Edward: Vampire; He has bronze colored hair, golden eyes, and pale skin (like all vampires). He has the ability to read everyone's mind, except Bella's. He is also much faster than other vampires. He was born as a human in 1901 in Chicago, but was changed into a vampire by Carlisle in 1918 when he was dying of the Spanish Influenza. He is in love with Bella Swan. He is a "vegetarian" vampire and is also a very good pianist. In New Moon, he leaves because he thinks Bella will be safer without him. He hears from Rosalie that Bella killed herself by jumping off of a cliff (she was actually doing it for fun) so he leaves to go provoke the royal vampires in Italy so he would be executed. Bella ends up going to Italy to try to save him, and she miraculously is able to find him before he exposes the vampire secret to the public.
