More questions, okay:

1. Yes, it is necessary because if Bella's knight in shining glitter didn't leave, the series wouldn't have as much so-called "depth" to it.

2. No way. She doesn't have to because Miss Mary-Sue will be eternally forgiven anyway (my butt).

3. Yes, they do, I suppose. Vampire Diaries and the Morganville Vampires (or whatever it's called) are some.

4. Because SM doesn't know the first thing about classic vampires, and she wanted to be "original". I don't think they were intended as faeries though...
