In Twilight, Edward meets Bella Swan, a human girl whose thoughts he is unable to read, and whose blood smells overwhelmingly sweet to him. [2] He fights a growing attraction to her, but after saving her life on several occasions, he succumbs and eventually falls in love with her.  Edward admits to Bella that he is a vampire, and that although he retains the physical body of a seventeen-year-old, he was actually born on June 20, 1901. His adoptive father, Carlisle Cullen, transformed him into a vampire in 1918 to prevent him from dying in the Spanish influenza epidemic in Chicago, Illinois.  Carlisle instilled in him a sense of morality uncommon in most vampires, and central to his way of life is the refusal to consider humans as food.

	Edward is described in the book and by Bella as being charming, polite, determined, and very stubborn.  He is very protective over Bella and puts her safety, humanity and welfare before anything else.  He often over-analyzes situations and has a tendency to overreact, especially in situations where Bella's safety is at risk.  He retains some outdated speech from his human life in the early 20th century, and can be very romantic.  Edward sees himself as a monster, and after falling in love with Bella, he desperately wishes that he were human instead of a vampire.
