I don't know if the current dates are correct. bella becomes a vampire at age 18. plus, the death date, while im not sure if it matches up with the death date going from the original publishing of twilight, does not match up with breaking dawn's release.

I think there should be a character analysis for Bella, describing her personality and such. Anyone want to do it? What kind of things should we say in the analysis? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.100.18.232 ( talk) 15:53, 29 October 2007 (UTC)
really good idea. i would do it but i've only read twilight and i don't really know alot about bella. Princess Rebel ( talk) 12:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
I've made the character analysis (the Personality and Traits section). Feel free to edit it, I'm not really an experienced Twilighter yet. Princess Rebel ( talk) 12:59, 8 June 2008 (UTC)
While personally I think it should list her real name, and can use her nickname for the rest of the article, I'd like to hear other opinions. Most fictional character articles list the REAL NAME of the character, not their nickname, as the name of the article. Just wanting to hear other opinions. Disinclination 06:13, 12 March 2007 (UTC)
Bella needs to show more emotions in life experience, what I have read (2 books & Twilight) she needs to show some type of emotions. All she is just someone not being shocked, amazed, or show that she loves Edward. More emotions, please.

This part of the article, where it mentions Bella's birthday part at the Cullens', makes it sound like there was more than one vampire besides Jasper that came after Bella when she received the paper cut. I don't have any suggestions on how to fix this, so that's why I'm asking now if anyone has an idea on how to fix it.
Also, in this part of the article, where it mentions her hair color as dark brown, I remember somewhere in the book mentioning that Bella has mahogany hair, based on Mike Newton's observance of her hair having a slight tint of red in the light. It could have been just a fancy, descriptive word that Bella or Edward uses, but I think it should be changed. Spottedstar 14:10, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
I was just rereading Breaking Dawn and Jacob said something about "Their heads where close together, gold and mahogany" describing Rosalie and Bella, but I dunno. Most of the time it says she has dark brwon hair. AlicexCullen ( talk) 22:33, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
I REALLY think there is too much information put in this article. I had just finished reading the first book (twilight) and I went to wikipedia and reasearched "Bella Swan". It tells me
too much I did not want to know every single thing that happened in each book. I think some information should be left secret, and taken out of the "Bella Swan" and "Edward Cullen" articles. —Preceding

I just tagged the article with a fictional-universe tag. It's not a major problem, just needs a little tweaking to make it an encyclopedic article without merely repeating the plotline of the books as though explaining the life-and-times of the character as though she were a real person.

The parts have been chosen for the Twilight movie, but the actors themselves aren't "portraying" anything in their pictures, are they? I think they will look...different in the movie. Putting the images of the actors/actresses up now would be like putting an image of Johnny Depp on the Jack Sparrow page.

I've moved this article from Isabella Cullen to Bella Swan, per WP:Common names. Bella is rarely ever called Isabella, and her surname is only Cullen in Breaking Dawn; for most of the series, she is known as Bella Swan. — Spanish lullaby ( talk) 04:49, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
But from about chapter 3 of Breaking Dawn, she's Bella Cullen, having married Edward... maybe that needs to go in somewhere... Fairweather01 ( talk) 22:56, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Jacob described as such an amazing person in twilight. Bella describes him with dark hair and skin color so rich, if she did not fall in love with Edward, she would have fallen in love with Jacob. Bella during the middle of the book is having second guesses when Edward leaves. Bella would have fallen deeply in love with Jacob if Alice had not come to see Bella. Anyway Jacob is trying throughout the whole series to win Bella over till the end when he sees that Edward and Bella are never going to be broken apart. Carlisle and Esme once said in breaking dawn part 1 "we are a family" and they always will be. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 50.141.142.133 ( talk) 01:52, 17 February 2013 (UTC)

