Indonesia Emas 2045 adalah suatu
kondisi yang ingin dan diharapkan telah diwujudkan pada hal yang lebih positif
sebagai peringatan 1 abad atau 100 tahun dari peristiwa Indonesia Merdeka pada
tahun 1945. Pada saat itu diharapkan bahwa nantinya seluruh infrastruktur yang
ada di berbagai daerah di Indonesia dapat menjadi lebih baik dan maju dari saat
sekarang. Selain itu juga pada masa itu diharapkan kalau nantinya bangsa
Indonesia sudah menjadi negara yang maju , bukan lagi negara yang perkembangannya
masih menjadi negara berkembang.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Terlepas dari berbagai harapan
dan pandangan yang ingin diwujudkan pada 100 tahun merdekanya bangsa Indonesia
pada tahun 2045, diperlukan peran aktif
dari warga Indonesianya itu sendiri. Peran dari Generasi Emas juga sangat
diperlukan dikarenakan melalui para generasi penerus bangsa inilah masa depan
dari perkembangan Indonesia ditentukan. Apa yang menyebabkan sanag Generasi
Emas ini mejadi motor dari perkembangan dari bangsa Indonesia ? Generasi Emas
ini nantinya berperan menjadi seorang individu atau kelompok yang memiliki
sifat aktif, solutif, dan kritis serta berani dalam ikut berperan aktif ikut
membangun Indonesia, bukan lagi menjadi suatu kelompok yang pasif atau apatis
terrhadap bangsanya sendiri. Bagaimana caranya mewujudkan Generasi yang bisa
dibilang “Emas” ini sebelum menciptakan yang namanya “Indonensia Emas 2045” ? Sebenarnya
ada 3 cara yang menjadi pokok dalam menciptakan suatu Generasi Emas untuk
Indonesia Emas nanti, yaitu : Pendidikan, IPTEK, dan Pancasila itu sendiri.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Mengapa Pendidikan harus ada
dalam menciptakan Generasi Emas ? Bila suatu individu tidak mendapatkan
pendidikan, apa yang akan terjadi ? Pastinya seorang individu tersebut tidak
akan memiliki pengetahuan dan wawasan yang cukup luas. Tanpa adanya
pengetahuan, maka seseorang dapat dikatakan masih belum dapat membantu
perkembangan bangsanya sendiri secara maksimal. Maka dari itu diperlukan
pendidikan dalam memabngun Generasi Emas untuk masa depan yang lebih baik.
Pendidikan seharusnya dilakukan mulai dari saat individu tersebut masih kecil
hingga dewasa, dengan hal ini maka akan tercipta generasi yang intelektual.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Selain Pendidikan, juga terdapat
IPTEK yang diperlukan oleh generasi muda yang ada sekarang. Dengan mendapatkan
pengetahuan mengenai IPTEK yang ada, maka individu dapat merencanakan dan
merancangkan suatu inovasi baru yang dapat membantu Indonesia dalam
permasalahan infrastruktur yang masih kurang dan menciptakan produk IPTEK baru
yang juga dapat membantu dalam perkonomian bangsa agar bangsa ini dapat menjadi
bangsa yang maju. Dengan adanya IPTEK ini juga dapat membuat Indonesia memiliki
cukup kekuataqn untuk bersaing dalam kancah internasional dalam pemasaran
produk yang dimilki dan mengatasnamkan bangsa Indonesia itu sendiri dan juga
akhirnya tidak perlu mengimport dan menggunakan produk luar negeri.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Terakhir terdapat Pancasila yang
dapat menciptakan generasi muda menjadi Generasi Emas. Pancasila memiliki
fungsi dalam menjaga sikap, moral, dan etika pada seluruh warga Indonesia,
khususnya generasi muda yang ada pada saat sekarang dan nanti. Dengan adanya
Pancasila, nliai-nliai luhur dan budi pekerti yang dimiliki bangsa Indonesia
dapat dipertahankan dan digunakan untuk mengubah struktur dan kultur yang
menyebabkan degradasi atau pengikisan karakter pada generasi muda bangsa
Indonesia akibat dari adanya pengaruh dari Era Globalisasi. Pancasila juga
memiliki peran dalam menyeleksi budaya mana saja yang dapat diikuti oleh bangsa
Indonesia dan mana yang tidak cocok untuk diikuti oleh kaum muda Indonesia.<o:p></o:p></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
Dengan adanya 3 macam hal pokok
diatas, maka generasi muda Indonesia saat ini bisa menjadi Generasi Emas yang
Indonesia punya di masa depan nantinya. Jika Indoensia sudah memiliki Generasi
Emas yang sudah mumpuni dan segala 3 hal pokok diatas sudah dimaksimalkan dan
ditingkatkan, maka kita dapat memanfaatkan peran dan fungsi mereka dalam ikut
membantu dan berperan aktif membangun bangsa Indonesia. Dalam hal ini para
Generasi Emas ini dapat membantu dalam mengajar murid-murid pada tempat yang
terpencil dan terpelosok, ikut membantu dalam memberikan ide dan inovasi untuk
menciptakan produk dalam negeri, dan ikut membantu dalam perbaikan
infrastruktur suatu daerah yang terpencil yang belum memiliki akses yang layak,
serta dapat menanamkan nilai-nilai Pancasila dan nilai luhur dalam kehidupannya
sehari-hari maupun terhadap orang lain disekitarnya. Maka dari hal inilah
nantinya Indonesia dapat menjadi Indonesia Emas yang dimulai dari hal-hal yang
kecil.<o:p></o:p></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">okay! 2013............ it was a really absurd year for me. sorry if i skip some stories cause i forgot what happened in that year #peaceout</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">of course i passed my junior high school and went to senior high school. i went to SMAN 5 Denpasar or people usually called it SMANELA. i used to think that asik banget jadi anak sma, bisa terang-terangan bawa kendaraan ke sekolah haha. </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">i finally began my senior high school life.</span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">karena terlalu asik sama pergaulan smp yang solid banget, pas masuk sma di denpasar tuh rasanya aneh banget. seriously. it feels like i wouldn't get a friend here. tapi setelah berjalan satu semester, baru keliatan tuh aslinya (wkwk udah kaya apaan aja) ternyata anak-anak denpasar juga asik kok! tapi tetep aja ya kan dimanapun kalian berada pasti ada 'real friends' & 'fake friends' *ups. di awal masa smaku di denpasar, aku sempat 'terjebak' dalam pergaulan yang salah, tapi untungnya itu ga bertahan lama. waktu awal masa smaku, aku seing banget ngerasain yang namanya kangen sama pergaulan semasa smp. but even my junior high school friends and i got separated by senior high school distance, we still make contact to each other (till now actually). kita masih sering ngumpul bareng walaupun semua udah punya kesibukannya masing-masing. and i'm thankful for that! biasanya kalau semua lagi ngumpul, pasti aja ada sesi curhat tentang sma masing-masing (terutama dari yang sekolah di denpasar karena mostly sekolahnya di kuta). waktu aku kelas 10 dan ditanya mau ikut ekskul apa, sebenernya aku sempet dilema antara softball dan pers. tapi aku ragu-ragu ikut softball. kenapa ragu-ragu? soalnya, to be honest, aku gatau softball itu apa wkwkkwkw so i decided to choose pers/journalism as my extracurricular. about my relationship? i used to have one. and it ends in november 22nd 2013. don't ask me to tell you the full story and who's my boyfie that time. the point is that i can't moved on in the rest of 2013 (don't ask me why).</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">next, 2014....</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">forget about what happened in 2013, lets move on!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">in the middle of my 10th grade, i met someone who changed my life. Natasha Althea Findiarni. or usually called Findi or Natasha (the one that i called 'kecil'). she's my best friend, my best partner in almost everything, my sister from another mother, my teacher in softball thingy (haha) she was born in January 5th 1998. she's bigger than me, but smaller than me(?) by the way, she's a huge fan of one direction! we first met because of our English test, she asked me what my answers are and so do i. as i said before, i went on dilemma between softball and journalism when i choose my extracurricular for the first time. and finally my choice goes to journalism. Natasha is the person behind my choice to choose softball as my second extracurricular. why do i said second extracurricular? because when i choose softball, i am still the member of the journalism club. she told me about softball's basics, about how strong is the friendship between the members of smanela's baseball and softball club, the trophies that bsclima got, the chance to play as a bali's softball player, or even indonesia's, and many other things. in the beginning of my 11th grade, i started my softball activities. time flies, i fell more into softball and someone who 'catch' my heart. before i started my softball activities, i already admires him as a catcher for smanela's baseball team. just admires him, not more. and when i started my softball thingy, he asked the newbies who's come into the journalism's bazaar and i said i was the committee of that bazaar and of course i'll come after the practice finished. he asked me curiously that time. we got closer and finally we declared ourselves as a couple on august 2014. but sadly, this relationship only lasts for 1 month but i cant moved on for almost 2 years. (again, don't ask me why)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">by the way, here's one of my picture with Natasha.....</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">this picture was taken when we were in the 12th grade when we did our photoshoot for our yearbook hehe.....</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">lets move to 2015!!!!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">this year is a lil-bit flat year for me because nothing 'too-memorable' happened and i don't know why when i write this i just forgot what happened to me in 2015 hehehehe i'm so sorry guys hehehe..</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">but here's the one story that i won't forget......</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">i had a terrible incident. this happened to me and one of my friend. it happened at 6p.m while we were back to the school after we took some stuffs from our friend. in that time, i was the one who drove the motorbike and we passed a new building at my school. our destination is going to the school field. and that building is really near to the field. i didn't know that there's slippery sand and suddenly we fell to the ground. i thought there's nothing happen on us until my friend said that there's something wrong with her leg (in the beginning i cant see what's wrong because she closed it and i thought her leg was just got bruise) i forced her to open her leg and............................. her leg was broke. yes, broke. b-r-o-k-e. i left her for a moment and i ran into the field, searching for my coaches (because we were doing our softball practice that day). my coaches took her to the hospital, i stayed at school in tears and of course feeling guilty to her and her family. around 7p.m i came to the hospital, i met her family and i beg for their forgiveness in tears. they said that its okay and it's not my fault because it was an accident. but in my deep thoughts it's still my fault and i deserve a punishment for this. i already got a punishment from my classmates and i know i deserve it. (i won't tell you what's the punishment, it's just for me and i won't share it) </span><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">how lucky i am, Natasha is still right there for me in my worst time. she knows all my deep thoughts, how do i feel, how to make me strong, she knows how to cheer me up. i really thank her for everything. okay, back to the story. after 3 weeks (i think), she's back to school with that metals on her leg's bones. everything went so awkward between us. after 2 months, we started to talk again and i think my punishment for that incident is over...</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">2016~ </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">the year that full of stars</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">this year is my adventure of a lifetime (i'm a fan of Coldplay by the way!)</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">this year i finally graduated from SMAN 5 Denpasar, but my adventure begins when i just graduated from smanela. in the beginning, i planned to take my college in Bandung at one of a private university. but somehow, i changed my mind to take my college at a state university and my choice goes to Brawijaya University (or well known as UB). i took Information System as my study program. it was really hard to get into this university, i tried through SNMPTN & SBMPTN but i FAILED huhu:( and i finally tried through SPMK (i told myself that this is my last chance to reach my 'target') AND I DID IT! I'M ACCEPTED AS ONE OF UB'S STUDENTS! YEAYYYY!!!!! I'M SO HAPPY! (okay enough wkwk) daaaannnnn sekarang aku menjalani hari-hariku sebagai mahasiswi semester 1 (maba.. iya, maba.. m-a-b-a.. yang baru selesai ospek ituloo, yang (katanya) tugasnya masih sedikit, yang (katanya) (lagi) masih bisa santaiiii wkwk) Sistem Informasi Fakultas Ilmu Komputer Universitas Brawijaya Malang (yeayyy!! *applause*) about relationship? hmmmm kasi tau ga yaaaaaaa....... hahahaha</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;">okay, so i'm taken. i'm in a relationship with my first (and hopefully the last) love, my one and only Hardy Padmayudha Nugraha. or usually called Yudha or Hardy (but i usually called him my fluffy-tummy boyfie) jadi yudha itu 'my first crush' (udah kaya iklan body cologne wkwk) terus gatau kenapa rasaku ke dia gabisa ilang gitu sampe sekarang hehe.. banyak hal yang kita laluin sampai akhirnya bisa bareng-bareng lagi. makanya, sekarang kita lebih menghargai satu sama lain karena (balik lagi) kita menghargai proses yang sudah kita lalui untuk bisa bareng-bareng lagi. dan kita sama-sama tau kalau prosesnya itu engga gampang. aku sama yudha (sampai tulisan ini dibuat) udh jalan lagi selama 6 bulan kurang lebih (ntar lagi brojol *eh #salahfokus) alhamdulillah, hubungan kita lancar-lancar aja.. wkwk</span></div>

