Overall Background
Born on September 13th, Bella was born to Renee and Charlie Swan, but after too much pressure Renee left and got full custody of Bella, she settled in Phoenix, Arizona. She said "If I don't get out now I never will" and Charlie still clearly has feelings for Renee. Bella got a Step-Father named Phil, and she soon decided to move in with Charlie after Phil got a job as a traveling Minor League Baseball Player.
Twilight
Twilight is about a seventeen-year-old girl named Bella Swan, who moves from her mother's home in Phoenix, Arizona, to live with her father in her birthtown of Forks, Washington. There, she becomes intrigued by a student, Edward Cullen. Edward saves her life on multiple occasions, exhibiting super-human qualities. Bella learns from family friend Jacob Black that Quileute legends say the Cullen family are vampires. Edward eventually admits to this truth, though his family hunts only animals, not humans, through moralistic choice. Edward constantly warns Bella against being with him, perceiving her life to be at constant risk if she continues to associate with him because the scent of her blood is more powerful to him than that of any other human he has ever encountered. Bella's love and confidence in Edward's restraint is such that his warnings go unheeded, and on an outing with the Cullens she becomes the target of a sadistic vampire, James. With his family's help, Edward is able to save Bella from James' predations, but Edward is still unwilling to change Bella into a vampire himself.
New Moon
New Moon begins with Bella being upset by her eighteenth birthday because it will make her "older" than her permanently seventeen-year-old boyfriend, Edward. During her birthday party, Bella gets a paper cut opening a present and Edward's brother, Jasper, instinctively hungers for Bella's blood, reminding Edward that their relationship puts her in danger. In a misguided attempt to protect Bella, he convinces her that he no longer loves her and moves away with his family, leaving her heartbroken and depressed for months.
To appease her worried father, Bella goes to a movie with her friend Jessica. While there, she carelessly approaches a group of men outside a bar and finds that she can hear Edward's voice when in dangerous situations. Desperate to hear his voice again, Bella seeks out danger; she asks Jacob Black to repair two motorcycles and teach her to ride one. Their friendship grows to be very strong, and Jacob admits that he has romantic feelings for Bella, though she does not reciprocate this. When a vampire named Laurent decides to attack her, Bella is saved by a pack of giant wolves. Later, Bella learns that Jacob and others from his tribe are werewolves, and that the vampire Victoria seeks to kill Bella to avenge James's death.
To hear Edward's voice, Bella attempts cliff-diving and nearly drowns, but she is saved by Jacob. Edward, after being mistakenly informed by Rosalie that Bella has committed suicide, travels to Volterra, Italy, to ask the Volturi to destroy him. Alice returns to Forks, and she and Bella pursue and successfully stop Edward. The trio speak to the Volturi and promise to turn Bella into a vampire eventually. Because most humans are unaware that vampires exist, the Volturi threaten to kill Bella if this promise is broken. Upon returning home, Edward tells Bella that he never stopped loving her and reveals that he only left Forks because he thought it would be for Bella's own good. He apologizes for this misguided action and asks for her forgiveness, which Bella quickly grants. Bella, intent on becoming a vampire, decides that Edward's family should vote on her fate. All but Rosalie and Edward vote affirmatively for her to be changed, but Edward agrees to change her himself if she will marry him first.
Eclipse
Eclipse continues the drama of Bella and Edward's relationship. Edward explains that he is reluctant to change Bella into a vampire because he believes that vampires are soulless creatures who have no place in heaven. Bella, whose opinion of marriage is jaded by her own parents' early divorce, agrees to marry Edward on the condition that he will make love to her while she is still human and then turn her into a vampire. He initially refuses, saying that he could easily lose control in the heat of the moment and unintentionally kill her. However, seeing how important it is to Bella, he agrees to try, but only after they are married.
The plot is driven by the machinations of the vampire Victoria, who first met Bella and the Cullens during the first book, Twilight. Victoria, seeking revenge for the death of her mate, James, is hunting Bella and building an army of new vampires. To combat this threat, a grudging truce is made between the Cullens and the Native American werewolf pack led by Sam Uley and Jacob Black, who pits himself against Edward as a love interest for Bella. Initially Bella sees him only as a friend but, despite her engagement to Edward, she shares a kiss with Jacob and realizes that she loves him as well. Ultimately, Edward accepts Bella's love for Jacob and successfully destroys Victoria, and Bella acknowledges that Edward is the most important person in her life, agreeing to tell her father of their engagement.
