User blog comment:T Universe/I LOVE Bella Swan, but which one do YOU prefer?/@comment-9767210-20130615031713

I love Bella in both her lives, I guess you could call it that. As a human, she's more than just an average teenager, I mean aside from being clumsy, although we all have our shining moments, she had dignity. But she cared for Charlie, she cooked and cleaned. She was brave, even as a human. I wish sometimes that people would keep in mind that she's not selfish, at all. She never meant for anyone to have to die or fight for her. In Twilight, she just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Once James got her scent, that was it. That locked it right there, because we all knew that Edward loved her and that he wasn't going to let anything happen to her. In the books (if you've read them) she clearly says more than once, something along the lines of, "I don't want anyone to get hurt because of me." She realizes that shes human, and that being a human in a vampire world has its dangers. The reason for the Volturi getting involved can actually circle back to Rosalie. Shes the one who didn't allow Alice to confirm whether or not Bella was alive, Rose went and told Edward, but all Alice had seen was Bella cliff diving. Although it was recreational, I can understand how someone might take that the wrong way. Edward called then, and Charlie was at a funeral (even tho it was harry's) like what perfect timing. Still, he wouldn't have called had Rosalie not opened her big mouth. He then wanted to die and then BOOM. Now the Volturi know about Bella, and shes wanted, and she has to be changed and now theres more danger. Again, not entirely Bella's fault. As for her vampire self, she's still the same person. Just as a vampire, as explained in the book, everything is enhanced. She doesn't need to breathe, or blink. She can run so fast and see things so much better, to her, she can't see the difference aside from the physical beauty. Also keep in mind that she's had a child, Bella has a maternal side that comes out strongly in this movie/book, which is where we see the badass, intimidation and protective side. It's the same person, just now, she has a different lifestyle which shes adjusting too. I think either way, she's remarkable, fantastic in all books/movies.