<span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: justify;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif; text-align: justify;">Adalah sejenis layanan yang memungkinkan setiap email yang masuk ke dalam mailbox di server komputer dapat ditampung di komputer lokal dan anda dapat membacanya saat koneksi internet tidak terhubungkan. Jenis email ini bisa didapatkan bagi anda yang memiliki koneksi internet dari rumah atau kantor.</span><br />
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><br />Kelebihan Pop Mail<br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Kemampuannya untuk dibaca secara offline tidak terhubung dengan internet. Anda hanya perlu masuk ke server pop mail lalu download semua surat yang masuk dan membacanya kemudian. Jenis email ini dapat dibuat dengan menggunakan program client email seperti outlook express.</span></div>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><br />Kekurangan Pop Mail<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">
Pengecekan email tidak dapat dilakukan di sembarang tempat, hanya bisa dilakukan di rumah atau kantor yang sudah dipasang program ini sebelumnya.</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Jenis email ini paling banyak digunakan oleh kita karena selain pembuatannya yang mudah juga gratis disediakan oleh berbagai situs. Seperti yahoo, gmail, lycosmail, dll.</span></div>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><br />Kelebihan Web mail<br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Pengecekan email dapat dilakukan kapan saja dimana saja. Bila tak ada komputer, bisa dilakukan pengecekan melalui handphone. Sangat mudah.</span></div>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">
</span><span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><br /> Kekurangan Web mail</span><span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Pengecekan email harus selalu terhubung dengan ineternet. Bila memiliki paket koneksi internet unlimited tentu tak menjadi maslah berapa pun jumlah email yang diterima. Namun, bagi mereka yang tidak memiliki koneksi seperti itu, akan memerlukan biaya berlebih karena penggunaan internet yang cukup lama di warung internet.</span></div>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><br /><span style="font-size: large;">Email forwarding</span></span><span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Jenis email ini cukup bermanfaat bagi anda yang memiliki banyak akun email. Pada dasarnya email ini adalah layanan email yang meneruskan email yang dikirim pada kita ke akun email lain yang dimiliki.</span></div>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><br />Kelebihan Email forwarding</span><span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Tidak perlu memberitahukan alamat email yang baru kepada teman atau kerabat karena pesan yang masuk akan diterima setelah diteruskan dari akun email kita yang sebelumnya. Email yang baru dapat desembunyikan keberadaannya karena surat akan tetap sampai ke kita berkat alternatif email yang kita miliki.</span></div>
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /><br />Kekurangan Email forwarding</span><span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: cyan; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Karena email hanya menunggu terusan email dari alamat lain, maka email akan tiba di alamat anda dalam waktu yang cukup lama. Tidak sesingkat mengirimkan email langsung.</span></div>

