Isabella Marie "Bella" Swan (later Bella Cullen) is a character and the protagonist of the ''Twilight'' series, written by Stephenie Meyer. The ''Twilight'' series, consisting of the novels ''Twilight'', ''New Moon'', ''Eclipse'', and ''Breaking Dawn'', is primarily narrated from Bella's point of view. In the film series, Bella is portrayed by actress Kristen Stewart. In ''Twilight'', Bella moves to her father's home in Forks, Washington, meets the mysterious Cullen family, and falls in love with Edward Cullen. However, she soon discovers that the family is a coven of vampires. Bella expresses a desire to become a vampire herself, against Edward's wishes. In the second novel, ''New Moon'', Edward and the other Cullens leave Forks in an effort to keep Bella safe from the vampire world. Jacob Black, a member of the Quileute tribe who is also a shape shifter taking a wolf form, comforts the distraught and severely depressed Bella. She comes to care deeply for Jacob, though less than she loves Edward. At the end of ''Eclipse'', Bella becomes engaged to Edward, and they marry in ''Breaking Dawn''. On their honeymoon, she becomes pregnant by Edward and, due to the peculiar nature of her baby, Bella nearly dies giving birth to their daughter, Renesmee Cullen. Edward turns her into a vampire to save her life. ==Concept and creation== The premise for both the Bella Swan character and the ''Twilight'' series originated in a dream Stephenie Meyer had in which an "average girl" and a "fantastically beautiful, sparkly ... vampire ... were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods." In this dream, the pair "were discussing the difficulties inherent in the facts that ... they were falling in love with each other while ... the vampire was particularly attracted to the scent of her blood, and was having a difficult time restraining himself from killing her." Meyer's original characters were unnamed; she took to calling the characters, who would later become Edward Cullen and Bella, 'he' and 'she' for the purpose of convenience as she, "didn't want to lose the dream." The name 'Isabella' was decided upon, Meyer explains, because "after spending so much time with (character ), I loved her like a daughter. ... Inspired by that love, I gave her the name I was saving for my daughter,... Isabella."〔 Bella's positive reception at her new school in Forks, particularly her popularity with male characters, was modelled after Meyer's real life move from high school to college. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bella Swan」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