What in heck does "excruciatingly beautiful" mean? Excruciatingly means painful, and I'm sure that everyone knows what beautiful is. So "painfully pretty" or "tortuously gorgeous" could be substituted? I doubt it. I guess that it just doesn't fit for me... —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 20:07, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
I think it should be kept the same as "excruciatingly beautiful" because that is how it is written in the book. Somewhere in the twilight book. Check it. It's there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.115.218 ( talk) 10:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Well, Bella's presence does cause Edward pain, at least in the first book, so if you're referring to Twilight, then there's your answer. However, if you're referring to any of the other books, e.g. New Moon, Eclipse, or Breaking Dawn, well then, Stephenie Meyer is probably just using words that she's already used, mayhap to tie in all of the books???? That's how I'd view it, at least... Spiritchik ( talk) 22:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Have you ever wondered what Bella's address in the book is???? Just seeing if I'm the only one... Spiritchik ( talk) 01:19, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
ok, Bella's current name is Isabella "Bella" Marie Cullen. But the article says it is Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan, can i change Swan to Cullen?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.67.237 ( talk) 18:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC) ok, i changed it. can someone tell me what i did wring if i did anything wrong BEFORE changing it please —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.67.237 ( talk) 18:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Bella becomes avampire 2 days before her 19th birthday making her 18 forever. She becomes a vampire on the day Renesmee is born because if she had not she would be dead.aT first Bela belives that she will be like every vampire in there first year,Bloody and Instable. To her surprise she finds that she has a sort of super mind control after she and Edward go hunting and she avoids killing some hikers —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lordofthering45 ( talk • contribs) 19:59, 7 December 2008 (UTC) and soon live happy ever after111111111
first of all shouldn't you add the part where she doesn't have supermind control because later on elezar tells her she is a shield. and if you read breaking dawn correctly you would know vampires only have up to one supernatural gift —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.219.67.132 ( talk) 00:37, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Actually it isn't 2 days. It's 3 days before her birthday. Miss Sunshine 22:57, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Nope, two. Carlisle said she was only out two days just after she woke up. :-) Fairweather01 ( talk) 04:29, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
Currently, it has Bella as 'Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan'. This should be changed to 'Isabella "Bella" Marie Cullen (née Swan)'. She is currently not a Swan, she is a Cullen, and therefore, the name that begins her topic (not the page name) should be her actual name. If we start out with her formal first name, we should put her official last name too, not her maiden name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.210.122.189 ( talk) 01:09, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Why can't they put names like Bella,Isabella,Bella Swan,or Bella Cullen? ( Twilight578 ( talk) 15:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC))
The introduction should include just the name the character is best known for, simply her maiden name. Including Bella's married name in the introduction is in-universe, plus the article also has to cater to those unfamiliar with the series. Married names are also prohibited in Harry Potter articles (i.e., "Hermione Granger" instead of "Hermione Weasley [nee Granger]"), and the Twilight characters should be no exception.
In addition, frivolous information such as her nicknames, occupation and gender have also been removed from the infobox, as Wiki is not a fansite. Such fluff is more suitable for the Twilight Wikia. sixtynine • spill it • 03:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm fully aware that Meyer created the character and Bella's married name and whatnot. The issue here is that the article should not be written as if the subject were an actual person, as is the case with any fictional-character article. That includes details such as age, occupation, nicknames, and so on in the infobox, which are unencyclopedic. sixtynine • spill it • 05:02, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I was reading through it and the introductory paragraphs are a bit screwy. The paragraphs summarizing events in the series at the start only go as far as New Moon, while the Information section has the Information heading in the wrong place. I'll try and fix it - if I fail, it might need attantion from someone else. Fairweather01 ( talk) 04:36, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
So far, Bella is the only book character in Wikipedia who has a "reception" section. Do you think this is necessary? Mo HH92 Talk 11:09, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
It also says that she has received ONLY negative reviews by critics. Could we change that, please? The character has been received well with some critics and the page ought to show both to save accusations of bias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.56.38 ( talk) 07:00, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
I looked at the "sources". Thats nothing but opinions of her character as a person. As she isn't a real person, that is pointless. There are no chriteria to rate a character as if they were a book or a car. So this is not acceptable. If you find a rating system for characters, let me know. This is the perfect example of a in universe writing. Its obvious that a character is going to have mostly in universe info, as they do not exist outside the universe. But no one has reviewed her as a character. they merely stated that she wasn't to their liking. Big difference. Im sure plenty of people like her, and plenty don't. Its not a fact of any kind. Lollipopfop ( talk) 22:20, 1 September 2010 (UTC) We can put it up to a vote or a further discussion, but for now let us go with the wiki majority and NOT go with a reception. If we do, we will have to make it a lot less biased.
So last night for some reason this crossed my mind: Is she named after Bela Lugosi (the actor who played Dracula is the 1930's)? Does anybody know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.201.220.181 ( talk) 04:39, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Just want to point out the Jacob and the other tribe members are not actually werewolves. They are shape shifters. This is explained in the final book during the confrontation with the Volturi.