He is the <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Relationships" title="Relationships">husband</a> of <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Edward_Cullen#Bella_Swan">Bella Swan</a> and the father of <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Edward_Cullen#Renesmee_Cullen">Renesmee Cullen</a>.

<br />
After nearly dying from the <a class="extiw" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish_influenza" title="wikipedia:Spanish influenza">Spanish influenza</a>
in 1918 in Chicago, Edward was turned into a vampire by Carlisle, as
the only alternative to death. Over the next ninety years, the pair
gathered a family of vampires around themselves and called themselves "<a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Vegetarian" title="Vegetarian">vegetarians</a>".<br />
<span title="Source: Twilight (film)"><a name='more'></a></span><br />

<span class="mw-headline" id="Early_life">Early life</span></h3>
Edward Anthony Masen was born on June 20, 1901 in <a class="extiw" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago,_Illinois" title="wikipedia:Chicago, Illinois">Chicago, Illinois</a>; the only child of <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Edward_Masen,_Sr." title="Edward Masen, Sr.">Edward</a> and <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Elizabeth_Masen" title="Elizabeth Masen">Elizabeth Masen</a>.
His father provided Edward with many advantages as a successful lawyer,
including music lessons and the opportunity to attend private school;
however, he and his father were rather emotionally distant due to his
busy career that often drew him away from home for business. This
absence was made up for by his relationship with his mother; he was the
center of her life.
<br />
<figure class="thumb tleft thumbinner" style="width: 252px;"><figcaption class="thumbcaption">A dying Edward found by <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Carlisle_Cullen" title="Carlisle Cullen">Carlisle</a>.</figcaption></figure><br />
<div class="picture-attribution">
<br />
<a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/User:Sharke7sos"></a></div>
Edward excelled at his studies and became an accomplished pianist. As
he grew older, Edward became enamored with the life of a soldier. World
War I raged during most of his adolescence, and Edward dreamed of
joining the army as soon as he turned 18, which he reminisced about in <i><a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Midnight_Sun" title="Midnight Sun">Midnight Sun</a></i>,
saying that his love for his mother was the only thing that made him
reluctant to the thought other than his underage. That changed, however,
when he and his parents became sick with the Spanish Influenza in 1918.
His father died in the first wave of the influenza. Edward's mother
later contracted the Spanish Influenza and begged the doctor who was
taking care of them, Dr. <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Carlisle_Cullen" title="Carlisle Cullen">Carlisle Cullen</a>, to do everything within his power to save her son. (Elizabeth: "You must do everything in <i>your </i>power.
What others cannot do, that is what you must do for my Edward.")
Carlisle acted on her wishes when Edward was near death himself. Shortly
after Elizabeth died, Carlisle took Edward from the hospital, brought
him to his house, and there changed him into a vampire.
<br />
Edward formed a deep bond with Carlisle, who became a father
figure to him, gaining Edward's trust and love the way his natural
father never had. It was Carlisle who first realized Edward's telepathic
abilities; he noticed Edward answering questions that Carlisle had not
asked aloud. Edward had always had a knack for reading people; after his
transformation, this ability blossomed into a true psychic talent. In
1921, Edward gained a mother when Carlisle changed <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Esme_Cullen" title="Esme Cullen">Esme</a>
into a vampire to save her life after her suicide attempt. Edward was
still young enough to appreciate a mother's care, and Esme gave it to
him.
<br />
<figure class="thumb tright thumbinner" style="width: 252px;"><figcaption class="thumbcaption"><br />Edward had a rebellious period at the beginning of his vampire life
and left Carlisle and Esme in 1927. During his lone time, he used his
mind reading ability to attack the worst people of society, thinking
that, as long as he was serving justice, it would not matter that he was
feeding on humans. His first victim was Esme's abusive ex-husband, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Charles_Evenson" title="Charles Evenson">Charles Evenson</a>.
A few years later, he regretted this decision and returned to
Carlisle's family and their diet of animal blood in 1931. In 1933,
Carlisle changed a would-be socialite named <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Rosalie_Hale" title="Rosalie Hale">Rosalie Hale</a> into a vampire after finding her left for dead by her <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Royce_King_II" title="Royce King II">fiancé</a>.
Carlisle and Esme were sometimes concerned that he had no romance in
his life, which was partly what prompted Carlisle to change Rosalie.
However, as stunningly beautiful as Rosalie was, Edward could not stand
her shallow and self-absorbed mind, and the two became nothing more than
siblings, and weren't always on good terms. <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Emmett_Cullen" title="Emmett Cullen">Emmett Cullen</a>
became Edward's adoptive brother when Rosalie found him near death from
a bear attack and fell in love with him in 1935. Already vampires, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Jasper_Hale" title="Jasper Hale">Jasper</a> and <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Alice_Cullen" title="Alice Cullen">Alice</a>
sought out and found the Cullens in 1950, and adopted themselves into
the family after both escaping their tragic pasts. The moment they
arrived, Alice moved into Edward's room, much to his dismay.
<br />
When the Cullen family were living in <a class="extiw" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alaska" title="wikipedia:Alaska">Alaska</a>, they encountered the <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Denali_Coven" title="Denali Coven">Denali Coven</a>, the only other group that shared their diet of animal blood. The leader <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Tanya" title="Tanya">Tanya</a> showed affection toward Edward, but he did not share that interest.
<br />
By 2005, he had attended several colleges and universities,
earned two medical degrees and studied several subjects. With his
natural parents both passed away, he inherited the Masen house in
Chicago, and about every 50 years, he would inherit his family fortune
from himself, pretending to be a new heir.<br />

