CULLEN FAMILY TREE
Each member of the Cullen family has their own story on how they became vampires. We already know how Edward Cullen first got bitten but what about teh rest of them? Here's a look inside their vampire family tree.
is the adopted daughter of Carlisle and Esme Cullen, adoptive sister of Edward, Rosalie, and Emmett, and wife of Jasper. Alice is described as being petite and pixie-like at 4'10" with a graceful gait and hair that is short, spiky, and black. Her special ability to have premonitions as a human. However, her ability is limited; she is only able to see the outcome of a decision once it is made. Due to this decisions made in the spur of the moment cannot be foreseen. Alice can see futures involving humans and vampires, but it is unable to see those of werewolves or half-breeds. Alice is portrayed as being bubbly and optimistic, and loves and cares for Bella like a sister. She is also close to her brother, Edward, and enjoys shopping, makeovers, and throwing parties. Alice's early history is vague, as she remembers nothing of her human life because she was made and then left alone to turn into a vampire. Later on she has found out that she was born 1901 in Biloxi, Mississippi. Alice was later committed (for having preminitions) to an asylum where an older vampire gentlemen who worked there changed her to protect her from James, a tracker vampire (destroyed by Cullen’s in Twilight) who was hunting her. After some research, she found her grave ad discovered that the date n her tombstone matched her date of her admission to the asylum. Through her research she additionally had a younger sister named Cynthia, and that Cynthia's daughter, Alice's niece, is still alive in Biloxi.
Carlisle Cullen
(aka Stregone Benefice)
is Esme's husband and Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper’s adoptive dad/creator. His physical age is 23 and he's 6'2" and looks like a blonde model. Carlisle theorizes that when a human is turned into a vampire, they will have an enhanced ability from heir previous life. He believes he brought compassion from his human life. Carlisle has had centuries to perfect his medicinal talents, therefore making an excellent doctor. Unlike most vampires he is not at all tempted by the scent of human blood, due to over 300 years his spent holding his temptations. Carlisle Cullen was the son an Anglican pastor, born in 1640s London, England, during a time of religious upheaval. His father and other pastors hunted creatures such as witches, werewolves, and vampires often mistaking humans for these mythological creatures. As his father grew older, Carlisle assumed his ole. One night, he was attacked by a vampire and left to die on the streets. Knowing he would be rejected by society, he hid himself and silently endured the agonizing transformation that merged him into a vampire. Horrified by what he had become, he tried killing himself many different times in many different ways, but of course we all know those attempts failed due to his power. One night, unable to endure hunger anymore, he fed on some passing deer. Subsequently realizing he could avoid feeding on humans, with commitment to wanting to resist his blood lust and to becoming the great experienced doctor, we know and love him as now.
Esme Cullen
is Carlisle's wife and the adoptive mother to Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper. She enjoys restoring antique houses and her physical age is 26 and she is 5'6". She has no special power, has an extremely powerful ability to love passionately. Esme was born in 1895 in Columbus, Ohio (just up the road from me...lol), where she was treated at the age of 16 by Carlisle for breaking her leg while climbing a tree. She went on to marry Charles Evenson, he abused her badly. After finding out she was pregnant, she ran away and gave birth to her son, who unfortunately died a couple days later. She was to extremely grief-stricken by his death, she attempted jumping off a cliff. Presumed dead, she was brought to a morgue. Carlisle, who remembered her from years before, was able to sense her heartbeat by hearing it and transformed her into a vampire. Esme fell in love and married him soon after. She loves all her adoptive children as much as she did love her own son, but still grieves that she is unable herself to bear another child of her own. Esme owns a South American island named "Isle Esme" that purchased by her gorgeously godly husband, Carlisle, as a wedding gift for her.
is the adoptive daughter to Esme and Carlisle, adoptive sister to Edward, Alice, and Jasper, and wife to Emmett. Her physical age is 18, and she was born in 1915 in Rochester, NY, as the daughter of a reputable banker. Rosalie had been described as being the most beautiful person in the world, even for a vampire; she is tall, statuesque, and has long, way blonde hair. As a human, Rosalie had been described as a woman who had beauty, elegance, class, and eyes resembling violets. Royce King II took a special interest with her and soon the two had gotten engaged. Rosalie was extremely envious of her good friend Vera and her baby boy and, while on a visit, noticed she not share the same relationship with Royce as Vera did with her husband. Dismissing it, Rosalie later walked home and met her fiancée and his friends overly intoxicated. Royce, bragged to them about his fiancée’s absolute beauty, and his friends presumed to beat and rape Rosalie and leave in the cold, dark snow covered streets to die. Carlisle, coming across her, decided to change her into a vampire. After her transformation, she tortured and killed those who had beaten her, including Royce, but did not drink their blood, just left them for dead like they did her.
Rosalie is known to be very vain, self-centered, and wishes to be human and have children, so much so that she give her immortality and beauty for it. In New Moon, she mistakenly reports to Edward that Bella is dead after supposedly commits suicide, though was actually just partaking in the extreme sport of cliff-diving. Edward thus proceeds to travel to Italy, desiring to have the Volturi kill him.
Emmett Cullen
(born Emmett McCarty)
Rosalie's husband, Carlisle and Esme's adopted son, and Edward, Alice, Jasper's adoptive brother. Emmett was 20 and living in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, in 1935 when he was mauled by a grizzly bear. The injuries he on took was so severe and he was found by Rosalie, who had been hunting in that area(she smelled his blood along with hearing his agonizing screams, since he was in pain) at the time. Rosalie, who was reminded of her friend Vera's husband and baby having the same curls, dimples, and innocent appearance, carried him to Carlisle from over a hundred miles to Appalachia where Rosalie asked Carlisle to spare his life by turning him into a vampire. Emmett joined the Carlisle's coven, but initially had trouble adjusting to the family's diet of animal blood, ONLY!
Jasper Hale
(born Jasper Whitlock)
is the adopted son of Carlisle and Esme, adoptive brother of Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie, and husband of Alice. He was born in Texas and the joined the Confederate States Army in 1861 to serve in the Civil War. Due to his extremely charismatic personality, he ascended through the ranks very quickly. Jasper was turned into a vampire in 1863 by a vampire named Maria when he was 20 yrs. old. As a vampire, he gained the ability to manipulate the emotions of those around him. Recognizing high rank in the army, Maria decided to change into a vampire to help her claim territory in Monterrey. Jasper's responsibility was to train young vampires and then kill them when they were no longer helpful (about a year after their transformation- when they their strength began to weaken and fade.) After about a century of this, he grew tired and weary of the lifestyle and joined an old friend, Peter, and his girlfriend, Charlotte. Jasper left the two eventually, not wanting to feed on humans he could feel his prey's agonizing pains of emotions as they died. Alice, foreseeing that they would be together, met him in a half-empty diner in Philadelphia, and together they sought out the Cullen family. His body is covered in crescent-shaped scars, after all the many years of training newborn vampires to fight in the armies.