I just deleted the reception portion. Its very strange to have a reception of a character even means. And who can say if it is positive or negative? People can only like or dislike a character, and that is a personal opinion. Its not appropriate. Lollipopfop ( talk) 22:10, 1 September 2010 (UTC) contact me if this bothers you, and we will put it up for a vote.
because let's be honest here, the ones who are demanding that the reception section be deleted are the usual twit-light fangirls who can't stand the fact that people with a rational mindset realize just what an awful, awful character she actually is —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.99.27.85 ( talk) 00:11, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm removing the recently added 1987 as Bella's year of birth. Compare the weekdays and dates, such as Monday 19 January in New Moon (Bella's back) and Monday 4 June in Eclipse (week from graduation), which are supposed to take place in the same year - to the actual calendar. They don't happen in the same year in real life and so the story is likely not intended to be pinned down to a specific year. Just a vague time frame - mid (first decade of 2000). No way to determine which year she's born. Slight Smile 03:02, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Has anyone tried asking Stephenie Meyer what year she wanted Bella to be born? That seems like the easiest thing. Or find an interview where she mentions it. She must have mentioned it at some point, or at least what year certain books are supposed to be in. Sazza21 ( talk) 09:37, 18 December 2012 (UTC)

This is a note saying that a Twilight Task Force might be in the works. A poll is currently being held here to see who would be willing to join. If you would like to join, please participate in this poll. Thanks, ~ Bella Swan ? 13:46, 6 September 2008 (UTC)
What in heck does "excruciatingly beautiful" mean? Excruciatingly means painful, and I'm sure that everyone knows what beautiful is. So "painfully pretty" or "tortuously gorgeous" could be substituted? I doubt it. I guess that it just doesn't fit for me... —Ed 17 for President Vote for Ed 20:07, 9 October 2008 (UTC)
I think it should be kept the same as "excruciatingly beautiful" because that is how it is written in the book. Somewhere in the twilight book. Check it. It's there. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.190.115.218 ( talk) 10:52, 16 November 2008 (UTC)
Well, Bella's presence does cause Edward pain, at least in the first book, so if you're referring to Twilight, then there's your answer. However, if you're referring to any of the other books, e.g. New Moon, Eclipse, or Breaking Dawn, well then, Stephenie Meyer is probably just using words that she's already used, mayhap to tie in all of the books???? That's how I'd view it, at least... Spiritchik ( talk) 22:07, 2 December 2008 (UTC)
Have you ever wondered what Bella's address in the book is???? Just seeing if I'm the only one... Spiritchik ( talk) 01:19, 21 November 2008 (UTC)
ok, Bella's current name is Isabella "Bella" Marie Cullen. But the article says it is Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan, can i change Swan to Cullen?!? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.67.237 ( talk) 18:43, 5 December 2008 (UTC) ok, i changed it. can someone tell me what i did wring if i did anything wrong BEFORE changing it please —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.171.67.237 ( talk) 18:46, 5 December 2008 (UTC)
Bella becomes avampire 2 days before her 19th birthday making her 18 forever. She becomes a vampire on the day Renesmee is born because if she had not she would be dead.aT first Bela belives that she will be like every vampire in there first year,Bloody and Instable. To her surprise she finds that she has a sort of super mind control after she and Edward go hunting and she avoids killing some hikers —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lordofthering45 ( talk • contribs) 19:59, 7 December 2008 (UTC) and soon live happy ever after111111111
first of all shouldn't you add the part where she doesn't have supermind control because later on elezar tells her she is a shield. and if you read breaking dawn correctly you would know vampires only have up to one supernatural gift —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.219.67.132 ( talk) 00:37, 23 January 2009 (UTC)
Actually it isn't 2 days. It's 3 days before her birthday. Miss Sunshine 22:57, 22 February 2009 (UTC)
Nope, two. Carlisle said she was only out two days just after she woke up. :-) Fairweather01 ( talk) 04:29, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
Currently, it has Bella as 'Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan'. This should be changed to 'Isabella "Bella" Marie Cullen (née Swan)'. She is currently not a Swan, she is a Cullen, and therefore, the name that begins her topic (not the page name) should be her actual name. If we start out with her formal first name, we should put her official last name too, not her maiden name. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.210.122.189 ( talk) 01:09, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Why can't they put names like Bella,Isabella,Bella Swan,or Bella Cullen? ( Twilight578 ( talk) 15:44, 12 April 2009 (UTC))
The introduction should include just the name the character is best known for, simply her maiden name. Including Bella's married name in the introduction is in-universe, plus the article also has to cater to those unfamiliar with the series. Married names are also prohibited in Harry Potter articles (i.e., "Hermione Granger" instead of "Hermione Weasley [nee Granger]"), and the Twilight characters should be no exception.
In addition, frivolous information such as her nicknames, occupation and gender have also been removed from the infobox, as Wiki is not a fansite. Such fluff is more suitable for the Twilight Wikia. sixtynine • spill it • 03:23, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I'm fully aware that Meyer created the character and Bella's married name and whatnot. The issue here is that the article should not be written as if the subject were an actual person, as is the case with any fictional-character article. That includes details such as age, occupation, nicknames, and so on in the infobox, which are unencyclopedic. sixtynine • spill it • 05:02, 14 August 2009 (UTC)
I was reading through it and the introductory paragraphs are a bit screwy. The paragraphs summarizing events in the series at the start only go as far as New Moon, while the Information section has the Information heading in the wrong place. I'll try and fix it - if I fail, it might need attantion from someone else. Fairweather01 ( talk) 04:36, 21 April 2009 (UTC)
So far, Bella is the only book character in Wikipedia who has a "reception" section. Do you think this is necessary? Mo HH92 Talk 11:09, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
It also says that she has received ONLY negative reviews by critics. Could we change that, please? The character has been received well with some critics and the page ought to show both to save accusations of bias. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.144.56.38 ( talk) 07:00, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
I looked at the "sources". Thats nothing but opinions of her character as a person. As she isn't a real person, that is pointless. There are no chriteria to rate a character as if they were a book or a car. So this is not acceptable. If you find a rating system for characters, let me know. This is the perfect example of a in universe writing. Its obvious that a character is going to have mostly in universe info, as they do not exist outside the universe. But no one has reviewed her as a character. they merely stated that she wasn't to their liking. Big difference. Im sure plenty of people like her, and plenty don't. Its not a fact of any kind. Lollipopfop ( talk) 22:20, 1 September 2010 (UTC) We can put it up to a vote or a further discussion, but for now let us go with the wiki majority and NOT go with a reception. If we do, we will have to make it a lot less biased.
So last night for some reason this crossed my mind: Is she named after Bela Lugosi (the actor who played Dracula is the 1930's)? Does anybody know? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.201.220.181 ( talk) 04:39, 16 August 2009 (UTC)