</dd></dl>
</div>
At the beginning of <i><a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Twilight" title="Twilight">Twilight</a></i>,
Edward is rather depressed, sullen and brooding, and his family notices
it. They know he is missing something from his life, though he himself
doesn't. When Bella Swan moves to town, he feels frustrated by his
inability to read her thoughts and is forced to listen to everyone
else's thoughts about her to find out what he can, and realizes that all
of the boys already like her. He feels very protective of her, trying
desperately to rationalize his feelings of lust over her overwhelmingly
attractive scent. When she is forced to sit next to him in Biology and
he smells her blood, he insanely wants to kill her, and thinks about
massacring the whole class as well. Promptly after leaving school he
left for <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Denali,_Alaska" title="Denali, Alaska">Denali</a>, where a fellow <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Vegetarian" title="Vegetarian">vegetarian</a> <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Denali_Coven" title="Denali Coven">coven</a> lived, to avoid causing disappointment to his parents, in particular Carlisle Cullen.
<br />
<figure class="thumb tright thumbinner" style="width: 252px;"><figcaption class="thumbcaption"><a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Bella" title="Bella"><br /></a>A week later, he returns after some persuasion from <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Tanya" title="Tanya">Tanya</a>,
the leader of the coven in Denali, with his family being extremely
protective of him, watching for any signs of danger. Not wanting to
leave a bad memory to Bella, he introduces himself to her in Biology,
and is fascinated by her blood and by the fact that he can't read her
mind, and because of that, he isn't quick to dismiss her like he would
any other human. She answers all of his questions in different ways than
he thought she would, mostly because he cannot read her thoughts. He
saves her from <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Tyler_Crowley" title="Tyler Crowley">Tyler</a>'s van, and then refuses to speak to her for a long period of time. But after all the time not speaking to her, the other boys, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Mike_Newton" title="Mike Newton">Mike Newton</a>
in particular, think that nothing is going on between the two and
decide to make a move on her. As Edward watches them he realizes that he
is starting to feel jealous of them, but decides to dismiss it.
However, after sneaking into her room at night several times to watch
her sleep, she says his name and he realizes that he has fallen in love
with her. Over the next few weeks, he starts to pursue her and after one
night together in <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Port_Angeles" title="Port Angeles">Port Angeles</a>,
he discovers that she knows he is a vampire and that she has fallen in
love with him too. The two then form a deep emotional relationship.
After a while, Edward invites Bella over to his house to meet his
family, who, except for Rosalie, immediately take a great liking to
Bella.
<br />
<figure class="thumb tleft thumbinner" style="width: 252px;"><figcaption class="thumbcaption"><br />Alice, Edward's sister, invites them both to play baseball with them.
Edward takes Bella to the field, but some unexpected guests show up: <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/James" title="James">James</a>, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Laurent" title="Laurent">Laurent</a>, and <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Victoria" title="Victoria">Victoria</a>
who are nomadic vampires. James catches her scent and decides to hunt
Bella for sport, as tracking was his obsession. After some thoughts from
Bella, Alice, and Emmett, Edward allows them to try to use Bella's
plan: Bella convinces <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Charlie" title="Charlie">Charlie</a> that she is leaving town, and Alice and Jasper take her to hide in <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Phoenix" title="Phoenix">Phoenix</a>.
Edward tries to lead James away, but loses his trail. He then flies to
Phoenix to see Bella and finds James, who has bitten her. Edward first
thinks she's dead and goes crazy with pain and guilt. Bella describes
him as "<i>an angel that is unfortunate to be so unhappy that he cries tearless broken sobs</i>".
This makes him more beautiful than she ever has seen, besides the time
he became outraged because she didn't care at first that he wanted to
kill her. Edward's family arrive and destroy James, while Edward sucks
the venom out of Bella's system to prevent her from turning, though it
takes a high level of willpower to keep him from killing her. He then
lifts her up and carries her out of the burning building. At the
hospital, he tries to talk Bella into moving to Florida to live with her
mother in order to protect her from his world, but she talks him out of
the idea. After they return to Forks, Edward takes Bella to their prom,
much to her dismay. He resolves that he isn't going to change her into a
vampire, but she is adamant that the discussion isn't over.<br />

