Reasons to love Bella:
Because she moved all the way from Phoenix, Arizona to Forks, Washington just so her mom could be happy
Because she is a great cook
Because she knows how to run a household
Because she want to Italy to save Edward even though she thought he didn't love her
Because she's letting Alice have free reign on the wedding with only a few exceptions
Because she's intelligent
Because she loves the classics
Because she'd rather read than watch TV
Because "for a teenager she's surprisingly non-whiny"
Because she is clumsy

How do you think Bella has grown as a character over the course of the Twilight series? And are you happy with who she has become?

Bella has grown so much throughout the entire series. She started out as a naieve, young, ordinary girl and was transformed into a strong, determined woman/vamp! Along the way there were many obstables, but she confronted those obstables and in turn grew so much because of them. Bella began as not knowing who she really was, and ended up finding herself and truly liking who she was. This is not to say she didn't have her certain fall backs, where we wondered if she would give up. But Bella being Bella fought through everything, and as the saying goes "what doesn't kill you, only makes you stronger." I think that quote truly describes the growth of Bella Swan into Bella Cullen.

I'm def. happy with who she has become. We really needed a strong female character in literature. I loved how Bella was the one that protected everyone in Breaking Dawn. What made me love Bella since the beginning is that she sticks to her decisions. When she decides something she goes through it 'til the very end, I guess that's why she is one of my favorite female characters

Throughout the saga, Bella has become the definition of transformation…Though she will always be our klutzy, ghost-white, new girl in Forks… she has also become our selfless, love-stuck, head over heels, Momma and Wife. She loves unconditionally and deserves all of the happiness and passion in her life that she has received.

Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers be good to your daughters too

I think we have watched Bella grow up over the course of the series. When she moved to Forks she was a shy teenager who was used to taking care of herself and shutting those around her out. The relationships she found herself in quickly forced her to let go and let those around her in. By Breaking Dawn we see Bella as a young woman determined to protect her family at an cost. I am very happy with who Bella has become. She has everything she wanted and is blissfully happy!

I like Bella and she is a heroine. Often she's in the part of damsel in distress cause of her clumsiness or because of supernatural elements and her being human but that doesn't make her weak or any less of a strong heroine. I know we may all want to be the* cool butt kicking heroines, like Alias's Sydney Bristow or an Angelina Jolie but not having that ability does not make you weak or any less of a strong heroine, nor does putting love and family first. That's one of the many things I like about Bella. She's real and relatable. She's smart, sweet and totally unaware of her own inner strength, beauty and goodness. I am very happy with who Bella has become. I always thought Bella didn't see herself clearly and Edward never saw himself clearly. I liked that by the end that picture was clearly. It seemed like all the Cullens and Bella grew up alittle and were more at home and comfortable and happy in Breaking Dawn. With marriage and a child, you grow up even more and I liked that in Bella. I also really loved that Bella still remained Bella. Bella was Bella, just without the clumsiness and more durable and did not lose her humanity.

She has grown so much, and I love her most especially after she became a vampire. I loved her at the start even though she was a clutz, she was cute and I could relate to that a lot. love how she wasn’t scared of Edward and wanted to know more about vamps and it was cool how like every guy wanted her lol. Over the books her character grew stronger as her and Edward’s relationship progressed. Then when she became a vampire she finally didn’t need to be dependent on Edward and with her power she was more confident, sexy and she became the hero instead of being the denzel and distress she always was. And no one messes with mummy Bella hehe.

What quality about Kristen attracts you the most to her and why?

lakers0604
What qualities attract me to Kristen? Well there are is a whole list and that would be too long to list. Kristen is just so chill, she doesn't care what people say about her, she is her. She's like this is me, hate it or love it. And I think that's a really good quality. Most Hollywood Starlets will change themselves to conform to the image at the time. Kristen wouldn't do that, in fact I think she is one of those people who make the image. She won't starve herself to fit into a size 0, she'd be like well give me the size 2. Also, Kristen can't believe she has so many fans. And I find that really cute, because she doesn't think she's that big and in fact she is. It gives us a sense that she is living in reality. If you walked into a club or met Kristen on the street, I believe she's one of those girls who would actually try to have a convo with you. She's not like those celebs who would think themselves as better than us. We are all people, and we have flaws. I love how Kristen acknowledges that and isn't afraid to admit it. Kristen Stewart is a role model for girls everywhere.

Lorelai Evans Danes
I love how she is extremely down to Earth and that she isn't afraid of being herself.

Kristen is unique in her own way. She doesn't let the pressure of Hollywood get into her. She is very down-to-earth. You can easily recognize her in a crowd because of her uniqueness.

rain*kisses
Kristen is human. She gets nervous and antsy during interviews… She has the anxious habit of flipping her hair… She finds comfort and beauty in a pair of jeans and a T-shirt… She’s human… And that is why she is so easy to relate to… She is so much like all of us, that you are able to feel a friend-like connection with her… She is true to herself and will always be the headstrong, unique, and beautiful person we know and love.

I think KStew is incredibly down to earth and real, a trait that shines through in her acting. She seems completely unaffected by fame, something that you don't see often from young Hollywood. As beautiful and talented as she is, she is completely modest about it.

Brenda Corinthos
I think Kristen is a great actress. I noticed her first in Speak. She did so much with facial expressions and body language alone in that film that I was highly impressed. I really like that she seems down to earth, real and unfazed by Hollywood and she seems to be almost unaware of how great of an actress she is and almost Bella like embarrassed by compliments on her acting.

paire_gal21
How she isnt’t like other celebs, like she doesn’t act out or do crazy things like drugs. Her life seems as perfect as it can be and she is her own person. She doesn’t let people make her into a different person from who she is. Her fashion sense is amazing and she has the most amazing hair ever! And she is so cute when she does her hair flip. She’s so young but so mature for her age. And one day Rob will see those same qualities And her acting is brilliant in every movie she does.
