Oh, yeah. There is no doubt that Renesmee is a very...underdeveloped character in the book and movie. We learn nothing of her, but all this amazing stuff she can do, and that tells us nothing about her. I feel like in both the book and the movie she is easily written off as just an extenstion of Jacob, Edward, and Bella, and never really shown doing much on her own. We never see her just playing by herself, or drawing, or anything halfway normal.

I get that she's not normal, but that doesn't mean childish things wouldn't be good for her. Renesmee is shown as Bella was. Mature beyond her years, and she's never really shown as just being a child. It made her character not only creepy, but hard to understand. It's more like we just have a thirty something woman stuck in the body of a rapidly aging child.

Also the hunting in the book with Jacob and Bella was just beyond creepy. The last thing I want to read about is some kid running around the forest eating animals.

I feel like Renesmee was an intersting idea that was rushed, and then overshadowded with so much creepiness that it was hard to truly figure her out, or feel any connection with her. I feel like it would have been better to have never had Jacob imprinting, or just not have Renesmee age so fast, because both of those things drew away from Renesmee herself. Bella was worried about Renesmee's aging (rightfully so), but if Jacob was around than Bella was too concerned on the two of them to just focus on Renesmee, and the details about her that would have made her a more developed character.