</div>
The story of <i><a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/New_Moon" title="New Moon">New Moon</a></i>
begins with Bella being very upset by her 18th birthday, because she'll
be "older" than the permanently 17-year-old Edward. During her birthday
party Bella accidentally gets a paper cut while unwrapping a present,
and Edward's brother, Jasper, attacks her, although members of the <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Olympic_Coven" title="Olympic Coven">Cullen family</a>
hold him back while Edward knocks Bella behind him in an attempt to get
her away from Jasper. Bella falls through a glass table, receiving an
arm laceration and forcing Emmett, Alice, Jasper, Rosalie, a worried
Edward and an apologetic Esme to leave the room. Jasper's instinctive
hunger for Bella's blood reminds Edward of the continual danger their
relationship puts her in.
<br />
In a misguided attempt to protect Bella, he convinces her that he
does not want her anymore and abandons her in the forest. He moves away
with his family, leaving her heartbroken and depressed, as if her life
as she knew it ceased to exist. Although Edward lived as a vampire
without romantic love for nearly a century before meeting Bella, he
finds it difficult to live without her, becoming severely depressed at
the prospect of an infinitely long and meaningless life. To keep his
mind occupied, he leaves his family up North and tries to hunt <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Victoria" title="Victoria">Victoria</a>, but loses her trail in somewhere in South America.
<br />
<figure class="thumb tleft thumbinner" style="width: 252px;"><figcaption class="thumbcaption"><br />After he mistakenly learns from his sister Rosalie that Bella has
committed suicide based on a vision Alice had of Bella cliff diving -
which is later explained to be done for recreational purposes - Edward
becomes completely broken and attempts to convince a coven of powerful
Italian vampires, the <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Volturi" title="Volturi">Volturi</a>,
to kill him, by explaining that he broke one of the most important
vampire laws: telling Bella, a human, about the existence of vampires,
but <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Aro" title="Aro">Aro</a>,
the leader of the Volturi, refuses as he finds his power useful to
their collection. Then, Edward decides to expose himself by appearing
under sunlight during the St. Marcus Festival to make them kill him.
Alice immediately has a vision of his death, and she and Bella rush to
Italy to stop him before he fulfills his plans. During the festival, he
is about to step into the light, but Bella manages to stop him and show
him that she was still alive. Bella is then brought to meet the Volturi,
and Edward and Alice find out that she is immune to other vampires'
powers as well as his. Though Aro is intrigued with Bella's immunity,
they think of her as a liability that must be disposed of, until Alice
shows them a vision she previously had of Bella becoming one of them in
the future, and wins the permission to leave Volterra peacefully.
<br />
After they return from Italy, Edward explains why he left and
apologizes to Bella. She forgives him entirely, and they continue on
with their relationship as if Edward had never left, with him promising
never to leave her ever again. His family also moves back to <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Forks,_Washington" title="Forks, Washington">Forks</a>
to continue the way things were before they left. Upon realizing that
their current situation – fear for Bella's humanity while they are
together – is untenable, Bella successfully seeks the support of
Edward's family for the idea of turning her into a <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Vampire" title="Vampire">vampire</a>.
Edward becomes furious at the thought of Bella losing her humanity in
order to be with him, but later agrees to change her himself if she
agrees to marry him first. Bella, traumatized by her parents' fate,
argues against this.

them. Edward thanks Jacob for protecting Bella while he was gone, and
asks if there was anything he could do to repay him. Jacob says that he
wants Edward to leave and never return, but Edward says that is only in
Bella's power. Jacob also reminds Edward (though he hasn't forgotten)
about the treaty, saying that it would be broken if he bit Bella. This
sparks anger from Bella, protesting that it is none of his business and
that it is her choice. Her fury is interrupted by <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Charlie" title="Charlie">Charlie</a>, who demands that Bella comes inside after Jacob turned in her secret motorcycle, and she storms home.<br />

</div>
<i><a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Eclipse" title="Eclipse">Eclipse</a></i>
continues the drama of Bella and Edward's relationship. Edward explains
that he is reluctant to change Bella into a vampire because he believes
that vampires are soulless creatures who have no place in heaven.
Bella, whose opinion of marriage is jaded by the early divorce of her
own parents, agrees to marry Edward on the condition he will make love
with her while she is still human and change her into a vampire. He
initially refuses, saying that he could easily lose control in the heat
of the moment. However, seeing how important it is to Bella, he agrees
to try and make love with her while she is still human, but only after
they are married.
<br />
At first, Edward completely despises of the idea of having Jacob
Black or the wolves near Bella and does everything he can to prevent
their encounter, even buy Alice a <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Vehicles#Alice_Cullen" title="Vehicles">yellow Porsche</a>
in exchange for a slumber party with Bella while he goes on a weekend
hunting trip. Eventually, he realizes how much he is forcing Bella based
on his privilege on the wolves and agrees to tolerate her visits on a
few conditions. He also learns from Bella that the Quileutes only turned
into werewolves when they cross paths with vampires, allowing him to
realize that they aren't really werewolves, but <i>shapeshifters</i> with the power to transform into wolves. This revelation is delivered to the Quileutes and the Volturi in <i>Breaking Dawn</i>.
Meanwhile, Jacob Black declares his feelings for Bella and forcibly
kisses her, trying to convince her to leave Edward for him. Bella and
Edward are both furious at Jacob for this, and Edward vows to break
Jacob's jaw if he ever kisses Bella without her consent again.
<br />
The plot is driven by the machinations of the vampire <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Victoria" title="Victoria">Victoria</a>, who first met Bella and the Olympic Coven during the first book, <i>Twilight</i>. Victoria, seeking revenge for the death of her mate <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/James" title="James">James</a>, is hunting Bella and creating <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Newborn" title="Newborn">newborn</a>
vampires to build an army. To combat this threat, the Cullens call on
the Denali Coven for help, but the Denalis abandon them when the Cullens
refuse to let them avenge <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Laurent" title="Laurent">Laurent</a>'s death. It is apparent that <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Irina" title="Irina">Irina</a>
was in love with him during a brief stay with her coven. Without any
other options, an alliance is made between the Cullens and the
Native-American werewolf pack led by <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Sam_Uley" title="Sam Uley">Sam Uley</a>
and Jacob. However, before the battle starts, Jacob overhears Edward
and Bella's marriage plans, and threatens to get himself killed because
Bella won't love him. Bella agrees to kiss Jacob if he stayed and while
doing so, she realizes that she is also in love with him as well,
despite her engagement to Edward. Edward surprisingly accepts this,
saying that no matter who Bella chooses he'll be happy as long as she
is. Bella realizes that she loves Edward more than Jacob, and chooses
him. Soon after this, Victoria and <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Riley_Biers" title="Riley Biers">Riley</a>, a newborn whom she pretended to love, find Bella's hiding spot. Edward manages to kill Victoria, with <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Seth_Clearwater" title="Seth Clearwater">Seth Clearwater</a> killing Riley. The Cullens and the Quileute werewolves, meanwhile, destroy her newborn army.
<br />
<figure class="thumb tright thumbinner" style="width: 252px;"><figcaption class="thumbcaption"><a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Victoria" title="Victoria"></a><br />After the battle, Bella visits Jacob and tells him that she has
chosen Edward over him. Edward spends the night holding Bella as she
cries over pushing Jacob away. After she calms down, Edward asks Bella
if she is sure that choosing him was the right decision, since he had
never seen her in such pain. Bella, who had been in worse pain when
Edward left her, assures him that she can live without Jacob, but not
him. After hiring Alice to plan out their wedding, Edward tells Bella
that they can make love before they get married, as he realizes that she
spends too much of her life trying to please other people. However, she
refuses his offer and says that she will do everything the right way:
marriage, making love, and then becoming a vampire. Bella then tells
Edward that they need to tell Charlie about their engagement.
<br />
Edward later secretly sends Jacob an invitation to his and
Bella's wedding, thinking that Jacob deserves the choice to come or not.
The ending shows Jacob running away in his wolf form after seeing the
wedding invitation.

