decided to leave them, she was relieved. She preferred to have Peter to herself. Peter always kept in touch with Jasper, and after Jasper found Alice, Charlotte enjoyed his company a lot more. If not for their dietary peculiarities, Charlotte would have been tempted to join Jasper and Alice.
MAKENNA
NAME: Makenna
DATE OF BIRTH: 1920
DATE OF TRANSFORMATION: 1946, at age 26
SOURCE OF TRANSFORMATION: Luca
PLACE OF ORIGIN: Malta
HAIR COLOR: Black
EYE COLOR: Red/black (vampire)
HEIGHT: 5‘2?
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Makenna is short and thin.
SPECIAL ABILITIES: She does not possess a quantifiable supernatural ability.
FAMILY/COVEN RELATIONSHIPS: Makenna‘s mate is Charles.
PERSONAL HISTORY:
Makenna comes from a Maltese family with a very unusual link to vampirism. One of her ancestors, Luca, was converted to vampirism around 400 B.C. Unlike most vampires, Luca did not leave his mortal family behind; he continued to look after his family‘s prosperity and safety.
And, with a vampire on their side, the family prospered greatly. Everyone in the family was in on the secret and thought of Uncle Luca as a kind of personal family saint. The next generation grew up with an entirely different perception of vampirism than was usual. After several more generations had passed, one of Luca‘s relatives, a distant nephew, asked if he could join Luca.
When he saw that the boy‘s parents were willing, Luca agreed. The nephew went his own way rather than staying a part of the family, and Luca was disappointed. He looked for another family member to help him protect the family line. He converted a few more of his relatives into vampires, two of whom became his constant companions. Others left the family for various reasons; Renata, for example, was adopted into the Volturi. It became the tradition that every other century, one child would be chosen to join Luca as a family protector. Makenna was one of the chosen ones, and she grew up knowing this would be her destiny. She looked forward to her fate, until she met Charles. Luca told her she could give up her heritage if she wanted to grow old and die with the human. Makenna did not want to give up either, so she chose immortality, always planning to go back for Charles.
When she went back to Charles, Makenna was honest with him. She explained to him all the drawbacks and advantages of vampirism. They discussed everything thoroughly before Charles chose to be with her. Knowing her uncle Luca would not change someone unrelated to the family, Makenna waited until she was sure she was strong enough to handle the temptation, and then she changed Charles herself.
Renata was the one who invited Makenna and Charles to accompany the Volturi to Forks to witness the crime the Cullens had committed. Because the Volturi were sure that Renesmee was an immortal child, Charles got no sense of dishonesty until they arrived in the clearing.

PERSONAL HISTORY:
Peter was created by Maria to fight in her newborn army. Jasper found a kindred spirit in Peter and was impressed with his abilities; he advised Maria that Peter might be worth keeping.
Maria didn‘t care much either way, and so indulged Jasper in his preference.
Peter knew Jasper had saved his life, and he felt indebted; he would do anything Jasper asked.
Jasper enjoyed Peter‘s company, and they worked well as a team. Peter knew Jasper had saved his life, and he felt indebted; he would do anything Jasper asked. He cheerfully took on the responsibility of the other newborns. He was not concerned about their fate. Like Maria and Jasper, he viewed them as tools without individual personalities — until Maria brought Charlotte back.
Charlotte was different from the other newborns. Usually Maria selected humans she thought would make good warriors, but during her brief interludes of peaceful living, she was less picky. There were some women, a few
