First, I'm going to give a physical discription.
Edward Cullen is a 17 year old
vampire, changed by Carlisle. He is pale, like all other vampires, he has bronze hair, and face that any male model would trade his soul for. He had green eyes before he was changed, but as a
vampire, his eye color varied from golden butterscotch, to topaz, to coal
black when he's most
thirsty. And of course, he is unbelievably, dazzingly gorgeous.
Now for the other description.
Edward lives with his creater and mentor, Carlisle Cullen. He has the gift to read minds. Over time, Carlisle created
Esme, Rosalie,and Emmett Cullen. Since vampires don't age, the Cullen Coven has to move and "start over" before people suspect somehing is up. Edward and his family, including his "adopted" siblings, Alice and Jasper Cullen live in Forks, a small town in Washington. He goes to high
school, controlling his never-ending thirst, when
Isabella Swan, a new girl from Arizona comes to the
school. First confused by the fact that he cannot read Bella's mind, and then furious when the scent of he blood nearly sends him over the edge. However, Bella and Edward create a relationship that is stronger than anything. His love for Bella and his compassion for her is what makes Edward Cullen such a likeable character. Edward Cullen is a story by itself.