There is, however, a disturbance: Jacob's unexpected arrival, who

will kill her. Soon after, Edward and Bella spend their honeymoon on <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Isle_Esme" title="Isle Esme">Isle Esme</a>,

bruising Bella again. They spend their honeymoon hiking in the jungles,
diving and keeping themselves occupied with all kinds of games. After a
short period of time, Bella becomes very sick, and realizes that she is
pregnant when she discovers a box of unused tampons. Bella soon
receives a phone call from Alice, and asks to speak to Carlisle. Edward
soon falls into shock when he listens to their conversation. He realizes
that what grows inside Bella needs to be killed.
<br />
<figure class="thumb tleft thumbinner" style="width: 252px;"><figcaption class="thumbcaption"><br />Edward rushes Bella off the island to see Carlisle, who confirms she
is expecting his child. Edward fears that the pregnancy will kill her,
and, unable to stand the thought, he tries to convince her into having
an abortion. However, she feels a bond with her unborn child and insists
on giving birth. Edward doesn't give up so easily, going as far as to
ask Jacob if he would conceive a child with Bella. The baby, however,
eventually wins Edward over; when old enough, is able to let him hear
its thoughts, and he is both shocked and delighted to find out that it
already loves the two of them. Bella nearly dies giving birth in an
emergency c-section, but Edward successfully delivers his baby girl with
Jacob's help, whom Bella had named <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Renesmee" title="Renesmee">Renesmee</a>.
Edward then injects his venom into Bella's heart, thus healing her
wounds by turning her into a vampire. During Bella's painful
transformation, Jacob goes crazy with rage when he thinks she is dead.
Irrationally blaming Renesmee, he tries to kill her, but ends up
imprinting on her instead.
<br />
During Bella's transformation, Edward sits patiently by her side,
waiting for her to recover. He is also relieved by the renewed peace
between the wolves and his family, and more importantly, the arrival of
their half-human daughter.
<br />
<figure class="thumb tright thumbinner" style="width: 252px;"><figcaption class="thumbcaption"><br />When Bella wakes up from her transformation, Edward takes her out on
her first hunt so she won't attack Renesmee. He is impressed by her
ability to resist the smell of human blood, but still irritated by his
inability to read her mind. They are also given a cottage renovated by
Esme as a present. Edward and Bella are extremely annoyed by Jacob's
imprinting on Renesmee, but they later accept that it was involuntary.
By this time, Edward and Jacob appear to have become friends, who does
them a "favor" by telling Charlie about the supernatural world but
restrains from telling him about vampires, which allows the Cullens to
stay in Forks for a while longer.
<br />
<figure class="thumb tleft thumbinner" style="width: 252px;"><figcaption class="thumbcaption"><br />Three months later, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Irina" title="Irina">Irina</a>, of the <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Denali_Coven" title="Denali Coven">Denali Coven</a>, reports Renesmee to the Volturi as an <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Vampire#Immortal_children" title="Vampire">immortal child</a>, whose creation is forbidden. The Volturi gather their entire guard against the <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Olympic_Coven" title="Olympic Coven">Cullens</a>. In the month it takes for them to arrive, the Cullens turn to all their allies (the La Push <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Shape-shifter" title="Shape-shifter">werewolves</a>, the Denali Coven, and numerous other vampires) for assistance. When the <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Volturi" title="Volturi">Volturi</a>
finally arrive, the confrontation comes close to a fight. Bella's gift
becomes apparent in the fact that she can protect her and others around
her from the Volturi's mental attacks. This causes the Volturi to
rethink their position. In the end, however, the Volturi are convinced
that Renesmee is not a threat, and they leave. With the confrontation
over, Edward, Bella and Renesmee are free to live their lives forever.
<br />
At the end of the story, Bella removes her <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Mental_shield" title="Mental shield">shield</a>,
allowing Edward to read her mind for the first time, which brings them
even closer. And from there on, their happily ever after begins.

any aspect of him for granted. My eyes traced over his pale white

</div>
Edward is noted to be extremely attractive. Bella has often described
his appearance as similar to the mythical Greek god, Adonis. His facial
features are described as perfect and angular - high cheekbones, a
strong jawline, a straight nose and full lips. His untidy hair retains
the unusual bronze shade that he inherited from his biological mother, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Elizabeth_Masen" title="Elizabeth Masen">Elizabeth Masen</a>.
His eyes, once green, are now described as topaz or liquid gold. His
appearance changes if he goes long without feeding: his eyes darken,
becoming onyx black, and purple bruise-like shadows appear beneath his
eyes. Edward stands at 6'2", and has a thin and lanky but muscular body,
remaining frozen physically at 17 years old, though he is technically
over a hundred.
<br />
He usually wears light colored clothes accompanied by a light beige leather jacket.
<br />
In the book, <i>The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner</i>, Bree describes Edward as the "redhead mind reader", as she never knew his name.<br />
<br />

