Line 3:
Isabella Swan is the main character of ''Twilight''. She moved from Arizona to Forks to live with her father when her flaky mother got remarried, and was very unhappy staying away from her new husband. She is described by herself as being klutzy, easily bruised and of weak constitution, and being quite plain in appearance. She is also very well read, quiet, [[Department of Redundancy Department|introspective, perceptive, observant]], stubborn, is obsessed with cooking for her father, doesn't connect with humans. This part is explained by the fact that she is essentially a mature woman in a teenage body, with a mix of occasionnal [[No Social Skills]] and perpetual [[Mr. Imagination]]. She strives to get deeper connection with others, and only does so easily with vampires and werewolves, she is capable to love with all her heart, body and soul no matter what her brain might say, and she is deeply concerned with the safety of all her loved ones, like Charlie and Jacob, but mostly Edward and the Cullens.
* [[All Girls Want Bad Boys]]: She still wants to date Edward, even though he is "dangerous".
* [[Author Avatar]]: An image circulates on the web of how Bella's in-universe description almost exactly matches how Stephanie Meyers [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_2Wraxo-hP7o/TKKqejQI4mI/AAAAAAAACT0/WzRRiHjcYZU/s1600/hii.jpg looks in real life]{{Dead link}}.
* [[Betty and Veronica]]: The Archie for Jacob's Betty and Edward's Veronica. {{spoiler|She chooses Edward.}}
* [[Birthday Hater]]: She hates the attention and how it reminds her that she still ages while Edward doesn't.
* [[Bitch in Sheep's Clothing]]: Almost certainly unintentional, but she often comes off as this due to her poor treatment of others and rather uncharitable thoughts about others appearances.
* [[Brown Eyes]]: Meyer makes sure that we know [[Purple Prose|exactly how beautiful they are]].
* [[But I Can't Be Pregnant]]: {{spoiler|In ''Breaking Dawn''.}} [[Justified Trope|Justified]]--she had previously thought male vampires were sterile.
Line 15:
* [[Dreaming the Truth]]
* [[Eerie Pale-Skinned Brunette]]: Was described as such in the first three books, but even moreso when {{spoiler|she becomes a vampire herself}}.
* [[Escapist Character]]: For the [[Target Audience]].
* [[Fainting]]: Bella has an extremely weak constitution, and faints at the smell of blood as well as when feeling overpowered.
** And when Edward ''breathes on her'', don't forget that!
Line 24:
* [[I Can't Believe a Guy Like You Would Notice Me]]: The poster girl.
* [[I Just Want to Be Special]]
* [[Informed Ability]]: She is supposedly wide-read, but never references more than a small handful of books, and they're only the kinds any high schooler had to read in English 101.
* [[Informed Flaw]]: Bella spends so much time talking about how "plain" she is. However, boys are still all over her.
* [[Official Couple]]: {{spoiler|With Edward.}}
Line 47:
** [[Green Eyes]]: In his human life. It makes him a [[Significant Green-Eyed Redhead]].
* [[Heroic Willpower]]
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: In the Japanese dub, Edward Cullen [[Takahiro Sakurai|is]] [[Code Geass|Suzaku Kururugi]].
* {{spoiler|[[Hot Dad]]: As of ''Breaking Dawn''.}}

* [[Really Seven Hundred Years Old|Really 108 Years Old]]
* [[Redheaded Hero]]
* [[Shallow Love Interest]]
* [[Single-Target Sexuality]]: The only girl he has ever dated is Bella.
* [[Stalker with a Crush]]
* [[Stalking Is Love]]: One of the most [[Egregious]] acts he does in the name of "love" is breaking into Bella's room every night to watch her sleep. And he did this ''before'' they were a couple.
Line 110:
* [[Vampire Hunter]]: Before he became a vampire himself.
* [[What Kind of Lame Power Is Heart, Anyway?]]: In this case his power is compassion, which kind of pales in comparison to some of the more awesome powers.
** That said, it does give him an edge on resisting the desire to drink human blood, to the point that he is able to effectively operate in an environment where he is constantly exposed to it (namely a hospital), which combined with his centuries of medical experience makes him an exceptional surgeon.
* [[Where Did We Go Wrong?]]: He is said to have been a disappointment to his father.
=== Esme Cullen ===
Line 132:
* [[The Fashionista]]: Loves dressing people up and throwing parties, [[Les Yay|especially if Bella's involved]]. She not only organized Bella's wedding, but packed her honeymoon suitcase, dressed her up in a cocktail dress and stilettos {{spoiler|for her first post-vamp hunt}}, and filled up her closet at home with more clothes than Bella felt she could wear for a while.
* [[Genki Girl]]
* [[Manic Pixie Dream Girl]]: To Jasper.
* [[Waif Prophet]]
Line 139:

* [[Blue Eyes]]: As a human.
* [[The Big Guy]]: He is even described as stronger than an average vampire.
* [[Boisterous Bruiser]]
* [[Determinator]]: Gives off this vibe, especially when Meyer described his constant need for rematches.
Line 195:
* [[Red Right Hand]]: Due to centuries of being waited upon and never acting of their own volition, the oldest Volturis' bodies are starting to ''crumble''.
* [[White-Haired Pretty Boy]]: Caius
* [[You Have Failed Me...]]: Caius doesn't handle disappointment well, {{spoiler|as Irina learns fatally.}}
=== James' Coven ===
The first adversary encountered in the first book. They first started out as a small group of hunters and nomads who just lived to drink good blood. Things went from bad to worse when Bella and her rich blood came into the picture. James was offed in ''Twilight'', followed by Laurent in ''New Moon'', and then Victoria and her giant army of newborns in ''Eclipse''.
* [[Adaptational Attractiveness]]: James is described as being very unremarkable in appearance, but in the movie, he's played by [https://web.archive.org/web/20090404034126/http://cam-gigandet.com/photos/displayimage.php?album=24&pos=11 this guy].
* [[Affably Evil]]: Laurent
