Renesmee Cullen, the daughter of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan, was by far the oddest vampire in the Twilight series; read on to learn more about her and how she differs from other vampires. Twilight, the first book in a quartet of four, by Stephenie Meyer, introduced readers to a world where vampires, humans, and werewolves live. The romance between vampire Edward Cullen and human Bella Swan, which faced challenges because not all vampires approved of their connection, was the central theme of the novel.
Between 2008 and 2012, the Twilight books were adapted for the big screen, with the final book, Breaking Dawn, being split into two movies. Renesmee, the daughter of Edward and Bella, was first introduced in Breaking Dawn: Part 2 of the Twilight Saga, which attempted to stay as loyal to the original novel as possible (played by Mackenzie Foy). The films made the story more accessible to a larger audience, which also heightened several character-nature questions, such as what precisely is Renesmee and why and how she differs from other vampires in the Twilight realm.
Renesmee was conceived and delivered when Bella was still a human. Her name is a combination of Renée, Bella’s mother, and Esme, Edward’s adoptive mother. After giving birth to her, Bella was forced to become a vampire since her body could hardly cope. Renesmee is a “dhampir,” a cross between a vampire and a human, and as such, she possesses characteristics of both. Her heart beats, and while her skin is warm and smooth, it is as resilient as a vampire’s. Most importantly, she can subsist on either blood or food. She can also sleep and is not poisonous. Physically, she matures quite quickly, but after seven years, when she will look roughly 17 (exactly like Edward), she will reach adulthood and cease to age altogether.
Soon after her birth, Irina, a vampire from the Denali Coven, spotted her and mistakenly believed she was an eternal kid. As immortal children are forbidden to exist, Irina immediately contacted the Volturi. The Volturi have decided to forbid the existence of immortal children, who are young human children who were turned into vampires at a young age. Because a vampire’s mental and physical age is frozen when they are transformed, these children still exhibit childish behaviours and act impulsively, throwing tantrums that can kill those nearby. Irina’s mistake cost her her life because the Volturi are not the kind of people who are inclined to show mercy. It is understandable why she believed the Cullens had an eternal child.