</dd></dl>
</div>
Edward is usually described as brooding and stubborn, but also very kind and compassionate. <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Bella" title="Bella">Bella</a>
also describes him as charming, polite, and determined. He easily
dazzles human females with his beauty, scent and body, and persuades
them to do his bidding. He always puts Bella's safety, humanity and
welfare before anything else, and goes to great lengths to protect her
from what he sees as danger. Edward is also a bit of a romantic at
heart. He often over analyzes situations and has a tendency to
overreact, especially in situations where Bella's safety is potentially
at risk - evident in his decision to disable her vehicle to prevent her
from visiting the emotionally unstable Jacob Black.
<br />
He retains some of the traditional mindset and outdated speech
from his human life in the early 20th century. The development of Edward
Cullen's character was influenced by Gilbert Blythe, Fitzwilliam Darcy,
and Edward Rochester – particularly the latter, who, like him, sees
himself as a "monster". Edward puts his free time to great use. Since vampires do not sleep, he
employs the night hours reading books and studying languages, science,
business and music, becoming a virtuoso on the piano he owns in his
house. Edward enjoys listening to a wide range of music, including
classical, jazz, progressive metal, alternative rock, punk rock, but he
dislikes country. He prefers indie rock to mainstream, and appreciates
rock and classical music equally. He surprises Bella in an early car
ride by having Debussy in his CD player.<sup> </sup>Edward mentions in <i><a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Twilight" title="Twilight">Twilight</a></i>
that he likes music from the fifties better than the sixties, and
dislikes the seventies entirely and comments that the eighties were
"just bearable". He never comments on the music from his own teen years,
as well as the twenties swing music which came a few years after his
turning.
<br />
<figcaption class="thumbcaption"><br />Edward and his family all enjoy driving fast. He has a hobby of collecting cars.<sup> </sup>He owns a Volvo S60R, which becomes a C30 in the movie adaptation, and
an Aston Martin Vanquish as a "special occasion" car. He also gave his
sister Alice a yellow Porsche 911 Turbo as a gift in <i><a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Eclipse" title="Eclipse">Eclipse</a></i>. He bought a motorcycle to ride alongside Bella, but gave it to <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Jasper_Hale" title="Jasper Hale">Jasper</a>
after realizing that this was something she did with Jacob. Esme
described him as a gentleman. Although Edward appears convinced of his
own soulless status, Bella noted that he must believe on some level that
he possesses a soul as, when he saw her in Volterra while believing
that she was dead, his automatic assumption was that he had gone to
Heaven with her rather than that she was still alive.
<br />
<a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Stephenie_Meyer" title="Stephenie Meyer">Stephenie Meyer</a>
explains that Edward started out as a pessimistic character. He always
thought of himself as an abomination of nature, not deserving happiness
nor believing that his relationship with Bella would last, until he gave
her a daughter and brought Bella more happiness than he could have ever
imagined. To him, Bella's happiness was everything; furthermore, he was
the one who gave her that. At the end of <i>Breaking Dawn</i>, he has become a much more positive person and fearlessly faces the Volturi.<br />

<figure class="thumb tright thumbinner" style="width: 252px;"><figcaption class="thumbcaption">Edward is the fastest vampire in the Cullen family. He and Jasper are
the best fighters in their coven, though they are not the strongest. As
a vampire, he has sharp senses, superhuman strength, speed, endurance,
healing factor, and agility. He describes himself as the most dangerous
predator in the world whereas his appearance, scent and voice are
enormously attractive to his prey, so much so that he occasionally sends
Bella into a daze entirely by accident. Edward explains that vampires
do not need to breathe, though they often do so out of habit and to
retain their ability to smell. He cannot digest human food, and compares
its attractiveness for him to the prospect of eating dirt for a regular
person. He also compares his family's "vegetarian" diet to a human only
eating tofu, as it gives them the same strength as human blood but
never fully satisfies them.

<dl><dd>―Edward to Bella on his gift</dd></dl>
</dd></dl>
</div>
Edward possesses the <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Special_abilities" title="Special abilities">gift</a> to read others' thoughts. His gift is different from <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Aro" title="Aro">Aro</a>'s,
which is limited by his need to touch the target and can access every
thought a person has ever had. Aro is very intrigued by Edward's power
because he can read people's minds from a distance and what is going
through their mind at that moment, and wishes to make him part of the
Volturi Guard. However, Edward refuses.
<br />
Edward's power seemingly comes from his dormant ability to read
people as a human, which became a supernatural talent when he became a
vampire. He can hear all "voices" in close proximity with him, but has
learned to block out the ones he is uninterested in by focusing on one
voice or something in particular. Edward mentions that his ability is
like being in a room where everyone is talking at once. He can tune out
the "voices" so that it's just a low buzzing in the background. The
closer and more familiar he is to his target, the farther away he can
reach when he wants to, but can only keep track of a person within a few
miles. He mentions in <i><a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Twilight" title="Twilight">Twilight</a></i> that he can use it to dismiss people who feel attraction toward him and his family. He can also telepathically experience <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Alice" title="Alice">Alice</a>'s visions and keep track of a <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Shape-shifter" title="Shape-shifter">shape-shifter</a>'s telepathic link to his pack when he is within range. However, he cannot read Bella's thoughts as she is <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Mental_shield" title="Mental shield">shielded</a>, which is part of what made him curious about her when they first met.

