PERSONAL HISTORY:
Isabella ?Bella? Swan was born in Forks, Washington. Her parents, Renee and Charlie, divorced when she was still a baby. Bella lived with her mother, growing up mainly in Riverside, California, and Phoenix, Arizona. Up until 2002, Bella visited her father in Forks for a month every summer. The climate in Forks was unpleasant to Bella, though, and when she was old enough, she insisted that Charlie meet her in California for a few weeks in the summer instead.
?It was a sweet, kind of tender moment. But there was this dark side to it because he was also admitting how much he had wanted to kill her from the first day he met her.? —
Stephenie
Bella didn‘t fit in with her peers in California or Arizona. She had the feeling of being a little out of sync with everyone — even the person she was closest to, her mother. Renee was a very extroverted, impractical, and absentminded mother who liked to dabble in a multitude of hobbies; from necessity, Bella turned out quite the opposite. At an early age she took over most of the household responsibilities. When not being the adult, she preferred quiet pastimes like reading, in part because she was extraordinarily clumsy. Her naturally responsible nature carried over into her schoolwork, where Bella usually received A‘s. Her plan for the future was to get a degree in education and teach, like her mother. Renee‘s career was the one thing Bella truly respected about her mother. However, she intended to teach at the high school level.
