone -
including her mother, who was her best friend. While her mother was
impractical, absentminded and liked to shift from one interest to the next,
Bella grew up as the more responsible and independent individual. At an early
age, she took over most of the household responsibilities. Sometimes, she would
feel like she was the adult and Renée was the child.
During free time, she preferred to sit home and read, in part because
she was extraordinarily clumsy. Her naturally responsible nature carried over
into her schoolwork, where Bella was generally a straight-A student. Her plan
for the future was to get a degree in education and teach, like her mother.
Renee's career was the one thing that Bella truly respected. However, she
intended to teach at the high school level. When Bella noticed that Renée felt
lonely due to the lack of romance in her life, she encouraged her mother to go
on more dates. Eventually, Renée fell in love with and married a minor league
baseball player named Phil Dwyer. Bella wasn't entirely fond of the idea, but
nevertheless offered her blessing. They married in the same month that Bella
turned 17. While Phil traveled around for his job, Renée stayed home with
Bella; however, Bella, noticing her mother's unhappiness with this arrangement,
chose to move in with her father in Forks so Renée could go on the road with
Phil during baseball season, leading to the beginning of Twilight.
"I've never given much thought to how I would die. But dying in
the place of someone I love seemed like a good way to go." At the
beginning of Twilight, Bella moves back to her birth town of Forks , Washington, to live with her father,
Charlie Swan, to let her mother, Renée Dwyer, travel with her new husband,Phil.
She enrolls at Forks
High School in the middle
of her junior year. She does not notice the physical attraction she holds for
the male students at the school, and makes a few new friends, including Jessica
Stanley, Angela Weber, and Mike Newton, the latter of whom she later discovers
is very interested in her. The one group of people at Forks
High School that truly
intrigues Bella are the Cullens, a mysterious family consisting of five adopted
children. Edward Cullen, in particular, captures her attention, along with his
adopted siblings, namely: Alice, a petite girl with black, pixie-cut hair, who
has the ability to see the future;Jasper, her husband, who has the hardest time
in the family abstaining from human blood; Emmett, a broad, extremely muscular
vampire; finally, Rosalie, his wife, who is a beautiful, self-absorbed woman.
Due to Bella's uncanny ability to attract accidents, Edward finds himself often
protecting her from various unlikely calamities, and finds himself growing
extremely protective of her - to the point where even he admits he sometimes
goes too far.