Just want to point out the Jacob and the other tribe members are not actually werewolves. They are shape shifters. This is explained in the final book during the confrontation with the Volturi. Aro says that because they are not werewolves, they will not attempt to destroy them. I'll edit the other articles. PNW Raven ( talk) 17:59, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

There is no other character article with this section. TheiGuard ( talk) 01:21, 11 June 2010 (UTC)
I just deleted the reception portion. Its very strange to have a reception of a character even means. And who can say if it is positive or negative? People can only like or dislike a character, and that is a personal opinion. Its not appropriate. Lollipopfop ( talk) 22:10, 1 September 2010 (UTC) contact me if this bothers you, and we will put it up for a vote.
because let's be honest here, the ones who are demanding that the reception section be deleted are the usual twit-light fangirls who can't stand the fact that people with a rational mindset realize just what an awful, awful character she actually is —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.99.27.85 ( talk) 00:11, 21 April 2011 (UTC)
I'm removing the recently added 1987 as Bella's year of birth. Compare the weekdays and dates, such as Monday 19 January in New Moon (Bella's back) and Monday 4 June in Eclipse (week from graduation), which are supposed to take place in the same year - to the actual calendar. They don't happen in the same year in real life and so the story is likely not intended to be pinned down to a specific year. Just a vague time frame - mid (first decade of 2000). No way to determine which year she's born. Slight Smile 03:02, 16 August 2012 (UTC)
Has anyone tried asking Stephenie Meyer what year she wanted Bella to be born? That seems like the easiest thing. Or find an interview where she mentions it. She must have mentioned it at some point, or at least what year certain books are supposed to be in. Sazza21 ( talk) 09:37, 18 December 2012 (UTC)
