| Bella is described in the novels as being pale-skinned with brown hair
and eyes, and a heart shaped face. Beyond this, a detailed description
of her appearance is never given in the series. Stephenie Meyer explains
that she "left out a detailed description of Bella in the book so that
the reader could more easily step into her shoes." While Meyer stresses
that "Bella's looks are open to interpretation", she does supply her own
personal interpretation on her website, describing Bella as:” very fair-skinned,
with long, straight, dark brown hair and chocolate brown eyes. Her
face is heart-shaped—a wide forehead with a widow's peak, large, wide-spaced
eyes, prominent cheekbones, and then a thin nose and a narrow jaw with
a pointed chin. Her lips are a little out of proportion, a bit too
full for her jaw line. Her eyebrows are darker than her hair and
more straight than they are arched. She's five foot four inches tall,
slender but not at all muscular, and weighs about 115 pounds. She
has stubby fingernails because she has a nervous habit of biting them." |