</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
The <b>Olympic Coven</b>, better known as the <b>Cullen family</b>, <b>Cullen clan</b>, or <b>Cullen coven</b>, is a coven of <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Vegetarian" title="Vegetarian">vegetarian</a> <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Vampire" title="Vampire">vampires</a>. It consists of <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Carlisle_Cullen" title="Carlisle Cullen">Carlisle</a>, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Esme_Cullen" title="Esme Cullen">Esme</a>, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Alice_Cullen" title="Alice Cullen">Alice</a>, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Emmett_Cullen" title="Emmett Cullen">Emmett</a>, and <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Edward_Cullen" title="Edward Cullen">Edward Cullen</a>, as well as <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Rosalie_Hale" title="Rosalie Hale">Rosalie</a> and <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Jasper_Hale" title="Jasper Hale">Jasper Hale</a>. Later in the series, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Bella_Swan" title="Bella Swan">Bella Swan</a> and her daughter with Edward, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Renesmee_Cullen" title="Renesmee Cullen">Renesmee Cullen</a>, also become members of the coven.
</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
They are known to be very loyal to each other and put more value
on human life than most other vampires. Abstaining from human blood
takes the competitive aspect out of their hunting instincts, and as a
result allows them to form stronger family bonds than traditional
vampires. They currently live in <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Forks,_Washington" title="Forks, Washington">Forks, Washington</a>, which they have no plans of leaving, unless forced to.
</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
The Cullens prefer to stay in one place as long as possible,
choosing cloudy climates where they can go outside during the day
without revealing their inhuman nature. But after 6-7 years, they are
forced to move on before their lack of aging is noticed. They own
several residences so that they can return to places they have
especially enjoyed - but only after enough time has passed that they
won't be recognized as the same people who once lived there.
</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
Each member maintains several well-tended identities, complete
with documents to support them, which allows the Cullens to establish
themselves in new locations as necessary.
</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
Each time the Cullens move to a new place, the relationships they
claim to share with one another may shift, too. In one place, two
members might pose as father and adopted son, in another, brothers, or
uncle and nephew. Regardless, the bonds of love and respect between them
are the same.
</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
They form four couples: <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Carlisle_and_Esme" title="Carlisle and Esme">Carlisle and Esme</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Edward_and_Bella" title="Edward and Bella">Edward and Bella</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Emmett_and_Rosalie" title="Emmett and Rosalie">Emmett and Rosalie</a>, <a class="mw-redirect" href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Alice_and_Jasper" title="Alice and Jasper">Alice and Jasper</a>. Edward, Esme, Rosalie and Emmett were turned by Carlisle, Jasper by a vampire named <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Maria" title="Maria">Maria</a>
and Alice by an unknown vampire at a mental asylum. Bella was turned by
Edward, seconds after giving birth to their daughter Renesmee.
</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
The Cullens are the second largest and most powerful vampire coven, with only the <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Volturi" title="Volturi">Volturi</a>
ranking higher in number and power, but more mature and stable than
most of the others, a result of abstaining from human blood.</div>

<b>Carlisle Cullen:</b> Born in 1643 in England, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Carlisle_Cullen" title="Carlisle Cullen">Carlisle Cullen</a>
is the founder of the Olympic Coven. At a time when humankind believed
in mythical creatures, he was tasked by his father to hunt evil
creatures. He then found an actual coven of vampires and was bitten by
one when he led a mob to kill them. He was repulsed when he realized
what had happened to him, and tried many times to kill himself, though
ultimately unsuccessful. He eventually found that he could survive on a
diet of animal blood without harming human beings, and so began to
practice feeding only on animals.
</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
He traveled to Europe and eventually found the <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Volturi" title="Volturi">Volturi</a>.
After staying with them for two decades, he left because he was
unwilling to feed on humans, which they endlessly attempted to entice
him to. He eventually found his way to America, and became a doctor.

<b>Edward Masen, Jr:</b> In 1918, Carlisle was working night shifts
in a Chicago hospital, when Spanish Influenza hit the city. Among the
many people who were dying from it, there was a 17-year old boy named <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Edward_Cullen" title="Edward Cullen">Edward Anthony Masen, Jr</a>.
After being unable to save his parents, Carlisle decided to turn him,
partly out of loneliness and partly because Edward's mother, <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Elizabeth_Masen" title="Elizabeth Masen">Elizabeth</a> asked him to do anything he could to save Edward. Carlisle realized Edward's <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Telepathy" title="Telepathy">power</a>
soonafter his transformation. They began to travel together, using the
cover story of Edward being the younger brother of Carlisle's late wife.
</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
<b>Esme Platt-Evenson:</b> In 1921, Carlisle changed a young 26-year old woman named <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Esme_Cullen" title="Esme Cullen">Esme Anne Platt Evenson</a>
to save her from dying after an attempted suicide. They first met each
other in 1911 when Carlisle treated her broken leg. This encounter made
an impact on each other so much that neither of them forgot the other.
Carlisle and Esme fell in love and later on got married.
</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
In between 1927 and 1931, Edward left Esme and Carlisle to try a
vampire/vigilante lifestyle, preying only on the worst people in society
while avoiding the innocent. His first victim was Esme's abusive
ex-husband. Over time, however, his guilt of these justifiable murders
compelled him to return to them and drink animal blood again.
</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
<b>Rosalie Hale:</b> While living in New York in 1933, Carlisle changed an 18-year old girl named <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Rosalie_Hale" title="Rosalie Hale">Rosalie Lillian Hale</a>
after she was nearly killed by her drunken fiancé and his friends. He
intended for her to be Edward's mate, but their relationship never
advanced beyond that of siblings. Other than Carlisle, she was the only
one who retained her surname. After getting her revenge on her fiancé
and his friends, Rosalie begrudgingly joined their family.

being mauled by a bear. Rosalie carried him for miles to Carlisle, who
then changed him into a vampire. Emmett and Rosalie soon fell in love.
In 1936, the Cullens moved to Forks, where they ran into a pack of
shape-shifters led by <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Ephraim_Black" title="Ephraim Black">Ephraim Black</a>. The two groups signed a <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Treaty" title="Treaty">treaty</a>, agreeing to a truce as long as the Cullens lived there. The Cullen family moved away from Forks some time after this.
</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
<b>Jasper Whitlock and Mary Alice Brandon:</b> Two more vampires, 19-year olds <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Alice_Cullen" title="Alice Cullen">Mary Alice Brandon</a> — known as Alice — and <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Jasper_Hale" title="Jasper Hale">Jasper Whitlock</a>,
found the Cullens and joined them in 1950. Alice changed her surname to
Cullen and Jasper changed his to Rosalie's surname of Hale, and out of
the similarities in their appearance he poses as Rosalie's twin. This
becomes their cover story while attending high school with humans.
</div>
<div style="color: cyan;">
The Cullen family encountered many vampire covens, but never
found one that shared the same dietary on animal blood until they met
the <a href="http://twilightsaga.wikia.com/wiki/Denali_Coven" title="Denali Coven">Denali Coven</a>,
and stayed with them for a while. They eventually began to attract too
much attention - due to their similarities and the amount of numbers -
and the Cullens moved back to Forks. By this time, the Cullens were
aware that Ephraim and his pack were dead, but still respected the
treaty by staying away from Quileute lands. </div>
