Bella Cullen
Ability - Shield Bella's gift is an extremely powerful mental forcefield. Bella's shield is so powerful in fact that it's been working without her knowledge, most likely, since birth. It protects her from "Gifts" that affect the mind. i.e. Telepathy, Illusions, Visual Projections and such. For that exact reason Edward can't read her mind, Jane can't cause her pain and Kate can't shock her. Through practice Bella learned she could expand her shield in-order to protect others, causing them to become immune to all mental gifts. Although at first it was quite hard for her to maintain this coverage of others, she was soon able to cover a great distance and a large number of people with extreme ease. Bella can expand, retract, shape and mold her gift at will; virtually blanketing herself and the others she's protecting. Although much more straining to her, Bella can also lift her shield off of her mind altogether. This action allows Edward to read his soul-mates mind for the first time, thus bringing them even closer.
 * In Breaking Dawn, Bella shielded herself and her allies in the battle against the Volturi.
 * At the very end of Breaking Dawn, Bella displaced her shield allowing Edward to read her mind.

Edward Cullen
Ability - Telepathy Edward's gift allows him to hear/see the thoughts of others. All that is except for Bella. Edward can hear groups at a time, although he has stated that he has learned to drown out the extra voices. The closer or more familiar Edward is to a vampire, human, or wolf's mind the better or more clear he can hear them. A stronger bond also allows him to hear them from a greater distance. Like Alice, Edward's ability seems to work best with other vampires.
 * Edward found most of the minds of kids in Forks High School to be "unimaginative", but couldn't hear what Bella was thinking at all. He also had the displeasure of reading Jacob Black's mind.
 * In Twilight Edward was able to save Bella from a group of men who were going to attack her because he saw what they were planning when he read their minds.
 * He knew Mike, Eric, and Tyler were all going to ask Bella to the dance, but he didn't know what her response would be to any of them.

Alice Cullen
Ability - Clairvoyance Alice can see into the future. She can focus in on certain people or search for certain events. Her visions aren't perfect, as the final decisions regarding the future she sees have to have been made at the time of her viewing them. She can't see a future very well that hasn't been decided yet. This makes predictable things like the weather easy for her to read. She also can't see anything involved with the werewolves/shape-shifters.
 * In Twilight, Alice used her ability to predict when the lightning storm would be happening so her family could play baseball.
 * Alice also could see James in Bella's old dance studio in Phoenix, and Bella later being captured by him, once Bella made the decision to meet him there.
 * In New Moon Alice was able to see Edward's decision to provoke the Volturi but could not see exactly how he would do it because he kept changing his mind.

 * Eleazar was the first person to identify Bella's ability as a shield even though he couldn't be specific because she was unconsiously shielding her mind from him.

Kate
Ability - Can Produce an Electrical Current Kate can cover her body with an electrical current. Upon physical contact while her gift is in use, depending on the power she puts into it, the person can feel as little as static shock or great enough to cause their knees to buckle and have them on their backs. Because this gist doesn't effect Bella the current most likely sends a single to the brain which would be a similar effect to Jane's gift.
 * In Breaking Dawn, Garrett attempts to find out if Kate's current would affect him. She releases the current across her body, he touches her, and the intense current causes him to flip onto his back.
 * In Breaking Dawn, Kate uses her talent to help train Bella to transfer her shield onto others.

Zafrina
Ability - Visual Projection Zafrina can project vision into others minds. These vision seem so real to the person impacted by them they can easily forget that it's not real, extremely quickly.
 * In Breaking Dawn, while Bella was training to expand her shield, Zafrina caused the surrounding vampires to experience an illusion of "blindness" (she in fact caused them to not see anything). When Bella expanded her shield to include vampires near to her, they were able to see again. This means that Zafrina is unable to penetrate Bella's shield as her abilities affect a person's mind, causing Bella and anyone under Bella's shield to not be affected.
 * In Breaking Dawn Zafrina kept Renesmee entertained by showing her pretty pictures causing Renesmee to become very attached to her.

Ability - Elemental Control Benjamin's ability allows him to physically manipulate the 4 elements. i.e.  Earth, Air, Fire and Water
 * In Breaking Dawn, Benjamin tried to prevent Alec's ability (which took the form of a creeping mist) from reaching the Cullens and the witnesses. He first caused a powerful gust of wind to try and carry the creeping mist off. When that didn't work, he caused the ground to open underneath the mist. The mist was an ability that came from Alec's mind, so it was unaffected by Benjamin's physical ability, and the mist was not swallowed by the fissure.
